Hello everyone. This is a progress update for the month of August 2022.
To newcomers: thank you for joining the Dragon Marked For Death (EN) Wiki! We hope you find the information useful.
Also, a question: I'm curious to know how people are finding this Wiki, if people don't mind saying so in the replies to this post. I am anticipating that the primary communities using this Wiki are outside of Fandom, and I am interested in the response. Thank you!
Content Updates:
We have completed the formatting and basic contents of the following pages:
Weapons and all related Category pages.
Accessories and all related Category pages.
We have found an improved method to implement Tweet video embeds onto pages and are now using this method across the Wiki.
We have added navigation box templates pertaining to "Data" and "Lore & Franchise" to relevant pages across the Wiki. We hope that these navigation boxes will be useful.
We have also completed the basic expected structures of Equipment articles, such as Schiavona. These articles will utilize an Infobox called Template:Equipment, and the instructions are included in the Community-To-Do-List.
We have begun the process of creating Interactive Maps for the various Quests in the game. As such, the Main Page has been updated. Map images will use direct rips from the Steam version of the game, albeit with some slight edits depending on the Quest. Not all Maps have been uploaded yet, so it will take some time. But a few of them, such as Ensys Castle - The Bell Tolls, have already been mostly completed. Any feedback pertaining to improving the usability and readability of these Maps is welcome.
Management Updates:
To keep the user roster of this Wiki up to date, we have removed Admin and Bureaucrat roles from inactive members of the Fandom community. Members inactive since late 2021 have had their non-autoconfirmed roles removed. If you were previously an Admin, your role was removed, and you would like it returned, please contact me and we can make a negotiation. Thank you.
Future Plans:
The full Class guides are still in progress. Many of the video clips proposed by Admin Tornado Fang have already been completed. However, we are still experimenting with the structures of these articles due to their lengths. The basic information is complete, but the explanations of techniques and other advanced contents are still a work in progress.
In particular:
The Witch page needs the majority of high-quality gifs removed due to the amount of lag on the page.
Tweet embeds that aren't currently working are not to be replaced until further notice. The embeds are not working because the user may have temporarily privated their Twitter account.
Some of the Basic Tech sections do not yet have videos and explanations. They will be added at some point in the future.
Etc.
Conclusion:
Since the Fall semester is coming up in about 3 weeks from now, I may not be very active on editing as I have been before. However, as usual, if you ever need my assistance, please feel free to contact me. I am also available on Twitter and Discord if you need faster communication or just want to chat.
Once again, thank you for visiting and supporting the revitalization of the Dragon Marked For Death (EN) Wiki. We have done a lot of work over the past months and things are looking quite good! : )
