Kiwi is softer and much more of a huggable cat, meanwhile derek is an attention whore who scratches and sings to you at 3AM. No you’re not having my cats.

Hey everyone! Development of the wiki is a bit less vigorous than last month, however, our work has been less cleaning up/fixing and more expansionary. Now that most outstanding issues have been addressed, many of our contributors have begun branching out and improving on the quality of content in our articles. First and foremost, What needs to be done on the Wiki: Apparel needs to be rewritten Starters Guide to Admin Tools needs to be updated (more admin stuff) Guide to Atmospherics needs to have disposals piping included in the guide Implants could use some stylistic edits as well as adding a few missing images Supply Crates is missing a few crates, however, @Quacks is already fixing this Telecommunications UI images are a bit out of whack and need to be fixed/verified that they're correct There are missing images on the following pages: Tesla Engine (could also do with a rewrite) Singularity Engine (could also do with a rewrite) Derelict Researcher (needs to be written also) Headset There are a few images that are outdated I would like to see A guide to cleaning written at some point May Change Log: All Medical Pages have been updated and cleaned up thanks to @Woje Medical Doctor Guide to Medical Paramedic Chemist Numerous Grammatical/Phrasing/Spelling corrections thanks to @PopeDaveThe3th Jobs table template added to Maintenance drone Higher resolution images on Station goals Confusing information removed from Swarmer Guide to hydroponics has been updated in accordance with PR #15870 All genre pages have been transcluded into a collapsible section on the bottom of Songs You can now CTRL-F search ALL songs on the wiki again. Essentially this abstracts the wikicode for song genres onto different articles so the songs page is still editable and all songs are still properly categorized while still retaining the previous functionality of a central song page *breathe* Template:Materials has been created you can now create a materials list(with images) with ease RecursiveChem/Universal_Enzyme has been added to the Guide to Chemistry someone translated the beginning of the virology page to spanish and then back to english for some reason, that's been fixed the current year on Timeline now automatically increments by one every calendar year Supermatter Engine no longer gives terrible advice Optimized setup reccomendation has been added More information on gas mixes/coolants has been added Research Items now has all items added, plus materials and research levels, all with images and it's cleanely condensed into tabs thanks to @Quacks the page now looks fantastic this took a week or two and required 100+ sprites to be uploaded :O Rule clarification in High-Risk Items All references to the Asteroid have finally been culled from the wiki(except in archived pages of course) All songs have finished being alphabetized and sorted thanks to @SurfinNinja Additionally a 100 or so miscellaneous sprites have been reuploaded(or uploaded) in higher quality thanks to @Quacks Rescaling gifs no longer throws errors thanks to @AffectedArc07 Projects in the Work: Lore Project is slowly but surely inching closer to being ready to start I need to work on a few more templates and stuff Images on the wiki are slowly but surely all being updated to be 64x64 At some point I would like to see all location page images be updated so that windows are fulltile but that's more a QOL thing and not 100% necessary to do unless someone feels up to the task The looks of templates/articles/tables on the wiki may been rebranded soon I'm playing around with new color palates and template looks colors will be standardized and proper hue shifting will be implemented Guide to Editing the Wiki needs to be updated (admin stuff, I'll likely get to this in the coming month) I will hopefully be expanding this so that there are proper tutorials to learn sprite upscaling, creating proper location images, how to use wiki syntax, and more I will try and integrate(and split up) my current syntax guide in my user page for this Echoing my sentiments from my previous update, we're really starting to get past the cleanup phase, I don't doubt that more issues will get discovered down the road, but the worst offenders have already been taken care of. Now we're starting to address more over arching problems that deal with inconsistency, bad advice, and just poor informational material in article contents. I really want to start taking our wiki to the next level. I've consistently said that we're catching up with Baystation's wiki but that is no longer true anymore, we're exceeding it. As it stands, we are the most up to date wiki across the SS13 community. Baystation's wiki is still a place where I source valuable ideas and design concepts however it also serves as a warning for what not to do in terms of wiki administration, orginization, and community involvement. I want our wiki to be truly unique in terms of looks, style, and quality of content. In doing that, my intention is still that the development of our wiki continues to stay transparent as well as completely open to any community members who wishes to share their talents or knowledge. 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!

Now that Map Rotation is merged, I am coding all location pages to support Delta and Meta. I will need help uploading the images for the areas though. It could take a week or two to iron this all out. If anyone's wondering, Delta is priority right now, so focus on those images first. Then Meta. After that, since we're in the swing of updating everything we can go ahead and finish updating Box locations so they're all full-tile window images.

General sysadminnery stuff, but para is probably my primary hobby IE Webview (the thing that BYOND runs on) isn't being phased out as so many apps run on it. The IE frontend however, will be going.

rebase when

It was a nice read actually. I have no advice to give.

I dont have a problem with them but youll need to convince the rest of leadership

I really love how shiny you make the hair!!

Nothing suspicious here, keep walking.

you're right. he should've been drawn even shorter.

If performance issues are a problem, can the changes be staggered area by area to prevent the horrid lagspike it causes?

Here's what I came up with. I give you: The Pod Construction Area! As you can see, it houses 4 pods comfortably, everything for making pods has been moved to the new area, and the surrounding maint tunnels have been tweaked to allow for the new area. I actually just had an idea for a whole different design that might work even better than this. I'm going to start an alternate design and if the thread hasn't bumped by then attempt to update this post with the alternate design.

USE A TITLE LIKE THIS: "Banned by ADMINNAME: Ban appeal for [YOUR BYOND USERNAME HERE]" EXAMPLE: "Banned by Regens: Ban appeal for [insert ckey here]" IC NAME: The character name you used when you got banned CKEY: This is your username on BYOND DATE OF BAN: Date you were banned, shown in the ban message you get when entering the server ROUND ID: Also shown in the ban message. May not always be present. Looks like a number, e.g: 12345 DURATION OF BAN: Also shown in the ban message. E.g: "until appealed". ADMIN BYOND KEY: The admin who banned you. Please type '@' in front of their name, so it looks like this: @Kyet. If you don't know which admin banned you, ask one of us privately to look it up for you. REASON FOR BAN: The reason as to why you were banned. Shown when you connect to the server. DO NOT edit this, quote the exact ban reason shown when you connect. YOUR APPEAL: Explain why you think we should unban you. The best approach is generally to read the rules, then explain which rule you broke in your appeal, explaining why you won't do it again if unbanned. If you're truly convinced you never broke the rules in the first place, you could alternatively explain why - but that approach has a much lower chance of success. Try hard to identify which rule you broke. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EXAMPLE: IC NAME: Grayman Tide BYOND KEY: Greytide16236 DATE OF BAN: 7/9/13 DURATION OF BAN: This is a permanent ban ADMIN BYOND KEY: Regens REASON FOR BAN: Insulting people YOUR APPEAL: I broke rule 1, and openly insulted another player in OOC. I am sorry I lost my temper and did this, and will not do it again.
