Don't worry, you're not in trouble haha. I logged in this morning and saw you ALL over the recent wiki activity widget. I checked it out, and you added articles to the On Kill Items category!

I'd firstly just like to thank you, mainly because barely any registered users frequently edit. (Most of them just comment.) It's also worth noting that as far as ranks go, in terms of edits, you're ranked #2.

Secondly, on the topic of categorizing items into categories like "on hit" or "on kill": I spend so much time making templates, that I forget to make the pages that REALLY teach people how to use them very comprehensive or accessible.

In the template for the Passive Item Infobox, I recently added a new parameter called "activate"

The following values for the "activate" parameter have been hard-coded into the template:


 * on hit
 * on critical
 * on crit (same as on critical)
 * on kill
 * on death
 * when at low health
 * when hit

When these values are used in the template (Which by this point should be on every passive item page, as I personally oversaw that myself.), it will automatically place the page into the corresponding category.

This is the crappy documentation page I half-assed together: Passive Item Infobox Documentation

There you can see an example of the template in-action.

The activate parameter actually does take other values besides those hard-coded into the template, but they do not automatically link to a new category as typos and other such errors or mistakes could potentially create a lot of duplicate and misspelled categories that would have to be deleted. Potentially.

Lastly, I see you speak Russian :D. No, I don't speak, but if you could help link inter-language links between the Russian Risk of Rain Wiki that would be wonderful!

Inter-language links are placed at the bottom of the page (Much like category links) and are formatted like this:



Those links would lead to the Russian Risk of Rain Wiki and would appear at the bottom of the page next to "Languages:" (And in this case, the link to the Russian page would say :"Русский")

The opposite can be done for the Russian Risk of Rain Wiki by placing this on Russian pages:



I hope I was informative and didn't bore you to death! I'm very glad to see someone else actively editing on this wiki! I hope to see you around in the comments and in the recent activity feed!

If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask me!
