    Implemented Wiki: Let starships be locations

    At a glance, it looks like the starship: namespace is not included in the namespaces that are locations, since I don't see the location struct fields on the Bastion of Winter. But stararmy:starships: does have the location struct fields, since I can see them on the Resurgence of Yamatai...

    Wiki Wants

    I go some questions for you guys! 1. What types of pages does the wiki currently need most? 2. Which does it need the least? 3. What pages need updates the most? 4. What pages need illustrations the most? - - - Here's my thoughts: 1. We need pages that are enjoyable to read, give players...

    Structured Data Updates for Wiki Pages

    If you missed the last meeting, you might not have heard about the structure data that's being added to wiki pages. What is that, you ask? Well, basically it's tagging pages with nuggets of data (like for example tagging character pages with ranks or occupation or species). If namespaces or...

    READ ME Wiki Update Request Thread

    This thread is for requesting updates to the wiki. The thread was requested in the July 2020 community meeting. If you find a page on the wiki that seems like it needs to be updated because it's out of date or needs more information, you can ask for it to be updated here and a Content & Setting...

    Origin Starship Compartments and Other Undersized Pages

    Looking at the Google Search Console for StarArmy.com I found that Google is refusing to index some of our wiki pages because the content is too small and they appear to be "Soft 404s." Websites give a 404 error when a page is not present, but a soft 404 is when a webserver supplies some...

    Resolved Phantom Backlinks

    @Wes - When you have a moment, would you mind re-compiling the wiki's search engine or removing the hidden articles (the exfoliated Asterian/Ersetu /Gartagen/Pact/Vekimen/etc. ones, I think...?) that are causing backlinks to appear on the wiki's Wanted Pages article, please? The Ketsurui...

    Editing Submissions

    @Wes - are submission reviewers allowed to change things around in a submitter's WIP article without asking for their permission first?

    Approved Submission New Guide for Reviewing Submissions

    I've created a new guide for reviewing submissions, that is focused on giving a good experience and explains what should and shouldn't be in each submission. Here's what I have so far. Please review it and let me know what you think about it.

    Re-Inventing the Wheel

    Disclaimer. A lot of this is written with humorous anger. At no point was I ACTUALLY angry writing this post. I make a lot of comparisons that are intended to make people laugh. Please don't get angry reading this thinking I am actually angry, but understand there is a point :P We've all done...

    Resolved Emoji Bug

    Is there a way to disable the auto-usage of emojis on wiki pages? With the Aioron Grenade Launcher - and plenty of other articles, due to the prevalence of ":*" throughout the wiki - the following is displayed... ...which in turn messes up the rest of that section's formatting.

    Submission Template Development

    The points have been made in the Wiki Debate, and I want to work on the middle ground. I have listened to what everyone has to say, and all your points are valid. I will be making sure all the points are implemented into the Wiki as best as I can. Figured I would make this a thread, though...

    Article Requests

    In light of all the flooding happening down in Texas, I'd like to request the following articles: A inflatable raft and/or rigid-hull inflatable boat for Yamatai and/or the Star Army A standard life jacket design, preferably something that a pilot could wear and that could go in survival kits...

    Art Art for Wiki Pages

    So this isn't the first time I've had this idea, I've just never put it into practice, so that's what I'm going to be doing now. Since I've been in high school I have had experience with 3D modeling programs, blender, SolidWorks, and Archie CAD. So naturally when I found DOGA through SARP I...

    In Progress Wiki Bug

    Here and there this will happen: This also happens with images. What is happening is the last two brackets are thrown to the line below instead of being directly behind the | like they normally are. This issue started a few days ago. I can take more screenshots if necessary, but I am using...

    Email Updates

    Hello, I've changed the way Star Army emails you. Basically, our host limits PHP mail() but we get unlimited SMTP mails. So I had to reconfigure the server to send via the SMTP method. It's been tested working and should be good now. Note: People who were subscribed to get email notifications...

    Naming Wiki Images

    When uploading images to the wiki, please only use file names that make sense and are easily read. For example: amelia_jenson.png is a good name because it's an illustration of the character Amelia Jenson. 4c87cff6-11a3-4d5c-8ada-dd88f3531ea5.png is not a good name because you can't tell what...

    Hello Star Army! I've finally found some time this morning to update the Character Template & Wiki Code Generator (a.k.a. the Auto-template) to match the Standard Wiki Biography Page Template. Notable changes: Major visual overhaul so it looks like the wiki. Family/Creators section was...
