__NOTOC__

{{Revision|Added more information.}}

Welcome to the '''{{SITENAME}}''', where information about [[Growtopia]] 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.

* '''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:''' Please be aware of any grammar, punctuation and sentence-structuring errors.
* '''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 [[Guide:Templates#Item|Template:Item]] to create it.

{{Item/ByName|Description goes here|Earth|name=Dirt}}

==='''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.

Take a look at the [[Guide:Templates|Templates Documentation]] for more information.

{{RecipeSplice|Dirt|Cave Background}}

==='''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 block, background tile, hand item, etc.), what it does (if possible) and when it was introduced into the game (if possible). If the item has no recipe template, insert the recipe here. Place the item name in bold.

 The '''Avocado''' is an unsplicable consumable which was added as part of [[Cinco De Mayo Week/2017|Cinco De Mayo Week 2017]]. One has a chance to be obtained as a common drop from smashing an [[Ultra Pinata]].

==='''4. Function'''===
This section should provide the direct function of the item and, if possible, information regarding achievements or recipes revolving around the particular item.

 When consumed on a player, it gives them the [[Mods/Envious|''Envious'']] [[Mods|mod]], which turns their skin's color into 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.

==='''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.

==='''7. Video (Optional)'''===
Add a related video or two to a page if there is one. Use the header "''Video''".
