Welcome to Project Locations and Maps, a PZwiki project that aims to improve, organize, standardize, and keep up-to-date all articles relating to all in-game locations, in both Knox Country and the challenge maps.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on our discussion page. If you are a new editor and unsure of what to do, feel free to check the how to help section for tips.

Anyone is welcome to join by adding the contributor userbox to their profile from the contributors section below.

Job board

Phase one: basic infrastructure

  • Create extremely basic articles for locations that do not have articles yet
  • Add new articles to Navbox businesses template

Phase two: Knox Country and formatting

  • Elaborate on current information for all locations that need it (see section below for details)
  • Ensure accuracy of all pages, check that all locations are in or around their respective towns/regions
  • Standardize formatting for all pages and update Help:Boilerplate location accordingly (In progress by User:ThinkDock1721, see discord for discussions)
  • Add businesses to the appropriate regions category in Category:Locations
  • Create a userbox, similar to PZwiki:Project Seat Yourself Furniture.
  • Decide how to format YouTube videos, some are linked in the pages, but we don't have a standard for it, including in Help:Boilerplate location.
  • Add location overview to towns in Knox Country, decide where to put Dixie Highway and Ohio River (maybe more), these are not named locations per se, there might be more named locations as well.

Phase three: Challenge maps

  • Phase two must be completed before starting work on this phase.
  • Create noticebox that the location or feature is present in a challenge map and not the base map (TITLE UNDECIDED)
  • Expand articles for challenge maps, i.e. maps that do not use the standard game map. (Studio, Kingsmouth, House In The Woods)
  • Create navbox for challenge map locations
  • Create location articles for locations in challenge maps
  • Possibly do the same for the tutorial map?

Site maintenance

  • Rename all image files to more appropriate names (Contact User:ThinkDock1721 for details)
  • Maintain and monitor all articles for vandalism
  • Add new redirects to existing pages as needed, adjust any existing redirects as needed
  • Keep coordinates and names aligned with the Project Zomboid Map Project
  • Keep page categories aligned with existing and new categories as defined in the discord and PZWiki:Project Navigation and Categories
  • Add new categories to locations, as well as general pages, similar to Gas station for all business types (ON HOLD FOR NOW)

How you can help

Helping out the project is easy, and any help is always appreciated. Make sure to list your name in the contributors section at the bottom of this page so we can recognize you for your efforts!

Pick an article that you think needs more information, and add information as you see fit. For examples on how articles should look, feel free to use the location template or look at any completed article, such as Nails & Nuts Tool Store or Time 4 Sport.

  • Locations of buildings In addition, you can add a specific location to each business or building, above the "interior" section, but only if the location is either isolated or could use specific directions.
  • Interior What is in the interior? What items did you find? Did you find anything of value for other players?

For example: Jenny's Table

All locations/businesses are found here: Template:Navbox locations

Screenshots Any screenshots of interiors or exteriors of buildings can be taken using the official map of the game. It is also linked in the wiki sidebar. It can also be used to find coordinates of locations if they are needed. Instructions on how to get coordinates are below:
