Wiki Updates

[Scarbrow]

The Cave on the Moor is completed (I already posted this on another thread)

I've splitted the Adventurer Tokens (http://sryth.wikia.com/wiki/Adventurer_Tokens) page into a Donations (http://sryth.wikia.com/wiki/Donations) page and expanded it considerably.

Since I have donated, but not much, and just very recently, I'd like a proofread and maybe a review by other donors. There's probably more to add to the Historical section, too.

[psychoadept]

Okay, I officially updated the pages for MR, SP, and NV with lists of where to get permanent or effectively permanent bonuses...

[Scarbrow]

Thanks Psychoadept. Be repped for your effort. It's hard for me to update about quests I haven't played, even if I get some knowledge of them through the forum

[Young Ned]

Nice work, psychoadept! Thanks.

[shadowblack]

The Elder Spirit items have been added to the wiki.

[Scarbrow]

I've checked and updated Bryniver (http://sryth.wikia.com/wiki/Bryniver)'s page. The prices didn't change when the shops were updated.

[Scarbrow]

I've expanded the Improved Documentation (http://sryth.wikia.com/wiki/Improved_Documentation) to signal and warn about incorrect/misleading bits on the official Sryth Docs.

It also serves to link all those concepts to the appropriate pages.

Corrections and additions welcome.

[psychoadept]

I just added a VERY rough draft of The Emblazoned Key, Part II. Copied from the forum thread and edited enough to be readable, but it'll need a lot more help to be up to wiki standards.

[psychoadept]

I added a "Best items by type" section to the Item Guide page. Seemed like the place someone looking for equipment advice would be most likely to start. It needs some cleaning up, but is mostly complete. I'll fiddle with it more as I have the chance.

[psychoadept]

I added a bare-bones summary of the new Axepath content. It'll need some grooming to be up to snuff.

[Young Ned]

New Axepath content? How come I haven't seen anything about this in the Adventurer's Lounge?

[psychoadept]

It's in the Axepath thread. :)

[Young Ned]

Yah, up there in the Replayables subforum. First place I looked after posting here. Most of the posts there are just people getting a higher-than-usual reward from completing Axepath, so I often just "Mark forum as read" without reading. Guess I need to check the content more often! :)

A bragging update from the Wiki Bugs (http://srythforum.com/showthread.php?t=1099&page=3).

Our <spoiler></spoiler> tags have always been a little problematic. Recently they've started failing, and we've been changing them to a new template.

So:

New templates: Spoiler (http://sryth.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Spoiler) - This is the simplest way to make a spoiler (as simple as {{Spoiler|Text to hide}}), and allows for considerable customization. See documentation at the template page.
Optional auxiliary templates: SpoilerBegin (http://sryth.wikia.com/wiki/Template:SpoilerBegin) and SpoilerEnd (http://sryth.wikia.com/wiki/Template:SpoilerEnd). A little more tricky (they require to start on a new line) but useful on many situations. The main advantage is they allow to enclose a table in spoiler tags, which is otherwise impossible.
I've changed (with some help from Shadowblack and Psychoadepts) what I think are all instances of the old spoilertags to the new template. You can see the changes by looking at RecentChanges with "show Bots" on (this is the bragging part, for there were 183 occurrences in my report) :D)


Although the old-style spoilertags will continue to be active (and hopefully will be fixed by Wikia staff) I heartily recommend using the new templates, for they are much more flexible and easier to track (and modify, if needed)

Happy editing!

The 6 Blood Crystals have been added to the wiki.

[Oldschool]

Not much but every little bit helps, plus it was getting a bit behind....

Anyhoo, just caught the game updates page up (I'll add appropriate links in later when time permits).

[Scarbrow]

For the brave Game Updates maintainers:

I've created a new template (http://sryth.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Game_Updates) for the yearly Game Updates (http://sryth.wikia.com/wiki/Game_Updates) pages to keep all advices in one place, and created the page for 2012.

[psychoadept]

Due to some slow days at work, I've been going a little berserk with wiki updates. The most significant have been a minor overhaul of the Trithik page, a detailed walkthrough of Lyrelock Monastery, and splitting Rhaknar's Mad walkthroughs into groups of 20.

*The Ruined City of Tarn
*AND a handy, step-by-step Stats tracker to help you check your progress

Try it today!

[Oldschool]

Nice timing, lol.

I just took an extended look at it earlier (right before I caught up the Updates page) considering all the editing you've been doing and I wondered why I couldn't see the "Under Construction" sign referred to in the talk page.

Very impressive and the bibliography type references are a nice touch. Multiple reps coming as allowed.

[psychoadept]

Thanks!

Credit to Scarbrow for starting both the use of footnotes and the Stats tables.

[Oldschool]

You're welcome and kudos to Scar as well. And footnotes - that was the word I was looking for, d':rolleyes:h...

Been one of "those" days at work, lol.

[scout1idf]

I just skimmed over it for now but from what I saw, you made new players lives a lot easier. Great work!!!

A lot of what I saw is going to be useful for my 3 alts when they get their turns to advance....

[Scarbrow]

Thanks!

You deserve much more credit, Psychoadept. Your work has been astounding. Reps and kudos your way.

[Oldschool]

Just added the new permanent Tallys items. Scar I fouled that naming creation up again on one item, but finally realized the problem. I'm so paranoid about misspelling I've been copying/pasting the name in the creation box and was "comprimising" the semicolon and spacing in doing so.

Anyhoo, I fixed it via renaming it but it's not showing on the items by id. It's the Aldvarian Ravenbone Shield (http://sryth.wikia.com/wiki/Item:12240_Aldvarian_Ravenbone_Shield).

Geez louise..... now I've gone from using forum link structuring in the wiki to using wiki link structuring in the forum. :rolleyes:

Side effect of the wiki - I'm previewing my posts more. :)

Also added a category for "Normal or Scaled Difficulty" quests and started populating it in light of the recent spate of such quests with the "Tent" ones and "Dire Saga" ones. I imagine we'll see more - at least with the Dire stuff and possibly the (I'm guessing) Gexarog series.

[Scarbrow]

Good job, Oldschool. Duly repped.

I would say "we'll still make a wiki editor out of you", but in fact you're already one. Glad to have you aboard.

[psychoadept]

I am totally pulling a GM.

"The next series of updates will be A, B, and C!" ... "Oh, here's update Q in the meantime!"

However, I have updated the Reference template with the New Window Links (http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:New_Window_Links) syntax. All {{reference}} calls (such as from Sryth Encyclopedia) will now open in a new window.
