As you can see, there are a number of things you can do based on your skills and skill level. Even if you think you don't have enough time to edit the wiki; nobody is required to donate any more time to this project than they desire. You can contribute as much or as little as you like.

Multilingual Support

Due to the fact that most Mystery Dungeon media never receives official unofficial translations, this wiki supports unofficial translation projects as well as lists of important elements such as item and monster names in Japanese to aid players. The wiki also contains various Rosetta Stone pages for various topics including items, locations, monsters, soundtracks, and more. This is intended to allow players to quickly reference names across languages while playing in a language they may be unfamiliar with. Fan-translated names are included in Rosetta Stone pages for players who choose to play unofficial translations of games that may use different names for items, monsters, locations, etc.

  • The symbol (UT) - This is an unofficial translation. indicates an unofficial translation.
  • The symbol (NT) - This name may be officially used elsewhere, but this media hasn't been officially translated. indicates that while the media in question hasn't been officially translated, the translation is officially used elsewhere.
  • The symbol (MT) indicates that while the name is official, it is used to refer to something else in this particular instance.

Contributing

The Mystery Dungeon Franchise Wiki covers everything Mystery Dungeon related, as such, it is split into different namespaces based on type of media, intended to make navigation and finding relevant information easier. While the wiki articles are written in English, various elements such as item, monster, character names and more are listed in Japanese. This is both to aid players of the videogames, as well as for documentation purposes. Contributions are always welcome! We do ask that you follow our Manual of Style. If you're unsure how to format something, consider looking for a similar page on the wiki to see how it's formatted. When in doubt, don't be afraid to ask for help if you are unfamiliar with the formatting or wiki editing as we were all new at this at some point. Or maybe you just want to read what we already have, in which case, enjoy!
