This page describes how to maintain the wiki in the case of new release content, or weekly updates such as event schedules.


==Weekly maintenance==
The following needs to be done each week to keep the wiki current.

# '''Update the Main Page event schedule'''
#* Edit [[Template:Main_page_calendar]]:
#** Move the schedule for the old week to [[Event calendar historical]]
#** Add the new week's schedule, by copying an existing week and modifying the details as needed
# '''Track elite pack contents'''
#* Edit [[Elite pack tracking]]:
#** Fill in a row of the tracking table, giving the names of each elite pack in the vault this week
#** If any elite pack is new, add the list of its cards to the Elite pack card pools section

==New release==
When a game release is made containing any significant new content or changes, the wiki needs to be updated using the following steps.

# '''Update the wiki's knowledge of which releases exist'''
#* Edit [[Template:Release list]]:
#** Add version number of the new release to the end of the list
#** Increment the first number (total number of releases)
# '''Update the wiki's knowledge about the new release'''
#* Create a new release data template (e.g. [[Template:Release_data:_3.3]]) by copying an existing data template and modifying the details as needed
# '''Update sets, abilities, planeswalkers, and events'''
#* If the release contains new game content, also follow the steps in the corresponding sub-section(s) below.

===New card set===
# '''Update the wiki's knowledge of which card sets exist, and which sets are in Standard'''
#* Edit [[Template:StandardSetList]] if a card set was added to or removed from Standard
#* Edit [[Template:LegacySetList]] if a Legacy card set was added, or a card set was moved to Legacy
# '''Update the wiki's knowledge about the card set as a whole'''
#* Create a new data template for the set (e.g. [[Template:Card_set_data:_GRN]]) by copying an existing data template and modifying the details as needed
# '''Update the wiki's knowledge of each card in the new set'''
#* '''''(Server task)''''' Upload card data templates for all cards in the new set
# '''Create a wiki page for the new card set'''
#* Create a new page (e.g. [[Guilds of Ravnica]]) by copying an existing card set page and modifying the details as needed.
#* Other card set content, such as the card sets navbox ([[Template:Sets]]) and the card sets portal ([[Portal:Cards]]) will update automatically after the above changes are done.

===New card abilities===
# '''Add new icon abilities to the wiki'''
#* For each new icon ability, upload an icon image and add a row (alphabetical order) to the table at [[Abilities#Card Icon Abilities]]
# '''Add new keyword abilities to the wiki'''
#* For each new keyword ability, add a row (alphabetical order) to the table at [[Abilities#Card Icon Abilities]]

===New planeswalkers===
''(coming soon)''

===New events===
# '''Update the wiki's knowledge about the event as a whole'''
#* Create a new data template for the event (e.g. [[Template:Event data: Tour de Ravnica]]) by copying an existing data template and modifying the details as needed
# '''Update the Events navbox'''
#* Add a link to the event to [[Template:Events]] in the appropriate section
# '''Update the Events portal'''
#* Add an EventTableRow (alphabetically sorted) to [[Portal:Events]], giving the name of the new event
# '''Create a wiki page for the new event'''
#* Create a new page (e.g. [[Tour de Ravnica]]) by copying an existing event page and modifying the details as needed
