Changes: E&P Wiki: Current Projects

Latest revision as of 03:21, 2 July 2019

This page is intended as a space for wiki contributors to keep track of projects that are in the works, as well as to plan future additions.

Contributor Discord

We have a Discord server to discuss current projects live. A Discord account with a verified email address is required. To join, please click here.

Stronghold 21 and New Buildings

With the addition of additional Stronghold levels and the various advanced buildings (along with the Hunter's Lodge), we have a slew of the building pages that need updated and created. They are:

Stronghold - add level 21 info
Buildings - needs update to incorporate all the new advanced buildings
Barracks - needs reference to being "only advanced building" removed
Advanced Buildings
Advanced Mine
Advanced Farm
Advanced Iron Storage
Advanced Food Storage
Advanced House
Hunter's Lodge
Titans - add info on Titan Parts

Giving Heroes a Voice

Many heroes have little stories behind them or interesting facts about them... stuff like Wilbur being unique with his -def on enemies, with +def on allies, and the only 4* hero with a Spirit Link effect, Wu Kong being so great against titans, or Mother North & Alberich being the only two that can raise the dead. It'd be great to have these kinds of notes added to their respective hero pages. Take note of the categories given to each, though. There's no need to repeat that information too deeply. It would be interesting to note each of the HotM pages with their original release month, though.

Items

We currently do not have an Items page, but rather, it redirects us to Forge. While this works, it's not ideal. A proper Items page is preferred. If you have a good way to organize things in your mind, please do so, and break that redirect!

Front Page News

The front page should be more of a relevant news portal, thus putting the most commonly used links right there on the front page and rotating them from time to time. Endeavor to change it approx. once a week. More often during events.

Article Stubs

The wiki has stubs that need to be expanded. This may include images, new information, tables, or articles. If you choose to resolve a stub, please remove the {{stub}} or {{section-stub}} tag.

Wanted Pages

When unsure of what more needs done to fill out the wiki, there's an administrative tool called Wanted Pages. When looking at this page, ignore all of the "Category" related ones - those Category links generally work already, but since they're automated, the local wiki doesn't recognize them as such.

As of today (January 10, 2019), here are some of the more critical Wanted Pages:

Shop (1/24/19)
Loot
Alliance
Story
Gems
Currency
Inventory
HP
Experience (with redirect from XP, too)
Status Ailments
Pins
Enemies
Blaze Dragon (and other varieties of titans - probably need a template for this?)
Ascension Materials
Atlantis - currently a redirect to the Atlantis Summons, should likely stand alone now that Atlantis Rising has been released
Atlantis Rising

Inline Images

In-line images are very helpful to a wiki's appearance and intelligibility. Instructions for implementing inline images can be found on the Style Guide. Uploaded inline images can be found in the Inline Image Category.

The following images have not been uploaded:

Summon Token & Epic Summon Token
Stars
Tiers
Banners
Status Effects

-==Recent Stats==
+==Contributor Discord==
+We have a Discord server to discuss current projects live. A Discord account with a verified email address is required. To join, [https://discord.gg/wMtKdbK please click here.]
-New stats are out and during the Pirates of Corellia event we got over 8500 hits on the wiki!  Great job everyone - we are ''clearly ''in demand!
+==Stronghold 21 and New Buildings==
-==Text Color FYI==
+With the addition of additional Stronghold levels and the various advanced buildings (along with the Hunter's Lodge), we have a slew of the building pages that need updated and created.  They are:
+*[[Stronghold ]] - add level 21 info
+*[[Buildings ]] - needs update to incorporate all the new advanced buildings
+*[[Barracks ]] - needs reference to being "only advanced building" removed
+*[[Advanced Buildings]]
+*[[Advanced Mine]]
+*[[Advanced Farm]]
+*[[Advanced Iron Storage]]
+*[[Advanced Food Storage]]
+*[[Advanced House]]
+*[[Hunter's Lodge]]
+*[[Titans ]] - add info on Titan Parts
-You can now add text colors to the wiki!  To do so, simply take a peek at the source code for:  {{Color|royalblue|Defense}}
-Here's [https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_hex.asp a list of the color names] that you can use in lieu of 'royalblue', should you like.
-==Hero Classes==
-Hero classes have just been released!  [[User:CheTranqui|Che]] has already created the base page ([[Hero Classes]]) and has added "Class" to the [[Template: Hero|Hero Template]], and has edited each relevant hero so that their class is shown on the page, and that a new category has been created for each class, so a lot of the background work is already done... but we need the foreground work:
-#<s>Each Class needs a page dedicated to it.</s>  (1/11/2019)
-#<s>[[Quests]] page needs updated to reference Class Quests.</s> (1/12/2019)
-#<s>[[Class Quests]] page needs created.</s>  (1/12/2019)
-#[[Class Emblems]] page needs created.  Also need a redirect from "Emblems" to Class Emblems page.
-#<s>[[Class Talents]] page needs created.</s> (1/15 - added talent grid to each class page & basic [[talents]] page)
-#Create montage images for each of the classes to go into their infobox template.
-==Ascension Materials==
-We need individual pages created for all Ascension mats.
-#Images for each of the ascension mats have been already uploaded - click on "photo" and just search.  Pick a size for the image to be in pixels, then keep that size standard for all mats that you add pages on.
-#A template has been made for Ascension Mats, which can be accessed by clicking the link "Add other templates" and typing "Ascension" into the search bar, then pressing "Insert".
-#*It's ok to leave lines blank on the template - blank lines won't show up on the page
-#Each of those individual provinces should have a note in there that references the 1st drop or bonus drop.  See [[8-7|here]] for an example.
-#Be sure to include other potential uses for the ascension mat (Adventurer's kit) as well as nicknames if they have any (for instance:  " Sometimes Referred to as:  backpack, ad kit ").
-#If there are any particular strategies, the [[Arrow Attack#Strategic Uses|"Strategic Uses" section]] of many of our Item pages looks great and should definitely be incorporated when relevant.
+==Giving Heroes a Voice==
+Many heroes have little stories behind them or interesting facts about them... stuff like Wilbur being unique with his -def on enemies, with +def on allies, and the only 4* hero with a Spirit Link effect, Wu Kong being so great against titans, or Mother North & Alberich being the only two that can raise the dead.  It'd be great to have these kinds of notes added to their respective hero pages.  Take note of the categories given to each, though.  There's no need to repeat that information too deeply.  It would be interesting to note each of the HotM pages with their original release month, though.
 ==Items==
 We currently do not have an [https://empiresandpuzzles.wikia.com/wiki/Items?redirect=no Items] page, but rather, it redirects us to [[Forge]].  While this ''works'', it's not ideal.  A proper Items page is preferred.  If you have a good way to organize things in your mind, please do so, and break that redirect!
+==Front Page News==
-#Each individual item needs its own page. - [[User:Shellshockedsquid|Shell]]: currently working on battle items. I still need to do Time Stop, Miracle Scroll, and add an image to Super Healing Potion.
+The front page should be more of a relevant news portal, thus putting the most commonly used links right there on the front page and rotating them from time to time.  Endeavor to change it approx. once a week.  More often during events.
-==Troops==
+==Article Stubs==
-We now have a [[troops]] page!  YAY!  I was dreading putting that page together!  :-p
+The wiki has [https://empiresandpuzzles.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Article_stubs stubs] that need to be expanded. This may include images, new information, tables, or articles. If you choose to resolve a stub, please remove the <code><nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{section-stub}}</nowiki></code> tag.
-Should we create an individual page for each individual troop?
-*Che:  I'm not sure how beneficial it would be for EACH troop... maybe each ''kind'', like... Crit, Mana, Attack?  Not sure if they'd each require their own page, though, or if base page information might be sufficient.
-==Patch Notes==
-The front page should be more of a relevant news portal, thus putting the most commonly used links right there on the front page and rotating them from time to time.  As such, patch notes have been put on the wiki as well and a new page was born:  [[Update 1.8]].  To support this idea, a basic page called Patch Notes is needed for where dates/links to the appropriate patch pages should go.
-*Create [[Patch Notes]] page
-*Get caught up on loading all previous patches into the wiki
-==Templates==
-We should create templates for various things:
-#Item pages (including every single item in the game, ingredients, ascension mats, etc.) - needs to include its title, description, image, where it drops first, where it gets an increased drop rate, & how it is used.  Then it needs added to each relevant existing page.
-#Hero Class pages  -  class name, skill, heroes included, links to their specific class quests, etc.
-#Province pages - not certain it's necessary here, but it might make the pages look more professional
-What other things need a template?  Include your thoughts below on where you think a template might be useful.
 ==Wanted Pages==
 When unsure of what more needs done to fill out the wiki, there's an administrative tool called [[Special:Insights/wantedpages|Wanted Pages]].  When looking at this page, ignore all of the "Category" related ones - those Category links generally work already, but since they're automated, the local wiki doesn't recognize them as such.
 As of today (January 10, 2019), here are some of the more critical Wanted Pages:
-*[[Shop]] (1/13/19) mostly done, still requires table of gem costs for battle items
+*[[Shop]] (1/24/19)
 *[[Loot]]
-*[[VIP]]
 *[[Alliance]]

 *[[Story]]
-*<s>[[Loot Ticket]]</s> (1/11/2019)

+*[[Ascension Materials]]
+*[[Atlantis]]  -  currently a redirect to the Atlantis Summons, should likely stand alone now that Atlantis Rising has been released
+*[[Atlantis Rising]]
-==In-line Icons==
+==Inline Images==
+In-line images are very helpful to a wiki's appearance and intelligibility. Instructions for implementing inline images can be found on the [[E&P Wiki Style Guide#Using In-line Images|Style Guide]].
-Many keywords throughout the wiki should have an inline image preceding it (i.e. a gem icon before the word "gem" or "gems"). As of January 16, 2019, [[User:Private1stbrass|p1b]] is creating the images.  Currently, the following is in-progress:
+Uploaded inline images can be found in the [https://empiresandpuzzles.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Inline_Images Inline Image Category].
+The following images have not been uploaded:
-*<s>Battle Items</s><i> - Work needed - Replace the old images (with the blue border) with the new ones on all articles, then delete the old images.</i>
+*Summon Token & Epic Summon Token
-*<s>Ingredients</s><i> - complete</i>
-*<s>Flasks</s><i> - complete</i>
-*Classes
-*Ascension Items
-*Currencies
-*Tokens

-::: How do we insert/use in-line icons?
-:::::: For example, you can make [[File:Minor_healing_potion_icon.png|24px|bottom]] by typing...
-:::::: <b><nowiki>[[File:Minor_healing_potion_icon.png|24px|bottom]]</nowiki></b>
-:::::: Please remember to use size 24x and bottom alignment. 1 space should be used before and after the image.  You can search for the relevant thumbnail in photos, or you can recall that the filename will always be...
-::::::* The item's full name
-::::::* Uppercase first character (all others lowercase)
-::::::* Underscores instead of spaces
-::::::* Ends in "_icon.png"
