Updated map: Working on the fandom wiki

[Powerthrucontrol]

The Hobo: Tough Life guide here on steam is outdated, and it's time to use a more robust system for game information. I've taken it upon myself to start collecting images and doing data entry for the creation of a full wiki. Problem is, I am complete trash at wiki, and never really bothered to learn. I'm happy to write articles and collect data if someone is williing to format. Above is my rushed first attempt at a new NPC map, but I'd like to make it interactive with Vendors, dumpsters, sleeping areas, and quest locations.

Wanna help? Check out the Wiki here. [hoborpg.fandom.com]

I used to build wikis as a hobby to help me procrastinate my undergraduate work lol. I'm glad somebody is finally putting in the effort to build one for Hobo.

Quick tip on formatting: you can source formatting templates from other fandom wikis. Edit and refine as necessary to accomodate relevant game data. If you build rudimentary stub pages, it will encourage contributors to provide more detailed content. Build a framework first - then pour content into your wiki second.

Good luck

Sounds great! I'll do as you suggest. I do want to make a template for the infoboxes, but I can't seem to figure out where to edit them for my purposes. You have any suggestions?

I'd suggest a function beside the name. Like Sister Agnes being the charity ect....

Permissions on the wiki are currently set for registered users and so I could not actually post this to the wikia. If you were to create infoboxes for characters, they might use formatting looking something like this.

{{User/characterbox
|name = Sister Agnes
|image = screencap.jpeg
|game = ''[[Hobo: Tough Life]]''
|aka = The Nun
|nationality = Czech
|gender = Female
|location = [[The Charity]]
|affiliations = [[The Charity]]<br>[[Priest]]
|vendor function = Laundry, Shower, Clothing Vendor}}
