That's the amazing part about a wiki, you can update it yourself so for lack of updates there is no one to blame but yourself.
Sorry if this seems harsh in any way but the last 11 updates were by me and there haven't been any in some time from what I can tell.
Fusa also updated his links to the HG PDF

hi. i'm in the process of uploading some screenies of my UR's. However, I'm not too adept in making new pages. I'll just upload them and then maybe someone would be kind enough to put it in the right place. I already put some up, however, I failed to check to see if they were duplicates. Some of them are.
Thanks in advance. -qt

the easiest way I have found is to search for the article you want to make. It says it doesn't exist with a link to create it. I just did that with Blackstaff's Blessing

there seems to be a slight difference of opinion regarding the naming of categories. namely, if they should be plural or singular. right now, there is a category called "belt" with 8 entries (although missing the category tag for items) and one called "belts" with 3 entries. then there is rings, amulets, gloves and staves - as well as shield, helmet and armor. since those are all categories, i think they should all the plural (even if there is only one entry) and if nobody objects (or is faster than me), i'm going to change them all

categories describing an item should be plural imo Items:Belts:Girdle Of Gehenna :Belt Of the Immortal
and so on.
Same goes for Weapons: Shields Rings Staffs(Staves?) Bows etc

Is it okay if I reproduce the content on the forums on the Wiki? I've some experience working with MediaWiki, but just wanted to check before I start migrating things such as Quasiclass information, Class Abilities and Subrace Information. Clearly, I won't place anything that should be found out IG (i.e., isn't published on the boards) on the Wiki, but just want to be sure the above mentioned is OK. (P.s. I'll be playing again soon!)

Yeah, that's fine, but I'm not gonna be updating it as I do the boards here, so I'm not sure how much use it'd be. Funky

It is a lot easier on you if you simply link the information back to the post as we do currently on the HGWiki with linking to information on NWNWiki.

From the Category:Races discussion page: I'm going to use the following convention for creating races pages: 1. Create a page following this article's naming conventions (e.g., Arctic Dwarf, not Dwarf, Arctic) These names seem better suited for article URLs 1. Copy the information from the forum over directly (it can be edited later) The forum is the most recent source of sub race information Once a page for each race has been created, we can categorize them according to base race, rarity, requirements, etc. Does that sound good? (I could simply link to the forum page in which the race's description appears, but that means we can't have categories such as "Dwarven Races" or "Secret Races". That's why we need to create an article for each separate race - just like we're doing for items at this stage.)

Sounds good to me. I don't think anyone will object to what you add or how you add it as long as it makes sense in the end and is in some sort of order where the information can be found easily.

i find it increasingly confusing how categories for items are handled and what constitutes a category.
i can see how "Items" is a category and i can see how we would then have a subcategory called "Belts", but then there are other denominators like "Ultra Rares" and "Cleric Items" and "Dustbone Weapons". All those different ways of categorizing things might be valid, but it becomes increasingly difficult to make sure you have them all when adding new items.
One way of doing it would of course be to include templates from the category into the subcategories. The "Belts" template (which doesn't exist atm) should probably include the "Items" template, for example. The problems start when you try to find an overall tree structure. Since both "Belts" and "Ultra-Rares" seem to be valid subcategories of "Items" and one doesn't necessarily is a subcategory of the other, you can't just include one template in the other and end up with 2 competing templates, which makes the "Divinity beckons" belt really hard to place. Not to mention, that there is also a "Cleric Items" category and it should probably be listed there as well.
So it seems the only practicable way is not to use templates for them all and add the applicable categories by hand all the time. Which means, of course, that the person adding an items needs to know all the ways in which items are categorized and has to assign them correctly too.
This is why i think less is more. Have categories that list the different types, like "Belts", "Amulets" or "Shields" and as a second tier have categories that tell you something about the origin, like "Ultra-Rares" or "Dustbone", but nothing like "Dustbone Weapons" or "Cleric Items". It is just to much and sooner or later we end up with which things like "Rare Level 29 Weapons", "Ultra-Rare Caster Belts" or "Dustbone Resistance Rings".
Nobody will know what categories exist, add their items to only some of them and we end up with a lot of incomplete category listings that don't really help.
Opinions?

Yes: Use commented-out categories in the template, so would-be creators of articles can comment them in as they see fit. Leave a short note there explaining this, too. Regards
