Editing This Wiki
There is a lot of data that is needed for the wiki as the mod is always changing, so any help is very welcome!
How To Contribute
First, make an account, once complete, request via the Lycanites Mobs Discord Server to be added as a moderator. A lot of trust is being put out there for this, but the wiki also has backups if anyone does go rogue.
Adding Pages
To add a page, navigate to its URL; for example, the Grue is https://wiki.lycanitesmobs.com/creatures:grue
, if the page exists, the page will load and will be editable. If it does not, you can start the page off but clicking the edit button to the right side.
Namespaces
Please use namespaces, for example in creatures:grue
the namespace is creatures
so all creature pages should be creatures:creaturename
. Subspecies should all be included on the one creature page.
Tagging
Tags should be set at the top of a creature page. See the Grue page for an example. Tags allow for other pages to list other pages automatically. For example, the creature tag displays a list of creatures on the Creatures page. Try only to include tags you've seen used on other pages. Don't make up new ones.
Creature Tags
- Always include:
creature
- The Creature's Type, ex:
elemental
- If it can be summoned:
summonable
- If it can be tamed:
tameable
- If it can be mounted:
mountable
- If it can perch on a player's shoulder:
perchable
- If it is an Elemental:
fusion
- If it is a boss:
boss
- if it has a diet, ex:
herbivore
Redirects
Once a page is added, you can setup redirects. For example the URL: https://wiki.lycanitesmobs.com/grue
(missing a namespace) redirects to: https://wiki.lycanitesmobs.com/creatures:grue
(with the namespace).
To create a redirect, go to the URL you want to redirect from (https://wiki.lycanitesmobs.com/grue
) and then start creating a new page but only set ~~
REDIRECT>namespace:page
~~
as the page content. This will make this a redirect page.
So for example, the page https://wiki.lycanitesmobs.com/grue
has ~~
REDIRECT>creatures:grue
~~
as it's only content which makes it send people from /grue to /creatures:grue.

Formatting
When adding a new page such as a creature page, please refer to example page to copy the formatting; you can even edit the existing page, copy everything and then paste it into the new page and replace the content. For creature pages, use https://wiki.lycanitesmobs.com/creatures:grue as a template.
