[META] If somebody's looking for something to write about... - robkelk - 01-05-2010
... the http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?title=Main_Page]new wiki has a couple of auto-generated pages: http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?titl ... 0&offset=0]Wanted pages and http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?title=Category:Stubs]Stubs.
Edit: If it's too much work to come up with something new, there are also some http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?titl ... of_cleanup]Pages in need of cleanup.
Have fun! (Just don't step on any other writer's toes...)

...Wow, that's a lot of links.
- robkelk - 01-05-2010
Yep. I've knocked a few dozen off the "Wanted pages" list by setting up redirects, too.
As to what I've been doing since the initial post in this thread:
New article added, put together from existing information:
Disambiguation pages added:
- http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?title=Pirate]Pirate
- http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?titl ... _Asteroids]Village Hidden in the Asteroids
- http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?title=Village] of Hidden Asteroid]Village of Hidden Asteroid
(If somebody can come up with a better icon for the disambiguation pages, feel free.)
As already mentioned, miscellaneous redirect pages added.
And I've added a Vision-Impaired Transcript to the first page of http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?titl ... uter_Space]The Mystery of the Fen from Outer Space. Somebody else gets to do the next one of these...

More work:
New pages:
- Candy (salvaged from the pre-wiki PDF)
- Miranda (salvaged from the pre-wiki PDF)
New Disambiguation page:
- Three Graces
(And an auto-generated list of all the http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?titl ... tion_pages]Disambiguation pages - I put the category tag in the Disambiguation template, so it'll show up without needing to be specified.)
Un-stubbed page:
- The Island (salvaged from the pre-wiki PDF - data dumped and minimally formatted; page needs cleanup!)

Mm. Clarification: Is it "Andy 'Adonis' McMurdo" ?or "Adonis 'Andy' McMurdo"? Both are in the Wanted list along with
"Andy McMurdo".
ETA: How do you queue a page for deletion? We had "Salvage I" and "Salvage 1", and I standardized on the former (with the Roman numeral),
leaving the latter an empty page.

Quote:ETA: How do you queue a page for deletion? We had "Salvage I" and "Salvage 1", and I standardized on the former (with the Roman numeral), leaving the latter an empty page.Rather than deleting the extra page, I've just turned it into a redirect page. Anybody who searches for "Salvage 1" will now be taken to "Salvage I".
(Edit: Y'know, I was going to spend this week off work actually writing, but we got a new Wiki to play with instead... At least I am watching the anime I wanted to watch before sitting down to write chapter 4 of LoGG.)

Added all the MotFfoS pages,
including transcripts for pages 1 & 2. Will add more transcripts later, and start including them in the new pages as I add those. Updates should start
again this week.

As of this posting, we're down to 14 missing image files.
I'm sure Brian will upload this one once he's drawn it:
Comic fen frm out space page025.jpg
See http://drunkardswalkforums.yuku.com/topic/6522]this thread for the search for this image:
Galaxy Express 999.jpg
Mal gets to upload these; they're his babies:

Pegasus Artemis patch.png
I can take photos of my figures for these ones; I'll just need an appropriate backdrop (maybe matte aluminum with hull-plate lines scribed on it?):
Catty Nebulart.jpg
Haruhi Suzumiya.jpg
Mikuru Asahina.jpg
Yuki Nagato.jpg
Which leaves these six images - five characters and one installation - for other folks to find or make public-domain images of:

Status report: All of the characters I created and all of the open characters (excepting the Clay Pigeons) now all have infoboxes. (It was fun writing the infobox for http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?title=Julian_Friez]Julian Friez...) The writeup for http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?title=Winry_Rockbell]Winry Rockbell now includes her OGJ-era activities. I also hung a "stub" tag on the writeup of the http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?title=Pinafore]Pinafore.
"Aargh" moment: The lines "death_date", "death_place", and "death_cause" in the infobox for http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?title=Yoriko_Nikaido]Yoriko Nikaido are commented out, because I can't get the "death_date" data to display. What am I doing wrong?

Basically you were trying to call a Wikipedia template that we don't have on FenWiki. Input the date manually and it comes out fine.

Many more character pages have infoboxes now - not all, but I believe more than half. (Bob, please check the Grover's Corners character writeups and double-check that I got the relationships right.)
I also created and populated a stub page for 74 Galatea.

I just "stubbed" a couple of pages that really should be written by other folks:

lacking. (o_o

Exactly. (It kinda helps that I'm the New Number Two on the FenWiki... )
And you're welcome. Don't worry about wiki-fu; right now, we need content more than we need pretty formatting. Mal or I can go in and format text (chech speeling , add crosslinks to other articles, move pictures around so the text flows naturally, and so on), but only if the text is there to be formatted. Just put [[Category
ages in need of cleanup] at the very end of the page, and somebody with "133t wiki ski11s" will get to it... eventually.--

Oh, by the way, last night I added a new category to the Factions block and page: Earthbound Factions -- for fen groups that operate entirely in the Danelaw
like the Knight Riders/Foundation for Law And Government. It might be cool to think up a couple other underground groups who are working with handwavium under
the noses of the authorities. (Hm. Come to think of it, I just did... off to the wiki I go now...)
ETA: Allow me to introduce the newest faction: The
Pellucidarans.

Nice. They sort of fit with the Pulpers. Another group that no one's written anything about are the Steam- and Dieselpunks. Although I had an idea for a
steam-powered "ether flyer" called the HMS Indefatigable, that was delayed in its maiden flight due to the cost of polished hardwoods and
brass fixtures. (Steampunk ships having to look suitably steampunk, else they won't fly.)

Makes sense to me.
Say, does anyone want to write up the Submariners? I just thought of them, the logical counterparts of the Pellucidarans: Submarine/Atlantis fen -- 20,000 Leagues, Nadia, Voyage To the Bottom of The Sea, SeaQuest, etc., along with everything else along those lines including Aquaman, etc. They probably have connections to those Japanese fen who were trying to raise the Yamato (as mentioned on the media page), and probably aren't strictly Earthbound (given Yamato, Nadia, and the SkyDiver from UFO), but they'd be more concerned with the sea bottom than anything else. Mm. And they're probably focused on getting replicable water-breathing/mermaid biomods, too, but probably have a few Creatures from the Black Lagoon they don't want to talk about.

In other news, I've finally bit the bullet & gotten the bulk of the SOS-Con thread loaded onto the wiki. I'm not sure it makes a lot of sense, and there's bits missing, but I think I got the important stuff.

Can someone take a look at how I coded up the Earthbound Factions category/subcategory? I must have done something wrong, though I can't figure out what -- "Earthbound Factions" doesn't show up as a subcategory on the http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?titl ... y:Factions]Cateogry:Factions page with all the others.
