Flipz Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 If you have questions, ask me--I've actually delved surprisingly deep into wikis before, and what I don't know yet I know where to look up. Here's that link I mentioned--easy redlinks for a whole bunch of prominent NPCs. By the way, I've put in redirects for all of the Veterans, so if you're referring to them as Veterans you can link to their Veteran name while if you're referring to them as a person you can just link to their real name; while I'm not super concerned about spoilers, something like that could be pretty blatant (i.e. spoiler revealed by mouseover), so I just dealt with it.

Endgame Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 And here's the next slew of NPCs - some old favorites! Quote
Flipz Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Actually working on a page right now that will help you with that. Also, a note to everyone: One of the best things we can do is to create and fill out redlinks. When I'm writing articles, I tend to just put in links to things that should be linked even if the page doesn't yet exist (through either the [[basic link]] wikitext or the [[text to display here|actual link]] wikitext). Click on those and fill them out--it's one click, and even a little bit helps a lot in propagating the Wiki Magic. Another thing that helps: adding Categories to pages. I've gone ahead and defined several categories already, but this way instead of having to make lists that have to constantly be updated, we just apply a Category (such as "NPCs" or "Factions" or "Locations") and it'll auto-update the Category page for easy reference. My bad--it's [[actual link|text to display here]]. I am a little rusty, it seems. Quote
swils Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Lind, I might suggest cutting back on the number of OoC comments you make. It's been nearly one per post, or seems that way, heh. Quote
K-Nut Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 I agree with swils. It's nice that you're into it, but you don't have to explain every bit of roleplay you do. We can infer what you're doing. Quote
Flipz Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Sorry, 104, managed to lose one of the pictures I thought I had. Once I find it, we can move forward. Quote

Bricksandparts Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Could someone explain or post a link about how to create custom infoboxes? I'm particularly looking to make one for Items. Quote
swils Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 I just googled your question and found an answer in ten seconds. Quote
StickFig Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Could someone explain or post a link about how to create custom infoboxes? I'm particularly looking to make one for Items. Here's the link to infoboxes that tells you how to create them. I just googled your question and found an answer in ten seconds. And yet you didn't post the link here? ~A new quest has been posted on the Quest Board (#109 by emjajoas)!~ Wow, so many quests going up... it's great! Also, Quest #108 doesn't list a QuestMaster in the Hall topic post. Quote
Sandy Posted July 20, 2014 Author Posted July 20, 2014 I added more NPCs as well as more information about the different regions of the world in the wiki. I just knew it would come to this when the wiki would be started: hours wasted away writing lists and descriptions about everything. I've been a wiki-addict before, so I know how bad it can get... And what do you know? There's now "Star Elves" and "Sun Elves" in the world as well - the former referring to the inhabitants of Spesialia and the latter to the dark-skinned ones in the Eversummer Islands. Also, Quest #108 doesn't list a QuestMaster in the Hall topic post. Thanks for the notice! WBD is the QM. Quote
StickFig Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Thanks for the notice! WBD is the QM. I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be a surprise or something but then I saw this: ~A new quest has been posted on the Quest Board (#108 by Waterbrick Down)!~ Quote
swils Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 And yet you didn't post the link here? I can be a spiteful person, especially when it comes to being lazy. Quote
Flipz Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 You know, we should probably get that map from Quest 100 in the Library. Because reasons. Quote
Kintobor Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 You know, we should probably get that map from Quest 100 in the Library. Because reasons. I'll second the motion! Quote
K-Nut Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 You know, we should probably get that map from Quest 100 in the Library. Because reasons. I'll second the motion! As do I, hopefully along with all the info we were given about it. I'm ending up reading the first two pages of the quest before every post to decide on what way we go to the tower because of all the different troubles everywhere. Quote
Sandy Posted July 20, 2014 Author Posted July 20, 2014 I've been adding loads of stuff to the wiki (info about the Veterans, factions, quests, elements, effects, enemy types, consumables etc.), even though I should be sleeping. Thanks a lot, Flipz! Quote

Thanks a lot, Flipz! I've mostly been doing some behind-the-scenes management and looking at templates to modify for our uses. Also, Kinto, check your PM box. Quote
CMP Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 I've mostly been doing some behind-the-scenes management and looking at templates to modify for our uses. If you could draft one for Quests, that'd be great. There's a serviceable one that I used for Quest 1, but it could be a bit more refined. I spent like two hours compiling stuff for the Baltarok page and still feel like there's a lot more to go. But we've all made a ton of progress over the past, what, two days? Quote
CMP Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Nice new avatar for Atramor, CMP. Thanks. Turns out flipping the white background I use on its side helps a ton with the lighting. Had to do some serious editing to recreate the Pheles Kris but I think it turned out well. Quote
Palathadric Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) Phew! So many interesting quests up. I really want to go on a WBD quest, but then new host quest are usually very fun to go on as well and we've got two at once here. Then Endgame's finale...wow! Edited July 20, 2014 by Palathadric Quote
Emjajoas Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) As much as I'd love to say "go on my quest!!!!", with Endgame's finale around the corner and with the other quests posted being as interesting as they are, I don't really have high hopes for mine right now. Besides, although I'm really excited about QMing and I'm pretty confident about my entire setup (especially what WBD's showed my of the sets and figs so far ), I'm a little anxious about balancing and running battles-- though I'm sure my questees won't mind a screw-up or two.
