The Albion Online Wiki

I haven’t had as much time in the last week to finish up the Pyromancer weapons page, but it’s made some progress. I hope I can finish it up during this weekend.

Anyone have suggestions for further topics of the week?

One of the next goals (after making all weapons and spells searchable on the wiki, during the weapon family pages push) is inputting missing things that actually exist in-game and are tradable.

This weeks wiki update:

• Add ALL the things (or #redirect) to the Wiki!
  

This week I'd like to push for a bit of small piece completion of the wiki and add a bunch of items to it.

Meaning, if it exists and is tradeable in-game it should generate a response on the wiki.

Since we have decided that we want to set up the wiki in a family-page style first, a lot of those single item names will have to be set up as "redirects".

For example: Runes, Souls and Relics:

(those pages also need some love btw.)

• wiki.albiononline.com/wiki/Rune
  
• wiki.albiononline.com/wiki/Soul
  
• wiki.albiononline.com/wiki/Relic
  

This is what I would call a category, exactly similar to what is searchable on the market. (or to be precise: a subcategory)

But since the main category "Materials" is a bit too broad with "Cooked, Essence, Farming, Other, Relic, Rune, Soul" all in that category here a smaller sub-page would be more fitting imo.

Anyway, the point is to create family-page entries for things that belong together or are essentially the same item, just on a different tier level.

In the above example we would have "Rune" as the main page (Market-Subcategory Name) and then have all those item-names redirect to that page:

• Runes
  
• Adept's Rune
  
• Expert's Rune
  
• Master's Rune
  
• ...
  

In practice how that works is that we have to actually create a page entry for say "Adept's Rune", but the only content of the page would be:


#REDIRECT [[Rune]]


What this does is it creates a page that looks like this (check the source), but when people search for "Adept's Rune" they automatically get redirected to the Rune page that should have all the information they need.

The challenge of course is to make the actual family page good, as we go along.

But the first goal is to have everything searchable on the wiki and then work on the details over time. At least thats what I will focus on for now.

How can I help this week?

• pretty straight forward: poke around and about the wiki, searching for exact item names
  
• if no entry for what you're searching exists, create one
  
• now you should decide wheter or not the item name warrants a redirect (ex. "Adept's Soul" should be redirected to "Soul" as seen above)
  
  • to create a redirect, make a new page and write this as its sole content: " #REDIRECT [[targetpagename]] "
    
  • pro-tip: if you need to redirect to a sub-section it works like this "#REDIRECT [[Pyromancer#Fire_Staff]]" (adding a # to seperate the subsection, and adding _ if the heading contains spaces)
    
• or if you're feeling extra creative you can help by writing down the basics of the (longer) family-pages, such as "Rune", "Essence", "Riding Horse", "Journals", "Artifact" or others
  

Winners of the contributors giveaway for last week will be posted soon, probably tomorrow morning german time.

I just stumbled on this and wanted to leave it here as a baseline for the armor family pages:

wiki.albiononline.com/wiki/Plate_Equipment

with most of that content to be moved to: wiki.albiononline.com/wiki/Plate_Armor_Fighter

and then trimmed with a large cutter to remove duplicate content

If you feel like helping out and adding some values from in-game, here are 2 pages that need some

wiki.albiononline.com/wiki/Cape
wiki.albiononline.com/wiki/Bag

there is no "old" password for the wiki

your login-data is the same across the websites (forum/game/wiki)
