Oh, editing the wiki is easy. Just create an account, click edit page on the page where you'd like to add stuff and just write.

Here's some more advice:

putting text between four equal signs is how you start a new section on the page. Like this:
==insert text here==

To add an image on a page just upload it to the wiki and add this to the page where you'd like to put it: [[File:insert_image_name_here.png|thumb|insert description here]]
Replace insert_image_name_here.png with the file's name and replace insert description here with the caption you'd like to add, if any. If you have many images to add to one article it might be better to create a gallery, which is done like this:

<gallery>
insert_image_name_here.png|insert description here.
insert_second_image_name_here.png|insert description here.
</gallery>

When I'm not sure how to format something I just check out nice looking pages, click edit and look at the text to figure out how they made them look that way. To create new pages I usually just copy and paste stuff from other pages and alter them to fit the item I'm working with.

Could you take a picture of a scarlet gown, if you have one? I always wondered what it looks like on a character.

Every little bit helps. even if you arent confident in your presentation, as MagicMan said someone will be able to make your info more presentable.

And as it currently stands, one of the biggest pieces of information missing from the wiki is in which biomes foragables and creatures spawn. quite a few moons ago I made a pretty comprehensive terrain guide, but I couldnt be bothered afterwards to collect all of the relevant data for it. http://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Terrain

Along with Terrain, information on kingdoms/realms is lacking and now with the introduction of credos they have to be added too.

As for these links:

Most of these havent been updated since I posted the list. if it's missing a picture or materials or LP data, go ahead and add it if you know it. doesnt have to be formatted, just plain text. hell, even post it in the RoB wiki it'll be added

@ Ants and Ricky ...

Thanks for the helpful replies guys ... :) ... very much appreciated. I'm off to bed now but I'll have a look at the wiki again tomorrow ... failing that I'll collect some of the info and post it in the other thread ... :P

Towercaps are on the lower levels of the mine btw in your terrain grid Ricky ... which is awesome btw. :)

If you do want to learn the finer points, ask. There's some pretty good guides on wiki editing out there, but they can sometimes be harder to find or not necessarily make sense right away.

Standards are great to uphold, but not absolutely necessary from someone as long as another can come behind and clean it up. If someone pokes me, I'm pretty good about getting on missing information, or will clean up a page a bit if I can think of what to do with it. Better to get the information on the page at a minimum.

Do agree with not just posting stupid stuff, ie stuff that is just assumption/presumption, or even just wild guesses. Everyone posting data needs to be able to back it up with screenshots or verifiable formulas. If you aren't sure, put it on the article's "Talk" page or create a thread here on the forums to discuss it. Getting assumptions and educated guesses out for others to contemplate is good, but don't treat is as factual game mechanics. Discuss and finalize, then post it to the main wiki article.
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.

:D ... Ok, I had a go, I don't know how to get the pics you use, so I just put in one of my own for now, hope it's ok.

http://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Garden_Bench

Updated some of the other furniture too if you want to check it's ok. Will do some more over the next couple of days. :)

Other stuff on the wiki that needs fixing:
Tons of information about trees is missing. The quince tree didn't even have a page until today.
-http://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Category:Home_Decor Tons of stuff in the home decor category are missing.
-http://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Pig The pig page is super outdated.
-http://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Troll Some troll types are missing.
-http://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Farming The crop values are still based on old H&H. Most crops don't have articles and the wheat page is completely empty apart from text asking for it to be updated.
