If you missed the opportunity to copy and paste, transcribing the text yourself is always appreciated, but we encourage that you double check to ensure that there are no typos in your transcription.

For some parts of the game, obtaining this link is as easy as right-clicking on the image, but in other areas like Explore obtaining the link might require you to visit the page source. You will be able to tell that you've obtained a direct link to the image if the link ends in .png. We understand that this recommendation is not always achievable, so if a link is not possible we encourage you copy and paste the image directly or just provide a clear screenshot along with a user log entry if applicable. | |||

With how much information we receive, we have some suggestions and guidelines to make your contribution as effective as possible. We ask that you keep in mind that your contribution may not be able to be added to the wiki if sufficient information is not provided.
Evidence
Evidence
When gathering information about any aspect of the game, evidence is the most important resource we can have! While we'd love to trust everyone's word on what they've encountered in-game, we recognize that situations are sometimes misinterpreted, misread, or misrepresented. Due to this, some form of evidence is required in most cases when submitting a contribution to the wiki.
Evidence should ideally come in the form of a screenshot of the event occurring, such as a screenshot of an explore encounter, story segment, or battle. If a screenshot is not possible, copy and pasted user log entries are also very appreciated.
Details

When in doubt, include as many details as you can. We want to hear about exactly how you obtained the information you're contributing-don't be shy about sharing details which might be irrelevant! For explore or battle encounters, this could include the time of day, weather, or season, the biome you were exploring in, or your wolf's level. If you're not sure about exactly what to share, we've provided some recommendations for common contributions below.
Explore Encounters
- Time of day, season, and weather on Wolvden
- Biome you were exploring in
- All text and options you saw in the encounter
- Typos as they exist in the game
- A link to the encounter's image if applicable and possible
- A screenshot of the encounter
