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 with nasty pointy teeth. Look on the bright side - if it bites you, at least you 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:

<arm>

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

'''<span style="color: red;">Eek! Oof! Ugh!</span>'''

Which yields:

Eek! Oof! Ugh!

You may replace the three exclamations with others of your choice from the Kingdom.

• • 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.

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 substat template for substats.

<center>
[[image:meat.gif|Meat]] You gain 160-240 Meat.

{{Acquire|1|image=lime.gif|item=lime|num=}}
{{Acquire|2|image=lime.gif|item=lime|num=4}}

You gain 18-21 {{substat}}
</center>

Yields:

You gain 160-240 Meat.

You acquire limes

You acquire 4 limes

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.

• 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:

• Basic Information
• Content
• Other Information
• Category

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

Basic Information

• The name of the page should be the name of the adventure, as it appears at the top of the center pane in your browser.
• On the page, center the associated image at the top, and include the obligatory initial paragraph of text (un-centered) below that.

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, enter the substat name using {{muscle}}, {{mysticality}}, or {{moxie}} to automatically choose a random substat name and include a link to the relevant substat page.

Other Information

• Add a line (Wikicode: ----) after the Content, then add a link back to the location where the adventure occurs.

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