Welcome to the '''Growtopia Wikia''' where information about about the game can be found! However for this to happen, there must be articles filled with the necessary information - this is where editors come in!
==Expectation==
We hope to provide a good and clean layout for the reader to read, so we hope that articles match the following expectation.


=='''General Article Expectation'''==
*'''Sufficiency:''' The article should have sufficient information. Add the required information if you know about it.
We hope to provide a good and clean layout for reader to read, so we hope the articles match the following expectation.
*'''Relevance:''' The article should contain relevant information. Do not add useless or unrelated information.
*'''Neatness:''' Information should not be scattered around the page. It should be easy to read.
*'''Language and Formatting:''' Please be aware of any grammar, punctuation and sentence-structuring errors.
**All articles in the Growtopia Wiki are to be written in English. Editors are allowed to use either British or American spelling, but should be consistent and use only either one within one article.
**Date formatting can either be written as "{{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}," or "{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}." However, it is required for the month's name to be spelled out entirely.
*'''Neutral Point of View:''' Avoid adding your own opinion. Be neutral and add objective information. Avoid second-person language (words such as "you" and "your").


==='''Sufficiency'''===
==Standard Page Layout==
Sufficiency refers to how large the information of the subject or topic is. In order to properly provide the readers with information, there should be sufficient information so that the readers would be able to understand the said subject or topic.
We hope to keep each page looks uniform, so we have a fixed layout for each item page.


If a page lacks sufficient information, it is classified as a stub. If you come across an article that you think is a stub, you have the responsibility to add the required information. If you do not have the knowledge of the information, you may add the template '''<nowiki>{</nowiki>{stub}}''' on the page.
===1. Item Infobox===
At the beginning of a page, an Item Template is needed. Use [[Guide:Templates#Item|Template:Item]] to create it.


==='''Relevance'''===
{{Item/ByName|Description goes here|Earth|name=Avocado}}
Relevance refers to the importance of the stated information in the articles. An article should contain information that is relevant to the subject or topic. Information that are useless or are not related to the subject or topic should be removed.


==='''Neatness'''===
===2. Recipe Infobox===
Neatness refers to how clean the article is written. The written information should not be scattered around the page. It should be user-friendly and easy to read.
Followed by the Item infobox, a recipe template is needed. Please put it right below the Item infobox template. If there is no template for the item, write about the recipe in the Overview section instead, or use the [[Template:RecipeCustom|RecipeCustom]] template (preferred).


==='''Language'''===
Take a look at the [[Guide:Templates|Templates Documentation]] for more information.
Language refers to how accurate the article is in terms of English. It should contain minimal amounts of grammar, punctuation and sentence-structuring errors. This is not punishable but it is highly recommended that you practice it.


Language also refers to the words used. It should not contain any inappropriate words. This, unlike the first point, is punishable. Any user who attempts to pollute the articles with vulgarities will be dealt with accordingly.
{{RecipeUltra}}


Though the readers and editors of Growtopia Wiki may speak many varieties of English, standard American English spelling, grammar, punctuation, and word usage is mandated here. However if any items use British words in its words and name, the British one is the one to be preserved.
===3. Overview===
An overview should provide basic information about the item. Do not add headers for this section.


==='''Neutral Point of View'''===
This section should usually contain the item name, a short description of the item (such as whether it is a foreground block, consumable, hand item, etc.), and when it was introduced into the game (if possible). If the item has no recipe template, insert the recipe here. Place the item's name in bold.
See [[Growtopia Wiki:Neutral Point of View|this]] page for more information.


=='''Page Layout'''==
The '''Avocado''' is an unsplicable consumable which was added as part of [[Cinco De Mayo Week/2017|Cinco De Mayo Week 2017]] on May 5, 2017.
We hope to keep each page looks uniform, so we have a fixed layout for each item page.
 
===4. Function===
This section should provide the direct function and [[mods|mod]] of the item and, if possible, information regarding achievements or recipes revolving around the particular item.


The following pages may help you when adding content.
{{Added|It ain't easy being you.}}
{{Removed|Healthy color restored.}} When consumed on a player, the Avocado gives the [[Mods/Envious|''Envious'']] [[Mods|mod]], which turns the player's skin's color green.

==='''1. Item Infobox'''===
Put trivial things in this section, such as extra information.
At the beginning of a page, a Item Template is needed.
Add <nowiki>{</nowiki>{Item| [Item Name] | [Chi] | [Description] }} to the start of the page.
If you don't know what to put, just type <nowiki>{</nowiki>{Item}} will be ok

==='''5. Gallery (Optional)'''===
Remember to always use bullets! The header for this section should be named "''Trivia''" too.
If you have pictures of the item itself (not description!), you can display them in a gallery like this:


<nowiki><</nowiki>gallery>
===6. Gallery (Optional)===
If you have any images of the item, you can add a gallery section. Avoid images of item descriptions and items in inventory. If a username is included in the image, make sure to crop it out. If any player is in an image and does not need to be there, make sure to remove it.


MyImage.jpg|Caption Under the Image
Captions are the lines of text found under individual gallery images. While they are optional, their main purpose is to summarise and describe the contents of the image. Captions are typically written in sentence fragments rather than complete sentences, and therefore should not end with a period. If a complete sentence is written in a caption, all sentences including sentence fragments in that caption should end with a period.
* '''The textures of Dirt during WinterFest''' (sentence fragment; does not end with a period)
* '''The inventory icon of Dirt also changes during WinterFest.''' (complete sentence; ends with a period)
* '''The textures of Dirt during WinterFest. The inventory icon of Dirt also changes during WinterFest.''' (mixed; while the first sentence is a sentence fragment, the second one is a complete sentence and therefore both sentences should end with a period)

Summary: Fixed outdated information.

Welcome to the Growtopia, where information about Growtopia can be found. For this to happen, however, there must be articles filled with the necessary information - this is where editors come in.

Expectation

We hope to provide a good and clean layout for the reader to read, so we hope that articles match the following expectation.

  • Sufficiency: The article should have sufficient information. Add the required information if you know about it.
  • Relevance: The article should contain relevant information. Do not add useless or unrelated information.
  • Neatness: Information should not be scattered around the page. It should be easy to read.
  • Language and Formatting: Please be aware of any grammar, punctuation and sentence-structuring errors.
    • All articles in the Growtopia Wiki are to be written in English. Editors are allowed to use either British or American spelling, but should be consistent and use only either one within one article.
    • Date formatting can either be written as "26 December 2025," or "December 26, 2025." However, it is required for the month's name to be spelled out entirely.
  • Neutral Point of View: Avoid adding your own opinion. Be neutral and add objective information. Avoid second-person language (words such as "you" and "your").

Standard Page Layout

We hope to keep each page looks uniform, so we have a fixed layout for each item page.

1. Item Infobox

At the beginning of a page, an Item Template is needed. Use Template:Item to create it.

2. Recipe Infobox

Followed by the Item infobox, a recipe template is needed. Please put it right below the Item infobox template. If there is no template for the item, write about the recipe in the Overview section instead, or use the RecipeCustom template (preferred).

Take a look at the Templates Documentation for more information.

Pinata Bash
Participate in successfully smashing an Ultra Pinata during the Pinata Bash! event.
May give 1 item each time.


3. Overview

An overview should provide basic information about the item. Do not add headers for this section.

This section should usually contain the item name, a short description of the item (such as whether it is a foreground block, consumable, hand item, etc.), and when it was introduced into the game (if possible). If the item has no recipe template, insert the recipe here. Place the item's name in bold.

The Avocado is an unsplicable consumable which was added as part of Cinco De Mayo Week 2017 on May 5, 2017.

4. Function

This section should provide the direct function and mod of the item and, if possible, information regarding achievements or recipes revolving around the particular item.

File:CheckboxEnabled.png   It ain't easy being you.
File:Checkbox0.png   Healthy color restored.
When consumed on a player, the Avocado gives the Envious mod, which turns the player's skin's color green.

5. Trivia (Optional)

Put trivial things in this section, such as extra information.

Remember to always use bullets! The header for this section should be named "Trivia" too.

If you have any images of the item, you can add a gallery section. Avoid images of item descriptions and items in inventory. If a username is included in the image, make sure to crop it out. If any player is in an image and does not need to be there, make sure to remove it.

Captions are the lines of text found under individual gallery images. While they are optional, their main purpose is to summarise and describe the contents of the image. Captions are typically written in sentence fragments rather than complete sentences, and therefore should not end with a period. If a complete sentence is written in a caption, all sentences including sentence fragments in that caption should end with a period.

  • The textures of Dirt during WinterFest (sentence fragment; does not end with a period)
  • The inventory icon of Dirt also changes during WinterFest. (complete sentence; ends with a period)
  • The textures of Dirt during WinterFest. The inventory icon of Dirt also changes during WinterFest. (mixed; while the first sentence is a sentence fragment, the second one is a complete sentence and therefore both sentences should end with a period)

7. Video (Optional)

Add a related video or two to a page if there is one. Use the header "Video".
