Haileym1 - Angelita: In recent months we were modifying the 'new releases' page to look similar to that of AQWorlds Wiki. Now we have a new page called "Recently Rare". This page will serve to place all items that became 
during the week.
Note: When I finished the week in which were these items, it will revert the page and will have no item, this page do not necessarily always have to have items.
Haileym1 - Angelita: I just wanted to announce that I updated the pages alpha test, beta test and new releases. Now the system has changed in the three pages, please read the new definitions on every page:
- Alpha Test: Releases made during the alpha test.
- Beta Test: Releases made during the beta test (although so far not finished this test).
- New Releases: All releases that came out during the week.
I also wanted to thank the whole HS wiki team for achieve do page Chronicle of Releases, is an excellent job! The page will start from the alpha test and beta test, then continue with future releases. As Peachii said, the section of helpers will be open when I finished the beta test, because now we do not need helpers, also there are not many people who can place your apply. No more to inform, I cordially dismissal.
PeachiiAE: Hi everyone. If you're not sure of what to do before editing, we have the Wiki Q&A thread for you to ask, rather than getting the moderators to revert the revisions back repeatedly if you did something wrong. You can also message one of the HSWiki moderators for help. Please refrain from touching existing page if you think you are unsure, or feel that you could be doing wrong.
Also, Helpers application will likely begin after the Beta Test phase in HeroSmash. Reason is because there's no need for helpers right now, it's just similar to normal users editing except with special privileges. If you're interested, try to help out on pages that require editing, like images, information that you can find, etc, and get your status up till guru. I'm sure there are TONS of pages requiring improvements, including rare items which you can edit according to format. Once there's more people editing we might open up the Helpers application thread.
Last but not least, we'll be trying to follow how the AQWWiki works. So all formats used should likely be the same. If you're unsure you can look at the AQWWiki and their style of creating pages. I'm sure it's not difficult to apply it here. If you've any suggestions and wanted to place here, kindly go to our wiki forum and post in one of the suggestion thread. Thanks for helping out in the HSWiki!
Nightly: Nightly here just popping in to say hi! :D You all are doing an amazing job!
PeachiiAE: We'll be using a new format for seasonal rare items from today. All items tagged with '11, '12, or any items with year tags will be merged into a single page. You should be able to see pages moving around for some time. In addition, I've recently updated the Beta Test page in collapsible format for easier browsing.
Haileym1 - Angelita: Unfortunately, I closed the page 'Beta Test' because they had added extremely perverted comments made by a user disoriented. I will reopen the page when fully updated, since I can not update the page alone. Guys, do not forget that when I finish beta test in-game recruit new helpers in HeroSmash Wiki.
Haileym1 - Angelita: Since lately we are getting new users, wanted to post this announcement to recommend some tips to improve your edits:
- First, it is essential to read the HS Wiki Rules, also the Wiki How-to/Q&A (guide to use the wiki). Recently I saw that users do not read, we must read those posts to edit it good and clear to all users using the wiki.
- I also saw that various users repeatedly editing a page, PLEASE, modify all data in a single edition to not having a history so long for the page and for the moderators can correct the errors.
Already from these announcements, I hope you can improve your edits on the wiki. Coming soon: Will post the 'helpers' and a history of all the releases that will be placed in the sidebar. Thank you very much for reading and good luck.
The wiki wishes to everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Happy Holidays!
Ashari: We've added a new category to the Head Items listing. All items marked as "Head" in-game should go in the Heads listing. The new tag for all head related items (Facial Markings, Masks, Hair, Heads, Helms, Scars) is "headitem", please only use the "head" tag if it's marked as a Head in-game.
Nightly: Nightly has returned to irritate all the other Mods here! Celebrate now! :D
Ashluv: With the new update, the rarity of an item has been added. They can be found in the item description, where it is in the color of gold/yellow. From now on, please add the rarity of the item and if not, remove them from the entry.
Hina: For shops like BOOM-ingdales and the like, where multiple NPCs are inside, don't create a "Blah's Weapon Shop", "Blah's Armor Shop", etc. Instead, just stick it all onto the shop's page as separate tables (view pages like BOOM-ingdales, TITANium Threads, etc. for examples of what I mean). The tables are connected if they're from the same NPC, disconnected otherwise.
Ashluv: Please, at all times, remember to put a comment in the box why you are editing the page so that we will know what change you made.
Ashluv: HUGE update for the Beta Phase. Please use the Beta Test page now, instead of the Alpha Test, to put new information and necessary corrections. Thanks!
Hina: Major update for Alpha Test Stage III. We no longer have Gold, so if you see "Gold" anywhere, replace it with "Fame". Few pages got renamed to reflect the changes in-game, like Battleon -> Liberty Square. Also gonna start deleting things that no longer exist in the game. I'll also mention that the shop names should be as they are in-game. (i.e. "TITANium Threads", not "Titanium Threads". Not a huge deal, but it's best to be accurate.)
mturf: Also see this post regarding powers.
mturf: Please remember we prefer screenshots WITHOUT unnecessary additional items equipped.
mturf: Now we look pretty! Logo and banner in place and lookin' good ^-^
Hina: Looks epic :D
mturf: Just a reminder, the rules here are the same as the aqw wiki, please do not edit your images. This includes removing the text on the preview window. Just crop the image suitably, the rest stays.
Ashluv: When taking screenshots for armors, please try to focus on the armor only. Unequipping unnecessary items would be good so that the image can be the armor only. (e.g. Weapons, masks, gloves, etc.) Hair items are fine to be left on, but any other equipments should be unequipped.
mturf: Removed the logo because its the ugliest thing i'v seen since i was first given a mirror. Will put up the proper one when we have it. ^-^
Hina: When taking screenshots of anything that goes on the head, please include the entire head and not just the mask/markings themselves.
Hina: Lol woops, just fixed the joining page.
Hina: Most of this wiki is still incomplete as we're changing how we do a few things. Locations can wait as they're pretty much impossible to record at the moment, image-wise. Currently, everything exists on the Alpha Test page. Feel free to add things that are missing, creating the pages, and all that jazz. As this is an alpha test, nothing is finalized. Items can be tagged with item-types (i.e. armor, axe, gun, glove, etc), parenting to index pages, etc.
The item templates have unneeded fields right now, but I left them there as placeholders. Please remove them accordingly (keep the obvious ones like description) when you create an item page, at least until they fix the preview windows.
Also, as rule 10 states, BE ACCURATE (and use templates which are at the bottom of this page). Triple check your edits before clicking the Save button. Use the Preview button often and whenever possible to check your page before submitting the edit. I don't want to see separate edits for adding changes to a page and adding your name. I also don't want to see multiple edits trying to get the code to work properly. There are templates to use, and other pages to follow if you don't know how to do something. You can also view the Page Source under "Options" to check the code of an existing page, and copy/paste any code that you think you need if you don't already know how to do it.
The following are a few examples of things you shouldn't do:
1. Creating misnamed pages. Make sure the page you create and info in it is accurately spelled (unless the typo exists in game)
2. Forcibly remove someone's lock if they are editing a page. This is rude and unneeded and will result in a warning/ban.
3. Creating pages just to get your name on the page. There's no point in creating a page and/or leaving a template there with little to no information. This includes just posting pictures, or just the template, etc. If you have little information to give, let someone else create the page. If I see this happening I will delete the page, and if need be, I will create the page myself and lock it, so any info that needs adding will need to go through an admin/mod (check site members link on the sidebar to see a list of admins/mods/members on this site). So if you're one of these people, change your habit, because you can be sure your info/name will not be on the page you contributed to if you don't.
4. Adding your name separate from your edits. If you really wanted to add your name, you would have done so in the same edit. If you "forgot" to add your name, that means you don't care enough to add your name as you edit a page. Adding your name alone is not considered an edit that contributes to the page, and your name will be removed. If you re-add your name to the page after it's removal, a warning will be sent. If the problem continues, you will be banned.
5. Do not delete old images of graphics that are no longer in game. If something has had a graphic update so it looks totally different, create tabs and keep both images. Do not delete the old image and add the new one. This is a collection of as much information as we can get, deleting old things doesn't work towards that end.
6. Don't edit any images you're adding. Cropping them to only show the item in question is the only alteration allowed. Using paint to do that is fine, but don't alter them in any way beyond that. Adding websites to the corner, altering the colors, or removing the background itself isn't allowed.
Any questions or comments can go on our forums, which is linked to on the sidebar and top menu.
Remember, it's not a competition, it's a service to help AE and the public.
