P.MysteryUniverse Wiki:The How-to Guide to This Wiki!

While it is assumed that you will learn everything you have to just by helping out in the wiki slowly, there are some things that can be explained here that you wont learn anywhere else. These are a collaboration of ideas that could prove useful and since there is no other place to find them this is the spot!

Things about Editing
Editing in the wiki is probably the most major thing to do. There are some things to be familiar with that could end up helping you keep the wiki nice and cool looking.

Member-Only Pages
There are some places in this wiki that can only be edited by a member. These are people who have created an account, did 10 edits on unrestricted pages, and waited one week. While most pages in the wiki are generally made for everyone to edit, some are locked into Member-Only to prevent vandalism. The most common ones are Dungeons and the PMU Playerbase. Page restrictions are added by the PMU Wikia staff.

Dungeons
Dungeons are a major part of the game with new dungeons being added in every so often. Most dungeons have a lot of content so an organized way of creating dungeon pages has been established and can be accessed here.

Things to Do
The wiki will never be complete! This is an ongoing war that will never end. With new content and new players joining the game regularly there is always something to edit or add in, however there are some major things that anyone can do if they feel like it.

Player and Members

 * Editing: Tanren Chambers
 * Some Tanren Chambers items need to be checked since the rollback changed a few items. Tanren Chambers now only have eight items per fake room.
 * Editing: List of Recruitable Pokémon
 * Add missing recruit rates, and new recruits.
 * Editing: PMU Items
 * Editing: Family Items
 * Add in names of items with their effects for missing Pokémon, along with the sprites.
 * Editing: PMU Moves
 * Add in as many moves to each section available. The moves have been separated into different move types, so get familiar with them.
 * Editing: PMU Playerbase
 * Editing: Tips from Players
 * Editing: Training
 * Fixing up Dungeons to include Silk Rooms in their info boxes as well as update their general outline to look more like the current template.
 * General grammer checks (irony intended.)

Staff and Admins
Well, there are other to-do things, but these are probably the most needed.
 * Update front page
 * This includes adding in new dungeons to the table.
 * This includes getting a more detailed over world map.
 * This can mean to update the large slideshow to have different pictures that you deem fit.
 * This can mean to add a News section to the front page as well as other features.
 * Be vigilant for vandalism. Report it if you see it.
 * Keep a constant back up, we do not want massive rollbacks on another PMU format.
 * Add the PMU 7 category to all pages since this makes backing up simpler

Message Walls
Well even with all that said there are probably things that one can't just do or perhaps you have no idea how to do it. The best option for this dilemma is to contact various people on their message wall. Which is basically a place you can ask questions for the person to answer. The places you can ask such questions would be Message Wall. Here's a small list of active editors you could reach out to for help: As for the Quol that greets you when you edit something, ignore that. It's a bot.
 * Shadow Lucario (Admin)
 * Deleca (Admin)
 * Veezo

Discussions
A great way to get a general input on something when you have a question or suggestion is to go to the discussions page. It place has several categories that are all dedicated to the wiki.

News and Announcements
This is something good for staff members when they want to inform of the Wikiers about a major change or development. By highlighting a thread you can have everyone get a message about it so that way more people will view it... Probably.

Wikia Discussion
This is a place that one can make a thread to talk about the wiki. It is not a place for questions but rather a place to talk about various pages and stuff.

Wikia Suggestions
If you have an idea about something that will be interesting but are not sure if it will be something that is accepted, or something you want to near the community's input on then make a thread here.

Wikia Questions
When there is a problem or something that you have no idea on how to do then ask away here. Even though you might not get an answer because the forums are basically dead...its worth a shot!

Things Left Unsaid
There is probably a lot that has not been covered by this page alone. However by going around and helping the wiki out in various places the knowledge about what to do will naturally come. So good luck!
