+ How to copy info to a specific page

New page

{{Talkheader|Modding}}

==How to copy info to a specific page==
The migration guide shouldn't be the main docs for any features. With Stardew Valley 1.5.5 now released, we should integrate the docs into the [[Modding:Index|modding section of the wiki]] where applicable.

Here's the recommended way to copy content to another page:

<ol>
<li>Create or edit the target page.</li>
<li>
Paste the section you're copying ''exactly as-is'' into the page. This is important to maintain attribution; you can edit the layout/content in step 5.

Suggested template for a new page (replace <code><topic></code>, <code><brief description></code>, and <code><content></code> appropriately):
<pre>
← [[Modding:Index|Index]]

This page documents '''<topic>''', <brief description>.

==Copied from [[Modding:Migrate to Stardew Valley 1.5.5]]==
<content>

[[Category:Modding]]
</pre>

(If your account is new or has few edits, you may get an anti-spam error message. If so, you can [[Modding:Community#Discord|ask someone in #making-mods]] to do steps 1–4 for you.)
</li>
<li>'''In the edit summary, attribute the original contributors of the content you're copying.''' This is required by the site license.

For example:
<pre>add info from [[Modding:Migrate to Stardew Valley 1.5.5]] (main author [[User:XXX|XXX]], with formatting fixes by [[User:YYY|YYY]])</pre>

Here's a summary of contributions up to 2025-01-05 for the doc sections (excluding changes to content that no longer exists):

{| class="wikitable"
|-

And for migration-specific sections unlikely to be moved:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! editor
! sections affected
! attribution summary
|-
| [[User:AngelaRanna|AngelaRanna]]
| ''64-bit MonoGame and .NET 5''
| updated & expanded csproj migration instructions[[Special:Diff/131121/131179|1]]

| [[User:Atravita|Atravita]]
| ''64-bit MonoGame and .NET 5''
| added <samp><nowiki><LangVersion>Latest</LangVersion></nowiki></samp> to csproj migration instructions[[Special:Diff/149298|1]]
|-
| [[User:Margotbean|Margotbean]]
| ''64-bit MonoGame and .NET 5'' ''XNB impact''
| tweaked wiki syntax/formatting[[Special:Diff/128250/130215|1]]
|}
</li>
<li>Save the page.</li>
<li>Edit the page, and change the content/formatting as needed.</li>
</ol>

Once a section is moved:
# edit the migration guide;
# add <code><nowiki>{{Migration guide doc status|[[link to main docs]]|done=true}}</nowiki></code> at the top of the moved section;
# if applicable, replace the feature documentation in the guide with a shorter text about the 1.5.5 migration specifically.
