Tacoportation is a placeholder, so if you see that, don't worry. It just means that that page needs to be updated with the correct information

Something like this?

Yeah, mostly like that. It could probably stand to be more overt on some of the differences between versions but that might require a writeup instead of a video. Though that particular video didn't showcase the wallpaper colors.

Looking at your channel as a whole, I also see that you have videos with vehicle stuff and that's definitely a place where info has kinda fell off across the forum.

holloweaver

I definitely miss the previous wiki but it's going to be a hell of a titanic job.
Good luck all

xrazamax

With the devices placed in the recognition vendors now requiring certain missions and perks to be completed before you can buy them, there is going to be a greater need for mission details and mission progression.

captainhunter1

Just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work on this folks. It is definitely something that a lot of people use, but don't have a way of saying thanks - well except here of course. :P Thank you!

markofthelexan

Just a heads up about the wiki team since i only updated the site.
I'd like to welcome both Xrazamax and aqa to the wiki team.

Also yes the tacoportation etc we knew about (Eviltaco's doing)

markhawkman

yeah, it was her idea of a placeholder.

theravenforce

Updated Crowd Control page.

markhawkman

http://www.championswiki.com/index.php?title=Core_Mods

I need to make a list of missions which can give these as mission rewards.

blackrosematexis

I see some of the wiki is completely ruined by kids... Because this is in all the powers of Dual blades. Description:
"Tacoportation gives the user the ability to teleport between any variety of mexican food within a thousand mile radius. Upon exiting, a delicious wave of hot sauce covers all enemies and nachos within a 100 foot radius."

Framework: Burritomancy
Damage Type: Delicious

And so on. When this is gonna be fixed? Or nobody gives a single... you know what?

As it has been pointed out before...that is a placeholder.

I'm stupid, don't judge xD Well then, anyone is working on the wiki? To remove these... Placeholders...

markhawkman

Yeah, I'd do it but I'm not familiar enough with powers.

A lot of power pages should be updated in the next week I am told by an unnamed source someone who said they'd do it.

theravenforce

I've updated Telepathy's Mental Storm power and Telepathy's Manipulator Form with the new nerfed damage (around 50% reduction for Mental Storm!) and duration values (respectively) and I'm working through the Telekinesis Power set as Telepathy has been completed (until we see more damage value reductions, then I'll update as necessary).

I'm working through Telekinesis. There should be NONE in Telepathy.

theravenforce

*Created the page Block and the category Block.
*Updated all Telepathy pages to correct for a minor issue.
*Updated most of Telekinesis (still working on it)
*Updated all power set lists for the Block link.

Please refer to Telekinetic Shield and Force Shield pages to copy/paste the format and edit where necessary when adjusting block pages for other sets.

Thanks!

EDIT: If/when putting links to healing abilities please use: [[:Healing]], as this links to the Healing page I created.

EDIT #2: Absorb Heat and Hydra have been added to Fire (no page created as of yet).

I've been checking out some of the work done on it so far, and not only does the layout look very neat and presentable so far in it's current state, but the information that has been added to it so far is pretty accurate as well and you can see that those working on it have spent a good deal of time making sure it's done right. Good job everyone and I can't wait to see it get better over time.

markhawkman

So, feedback request:

Currently the articles on Modifications are in need of revamp. At present there are separate pages for each of the major zones and mod types. Which seems fine... except that the data would be more useful if it was included in the article for that zone. One of my ideas is to integrate the data on mod nodes in each zone into the articles for the zone itself. the idea is that this will make it easier for players to find the information.

Also, I'm planning to make it so the Item Modification page is a more comprehensive overview of the topic. To be fully comprehensive it needs lists of stuff that I don't yet have. Such as basic stats for every vehicle in the game, that sort of thing. Another list I'm planning to compile is a list of story missions that give Legacy Cores. these aren't direct rewards, but things that come socketed in the actual reward.

eiledon

Re vehicles basic details http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/championsonline#/discussion/244924/luckis-vehicle-magazine-pictures-of-all-vehicles has pics and stats (up to vehicles released around this time last year​​

markhawkman

Well, that's enough to get started with making lists of vehicles. Thanks!

markhawkman

Well, I started working on reconfiguring things. Take a look at these pages to see if there are any templating errors:
http://www.championswiki.com/index.php?title=Item_Modification

http://www.championswiki.com/index.php?title=Lemuria
http://www.championswiki.com/index.php?title=Vibora_Bay

xrazamax

I am currently updating (creating from scratch) the vehicle section. Please give me feedback on any stats you want to see displayed on vehicles or layout suggestions.

http://www.championswiki.com/index.php?title=Category:Vehicles

I could use help gathering the stats for all the vehicles in the game.

theravenforce

@xrazamax

For vehicle stats: Click Here

^ The gallery was created a while ago and used to be regularly updated. It also contains screenshots you can use.

markhawkman

Also the page Liath linked.

NOTE: I was not planning on personally adding any vehicle data more complicated than a stat listing, so you don't need to worry about duplication of effort.

xrazamax

The vehicle's page is coming along nicely, it will just be a matter of time until it is completed. The next phase I want to move on to is getting images of all the costume pieces uploaded. The issue, however, is I am not sure how we are going to have people navigate through that.

I want to have as little redundancy as possible. However, the way the things are set up at the moment makes it appear as though there will be a LOT of redundancies. I might be over thinking it, but there is a male and female yet most costume pieces don't different between male and female.

The other issue after redundancy is the issue of displaying costumes in their categories.

If you click on Costumes>Male>Head Type then you end up here: http://www.championswiki.com/index.php?title=Category:Cos_male_head_type

In what fashion should the costumes be displayed? A table? Thumbnails for each image? I don't want to go off on my own until we have a consensus on how to do this. For now I will try to upload all the costume to the wiki with a structured file name so they will be ready for use.

markhawkman

I'd make lots of small charts, we have the ability to have a page display a list of charts. We don't have to code the charts directly into the page.

Is there already an example of this?

markhawkman

hmm... well after looking around a bit all I saw that worked like that was the nav template....

markhawkman

I made an example of it:
http://www.championswiki.com/index.php?title=Core_Mods

I cut out the charts and put them into templates. The templates are called by using {{pagename}}. In this case the template names are RecognitionCoreChart and LegacyCoreChart. Creating one is easy. Just put in the code to call a page and hit preview, it'll give you a template redlink thingy, just click that and it'll give you an empty template page for you to put the template in. You can cut/paste from where it is now.

markhawkman

How would this be useful for vehicles? Maybe make a separate template for each vehicle, then you can make templates for the various types of vehicles. Those can do function calls for each individual vehicle, and you can have charts that select vehicles in several different ways. For example: a chart of vehicles obtained from events, a different chart that's a list of hover tanks, etc... With this system you don't need to make duplicates of the vehicles you just add links to them.

xrazamax

Power info standard:

Level 40 Hero
Hybrid Role
No stars
No Superstats
No talents
No Innate talents
No gear
No nuffin

Okay, I'm starting to understand this better but I'm not 100% sure on how to set it up yet.

markhawkman

Creating a new page is as easy as putting a link to it in an existing page, then when you click the link it opens a window to create the new page. Templates are the same. Add code, such as: {{ModChartHeader}} to a page to call a template that doesn't exist. Then it gives you a link to create the page when you click on it. You can then copy/paste the chart from an existing page.

For example:
{{HoverTanks}}

This could have as it's contents:
{{Avalanche}}
{{Boulder}}
{{DesertFox}}
{{FlintFire}}
{{Malakim}}
{{Mammoth}}
{{Manta}}
{{Mastodon}}
{{Moray}}
{{Ridgeback}}
{{Seraph}}
{{Smilodon}}
{{SnowLeopard}}
{{TigerShark}}
{{UNTILShuttle}}

Then each of those in turn would have a single chart entry as it's contents, such as {{UNTILShuttle}}:
{| class="wikitable sortable" border="1" style="text-align: center; border-collapse: collapse;"
|-
! Type !! Name !! Att !! Def !! Spd !! Weapon 1 !! Weapon 2 || Wep Slots || Def Slots || Sup Slots || Vendor || Image
|-
| Hover Tank || UNTIL Shuttle || 3.5 || 5.5 || 2 || Heavy Cannon Mk 1 || N/A || 2 || 2 || 1 || UNTIL || [[File:Vech Until Shuttle.png|thumbnail]]
|}

Hmm... This doesn't make sortable charts, but I don't think we really need those.

xrazamax

Yeah, probably not for costumes

markhawkman

BEHOLD!
http://www.championswiki.com/index.php?title=Template:SpecialMods

xrazamax

So beautiful~!

markhawkman

I realized my idea of cutting the charts into pieces wasn't as easy as I'd originally thought so I asked Crec4et about how to do it right.

markhawkman

Hehe: limited edition demo of the new look:
http://www.championswiki.com/index.php?title=Template:SpecialMods

theravenforce

@theravenforce,

I was wondering who I could contact regarding assisting with building up the Wiki site.

markhawkman

I would start by contacting @eviltaco, or @ralnautikuus

Hi there!

You can contact (in game) @eviltaco - who should be able to take some details and set you up on the site...I would do it myself but there seems to be something very wrong on my end when trying to create new accounts.

markhawkman

I'm not sure how many people actually have permission to create new accounts. I'm pretty sure I can't.

tempestorm76

Thank you for the information.
