General

This site seeks to be as light weight and efficient as possible, so no files or images are hosted here.

To use an external image you just need to paste the URL with no extra formatting.

Game pages

Use the button on the Main Page. Pages created this way will automatically show up on the main page (though it may take up to an hour for it to update).

When making a page for a new game make the page name Game Name mods, this helps with search results.

For the boxart use the boxart off wikipedia or pcgamingwiki if possible.

All you need to edit is the Infobox data, and make the category and replaceintitle entries under ==Mods== the same as the game page name.

The mods page links will automatically get added to the game pages as long as the mods have the correct category tag.

Feel free to add a short description of the game under the infobox, as well as required mod tools or useful information about modding the game.

When using the button on the main page a preloaded template will show up when adding a new game.

Mod pages

Use the button on the game's page. Pages created this way will automatically show up on the game's page (though it may take up to an hour for it to update).

For the logo don't go above 320x320 (imgur's medium thumbnail is this size).

Upload your mod to multiple sites. As everything is hosted externally, the more mirrors the better. Some file hosters: archive.org, catbox.moe (200MB file limit), sharemods.com, multiup.io, mediafire.com (50GB limit per account), mega.nz (20GB limit per account).

If your mod is big, consider making a torrent.
