[edit] Introduction

[edit] PotBSWiki

This wiki is fanmade. We have the support of Flying Lab Software.

[edit] Introduction

This wiki aims to contain all the information there is about Pirates of the Burning Sea in an objective manner. Articles like guides, tips, tutorials are certainly allowed to be added. All articles here are free to be edited and improved by everyone. You are credited for your edits. So when you publish your own guide here, you agree to make it accessible to edits by the public to improve it.

[edit] Templates

We work with several templates to keep articles of the same type look the same. The use of these templates are (should be) explained on the template pages.

[edit] Categories

Most templates add categories to the articles based on the information filled in in the infobox. If so this should be in the template description.

The categories are used to structure the articles in a hierarchical manner to further improve the usefulness of this wiki.

[edit] 1 article per item

The wiki is based on the "1 article per item" rule. Meaning every item ingame has his own page on this wiki. This comes down to that every article contains the information of 1 item in the game. Commodities do not contain information of their recipe and vice versa. We do link the recipe to the commodity and the other way as well. This has been discussed and decided on, we do not plan to change this rule since it'll break a few hundred articles.

[edit] Editing manual

[edit] Naming

We use the ingame names for each article. We deviate from this when there are 2 items carrying the same name (some recipes and their products). "Recipe:", "Book:",... etc is also dropped from the name (there are exceptions: "Construct Refit:", "Rebuild:", "Refit:").

[edit] Recipes

We use the (Recipe) tag in the article name when the item produced by this recipe carries the same name as the recipe.

[edit] Societies

Societies have their own namespace. When adding your society, add "Society:" in front of the article name.
