A KoL Wiki:Established Standards/Adventure Pages

Adventure pages can be broken down into Combat Adventure Pages and Non-Combat Adventure Pages. The standards are slightly different

Combat Adventure Pages

Combat adventure pages should contain the following elements in the order shown here.

• Header
• Attack Messages
• Spoils of War
• Other Information
  • Link to Location
  • Notes, See Also, References
• Category

Follow the link for information on coding and contents for each element.

Header

Begin with the following template:

{{battletop
   |image=biglime.gif
   |a=a
   |name=Sabre-toothed lime
   |text=This room is guarded by a lime ... won't get scurvy.}}

• Image is the monster's image, uploaded to the wiki with the same filename as in the Kingdom.
• A is the monster's article - are you fighting a monster or an annoying monster?
• Name is the monster's name.
• Text is the monster's description, as it appears in the Kingdom.

Our above example would yield:

Attack Messages

• Center all messages.
  • If a monster hits you or tries to hit you in a body part, use the following syntax:

{{part}}

Which yields:

<neck>

• List successful attack messages first.
  • Follow these up with the following syntax:

{{ouch|3}}

Which yields:

Argh! Ouch! Oof!

You may replace the number '3' with however many exclamations typically appear during each attack.

• • If the monster's attack deals Elemental Damage then use the following syntax (where element is equal to the element that the attack deals damage with) after the damage actions:

{{element|spooky}}

Which yields:

(spooky damage)

The element name must be in lowercase!

• If a monster misses, write that message down under the successful hit messages and make it so that it corresponds with successful version of that attack.
• Leave two blank lines between the successful hit messages and failed hit messages.

Spoils of War

• List the rewards in the order in which they appear in the Kingdom.
• Center the rewards
  • If you gain multiple copies of an item, list multiple copies of the item.
  • Link items to their wiki pages.
• Give the total substats gained from the fight, added up, instead of separating them into Muscle, Mysticality, and Moxie.
  • Use the stat template for substats.
• Leave two blank lines between the failed hit messages and the rewards.

{{meat|1|amount=160-240}}
{{acquire|image=lime.gif|item=lime|chance=50%}}
{{stat|18-21}}

Yields:

You gain 160−240 Meat.

You acquire an item: lime (50% chance)*

You gain 18-21 <substat>.

Other Information

• Add a line (Wikicode: ----) after the Spoils, then add a link back to the location where the adventure occurs, using the format "Occurs at [location]."

• Add Notes, See Also, or References sections (in that order) as needed.

Non-Combat Adventure Pages

Due to the highly variable nature of non-combat adventures, no wiki template exists for them. However, please adhere to the following guidelines:

• Header
• Content
• Other Information
• Category

Follow the link for information on coding and contents for each element.

Header

Begin with the following template:

{{adventuretop|image=biglime.gif|name=Limetastic!}}

• Image is the adventure's image, uploaded to the wiki with the same filename as in the Kingdom.
• Name is the adventure's title.

Content

• If the adventure allows for choices, include a line (Wikicode: ----) after the initial description, and then:
  • Put the text of the choice, as it appears on the button in the Kingdom, centered, in bold, below the line.
  • Include any results of that choice below, formatted as they appear in the Kingdom.
  • Include another line before the next choice.
• If the adventure does not allow for choices, copy out the rest of the text in exactly the same format as is in the Kingdom.
• If the adventure gives stats, use {{stat}} to indicate the stats gained (or lost).

You wander around for a while and sneak up on a sabre-toothed lime guarding a stockpile! You manage to steal some of its limes and sneak off sneakily. Moxious!

{{acquire|image=lime.gif|item=lime|num=2}}
{{stat|mox=gain 15}}

This example would yield the following:

Limetastic!

You wander around for a while and sneak up on a sabre-toothed lime guarding a stockpile! You manage to steal some of its limes and sneak off sneakily. Moxious!

You acquire 2 limes

You gain 15 Sarcasm.

Other Information

• Add a line (Wikicode: ----) after the Content, then add a link back to the location where the adventure occurs, using the format "Occurs at [location]".

• Add Notes, See Also, or References sections (in that order) as needed.
