The item page system is online! Now, the menial peon labor of populating all these pages is ahead of us trusty wiki editors. Thankfully, it's not actually all that hard at all! In fact, it's so easy I could summarize it in 7 steps. And 7 is a lucky number, after all!

How to make a new item page

Skeleton page (spooky)

Icon Note: This is the highest priority! Finishing and adding detailed information can come later; what matters the most is that every page exists in its skeleton form so that we can rewrite the Inventory page and make it fancy and cool. For starters, don't bother doing anything but this!

Setting up a basic skeleton item page is easy as π:

  1. Read the Item Attributes template documentation to understand what these fields in Template:Item Attributes mean.
    • READ THE IMPORTANT NOTES THEY ARE IMPORTANT OKAY.
      • THEY ARE SO IMPORTANT I WILL LIST THEM AGAIN RIGHT HERE
        • Booleans are either yes or no; written in lowercase. No other values are accepted, they will break things.
        • Fields marked Skippable either have default values set or belong to certain item categories, meaning they don't apply to all items.
        • If a field does not apply to the item you're editing, remove the field from the list. This is important!
        • If you're hesitant about a field, perhaps because it may apply to the item, keep it in the list, but empty.
  2. Check out the source code of an existing, finished item page like Icon Anti-Grav Scooter, Icon Lenses, Icon Alien Bottle Opener etc.
  3. Pick an unfinished page from the below list of items.
  4. Paste the Item page skeleton into the page.
  5. Fill out the Item Attributes template using the following sources of information:
    • The Inventory page
    • If available, groomsh's screenshots
    • Existing item pages
    • Mush
    • Your brain
  6.  ???
  7. Profit!

Once you've performed steps 1-2 to your heart's content, you can continue to repeat steps 3-7 for many many items. That's 30% less steps you have to take per item!!

In-depth information

Writing an item page is a lot like writing a Skill page, so a lot of information from the Skill page guidelines applies here as well.

Head rule: Look at existing examples and write similar things!

Full list of items

These are most, if not all items in Mush. Each of them will need a page of its very own! A bunch have already been created (such as the entire Gear category), others have had screenshots inserted into them for reference (courtesy of the lovely groomsh), yet others are completely empty. That's where you come in!
