To make things easier for those wiki editors and file junkies out there I've compiled a list of [wikit=Main Page]wiki[/wikit] articles on [wiki]File Types[/wiki] that are in need of editing, including additions, corrections and cleanup. There are others out there but this is a good list to get started on.
If you want to work on a specific article feel free to post which one and I will edit this post to reflect that.
If you need help deciphering a file type post in this forum!
This is an important part of Mod the Galaxy so we need the wiki to be easy to use and up to date with everything we know!

To ensure the wiki is easy to read and glean information from there are some simple style rules to follow:

To ensure the wiki is easy to read and glean information from there are some simple style rules to follow:
- File type page layout. Take a look at the page for [wiki]Client Data Files (CDF)[/wiki] This is what a file type page should look like.
- Forms page layout. Each file type should have an associated forms page. The forms page list each form type you will encounter in the file and documents the meaning of each byte within each form. Essentially a reference for editing those files. A great example of this is the [wiki]Datatable File Forms (IFF)[/wiki] page.
