Hello and welcome to editing the official Barotrauma wiki! If you’d like to suggest edits to this page, please leave a comment in the page discussion or get in touch with the wiki actives directly on the official Discord – they can also offer information that might be missing here, so don’t hesitate to talk to them.

Getting started

Once you have created an account, you are able to edit almost everything on this wiki. If you decide to make huge-scale changes to existing content, other editors would appreciate a heads-up, but smaller operations are free to be carried out at will. These include things like...

  • Supplementing missing information in existing articles
  • Expanding on stub articles
  • Correcting typos
  • Creating new articles where something is missing entirely
  • Updating as new versions of the game are released.

Every correction, big or small, is a step towards a better wiki, and greatly appreciated!

As you edit the wiki, please be extra careful with a few things in particular:

  • Reliability. Is the information you’re adding correct and objective? We’ll list our preferred sources further down.
  • Language and style. Is the information you’re adding presented in a way that another Barotrauma player can be expected to understand it without trouble? Are you writing good, neat English? It’s not an academic writing contest, but please write with care.
  • Please remember to be kind and respectful. Most of the content here is provided by players – volunteers like you. If you disagree with something, please be kind in pointing it out. If you wish to change something someone else has done, please do so while respecting the work the other person has put in. Please do not war or deliberately hurt this wiki, the old wiki, or your fellow editors.
