= Helping out on the Wiki! =

This wiki is maintained entirely by editors who help by sharing their knowledge and time. We have no affiliation with Mobage / Silicon Studio, so if you're interested in helping, it's always very much appreciated! :)

Below are some tips and guidelines for anyone who wants to help, noting some of the areas that need regular updates, and how to do so in a way that keeps the wiki consistent and full of clean data.

== Event-Based Updates ==

Every time there's a new event cycle (aka every time Fanta goes down for maintenance after an event ends - roughly twice a week, often on Sunday/Monday and Thursday/Friday), a number of things need to be updated on the wiki to help reflect all of the new data:

=== Event Pages ===
The new event should be listed in several places:
* On the [[Events]] page, with the start / end dates and type. New events are added to the top of the current year list.
* On the appropriate/relevant event type page. For example, if the new event is a Panel Event, it should be added to the [[Panel Event]] page.
* The page for the event itself needs to be created. It's generally easiest to use the most recent event of the same type (so for a new [[Panel Event]], copying the code from the most recent Panel event), and update accordingly. Main sections, regardless of event type, will generally be:
** Event Info
** Event Schedule
** Bonus Units
** Reward Units
** Bosses (for [[Training Event]]s, etc)
** Reward items gained in the event
** Rank Reward Info

=== Pack Pages ===
Fanta generally releases a new purchasable pack every single day. These should be:
* Linked on the event page they are tied to. Note that all pack pages should be linked to an event. Even if a pack does not contain new / bonus units, it should be linked to the event page corresponding to the event items that are bundled with it.
** Example: [[One Shot Packs 56]] did not introduce any units that gave bonuses during an event; however, it came bundled with {{Icon_s2|Amphis Stone}} Amphis Stones for use in [[Heart of a Summoner]]. It is therefore linked off the [[Heart of a Summoner]] event page.
* Listed on the [[Card_Series|pack type]] page that they correspond to. Dream Packs should be listed on the [[Dream Packs Page]], One Shot Packs on the [[One Shot Packs Page]], etc.
* The pack pages themselves should be created. The easiest way is generally to copy the code from the previous pack of the same type (example: if creating [[Extreme Packs Season 57]], look at the code on [[Extreme Packs Season 56]], and update accordingly). Pack pages should include:
** The start and end dates the pack is available
** A list of all newly introduced / bonus units contained in the pack (unit rows and also card art)
** A list of 7{{*}} and higher rarity reprints that are included, if known (unit rows only)
** The associated event, and the event items that came bundled with the pack

=== Unit Pages ===
Every unit (and monster unit) should have their own page. The template for a unit page is as follows:

<pre><nowiki>


{{Card|UNIT_NAME}}

[[Category:Artist:ARTIST_NAME]] [[Category:Weapon:WEAPON_NAME]]
</nowiki></pre>

The template for a monster unit page is as follows:

<pre><nowiki>


{{Monster|MONSTER_NAME}}

[[Category:Artist:ARTIST_NAME]] [[Category:Weapon:WEAPON_NAME]]
</nowiki></pre>

In both cases, replace UNIT_NAME / MONSTER_NAME, ARTIST_NAME, and WEAPON_NAME as needed. Capitalization DOES make a difference when it comes to [[:Category:Artists|Artists]] and [[:Category:Weapons|Weapons]].

NOTE: The unit and monster templates pull information from the backend database. If you create a unit / monster page and it looks strange / nothing appears correctly, it means the unit hasn't been created in the database yet. That's ok! Once it has been set up in the database, the page will look normal.

==== Unit Naming Conventions ====
* If a unit has a monster version, the monster version should be named UNIT_NAME_m.
** Example: [[Cruella|Cruella's]] monster page is [[Cruella_m]].
* 10{{*}} cards have a regular form, and a level broken form. The level broken form should be named UNIT_NAME_mlb.
** Example: [[Galadriel|Galadriel's]] level broken form is Galadriel_mlb. Note that separate pages are NOT created for the level broken forms - they will appear, in tabbed format, within the main unit's page.
* If a new unit is added, and a unit of the same name already exists, the new unit should be named with the rarity at the end.
** Example: [[Lana]] already existed, so [[Lana_7]] was created when the latter was added to the game.
* If a unit of the same name already exists, that is already of the same rarity, then a descriptor should be added to the end.
** Example: 6{{*}} [[Aragon]] already existed, so [[Aragon_(Hero)]] was created when another 6{{*}} Aragon was added to the game.
* For [[Popularity Event]]s, the four maidens should all be created with both versions showing their rarities.
** Example: [[Kagura_6]] and [[Kagura_7]] were both added together in the same event.

=== Exchange Pages ===
As each new [[10★_Ticket_Exchanges|10★ Ticket Exchange]] is active, keeping it up to date with the following:
* Events / Packs that tickets of that type were gained from
* Packs that included 10★s that will be available in the exchange (basically all 10★s EXCEPT for Rank Rewards and Evos)
* Card art at the bottom for the 10★s that will be included

=== Main Page ===
The main page should be updated so that the banners on the right hand side reflect current info:
* Events in the current event cycle
* Packs in the current event cycle (generally only packs that introduce new units are listed)
* Keeping the [[Login Bonus]] and [[10★_Ticket_Exchanges|10★ Ticket Exchange]] current (only changes about once per month)

== General Updates and Maintenance ==
In addition to event-based updates, here are some other areas that could use some attention:

=== Ongoing Updates ===
==== Page Updates ====
* The [[Quests]] page needs to be updated whenever additional episodes are unlocked.
* The [[Training]] page needs to be updated whenever additional chapters are added. There are some chapters that are also currently missing Exp / BT / Luna values.
* The [[Titles]] page needs to be updated - it's been a long time since anyone has had a chance to add event-rank titles to the list.
* The old [[Login_bingo|Login Bingo]] page is badly overdue for an update. The information that's there is currently outdated (dates back to the original bingo, prior to the login roulette days).

==== Unit Updates ====
Check out the [[Missing_Stats|Missing Stats]] page to see units and monsters that are missing Max or MLB stats (or both). A lot of lower level cards in particular are missing this data.
* To update a unit, go to http://fantasicawiki.com/edit_unit.php?unit=UNIT_NAME
** To update a level-broken 10★, go to http://fantasicawiki.com/edit_unit.php?unit=UNIT_NAME_mlb
** For info on how to update a unit's Ascension info correctly, see [[Ascension#Editing_Ascension_Stats|Editing Ascension Stats]]
* To update a monster, go to http://fantasicawiki.com/edit.php?monster=MONSTER_NAME
* Retroactively updating the source for reprinted units. When a unit is first introduced, it's source is unique. Pack units, however, are reprinted frequently. For 7★ and higher rarities, it's great to be able to see which packs they were included in (for example, [[Diana_8]] has been in many packs). This can only be updated when a unit is reprinted, by going editing the unit and adding the new pack info to it's source.
** One way to check if a unit has been reprinted is to go to the unit's page, and from there click the 'What Links Here' link in the bottom left. For example, [[Marcy]] is currently listed as only having a single source, [[Extreme Packs Season 30]]. Checking her [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Marcy]] page shows that she was also included in [[Dream Packs Season 91]] and [[Dream Packs Season 97]], which should ideally be added to her source info.

==== Categorizing ====
* Units and monsters should be categorized with the relevant artist (found on the back of the card) and weapon.
** List of units / monsters [http://www.fantasicawiki.com/w/index.php?title=Category:Artist:&action=edit&redlink=1 currently missing artists]
** List of units / monsters [http://www.fantasicawiki.com/w/index.php?title=Category:Weapon:&action=edit&redlink=1 currently missing weapons]

* Additional categories that can be applied:
** [[:Category:Mounted]] - example, [[Alexander]]
** [[:Category:Winged]] - example, [[Light]]
** [[:Category:Alternate Versions]] - example, [[Diana]] and [[Diana_8]]
