Current State & Future Aims

The wiki is currently in its early stages. The present aim is to develop the framework of a functional wiki that follows UESP (Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages) standards (https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Main_Page). This is to ensure the possibility of integrating with the larger UESP ecosystem in the future.

The current focus is to create skeleton pages that allow for the easy input of finalized gameplay information and the imputing of information that is already final and unlikely to change (such as lore/quest aspects that will parallel vanilla Morrowind).

An additional focus is ensuring the categories/organization of files and pages are in accordance with UESP standards. When formatting and writing pages, UESP is a gold-standard reference and should always be used whenever possible.

Continuing from the CARP project, the wiki continues to serve as an archive of concept art and other development details. Adding such files to the wiki (as well as properly categorizing them) is another current and future aim of the project.

Getting Started

Once a user has gained access, they will be given permissions within the wiki. For most contributors this will be the ability to edit existing content, upload files, and create new pages. As a contributor, keep in mind that others can edit your work and make changes as development progresses. Because of this, the wiki is very flexible and forgiving of mistakes. Minor mistakes such as formatting errors, typos, or placing a file in the wrong category can be easily corrected.

The current main page for Skywind contributors and team members is: https://wiki.tesrskywind.com/wiki/Main_Page Read over the basic instructions on this page for the structure the project follows. If you have any questions regarding how something should be structured, feel free to ask fellow wiki team members. If they are unable to answer they will refer you to another department that can!

The current main page for the future Skywind wiki is https://wiki.tesrskywind.com/wiki/Skywind . This is the "front page" for visitors once the project goes public. As of now all content on the wiki are private and viewable by contributors only. As this is an ongoing project in conjunction with the development of the mod itself, the content on this wiki should not be shared publicly. Anything shared as a team member should be already publicly available content, such as posts from Skywind social media.

Consult with fellow team members about the current state of the project and what short-terms goals (if any) are present. As the wiki is in its early stages, there is plenty to do and everyone will likely find something that they will enjoy!

Formatting Tips

The following are formatting texts (wiki markup or code) that will be useful for all users when categorizing and uploading media. Keep in mind these are case sensitive and must be formatted precisely or else they will not work.

• [[Category:Category Name]] —> Adds file or page to a category. Refer to the category list above for current categories. If a category is written incorrectly, it will appear as a red link to a page that doesn't exist. Spaces and dashes must be included if they appear in the target category. Remember these are case sensitive!

Common Examples:

✓ [[Category:NPCs]]

✘ [[Category:npcs]]

✓ [[Category:Concept Art]]

✘ [[Category:ConceptArt]]

✓ [[Category:Places-Azura's Coast]]

✘ [[Category:Places Azauras coast]]

• When uploading media, Skywind's wiki follows UESP standards. This is easily done by adding the following markup to the summary section on the upload file page:

{{Information | description = Type file name/description here, | source = Skywind team | date = 2026-1-10 | author = add author here }}

Dates should be in the year/month/day (as seen above) for consistency throughout the wiki. The source should remain "Skywind team" unless requested otherwise. If you found the image on a public forum such as DeviantArt, these information and/or link(s) should be included in the source. However, for most instances, the files uploaded will be shared from departments internally, and so the source should simply remain "Skywind team". If you have questions, feel free to contact your fellow team members and/or department lead. Add the artist/author of the piece in the "author" section. Here are a few filled in examples:

{{Information | description = Exquisite set 3D model, | source = Skywind team | date = 2026-2-10 | author = AntonNemo }}

{{Information | description = Zergonipal Daedric Shrine| source = Skywind team | date = 2026-2-1 | author = Mel}}

Pasting this format into the summary section will create a format similar to UESP. After providing description details, next add the following markup into the summary box to label the file with the Skywind License. This markup will create a "license" section underneath:

==Licensing== {{Skywindimage}}

Add a line of space between this markup and the last so you and other team members will be able to easily identify sections should something need to be edited. Afterward, create another line and add any categories the file should belong to. Put together, the text should look like this in the source editor:

==Summary== {{Information | description = Promotional in-game screenshot of Baladas Demnevanni's Workshop in Arvs-Drelen, posted during Skywind's development (2022). | source = Skywind team | date = 2025-10-27 | author = Skywind Team }}

==Licensing== {{Skywindimage}}

[[Category:Places-Gnisis]] [[Category:Pre release Images]]

Notice the ==Summary== in the above code. This is usually automatically added by the wiki when you type into the summary text box while uploading. If the heading does not appear automatically, this markup can be added. However, pasting ==Summary== into the summary text box usually results in two redundant headers within the source editor, requiring one to be deleted.

The following are links to visual examples of how these markups will appear publicly on the wiki:
