2022 April Wiki Update:

Happy (belated) April everyone, solid and consistent work this month, give yourselves pats on the back. Progress baby! As always, we've got a lot of work to do still. Keep writing those pages and helping me hit our development goals. Speaking of our 2022 development goals, we're really beginning to see some progress towards them. This month especially we've placed a special focus on expanding those portal pages and now expanding our wiki contributor resources. Even though I'm getting fucked exams, Buckle up for a funky fresh update!

Revision Requests & Changelog

What needs to be done on the Wiki:

Keep knocking out those revision requests mis compadres!

April Change Log:

Thank you to all of our contributes I haven't specifically mentioned yet: @PopeDaveThe3th @Zydras @Charliminator  @skybluegill@Qwertytoforty @AzuleUtama @Miraviel @BrickTheHooman @roarbark @AffectedArc07

As you can clearly see, it takes A LOT of contributors to keep the wiki chugging, I encourage all of you who have may <5 edits to continue learning and contributing! I'm always here to support and guide. Those of you who do not contribute (but still read this :D ) this is the perfect time to start learning and becoming a part of our awesome team. Soon enough it will be much easier to get in contributing, just you wait (or start now >:D)

2022 Development Goals - How we can/are meeting them!

Alright lets revisit those development goals and see how they're cooking.

Finish Every Portal Page - A.K.A Wiki Navigation

So far we've been making progress. Most notably through the use of portal pages. These portal pages are the bridges between our main page and literally all knowledge on the wiki, they link together one topic and all articles pertaining to its topic. So far we have established three categories of portal pages: Contributor Portals, Game Mechanics Portals, and Department Portals. All Department, most contributor, and no game mechanics portals have actually been established. What we need to do is continue developing these and expanding them. It's pretty simple, just replicate the format of the other ones, I trust you!!! @ me if you need help or guidance.

Current State of Portal Pages

  • Job Portals 
    • General - FINISHED
    • Service - FINISHED
    • Supply  - FINISHED
    • Medical - WIP
    • Security - WIP
    • Engineering - WIP
    • Research - WIP
    • Command - WIP
    • Antagonist - WIP
    • Legal  - WIP
    • Special Role - NEEDS TO BE MADE AND ADDED TO NAVBAR
  • Contributor Portals
    • Wiki Contributor - WIP/FINISHED
    • Github Contributor - WIP/FINISHED
    • Technical Troubleshooting - WIP

    • Server Systems -
    • Mobs  - NEEDS TO BE MADE
    • Game Objects  - NEEDS TO BE MADE
    • Game Rounds  - NEEDS TO BE MADE
    • Lore  - NEEDS TO BE MADE

Development of a Manual of Style

This is a long-term project, I have made a lot more progress with it. I encourage y'all to suggest things but ultimately this falls upon me to write since it's setting the standards for our wiki writing. What you can do to help this, is start reading through them and learning how to edit articles using our standard format (it also has a couple essay-esque parts that assist with making them better for the reader).

Current State of MOS:

  • Typography - FINISHED
  • Prose  - WIP
  • Content  - FINISHED???
  • Layout  - very WIP
  • Templates  - NEEDS TO BE MADE
  • Files - WIP
  • Accessibility  - NEEDS TO BE MADE

Wiki Team Improvement

Big plans here this and next month! Here's what's done:

  • Wiki Contributor Portal
  • Partial Rewrite of Guide to Wiki Editing

Here's what we're gonna do:

  • Complete rewrite to our Guide to Wiki Editing
  • Writing of an article for the sole purpose of telling contributors where and how they can contribute
  • Looking into possible incentives for wiki contributors to encourage editing

Content Expansion

This has been an alright month for content expansion. As I said before a few pages have seen some increases in their quantity of content. You can all help out here by continuing to populate item/object/mob pages that are missing information. Additionally, rewriting or improving guides to be up-to-date and more user-friendly is always beneficial. Not my penultimate goal in May but I'd like to see contributors step in here and really take hold of an article as their own and completely bring it up to speed <3

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conclusion

if you were @'d on this post it means that you contributed meaningfully to our wiki in some aspect and I'd hope you are willing to stay around another month to keep doing so. If you want to get involved with editing the wiki and don't know how, @ me on the discord and I'll happily sit down and teach you stuff when I get the chance. I hope to continue doing this every month. Here is a syntax guide for those who are curious

As always, thanks for the hard work everyone!
