Since it can be hard to spot new pages when there's a flood of edits, this thread is for mentioning new ones that you'd like other editors to review for content and possibly for appropriate screenshots if needed.
Two of my recent ones are:
Unique variant
Guild
It's not exactly a new page for review, but I am looking for input into what folks think would be good to have on the Main Page - for both new players & easy reference for current players. Discussion can be found on the talk page here. I'll also check and see if the SK artists want any visual input into the "new" Main Page, but I'd definitely like to get player input for the actual link content.
While I'm at it, I will also ask for input into what you'd want in the sidebar. Discussion's here.
It's not entirely new, but for the swords, handguns, bombs, armor, helmets, and shields pages I have switched to a template that uses stats images for all of them (instead of the numbers which hadn't been updated for a while or were missing for most items) and added the series info for the ones that I know of. The series name is based on the lowest level piece of equipment for the alchemy upgrading path. Items not used to upgrade to better items do not have a series listed.
I created a Needs updating template so that we can tag all incorrectly uploaded/outdated images. My goal for this is to make it easier to track down and edit outdated/incorrectly uploaded images.
What constitutes an "incorrectly uploaded" image is an image that does not follow the style guidelines. It could also include incorrectly cropped images (in that case, I usually just crop the existing image and re-upload it). The one question I have though, is the bombs. I prefer seeing the bombs in the character window, but I've seen images of bombs shown when they're charged (so you can see the front). Which one of these do we prefer?
Oooo that's better than the little template I made the other week, much more inclusive. I'll switch the tag on some fuzzy images to use yours. I did a minor rewording of the category.
For bomb images, I think we should stick with the character window ones for consistency.
Not done yet, but I've put an initial table up for the list of sets to help with uploading images of sets:
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/List_of_sets
I'll probably make the font smaller again. The bonus info hasn't been filled in yet.
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Gate_construction Please keep an eye out for making sure the wording is clear in regards to stratum numbering which is lower for "higher" levels and higher for "deeper/lower" levels.
I'll update the "gates" page tomorrow in conjunction with this.
Arsenal
Bare skeleton - most of it is self-explanatory when you first look at your arsenal in-game.
Separate sections for each individual category (a section for bombs, a section for materials)? Yay or nay?
To-do:
Mention shortcut key to arsenal
Excellent, thanks! The list looks a little busy since it's so dense. I think a separate section for each with {{main|Bombs}} at the beginning of each. I'll upload the various icons for all of them too. (including the button for getting to the Arsenal if I haven't already done so.
Thinking of what new players would need, a screenshot of the menu you get for the items that things can be done with (like learn recipe, equip/costume) would also be good. I'll toss in a disambig page for inventory that points to this and to the pickups as those are the two inventory type things folks might look for.
I believe the mail article covers just about everything now and is ready for review:
In an effort to get things ready for launch I've done some work on the following pages. If anyone wants to take a peak and make sure everything is looking good, that would be appreciated!
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Community_Standards
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Energy_Depot
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Energy
For the Community Standards Page -
Harassment: There is a line that isn't grammatically correct: "Swearing and inappropriate content Keep it clean!"
Also, just to be sure on this note: GMs aren't supposed to ask for passwords, right? If that's true, please add that in ^^;
Otherwise, I'm happy with the pages ^^
I made a Treasure boxes page!
It's really simple and I really don't know how it could be expanded... if it can be expanded ^^;
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Main_Page
Revamp of the main page is now up. I've tried to keep it to the basics, otherwise too many links will make it cluttered and overwhelming for new players. Feel free to comment on the talk page.
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Character
I named it that because that's what the mouseover says....feel free to make redirects from terms that you've heard used for it.
I did what I can...
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Wolver#Notable_Wolvers
Can a pro take a look and clean it up if needed
made a mistake...that's not the vog cub sorry
It's not new, but can someone look over the level icons and see if it's okay? I know I'm missing a dinosaur head and the other monster face image but I don't know what to call them.
We're also going to make: LEVEL PAGES! It'll list the type of rooms (arena, mini-boss fights, clockworks, etc) and HOPEFULLY we can clear up any FAQs new players will have. That's not to say questions are unwelcome, but it's nice to have lots of information at your disposal if you're a new player ^^;
I created a Energy Sharing FAQ page to help explain the Mist Energy Sharing phenomena to new players without having to retype everything every few days. I've put three of the most common scenarios up so far, if you've got others feel free to add them.
Nice idea! My only suggestion would be to move it to Energy FAQ and make it encompass more information such as Can I buy energy with crowns? and Does mist energy get used before crystal energy? etc.
I think the buying energy with crowns should be made clear on the Energy Depot page.
I could shift all that new FAQ info to the Energy page. I didn't put it there originally cause it feels more like a technical help page than a game mechanics page.
Yes, it is clear on the Energy Depot page, but a FAQ will compile all of the frequently asked questions in one location. I still suggest moving it to Energy FAQ and having it cover the questions that are being repeated on the forums over and over again. I wouldn't merge it into the energy page as that would make it a bit too long and would hide the questions among the other info when the intent of the page is just to be able to send someone there so they can see their question and get the answer to it.
Ah, alright then; seems like I misunderstood what you were after there. I'll throw that together when I've got time (my night has been promised away to someone else).
I need to have a look at the other edit-able FAQs and up date them a bit based on form activity anyway.
Edit: Turns out I had a bit of time and I edited the page base on suggestions and moved it to Energy FAQ. I haven't proofread yet, so watch out for a few grammar mistakes!
I've added and updated the ability descriptors on the Bomb List. If someone could make sure these are reflected on the individual pages it would be much appreciated.
Edit: All Sword, Handgun and Helm stats should also be up to date and trustworthy too. Shields and Armor to come.
I just started a new page for strategies in SK.
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Strategies
Here's hoping it gets picked up and expanded!
The individual pages are correct and up to date. I was hoping people would follow the wave of edits I did and update the overall listings. I guess not :/
I'll check through them hopefully sometime this week.
In reference to your "Shield Shoving" Strategie Leav, I wanted to point out a interesting technique i found out. Im not sure if its been known to you or the players or if it is this "Shield Shoving" Technique. But here it is. I call it the "COUNTER BLOCK" OR "BLOCK CANCEL." This technique is very useful in attacking enemeis grouped around you or enemies who may attack you while you attack them. Its a quick way to deflect (Counter) their attacks while getting a good hit on them. I especially use this technique while charging; since it takes good damage to charge attack. What you do is charge your sword and the moment you let go chain the attack with a sudden block. The attack will pull through and suddenly connect or cancel to a block. like you where saying, the block also "shoves" the enemies back giving the player a distance from the enemies and to move being defended. This Technique reminds me of Zelda after doing Link's spining attack and blocking. I'd be honored if you could add it to the strategy page if you see fit. Thx and God Bless!
Here:
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Stratum
The idea is to gather all the level names a stratum can create in a single place. It's kind of messy at the moment though.
Repeating my edit comment: Someone with ideas please organize/fill this into something more useful.
Also made this stub the other day: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Vog
I'll probably make a vog_cub stub later with info about the removed monster.
New page stub: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Developers
Hopefully you can help me with this one Equinox, the information the user have is rather sparse.
I'd like to show you guys this advanced techniques page I'm working on. I just started 1 hour ago, but there's already animations showing what these techniques look like.
Advanced Techniques: Shield Cancel, Shield Charge, Shield Bump
Spiral Knights provides us with a few not so known techniques that can improve our game-play and effectiveness. Some of these techniques require a minimum of tech-skill and practice to really see the benefits (SC), but others are very basic and probably known by many (SB). List of known Advanced Techniques:
Shield Cancel (SC): One of the most useful techniques, specially with swords. This tech is based on holding your shield as soon as you attach with your sword, this will cause an animation cancellation in your attack, making your attack not only finishing quicker, but also having the chance of shield bumping or blocking an enemy's attack.
http://oi53.tinypic.com/2mr8g7l.jpg In this animation I'm shield canceling with my calibur, and as soon as the animation cancels I do the next attack. Notice how the shield doesn't show, but it still causes a shield bump if an enemy is close enough. If timed perfectly, the shield shouldn't show. I will make more animations with more specific situations and other ways to implement shield cancelling. *Understand that applying this technique with a proper timing will make you not only attack quicker than your actual sword combo, but you will also shield bump while staying in the same place!**
Shield Charge (SCH): This technique is basically a way to start your charged attack directly from shielding. While shielding, hold your attack button at the same time, as if you wanted to charge your attack inside your shield. If you wait a little, then release your shield while still holding your attack, you will come out of your shield charging your attack directly. This works for all kinds of weapons, and gives you the chance of charging your attack from a defensive move, instead of the usual initial swing (Swords), or shot(guns).
Shield Bumping (SB): Widely known technique, not really hard to apply. This technique works as a pushing barrier to get monsters out of the way, or to move/space them for your convenience. This technique is fairly fast so it comes in handy in many situations. To shield bump you have to tilt your shield on enemies. This will only work if the shield is activated near the enemy's hurtbox, and only if its done at the beginning of the shielding animation. [[ This page is currently under development. ]]
Shields are a critical part of Spiral Knights and have a number of subtle and non-obvious mechanics; I thought we ought to have a page of collected information on them, and since I was unable to find one, I have created a Shieldbearer Guide. (I stole some of Gianfri's material above, since they seemed more like shield techniques than sword techniques to me.)
Input would be appreciated. Also, my experience with wiki-editing is fairly limited, so it's entirely possible I've overlooked some details in setting the page up.
Hey, there hasn't been that much work on the new drone pages. Could i have some help on those? Thanks
I've added some basic structure to the Wisp & Shankle pages for the drones. Feel free to fill them out with more info or correct my guess at the attack/status types.
Do you have a dated page of updates and quick info on them?
Perfect.
I'm going to work on documenting damage types with 5* swords on damage *punching bags*.
Creating the page today, feel free to edit as you wish.
Edit:
Started a project creating pages for guildhall areas.
(Bechamel's Makeover Studio, Hunter's Lodge, etc.)
I'm going to start on the Magikat Guy's page in the lodge.
I would like my Guild page to be reviewed and updated please. Thanks!
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Dreadnaught_(Guild)
Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think that reviewing guild pages is the point of this thread. This thread exists so that wiki editors will check each others' work, to ensure quality control for important wiki pages. In contrast, guild pages can contain whatever their owners want (within reason), have no claim to factual accuracy, etc.
Well... I'm stupid. Haha. Sorry! How do I get it revewed? Because I make an update, and I can only see it when I am logged in. Do I just have to wait a while for it to be approved?
No, the wiki is just slow to show update sometimes.
Oh, okay. Lame. I've waited like a day. I'll just wait longer then. Thanks!
No offense, but i'm a bit sick how people edit their guild pages only instead to help the comunity editing monster/weapons/locations/missions. I think that nobody cares about reading your guilds articles, seriously.
Sir-Onox, of these three possibilities...
A. People edit important wiki pages valuable to the community.
B. People edit only unimportant pet pages such as guild pages.
C. People don't edit the wiki at all.
...I prefer A over B (like you), but I also prefer B over C. So I'm not too upset by the fact that, on a typical day, almost all Recent Changes on the wiki are edits of type B.
The-Rankor, try reloading the wiki page in your browser. I find that the wiki or my browser caches things strangely, and that reloading the page forces the newest version to appear, reliably.
I made a horribly formatted stub about perks to pour info before I forget about it.
Anyone with formatting skills or who wants to fill all the places I left unfilled is welcome to do so.
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Perks
@Sir-Onix/Bopp some people do read them, and some people LACK the skills to edit anything BUT there wiki pages... So factor that into your equation...
Yeah, I updated the Lockdown page on the Recon Class, and partly the energy I left the energy revive thing because I was not sure, and cant check in game ATM =P
If its wrong please fix it, Sorry if I caused a inconvenience!
