Contributor resources
Thanks for contributing! Reading the guidelines is a good place to start.
Don't worry too much about making mistakes. All changes are recorded and easily reverted.
If an image doesn't seem correct after you or someone else has uploaded a new version of it, it is most likely a caching issue. Test opening the page in an incognito window to verify that is the case. If so, you just need to clear the cache of your web browser.
Beware of caching issues. If something doesn't seem to be changing even though it seems it should, it might be due to caching. It's been known to happen to images, templates, pages, etc. Clearing your browser cache doesn't always fix it. So if you've tried a bunch of stuff and it still isn't working, just leave your change as you think it should be and let it sit for some time to allow the server to refresh its cache on its own.

To check specifically for talk pages use this link: custom talk pages
Use the browser extension dark reader to test css changes for dark mode users. Also keep in mind that settings in your web browser can also affect this (e.g. chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark).
If you find a use for any misc pictures, feel free to rename (move) them as you see fit for your purpose. Just leave a redirect behind so as not to break the misc pages.
Take a look at Proposals for more specific requests!
Check out map check to find maps that still need images uploaded. See extracted for all the images in game data.
Don't worry about confirming your email address. Email has been disabled on this wiki to put less pressure on the server.

AutoWikiBrowser[edit | edit source]
AutoWikiBrowser (AWB) is a semi-automated MediaWiki editor designed to make tedious or repetitive editing tasks quicker and easier. It is a .NET desktop application which includes a browser that follows a user-generated list of pages to modify, presenting changes to implement within each of those pages, then progressing to the next page in the list once the changes are confirmed or skipped by the user. When set to do so, it suggests some changes (typically formatting) that are generally meant to be incidental to the main change.

There are many separate resources dedicated to describing the Physics of the World of Heroes, but no matter how hard you want, it is extremely difficult to find an information source that can definitely be classified as a reference manual. This work does not claim to be original and is the result of a compilation of various official (Player's Manual) and unofficial (forums and websites) sources dedicated to describing the inner world of the game.
