Welcome to the new OOTP Wiki

Going forward, we have decided to move on from our previous online manual, and have decided to change over to a wiki-style setup. This will be easier to update, and will also allow community contributions to be able to more easily keep it up to date more reliably than in the past.

Anyone can access the manual here: wiki.ootpdevelopments.com
The current iteration should include virtually all the information from the previous online manual, and include some items updated for OOTP 25. We know the previous manual was getting out of date, and it will still be a process to update, but we hope this setup will encourage further contribution.

If you wish to help contribute, you can sign up for an account and submit edits to pages.

Why a wiki?
Wikis allow easy access and editing, rather than the tougher to maintain system we used to use for the online manual. The aim will be to keep adding pieces to the wiki over time to update with new systems.

Why is <blank> missing?
We have mostly imported in the information from the old manual, and are adding to it as we proceed. It's a full process to import, edit, update, and add new information, so we will continue to add to it over time.

How can I help?
The most useful aspect of a wiki is easy editing by anyone. You can create an account by following the link on the main page, which will open up access to editing tools, where you can submit revisions. You will need to confirm your email when signing up to have access to the editor.
All revisions need to be approved to appear for regular users. We will approve revisions periodically to ensure that the most recent changes appear for all users. If you make a change, it may take a few days to be approved and show up for everyone.

How do I navigate the wiki?
The main sections are linked on the side of the page by default. If you are on a page, you will see the main sections listed on the side as well. You can also use the search tool at the top if you want to find a specific topic.

What topics does the wiki cover?
Eventually, we aim to have it cover all the options in the game. The main purpose obviously is to explain the various pages and settings, but over time more details will be added.

Thanks for everyone for your patience in this transition to this new method. We hope that over time this will be a valuable resource as you play the game.
