MapleWiki:Project Hair Styles: Difference between revisions

* ''rainemode911'' - took care of most of the Royal Hair/pages. Plays [[MapleGlobal|GMS]] and contributes with basic colors and Royal hair styles. Tries to get all/most Royal Hairs done, when she has the time.

First of all, you need to find out what pictures are missing. Currently, there is a brief list at [[Talk:Hair Styles]] which may guide you in finding wanted hair style pictures. This list may eventually be moved to a more appropriate place. If the list is outdated you can find wanted pictures by looking at the hair styles' individual pages. Each hair style will automatically link to all colors available, which means there will be red links to the pictures that are missing.

To take a screenshot, use the ''Print Screen'' key on your keyboard, sometimes called ''PrtScr''. The built-in screenshot function using ''Scroll Lock'' produces pictures with such a terrible quality that all {{SITENAME}} screenshots should be created by using proper screenshots (Print Screen) and pasting into a picture editing software. Please crop the picture so that nothing remains but the hair and the character - see the example on the right. Save the file as a PNG (PNG-24 if available) and make sure the background is ''transparent''.

The current articles about hair styles will not last forever as MapleStory adds new hair styles once in a while. If you find a hair style not listed on the main [[Hair Styles]] page, please consider adding it. Due to version differences it it possible the article already exists but under a different name. For example, the hair style called [[Candy Heart]] in [[MapleGlobal|GMS]] is called ''Mei Wei'' in [[MapleEurope|EMS]].

If you find a hair style that is not listed in MapleWiki yet, the first thing you should do is create the new article. Use the search box and try searching for the hair style you want to add first. There will be a sentence saying '''Create the page "<span style="color: red">New Hair</span>" on this wiki!''' if no article already exists with the name you searched for. Click the red link to create the new article. Please mind the [[Mapletip:How to Help#Version Differences|Version Differences]] before creating the article. If you know of multiple names for the hair style (such as the GMS and the EMS names), use the name appropriate to the current policy. If you only know one name, use that one, but be prepared for the article being moved to another name in the future. Mind the in-game spelling and keep the name capitalized (All Words Begin with Capitals).

Once the new article has been created it needs to be added to the main list at the [[Hair Styles]] article. The Hair Styles are listed alphabetically. If the new hair style was a female hair style called '''New Hair''' you would add it between [[Naomi]] and [[Onion]] in the list, as in the box below.

MapleStory is often updated, which requires wiki editors to always go back to older data and verify whether or not it still is correct. You can help out with this verification even if you have no money and can't contribute with pictures.

* There is of course the main article [[Hair Styles]]. If you need help with understanding how to add your version information to that page, please ask for help on its [[Talk:Hair Styles|talk page]].

* It is also possible to update the [[Hair Salon]] page, and the hair stylist pages. A temporary list of hair stylists can be found on [[User:Zanachriel#Hair Styles]], information that probably should be moved to a more appropriate page. Note that I (Zanachriel) have not paid much attention to these pages, so the '''Hair Styles Project''' does not have a defined goal with them yet. If you have suggestions, please start a [[Talk:{{PAGENAME}}|discussion]].
