Welcome[edit]

Welcome to the Wiki and thanks for your contributions to PneumaticCraft mod! I advise you to read the Style Guide we have in order to increase the quality of your contributions. So far I have found and corrected several mistakes you have made in your edits.

  1. For each item there is a Grid image and Item image. For each block there is a Block image and Grid image. Grid image is exactly how the item or block looks in the inventory, it has to be 32x32 and with transparent background. Item image is a bigger version of Grid image applied only to items, which do not have a 3D model. For example, Bed can be placed in the world, but it's inventory version is 2D, therefore it is an item. Same goes with fluids, but not with machines. Machines have a Block image along with a Grid image. Block image is 256x256 and is usually made by special program which renders the block from all sides and applies shades. I have resized and moved some of the images you uploaded so they match the required size.
  2. Each page needs to have an Infobox, short description, at least one recipe (if there is a recipe for this block/item ofc), usage and Navbox. If the page doesn't have 1 or 2 of these, it is ok, but if only infobox is present, the page lacks the content so much that it has to be deleted as an uninformative one.
  3. In the infobox, if one or several parameters of the item or block are currently unknown, nothing has to be written in these lines. The Wiki will automatically fill some of the missing information and omit the other part.
  4. Usage is done through the function {{Usage}} which automatically links all the items or blocks which are created from this one and arranges them in the given space. Even if the item definitely has no usage, this function needs still to be used, as it will automatically update the list whenever something fits there. There may always be a modpack with a changed recipe which will require this particular thing or an undocumented addon which uses this thing.
  5. As you may have noticed, there are items and blocks from different mods which happen to have the same names. These things need to be disambiguated. Disambiguation can be done by hand, but it is a very tidious and tiring work, and it is better to ask someone who can do this automatically, or at least has an experience of disambiguating thousands of items. For example, me. Same goes with uploading textures, this has been automated by RZR0, just ask him what you need and it will appear.
  6. Finally, if you feel like you cannot write a full article on the given item at the moment, or you require something else you don't have now, there are special templates for this: {{stub}}, {{cleanup}}, {{youmay}} found in the Templates tab in the editing window. It is much easier to find these pages later and fill what is missing.

Concerning the current quality and the amount of the contributions you have done I grant you the Contributor rank here and on forums. This will give you access to page move and delete options, also your contributions will not be marked for patrolling automatically. Hope you stay active and help our Wiki a lot.
