Editing Guidelines

Important Find the bucket list at Editors: Bucket List to see work to be done.

One of the goals of this wiki was to start over from a clean slate, as such, editors should follow these guidelines to ensure everything is in order:

• No inline css (style="......") unless absolutely necessary.
• No customizing the colors of tables, to make sure everything works with any future themeing.
• Keep images to a minimum, host space is limited:
  • One set of Item Icons, following the style of World and Rise, for now (SVG Format).
  • One set of weapon and armor renders for each: the entirety of 1st and 2nd generation and Frontier, Tri, P3rd, 3U, 4U, GU, World Iceborne and Rise Sunbreak.
  • Only one render per monster unless the design changes drastically between generations (Rathalos, Diablos).
  • Only one screenshot per Location (for now), unless the design changes drastically between generations.
  • Monster Hunter Now-related pages should use World Iceborne renders and icons where possible.
  • Any other spin-off game, such as Monster Hunter Online, Monster Hunter Explore, Felyne Diary or Monstie Drop are to be worked on once the core games have been fleshed out.
• Monster Hunter Frontier content must use official names when possible and clean, direct translations otherwise, do not marry the wiki to a single translation project.

File Nomenclatures

Following the same as the old wiki, files should be named in the following way:

[Game,Generation]-[Subject] [Render, Screenshot, Icon] [Number].[Extension]

• Game or Generation: Shorthand for each game (MH1, MHFU, MHP3), or broad generations (1stGen, 2ndGen, 3rdGen).
• Subject: Monster name, weapon class, locale name.
• Render, Screenshot or Icon: Depends on the image.
• Number: Starting from 000 (or 0000 in the case of Frontier).
• Extension: File extension.
