Adding Fish
Adding a new fish[edit]
As well as adding the new fish page, there are several pages that also need updating in order for that fish to be included in the various lists that are present throughout this wiki. The fish template used facilitates a lookup mechanism whereby the data displayed in the lists is fetched from the fish page itself rather than hardcoded. This reduces data entry (only one entry to add per fish even if the fish appears in several islands), minimises maintenance and ensures the data throughout the wiki is synchronised. Thus, it is only necessary to add a standard piece of 'code' with the new fish name to each page. Blank templates of the text/code required are typically provided as a comment within each file.
NOTE: When adding information to any fish, please ensure to put all information inside of the infobox, using the "notes =" area to input miscellaneous information. As putting anything outside of the infobox will result in breaking the many tables in FW Wiki being unable to parse them correctly. This includes coded information such as templates, categories, etc.
Below is a list of all the associated pages that also need updating when a new fish has been added:

Note that any changes made to the individual tables may not be appear in the 'calling' page straight away due to any caching happening on the wikia server. They will update in due course, or if you are keen to see the updates, this can be viewed by editing the calling page and either previewing the change or saving the edit.
