The basic principle

A wiki for the entire big family of Ryzom

To ensure the correct distribution of important information to be shared, each language wiki (DE, EN, ES, FR, RU) must have the same roots of categorization, of which there are four (Ryzom Commons has its own rules, but they are similar). Namely:

Encyclopatys

This is the category associated with the encyclopedic wiki driven and managed (as much as possible in "role-playing" mode) by all players.

Wikipatys

This one is the category that gathers the maintenance tools of the wiki (templates, technical documents, archives, etc.), fed by all players having an advanced experience of Mediawiki and/or Wikipedia (bureaucrats, administrators, etc.).

Forge

This category hosts all the documentary and technical content on which the development of Ryzom is based.

Lore

This is the category that includes all the texts that reflect the background (historical, geographical, political, etc.) on which the role-playing game in Ryzom is based, texts officially transmitted (or endorsed a posteriori) by the "lorists".

An organization oriented for the casual reader

The main categories are associated with portals themselves pointed by navigation templates through Portals, and answer questions: About the game:

• What game is Ryzom?: the game universe ("'The Lore"'), and how to play it.
• What is the world I'll walk through?: the planet Atys, its fauna, flora, etc.
• Which races will I be able to embody?: Fyros, Matis, Tryker or Zoraï.
• What are the Divine (or assimilated) Powers of the planet, along with the great groups (apart from nations) which will inspire my acts?: Kamis, Karavan, Rangers, Marauders, Trytonists.

Then comes the "encyclopedia" co-managed by the players and animators:

• The Chronicles of Atys are the official texts used as references to describe the past;
• The Great Library contains all the player experiences that do not fit into one of the previous sections;
• X-Files provides information about the "backstage" of the wiki.

The following insert summarizes the various important information entry points. It is advisable to include this insert at the foot of all portals and sometimes at the top of certain key categories.

All thematic Portals of Encyclopatys (Ryzom Wiki)

Ryzom: The Lore • The Game ^OOC
Atys: Atys world • Flora • Fauna
Nations: Fyros • Matis • Tryker • Zoraï
Factions: Kami • Karavan • Marauders • Rangers • Trytonists
Encyclopedia: Atys Chronicles • The Great Library • Mysteries ^OOC

This gives the following organization for the Encyclopatys, the "heart" of the Ryzom wiki, as it contains all the disclosed knowledge of Atys.

Table of main categories

The objective is to manage the classification of all elements (except those of the "Forge"), directly or indirectly, in at least one category of the following table. It is not useful, not to say counterproductive, to define and freeze all categories that are lower level than those listed below. Players and contributors may create and manage any categories they wish, as long as they link them to those listed in this table, but they are asked to be careful not to create "root" categories. If such categories are created (no one is safe from error), they will be authoritatively integrated by the sysop where appropriate, to ensure some harmonization between the wikis of the five basic languages of Ryzom.

All missing template bricks should be written in English by default, which is our de facto Esperanto language. As this rule does not apply to the old bricks, which are already in place, it happens that two template bricks may coexist, one coded in English and one coded in the local language. The wisest thing to do is then to redirect the English brick to its local sister, since the English version is usually correctly interpreted by all five sub-wikis. Indeed, each of the other possible methods (writing a "universal", self-adapting template for each wiki or mass editing using regular expressions of the articles containing it) is either difficult or risky to implement.

Make sure the following copy of the main categories table is correct by consulting the reference table.

Wikis of the Ryzom teams

Alongside the player-enriched Encyclopatys encyclopedia, two wikis are dedicated to the Ryzom teams. These two wikis contain useful information for the players who can feed the wiki with knowledge of the history of Atys as transmitted by the Lore team and the mechanisms of the game as described by the Forge team. Because, these spaces, though controlled (via a validation process) by the members of these two teams, are not "locked".

The Lore

This category gathers the pages transmitted by the Lore Team of Ryzom, which is the guardian of the Tradition that describes the natural, social and political history of Atys.

Sub-categories bear (and must bear) identical names in all five languages.

The Wikipatys

"The Wikipatys is the dark side of the administration of this wiki ;)"

Wikipatys is the indispensable toolkit for maintaining Wiki Ryzom (templates, technical documents, archives...), used and itself maintained by players who benefit of an experience of Mediawiki and Wikipedia (Bureaucrats and Administrators).

In addition to the categories listed below, this category contains many sub-categories and technical and maintenance pages. Some are created automatically by MediaWiki ("Broken redirections", for example), others are semi-manual (such as "Hidden categories") or created by templates indicating that action is expected (case of the category "Work In Progress" which collects the pages in the process of edition by a contributor).

Portal Categorization
Portals PORTAL MANAGEMENT Each portal has a corresponding category and a link template to that portal. (See the categorization table for more information.) Exemple : the Flora portal	Category:Featured article Hidden categories that bring together the most striking or representative pages of a portal's theme to allow one of them to be displayed ( e.g. different every day of the week or month) on that portal's home page.	Example for a thematic portal: Category:Featured article/Flora‏‎ including two sub-categories grouping respectively the "monthly" and "weekly" pages, Category:Featured article/Flora/Month‎‎ et Category:Featured article/Flora/Week
		Examples for the home page: fr:Catégorie: Lumière sur/Accueil gathers the "Light on" pages intended for the illustration of the main home page of the FR Ryzom Wiki. Main Page/Featured Article illustrates the main home page of the EN Ryzom Wiki.
		Example of a single page available for any occasion: Featured article/Atys
	Category:Template:Portal Navigation banners displayed at the bottom of pages and pointing to portals. Thus the one displayed at the foot of this table and pointing to The portal of the Atys Mysteries.	No subcategory
		Examples of banners: Template:Portal Flora Template:Portal X-files
	Category:Portail:N-portail An usually hidden category grouping subcategories collecting pages referring to the N-portal portal and pages displayed by transclusion in the standard frames of the same portal.	Example of such category: Category:Portal:Chronicles/Related articles
		Examples of pages to be displayed in the standard frames: Portal Flora/Intro Portal Atys/Notes Portal Fauna/2do Portal Flora/Categories Portal Lore/Plan Portal Fyros/More about It is not necessary to create them all and their names are at the contributor's discretion.

The Mysteries (X-files) of Atys
