The Gamer Escape templates are constructed to be as user-friendly as possible, but because of some software limitations there are sometimes some unintuitive fields.

The quest template is used for all areas or landmarks. It is not for zones or dungeons, which use the {{ARR Infobox Zone}} template.

We've placed the entire item template below and explain each line, explaining what it's for and what data you can enter for it. The template lines are located in the boxes surrounded by the dashed line with the description for it underneath.

Unless otherwise indicated, you do not need to use any wiki coding (i.e. brackets).

Setting up a new page[edit]

  1. Check the wiki to make sure a page for this location doesn't already exist. It may have a parenthetical appended to the page title.
  2. Check the image posted here to be sure if the location you are making a page for is a Zone, Area, or Landmark.
  3. Enter the name of the location (with a parenthetical, if necessary) into the "add a landmark" box above, then click the "Add" button. You can copy a sample template from here.
  4. Fill out the template on the new page according to the guidelines listed below.
