GSWiki:One Small Wiki Favor: Difference between revisions

'''One Small Wiki Favour''' is a project to improve the Gemini Station Wiki, where wiki users can contribute to a number of ongoing wiki tasks and qualify for receiving in-game rewards, including (ADDING SOON). '''Anyone is welcome to participate''', whether you're completely new to the wiki or you've been here for a while. If you have not edited before, then this is a great time to get involved!

To participate in this project and (GET AN ITEM), take a look at the tasks below and find one that looks exciting -- completing any one of them will definitely mark your way to earning you a share of an item. Each task has some advice on how to effectively tackle it, but we strongly recommend '''joining the [https://discord.gg/ChEMWDw <code>#wiki</code>] channel in our Discord''' to coordinate with other editors, discuss the project, and claim your rewards. If you do not wish to create a discord account you can claim rewards and get help via the [[Talk:GSWiki:One_Small_Wiki_Favor|talk (discussion) page]] or by contacting the co-ordinator via their talk page. Note that rewards are not awarded automatically so please contact the coordinator and allow time to check the task, and it may take up to several days before your rewards to be given by Noresist.

If you have worked on a goal and want to be considered for a reward, please let us know in the #wiki discord channel. One of the project helpers will check your contributions pass it on to Noresist if you have completed the task.

|task=Switch Construction related images to new license

|desc=Update 250 images that link to the older license to use the new version

|guidance=Image licenses can be used to categorise images, making it easier to maintain them. We have created a new license for Construction related images which has the option to specify their type to automatically categorise them. Images using the old license need to be switched to this new one. A list of images to be edited can be found at [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:POH_license]]. For each image:

# Replace ''name'' with the name of the page that the name is used on.

# Add the correct type for type= by specifying from the list below:

{{!}} <code>built</code>

{{!}} [[:Category:Construction built images|Construction built images]]

{{!}} [[:Category:Construction hotspot images|Construction hotspot images]]

|title=Farming Plant Pages

|task=Create or substantially improve the pages for 15 plants.

|desc=The wiki is currently missing pages for most plants (the scenery objects of Farming produce) and we are looking for help creating them! These pages can be created by anyone and don't require in game actions to create.

|guidance= These pages should be under the in game object name when possible, the table bellow contains the needed pages with the correct page names.

 

Page should include {{t|Infobox interactive scenery}} followed by a short text on which patch they grow in, how many seeds are needed, the level required and similar information. The id's as well as the in game name can be found in the [https://chisel.weirdgloop.org/gazproj/mrod MROD Database] search for plant using it's name or a part of the name, preceded and suceeded by a <code>/</code>. For example <code>/strawberry/</code>. The infobox versions should be split, as in the [[Strawberry plant|example]] into ''Seed'' (just been planted), ''Seed (w)'' (just planted and watered), ''Growing'' (growth stages), ''Growing (w)'' (watered), ''Diseased'', ''Dead'' and ''Grown'' (fully grown can be harvested). In the database these can be told appart by the actions listed, for all but seed and grown there should be one id per growth stage, minus the first (Seed) and final (grown) stage (for strawberry this means 5).

 

This should be followed by the {{t|Infobox Farming}} and then the growth stage image tables (both of which can be copied from the seed page). When copying the infobox please ensure that the <code><nowiki>|grown =</nowiki></code> parameter contains the correct link (the page you are creating) and the displayed text matches the in game name (this applies to the box on the seed page as well). Remeber to change the <code><nowiki>|name=</nowiki></code> parameter on the new page to match the in game name of the plant.

The bottom of the page should have the {{t|Seeds}} template, which is the navigation box.

'''See [[Strawberry plant]] for an example page.'''

|title=Farming stage images

|task=Update images of the growth stages for 5 different plants

|desc=Our images of plant growth stages are severely outdated. We are looking for players with a range of [[Farming]] levels who can capture images as their plants progress through different [[Farming#Growth cycles|growth cycles]].

|guidance=[[:Category:Farming stage images]] contains all the images that we currently have - many plants have received graphical updates and all Farming patches were updated a while ago so nearly all the images need to be taken again. Simply put the plant into the patch and capture a new image each time that its appearance changes.

 

Some changes can be very small, so its important to capture images at the same patch and to use the same angle to show the differences between stages clearly. An example of good images can be found on the [[money tree]] page; and there is a guide on how to capture high quality images [[RuneScape:Editing/Taking images|here]].

Waiting for plants to grow may take some time but you may be able to use [[Rapid Growth]] or [[ultra-growth potion]]s to skip through some stages.

The following plants' images have been completed:

<div style="columns: 2;">

|desc=In order to have the highest quality images possible on the wiki many of them need to have the background removed and we need your help.  

'''It is strongly recommended to NOT use the magic wand tool as it will result in a poor transparency.'''

|guidance=We pride ourselves on having excellent quality images on the wiki. One of the things we do to achieve that is to remove distracting backgrounds from images, which we call adding transparency (or translucency for images that have particles or bloom effects). There are always plenty of images which require transparency or translucency to be added to them - they can be found in [[:Category:Images needing transparency]] and [[:Category:Images needing translucency]].

Transparency can be quite tricky to do at first, but we have a step-by-step guide on how to add it [[RuneScape:Editing/Image transparency|here]]. If you are not familiar with adding transparency to images, we recommend that you get feedback from other editors on your first attempts. It can take a few tries to edit transparency well. Please keep in mind that transparency must be done to a certain standard in order to qualify for this project. Some info on translucency can be found [[RuneScape:Images and media policy#Particle transparency and translucency|here]].
