==Updating Korok Seeds==
==Updating Korok Seeds==
All 900 Korok Seeds have already been added, however many still need pictures and descriptions. Even if you don't want to upload pictures (it's a lot of work after all), adding instructions for seeds that don't have them is still helpful! However, first please review the following guidelines:
All 900 Korok Seeds have already been added, however many could use improved pictures and descriptions, especially to meet the updated standards below. Even if you don't want to upload pictures (it's a lot of work after all), updating instructions for seeds that could use them is still helpful! However, first please review the following guidelines:


''''Before' pictures are better than 'after' pictures.''' And to an extent, day pictures are better than night pictures, although feel free to submit any picture you have and someone else might put a better one in later. The order of preference is:
'''Picture Ranking:'''
# Day 'before' picture (with clear weather being the best, when possible)
If you want to submit a better picture, feel free, however it will need to 'rank' higher than the current picture or the picture will get reverted to the previous version. '''Upload the file as a png, over the original version.''' (If the picture does not refresh in your browser, do a forced refresh (Ctrl-F5 on most browsers) to update your browser's cache.) A few pictures are still jpg, upload as a png instead.
# Night 'before' picture
# A picture with UI in it always comes last. ''Any'' picture without UI is better than a picture with UI. Having a rune active (such as Magnesis) counts as 'UI'. Context UI such as "Pick up" or "Climb Down" or the stamina wheel is okay but a very minor ranking boost is given to pictures without it (if all else equal.)
# Day 'after' picture
# A picture taken before the puzzle is touched is better than a picture with the puzzle partially/completely solved. The closer the picture is to an untouched condition, the higher it will rank. '''Tip:''' If you accidentally begin to solve the puzzle, you can load your last autosave to revert back to a before state.
# Night 'after' picture
# Not quite as important as a before picture, but a picture that is taken at a better time of day and shows more of the surroundings is better than a dark or closely cropped picture. Don't get such a wide shot that the thumbnail of the picture becomes hard to see, however. Keep in mind most viewers are on mobile devices.
'''Bonus Points:''' You can wear and have equipped anything you like, but if you can take a picture wearing the Tunic of the Wild set from doing 120 shrines, undyed, with the Master Sword and Hylian Shield equipped, and no bow equipped, and possibly get Wolf Link or Epona (from amiibos) in the shot somehow (if applicable), it would be really cool to have that outfit worn in all of the pictures. Don't kill yourself over it, though! Even if you wear this outfit, all the other rules about pictures still apply; no UI, etc.
# If red boxes or arrows in the picture, a slight rank bonus is given. Don't over-use these, only use them when needed. Again, too much red boxes makes the thumbnail hard to read.
# If all other rankings mentioned above are equal, a picture with a bonus outfit will outrank. You can use this to help 'standardize' the pictures. See outfits below.


'''Tip:''' If you accidentally get a seed before taking the picture, you can always load your last auto save to get a before picture again (this is only for the most dedicated picture takers, though.) However, any picture is better than no picture at all, although of course once again submitting pictures is optional.
'''Bonus Outfit 1: BotW Cutscene Link (Acquire Difficulty: Medium)'''
No head piece
Champion's Tunic (undyed)
Hylian Trousers (undyed)
Master Sword, sheathed on back
No shield
No bow
When a horse is required, make it an epic horse. Epona from amiibo, a white horse, or a big horse.


'''PNG's are strongly preferred to jpegs''', but if you have to do it as a jpeg (such as when uploading directly from the game console) that's okay. Just make sure to still crop the UI (see next point).
'''Bonus Outfit 2: Traditional Link (Acquire Difficulty: Extreme)'''
All three pieces of the 120 shrine wild tunic set, undyed (do not use amiibo sets)
Hylian Shield and Master Sword, sheathed on back
No bow
When possible, have Wolf Link and/or Epona (from amiibos) in the picture somehow.


'''Don't include any on-screen UI in the picture (such as hearts, divine beast icons, or minimap).''' It's okay to include context actions like 'pick up', and a stamina wheel is okay but not preferred. Do not have any runes active when the picture is taken (coloring the whole world). Crop the picture as necessary to completely remove UI. Pictures with UI in them should be replaced by the next person able to take a screenshot without UI, regardless of picture quality. Do not replace a picture that has no UI with a picture that has UI...it will get reverted back to the picture with no UI, even if the newer picture is better in every other way.
'''Feel free to submit location corrections.''' All the seeds are mapped, but if you see a seed that doesn't match the in-game location ''exactly'', please report the seed ID so it can be corrected. For puzzles which start far away from the icon, we now have lines to indicate this. These lines should already be accurate, but again feel free to report if they are not.
 
'''Match the icon's location as close as possible to the in-game icon's location.''' If you see a seed that doesn't match the in-game location ''exactly'', please report the seed ID so it can be corrected. For puzzles which start far away from the icon, we now have lines to indicate this. These should already be accurate, but again feel free to report if they are not.


'''Only one picture per seed in the map popup.''' When the start location is some distance away, try to include both the start and end locations in the same picture (for example, stand on the seed platform and face the ring). When necessary to make things clear, outline things in red boxes or draw red arrows; avoid this when not necessary. If you're not able to get both start and end locations, focus on the start location instead and be extra descriptive in how to find it in your text description. The goal here is to use only one picture to be as helpful as possible in finding and solving the seed. Figure out what ''one'' picture would help you the most in finding and solving this seed, and make that your picture. If you absolutely have to have more than one picture, save all additional pictures for the long description on the wiki side only.

'''Do not move seeds to a different page or duplicate them on another page''' (for instance, taking a tower/region and listing all the seeds in that entire region). This breaks the code we're using to link the map with the wiki. We have already determined which pages get which seeds, based off of closest landmark. (Note that this is closest to the in-game landmark labels and not the actual physical landmark themselves (example: Hylia Bridge has lots of seeds that are mapped to Hylia Lake because those words are closer than the bridge's words are.))

'''How to add pictures and descriptions:''' Click the 'Korok Seed' link on the map to be taken to the page for the landmark the seed is assigned to (and note the seed id in the URL when you get there). Then use the following template in the 'Nearby Korok Seeds' section of the page (or compare with or copy from any other mapped seed to get an idea):

To update a picture, click the picture to be taken to that picture's file page, and upload a new version with the same filename. After your upload you will need to force-refresh your browser's cache (ctrl-F5) to see your new picture in place.
 
To update a description, simply update the description on the wiki page, making sure not to disrupt the code for the seed. Here's an example of the template that should be for every seed:


<code><nowiki><section begin=SeedXXXsummary />[[File:KorokXXX.png|200px|thumb|left|</nowiki>''Short Summary Description (shows on map).''<nowiki>]]<section end=SeedXXXsummary /></nowiki>''Long thorough Wiki explanation (shows in wiki).''<nowiki>{{Korok Seed|SeedXXX}}{{Clear|left}}</nowiki></code>
<code><nowiki><section begin=SeedXXXsummary />[[File:KorokXXX.png|200px|thumb|left|</nowiki>''Short Summary Description (shows on map).''<nowiki>]]<section end=SeedXXXsummary /></nowiki>''Long thorough Wiki explanation (shows in wiki).''<nowiki>{{Korok Seed|SeedXXX}}{{Clear|left}}</nowiki></code>


Replace XXX with the seed's id number (which you can get by clicking 'Korok Seed' or the chain icon in the tooltip on the map); you have to do this in '''all four places''' or it will not work correctly, and leading zeroes are required. If you uploaded a jpeg instead of a png make sure to change the extension (but use png's when possible, see above.)

'''All seeds should have a pic and ''both'' types of descriptions.'''

Once you put in the code and save the page, click the red KorokXXX.png link to be taken to an upload page to upload the picture, or you can use the upload page and the picture will automatically load if the filenames match. Again if you don't have a picture that's fine, someone else will upload it later, but please continue to write the code for it to make an easy link to click for the next person. Thanks!
