Wiki Changes

Postby DatOneGuy » Tue Apr 26, 2011 1:41 am

Everything in this thread is about Ringofbrodgar, no one gives a shit about wikia.

I've made some changes to the wiki to make table automation and generally everything easier, to anyone editing the wiki here are some changes I've already made:

Producedby (As was intended by someone who never followed through on the template) is now a property, so it can be referenced in a table to find out what is produced using what on a page. As was it's original intention it should only state a STRUCTURE that is used to make it, Quern, buildings, etc. Not where it comes from like 'Wheat Crop', etc.

Curiosities have been better moved around, extra things added such as sorting by Size. Everything now has a full 'size' (not just curiosities). Foragable food curiosities were fixed and have a new Template (Infobox_curioforagedfood), currently only Bloated Bolete and Royal Toadstool reside within.

All redirects that are simply letters uncapitalized have been deleted.
Double redirects have been properly redirected.
Considering deleting many pages marked for deletion such as HungerperFOOD, HungerperFEP, AGIperFEP, etc.

If anything big/template-wise needs to be changed please just post it here to let me know and I'll get on it. You can also feel free to leave my a message on the wiki under the same name "DatOneGuy".

Changes I will be rolling out:
Things shouldn't be wrongly labeled, for example Shewbread dough should be a page, not JUST Shewbread. Shewbread should be listed as being made from Shewbread Dough and Oven, then Shewbread dough should be listed as being crafted from whatever items it is made from.
All items should have their EXACT names ingame.
*I need help with this one* How to unlock certain items should be necessary. I.E. Stone Mansion requires straw, metal, etc. to show up in your building menu.
Need to add more categories for things such as 'Any Bough', going to fix these up with their proper pictures.
'Any Tea Leaves' isn't really applicable unless the curios uses that term.
All http://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Special:DeadendPages Dead End Pages need to be worked into the wiki or deleted.
Combat needs to be better defined by someone suitable to give such information. Each skill needs it's own page. Perhaps a Combat: namespace is even in order, as combat has quite a bit going with it.

As always, anything that needs to be changed, ideas to fix things, let me know.
I see someone made a 'Character' template assumedly to document characters who want to be made public or prominent figures, a History: namespace or some such should be made to keep this clearly separate from any actual documentation of the game. The same for settlements.

Neater list:
  • Confirm pages have proper name and capitalization like ingame - In Progress
  • Create Categories that show up in game
  • Incorporate/Delete Dead End Pages
  • Remove pointless redirects
  • Properly label all items (doughs, corpses)
  • Properly catalog character/settlements
  • Add All combat skills/icons/terms
  • Add Information on unlocking items
  • Change templates to use transclusion to avoid things as Template:Infobox_curioforagedfood - Working on in Sandbox

Big applause for tackling such a big job!

Awesome. Does this wiki automatically redirect due to capitalization? If not I would like to argue against removing redirects strictly based on capitalization.

And what defines a pointless redirect? Could you give some examples of other pointless redirects?

Yes, you do a 'search' for a page and it will show you a list if you capitalized it wrong, the correct one being on top.

ShewBread->Shewbread
Wondrous WoodShaving OR Wondrous woodshaving ->Woundrous Woodshaving

Example of a good redirect:
Shrewbread->Shewbread

The second one existed. Man we really need to do this.
