General Help

Non-Specific General Info

• The wiki features a dark mode (named "Wily Mode") accessible in the top right of any page. However, due to it simply inverting all colors, it is recommended to turn it off when dealing with images.

Recent/Upcoming Content

This article contains content that was added in a recent version. The contents of this article may change as more information is added.

• If you encounter a page marked as upcoming content that has been officially released, either mark it as Recently Released or remove the template, depending on how recently the release was. If you're unsure whether it has been enough time, contact wiki staff.

Note: To reduce the workload of adding this template to every relevant page when a new version is released, please try to use Template:Sitenotice and Template:Anonnotice instead which show up on every page for logged in and anonymous users respectively.

Areas in need of updates

The following are areas that are very behind on being properly updated. Uploading relevant files and updating relevant information is much appreciated.

• 1.9 and 1.10 asset icons
• Backgrounds and Tilesets, and their icons
• Sprite section for the templates of most pages

For more specific locations in need of updating, see Category:Incomplete articles.

Page-specific Guidelines

Music

• Games should be listed first and foremost by order listed in the editor.
  • This can be altered if a different order makes sense for organization, but should be avoided when not needed. If you are unsure, try to discuss with wiki staff.
  • For sections that include multiple releases (such as the Game Boy games, the X or the Zero series), separate them by series order.
• Track names should link to official uploads only. Most can be linked to the official YouTube channel, but as several new and updated tracks are not there, they should instead be linked to any public uploads of the tracks on the composers' personal accounts on websites such as YouTube or SoundCloud. If no official source exists, simply do not link to anything.
