Ah, we can edit, and create links to blank pages, but we can't actually make the pages.

Basically he has to build the outline structure of the wiki then we can populate it.

In reply to Alpha SG (msg # 894):
Can you make an entry for Guenter the Hunter, so I can upload his details?

In reply to Player 7 (msg # 902):

It's worth noting that anyone can create "General Articles" outside of the game wiki, and link to them from within the game wiki. I'm going to go ahead and fiddle around with making some pages in this manner, then just link the whole thing into the game wiki!

 You could also then port the pages into a game wiki article if you so desired.

In reply to Player 2 (msg # 903):

For an example of this, I've linked the redcap covenant at the bottom of the home page. Working on making table templates for it, but my power just went down.

Yes, maybe I should upgrade all players to editors, or at least all players who are doing SGing... OK, everyone is now an editor. An additional plus is that it really cleaned up "The Cast."



In reply to Player 7 (msg # 902):

All set.

How do I create a Wiki page? Is there a link or something that I'm not seeing?

In reply to Player 17 (msg # 906):

You just name it. Here are two examples:

[[List of Vetted Enchantments]]
[[Traveling Covenant Other Resources | Other Resources]]

These result in pages named

List_of_Vetted_Enchantments
Traveling_Covenant_Other_Resources

But the second one only visibly shows up as "Other Resources" for the link.

In reply to Alpha SG (msg # 907):

When editing a page, it's a good idea to compose your edit, preview it until you're happy, and then before you hit post... copy the new text and refresh the page before posting, so that if someone else posted an edit between you starting to compose and finishing, you won't just rewrite theirs instantly.

I ported in all of the stuff I worked on for Promontorium. I'm going to put a shortcut table on the main page for the covenant.


E: Annoyingly, you can't use easy tables that contain any pipe characters, so links within tables require either plain page linking or using the <table> syntaxes, which work slightly differently on the forums vs wiki. Just a thing to be aware of!

Yes, definitely.

Posted a little thing on my wiki notes page: http://wiki.rpol.net/?edit=76182/klaudios_notes !

What does everyone think of the editor status? Does that look like it's a good way to go?

Editor status looks good. I'm getting the Wiki for the Traveling Covenant setup. It includes public character sheets for my characters tied to the covenant.

I've just noticed a weird thing with RPoL... It keeps un-marking things as having new messages even if I haven't read the threads, because I sometimes check the Library Forming and Library OOC threads on my phone, but I logged in to forums on my computer and it has everything marked as already read.  So, that's a thing I have to worry about - and I don't know if other people have the same problem, so I'm mentioning here in case someone else has a similar problem but hadn't noticed it like I did.

I usually have the opposite problem, it tracks if you have read something per device.

So if I have checked on my PC then i get on my phone it shows me there is stuff to read.

In reply to Player 4 (msg # 914):

Yes, that's the one that gets me, too, as I sometimes check on my phone, though mostly my computer.

In reply to Alpha SG (msg # 915):

It has been quiet in the general groups on here. How are we getting started on the game? Is it going to be separate threads on here?

In reply to Player 8 (msg # 916):

That's my understanding, a main IC thread for each covenant. It'd also be good, frankly, to have separate threads going for each adventure as the whole covenant probably won't all be doing every adventure together, at least not after the immediate few seasons.

On the Promontorium timeline, I made up a little draft chart for organizing the covenant's seasons, the primary purpose of which is to indicate who is in which story or using what resource in that season. That way, if we know we need to say.. A) Talk to the local temporal powers, B) explore a magical site, C) manage tribunal business, and D) persue lab projects, in Spring two magi might do A and another two do D, so that there's time in Summer for everyone to get together and do B because everyone wants to be there and so on.

I'm starting a separate thread for each covenant. Can all editors see all threads? If so, I'll keep them categorized because it helps with posting in case you have different characters in different covenants.

Could one representative of each covenant tell me where they planned to meet on April 1 the Vernal Equinox, just as 2019 is about to start? Replying here is fine. It will take me too long to dig through everything to find it all.

In reply to Alpha SG (msg # 918):

I can’t see all threads, or the new threads you have created.

OK, that's cool. My original plan was to put all adventure stuff in Group 0, figuring it's not so secretive. It's more the behind the scenes planning being done within covenants in preparation for tribunal meetings and the like that is better kept private. And for things like Mysteries I could create a group for the SG controlling it and the player(s) joining it.

Eh, on second thought I can just have all SG's have GM access.

Haven't heard back from all three of the Aerie Mages, but starting at the point of arrival at the covenant site works for at least two of us. Starting in Spring 1219?

Yes, we're starting with the beginning of spring 1219. The full season will be available, though how it's used and therefore exactly how it's available will depend on the various approaches.

In reply to Alpha SG (msg # 923):

The magi of the Promontorium will arrive together in Tunis, having gathered in Italy beforehand and crossed the sea via the trade routes.

I've started posting the threads. Won't all be up until later tomorrow.
