Cultist Simulator Wiki talk:Community portal

Hey y'all! Punktilious here. I wrote that crappy beginner's guide that I've noticed uses bad terminology and needs updating.

I was mulling about making some edits, and I wondered if anyone else had an opinion on where details of card-verb interactions should go. I notice the "Work" page has a lot of details on the outcomes of jobs, but given that "Work" does a lot more than just, y'know, work, it seems like the details should maybe be shunted off to the pages in question (i.e. This and That should list the outcomes of This and That, rather than Work. Alternatively we could create a Jobs subcategory, so we can still have all the Jobs stuff at hand for easy comparison, but still leave Work to just list the summary of things you can do with work. (Work, Rites, Publish Papers.)

Second question: Are there templates in use on this wiki? I tried adding a sidebar to This and That (can you tell I recently legacied as a rich young thing?) and the generic wikipedia template didn't work. Looking at sidebars on the Gamepedia help wiki just mentions the sidebar to the left, rather than a standard template sidebar.

tl;dr:

1. Can we shift details of card outputs to the specific card pages?

2. How can we add sidebars?

Hi there,

I am kinda new to editing wikis but I tried to add some infos in the Lore fragments pages following the already present conventions. If anything looks wrong, do not hesitate to guide me in the right direction.

Concerning the above discussion, I think templates and individual pages would be nice additions to have a more structured and comprehensive wiki (like for Texts which could also give the result of Study). If supported, I might dig into that when I have some time/energy.

I created a basic template at https://cultistsimulator.gamepedia.com/Template:Infobox_card to have the infos of the card in info boxes. You can see it in usage at the Affliction page.

I think it would need a bit of CSS customization to make it look good (some borders and padding are quite needed IMHO). I need to locate the wiki css file.

But first, tell me what you think about the template.

Hello, I was looking in my PC file search for images from the game and found a notepad 'read me' file which went as follows: - DATA MODDING - ALPHA - UNSUPPORTED - USE AT OWN RISK - BACK UP EVERYTHING BEFORE CHANGING ANYTHING

Edit the contents of /core folders to change existing content. Add content to /more folders to create more content. Don't duplicate ids.

Updates will usually overwrite /core. Updates on some platforms might delete /more. Don't keep your source files in there.

Things you currently can't do that I might add later:

- set the priority of a recipe - this is determined by the alpha order in the folder (/core always precedes /more)

- add your own art

- add your own endings

- get remotely useful feedback on why the game has crashed because you left a curly bracket out.

- read any documentation, except that I believe #datamining on the community Discord has already created their own.

Dream furiously

AK - It looks like a note for anyone attempting modding however it also mentions that you are not able to read documentation which if I interpreted that correctly is a complete pain as books and items are gained by chance and I can't see any base images used in game when I looked so cropped screenshots are all I have. That or I'm blind and everything is there which would not surprise me.

The text also mentions a datamining discord which might be able to help. I am very new to editing wikis so if I get anything wrong don't hesitate to let me know.

New to wiki's, but noticed an edit needed
Hey, I've been putting in WAAAY too many hours in this game (i like reading everything and taking it slow, so this is a great game). I noticed "The Sevenfold Slaying of the Seven-Coiled" page had a link in the rewards that didn't go to the correct page. The lore fragment "The Alignments of Murder" links to the general lore page instead of: https://cultistsimulator.gamepedia.com/The_Alignments_of_Murder

I'm new to how the wiki's work, tried to navigate around, but can't button down where to change this link at... it did say the page was generated, in case that's a useful hint to anyone...

Edit: Aaaand 2 seconds after i found this, i found "The Songs of the Carapace Cross" reward "Liminal Evocation" goes to Knock instead of https://cultistsimulator.gamepedia.com/Liminal_Evocation
