Changes: Community Discussion

Revision as of 19:51, 21 February 2021

One thing i have recently noticed is that we have a lack of community here on the wiki. We're a group of editors with no obvious communication or co-ordination. I'm by no means criticising. I just feel it would be beneficial to the wiki if we did have a platform to do so. Thus, i've created this community discussion page.

I'm not really a communtity manager kind of guy and i wouldn't say i have much of a vision for this at the moment. Hopefully it'll grow over time and become whatever it becomes. For now i'll keep it a basic place where anyon can: contribute to, communicate and learn, all with the ultimate goal of further improving the wiki.

Please feel free to contribute to this page!

Just wanted to give a shout out to By-Tor who has volunteered to join me in testing gardening yields. They will be working their way through the Wildgrass seed recipes whilst i finish off Grain seeds and then move onto 'trees'. Sadly testing results will slow down at this point as 'tree' type seeds take considerably longer to harvest than 'flowering seeds'.

Gardening yield data: I have been working my way through all of the various vegetable seed recipe combinations and recording my yield data on the wiki for Eden accuracy. I work on the assumption that Brass/Ceramic/Earthen pots are all coded to work the same and my data, although limited, does seem to support that theory. I'm pleased to say that Brass/Ceramic/Earthen pot data is now compiled (sample size, 10 yields).
Please do not update the BCNM/ENM and in the future ZNM pages unless that battlefield has been released. If we can keep it how it is now where only the ones that are updated (show up as blue) represent those that are ready to do on Eden it will make it easier for players to follow. If you see one that has been added to Eden but is still red, please update it or let me know. - Shoruto
When adding pictures, a lot of the main wiki pictures are in the WEBP format. I use this free website to convert those to PNG which then allows them to be put on our wiki. https://ezgif.com/webp-to-png - Shoruto

-*I've managed to get '''NPC Infobox templates''' working. Sort of. I couldn't get 'era' templates to work but i did fix the 'current retail' ones. Copy and paste the most up to date page you want to add to our wiki. Change the template name (the first thing written in the source) to '{{NPC1' and then remove any OOE information. The template can be found [[NPC Infobox Template|here]].

-*I've been working on templates and specifically porting over 'retail' zone information templates. I have them working mostly except for the maps. If you look [https://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Kazham-Jeuno_Airship here] and hover your mouse over the map, it will appear. I '''cannot''' replicate this on our wiki.<br />If you look at [[Kazham-Jeuno Airship]] and [[Kazham]] (top of the page) you can see my efforts. I've copied and pasted everything over perfectly, only changing links to pictures where necessary. I'm at a loss as to why the maps won't appear when a mouse is hovered over them. If anyone knows where i'm going wrong, please reach out to me.
-*I'm not comfortable enough with making templates yet but look into the MapHover template. [[User:MonkeyAce|MonkeyAce]] ([[User talk:MonkeyAce|talk]]) 10:39, February 25, 2020 (UTC)
-*Thanks for the tip. I tried it but still no luck unfortunately. I'm beginning to think the issue lies with Eden Wiki. The templates work perfectly on retail wiki but no matter what i do, i can not get an image to appear when a mouse is hovered over. There's a couple of templates which should be working as well (connecting areas on [[Kazham]]) and are not.
