New page

{{Formatting guideline}}
This article provides information about creating [[Bounty]]-Pages in this wiki. Bounties are special [[blessings]] which you can obtain on any [[resurrection shrine]] in [[Nightfall]] and that allow you to collect [[Sunspear Promotion Points]] and [[Lightbringer Promotion Points]].<br>
Please note that this is my first article of this sort ever in a wiki. I hope i follow all the guidelines and do everything correct. If i made a mistake of some kind please let me know and correct it.<br>
Feel free to add any information you feel are important to this guideline.

==General Guidelines==
* Always use the [[Template:Bounty infobox|Bounty infobox]] since it makes sure all [[Bounty]]-related pages look the same
* You should also use the [[Template:Bounty detailbox|detailbox]] to show in-game descriptions to make sure they look all the same and can be changed easily.
* Read this guide carefully to make sure all bounty pages offer the same information
* If you just know some information about a bounty that's fine. Just create a bounty page or add information to an existing one as far as possible
* If you feel any information are missing in this guide please feel free to alter the guide!

==The page layout==
This sections first shows a complete example-page and then explains every section of the page step by step. So, let's see the example page:
{|
|-
|
<pre><nowiki>


__NOTOC__{{bounty-stub}}
{{Bounty infobox 
| species = Insect
| sun_reg1 = Kourna
| sun_reg1_text = 4 (4/100)
| light_reg1 = Realm of Torment
| light_reg1_text = 2 (6/150)
}}
If you want you can add a general introduction to the bounty-page here,
but i think it won't be necessary in most cases.

==Description==

===[[Normal mode]]===
{{Bounty detailbox | sunspear | nm | 1..7 | insect }}

{{Bounty detailbox | lightbringer | nm | 2..4 | insect }}

===[[Hard mode]]===
{{Bounty detailbox | sunspear | hm | 8 | insect | 150 }}

{{Bounty detailbox | lightbringer | hm | 1..2 | insect | 100 }}

===The infobox template===
The [[Template:Bounty infobox|Bounty infobox]] is quite simple to use. All of the parameters are explained on the template-page itself, so have a look there. There's also an example and I think it's not too hard to understand. The infobox should be used in the beginning of ANY bounty-related page. It provides general information about a bounty and categorizes the page automatically. Have a look at the template-page for an explanation of the template.

===Description===
This makes use of the [[Template:Bounty detailbox|Bounty detailbox]]-template. This template creates a box that shows the in-game description of a bounty. All parameters are explained on the template page. Please note that - unlike the infobox - you should '''not''' use any line breaks between the parameters here. The parameters are:
* Does this bounty award you with ''sunspear'' or ''lightbringer'' points?
* Are you describing the bounty for ''nm'' (normal mode) or ''hm'' (hard mode)?
* How many ''points per enemy'' do you gain? Since this differs from region to region use the following format: 1..7
* What ''enemies'' do you have to slay? This for example would be: Insect. Please use the singular term here.
* Hardmode only: How many ''maximum points per boss'' do you gain with this bounty? Since this differs from region to region use the following format: 100..200
Please note that you should provide the information for normal AND hard mode using sections like in the above example.

===Locations===
The infobox shows the regions where this bounty can be obtained and this section is supposed to show all the locations in those regions and where in that region you can find this bounty. So for example:
* [[Kourna]]
** [[Turai's Procession]] | North
** [[Jahai Bluffs]] | South-West
* [[Realm of Torment]]
** [[Nightfallen Jahai]] | Center

===Notes===
Any additional information that you feel is important but doesn't fit anywhere else should be placed here.

===Categorization===
You actually don't have to worry about this since the infobox template categorizes the page just fine. You just need to add something here if you feel a category for this bounty is not provided by the template. But if you feel that way it probably would be better to add the category to the infobox template itself so that ALL bounty pages can benefit from the categorization.
