Content pages should follow a general format so we can make sure the right info is on the page. Different topics have different formats, but each format isn't set in stone. | Content pages should follow a general format so we can make sure the right info is on the page.

=== Items === | |||
The info needed about items is pretty standard. Be sure to include: | |||
* How a player gets the item: Obtaining. | |||
* What the player does with it: Usage. | |||
'''Obtaining''' should detail the source: | |||
* Crafting | |||
** Grid | |||
** Alloy | |||
** Barrel | |||
** Clayforming | |||
** Knapping | |||
** Smithing | |||
* Smelting | |||
* Mining | |||
* Adventuring | |||
Adventuring encompases ruins loot, mob drops, and blocks found in various patches in the world. | |||
'''Usage''' should detail any use the item has: | |||
* Crafting | |||
* Smelting | |||
* Tool | |||
Info that doesn't fall into one of these categories should be placed directly under the Usage heading before any other info. | |||
When an item like a chisel or hammer is used in a grid recipe it should go under the Tool category. | |||
