| # Visibility is important. You may need to take the picture at a different time of day or in different weather. Keep in mind your image will be shrunk to 200 pixel width. The puzzle needs to stand out in the picture thumbnail. If necessary, color correction is allowed, or using red boxes and arrows to indicate the puzzle. | | # Visibility is important.

But also don't do it from so far away you can't see it in the thumbnail. The most important thing is that when someone looks at this one picture, they should see how to find/solve the puzzle. |

| ===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 race seeds and flower trail seeds, we now have lines to indicate this. These lines should already be accurate, but again feel free to report if they are not.
| |
|
| |
| At this time, we request that you don't make these changes yourself (the ones with lines can't be changed by wiki users anyway). Just report issues either in the talk page here or on Discord in the #wiki channel. Thanks!

| ===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.===
| |
| 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 update 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).
| |
|

| ====To update a picture==== | | ====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 (unless the previous one is a jpg, in which case upload a new png instead). After your upload you will need to force-refresh your browser's cache (ctrl-F5) to see your new picture in place. | | Click the picture to be taken to that picture's file page (KorokXXX.png where XXX is the Seed ID), and upload a new version with the same filename (unless the previous one is a jpg, in which case upload a new png instead). 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:
| |
| | |
| <nowiki><section begin=Seed</nowiki>'''XXX'''<nowiki>summary />[[File:Korok</nowiki>'''XXX'''<nowiki>.png|200px|thumb|left|</nowiki>'''''Short Summary Description (shows on map).'''''<nowiki>]]<section end=Seed</nowiki>'''XXX'''<nowiki>summary /></nowiki>'''''Long thorough Wiki explanation (shows in wiki).'''''<nowiki>{{Korok Seed|Seed</nowiki>'''XXX'''<nowiki>}}{{Clear|left}}</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| 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 the file has not yet been updated to png, make sure to change the extension (but let's try to get everything to png as soon as possible, see above.)
| |
| | |
| '''All seeds should have a pic and ''both'' types of descriptions.'''
| |
| | |
| =====Short descriptions (that show on the map) should:=====
| |
| * Give directions from the seed icon's location on the map, for example: "The seed platform for this race starts on the peak to the northwest." In general, assume the person reading the instruction is already standing exactly where the icon appears on the map, and now wants to know what to do.
| |
| * Where two seeds are close enough on the map that they may get confused with each other, offer a comparison with the nearby seed. "This one is above the nearby seed." "This one is below the nearby seed." Only do this where there might be confusion.
| |
| * Where the seed may be hard to find due to its vertical position, be sure to give directions such as "second ledge from the top" or "The small ledge with only one rock on it, near the top" or "this seed is in a cave underground, the entrance is to the east", etc.
| |
| * Be as short and concise as possible. Do not offer any tips or tricks or recommendations; this can be done in the long explanation, so just outline the basic steps to achieve the goal; let the reader figure out their own method.
| |
| * For extremely difficult seeds where a tip or trick is vital, invite the user to "Click 'Korok Seed' above for additional assistance for this seed."
| |
| * Not use wiki links. If any links are necessary, use map links.
| |
| | |
| =====Long descriptions (that show in the wiki only) should:=====
| |
| * Give directions from a nearby landmark, typically the nearest teleport location, stable, village, or settlement. You can also give directions from the previous seed on the page if you wish (when applicable). In general, assume the person reading the instruction has navigated to the wiki page first and for whatever reason does not want to open the interactive map and has no idea where the seed is. (Many seeds currently do not match this format; feel free to update them.)
| |
| * Include all the information that could potentially be necessary to get this seed. Try to proactively answer any questions that could be asked. Be thorough. Be verbose.
| |
| * Can offer tips, tricks, and solutions for difficult seeds, recommending items or techniques that might help.
| |
| * Can use wiki links if you really want to.
| |
| * In rare cases, can have additional pictures in addition to the one that shows on the map. Make sure that only the first/primary picture shows in the map popup; all others must only show on the wiki. This should only be used for seeds that are difficult to find or unlock, such as the ones in Hyrule Castle. Even so, keep the number of pictures to a minimum...mobile users are our biggest audience, and they have small screens and bandwidth.
