June Wiki Update

[Sirryan2002]

Hey everyone! The wiki is chugging along nicely, improvements are being made slowly but consistently which is always a good sign. It always makes me happy to see that new people are stepping up and offering their writing ability and creativity to contribute to our ever growing wiki.

Now that Shadey is back, we've been discussing what steps we want take regarding lore and the appearance of the wiki. I know I keep saying I want to get a lore project started and that date keeps getting pushed back for when we will start, we're getting closer. I have a list of lore pages that are going to need to be written/revised as well as some drafted guidelines and expectations for them. When I get the green light I will make a forum post.

Other things: I'm currently attempting to develop a dark theme skin for the wiki. This entails me redoing the CSS and HTML of the actual webpage. All that's left to do with it is some styling and then I'm gonna offer it up to the community to judge.

 

What needs to be done on the Wiki:

• Apparel needs to be rewritten @EmilitiaEnnehrt has expressed interest in giving it a try so feel free to work with them
• Starters Guide to Admin Tools needs to be updated  (more admin stuff)
• Guide to Atmospherics needs to have heat exchangers included in the guide
• Implants needs more explanatory content added to it as well as following WCAG a bit better
• Supply Crates is missing a few crates, however, @Quacks is already fixing this (feel free to add crates to their page as needed)
  • Ex: Foam Force Crate needs to be added
• Sol Traders need a character icon uploaded for them (vs having a flag)
• Secure Storage's Contents is incorrect and needs to be fixed
• EFTPOS Scanner should be added to Misc Items
• Vendors needs:
  • To be put into tables
  • For all missing vendors to be added
  • To explain what vendors are
• These Pages need to be gone over with a fine comb:
  • Janitor
  • Guide for Beginners
• These Pages need to be written: 
  • Guide to Cleaning
  • Guide to Command/Leadership
• These Pages need to be REwritten:
  • ERT
  • Special Event Roles
• There are missing images on the following pages:
  • Headsets
  • Tesla Engine (could also do with a rewrite)
  • Singularity Engine (could also do with a rewrite)
  • Derelict Researcher (needs to be written also)

This Months Contributors that I haven't recognized yet: @Aleyck@maxfromsweden@Meow19 @Pckables@Agatasa@ManOfNoAddress@LiberatedWaveMan@Iwanabeu

Projects in the Work:

• Lore Project is slowly but surely inching closer to being ready to start
• Images on the wiki are slowly but surely all being updated to be 64x64
  • Almost all of them are updated
• 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
• Guide to Editing the Wiki needs to be updated   (admin stuff, I'll likely get to this before July)
  • 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
• A dark theme for the wiki is in the works

Good work this month everyone, we're making solid progress. Our wiki team is growing and that brings me much joy, 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!
