Hello,

I would like to extend the Encyclopedia Articles, especially on the various buildings, as they are rather short and miss some information, such as the working radius of the building or additional information. However, unlike in the Wiki, there is no Button to edit the entries of the Encyclopedia. Is this possible at all and i just can't find it or has this not been implemented?

Hi ductTape and welcome to the forum face-smile.png

The encyclopdia is build automatically. Technically a widelands executable exports all data to json files. The website reads this json file and produce the pages. So the website can just show what the widelands executable writes to the json files.

That some information is missing in the encyclopedia is known, see e.g. missing upgrade building cost, but since the in game help is has grown in the past, the interest in the websites encyclopedia is more or less shrunken.

Hi kaputtnik,

thanks for the quick reply. I hadn't realized that the ingame help was that extensive. Thanks!
