Contributing to Wavu Wiki is as simple as going ahead and doing it. Reading this page and others like it is recommended, but not required. If you think something should be added or changed, just do it.

Unless specified otherwise, Wavu Wiki defers to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Scope

Wavu Wiki is a game guide for Tekken. Its goal is to be the definitive source of knowledge for how to play the game. Anything related to Tekken's lore, art, development, or competitive scene is within scope but not the primary focus. Anything else is out of scope.

As this wiki describes the game, the main source of truth is the game itself. Any dispute over game mechanics can be resolved with video recordings from the game, supplemented by tools such as TekkenBot and TekkenOverlay.

Style

Keep it short and get to the point. A page which says something in 5 sentences is usually better than another which says it in 10. Respect the reader's time.

Videos

Pages should make liberal use videos. A single, short clip can add substantial clarity to otherwise dry text. See Snake Edge for an example. Tekken is a visual game, so most pages without visuals are missing something important.

See T7Wiki:Videos for technical details on recording videos for this wiki.

Color

Wavu Wiki has a dark mode, which depends on every use of color indicating its behavior in both light and dark mode. As such, any change to colors should be done through the color classes defined in MediaWiki:Common.css. These are currently:

Class Result
bg-green Text
bg-yellow Text
bg-red Text
hover-bg-blue-muddy-05 Text

These colors are defined with the HSLuv color space so that they have uniform lightness across different hues. As such, the "yellow" is often more of an orange.

If you want a color class added, message RogerDodger#2731 on Discord.
