[meta]Fenwiki Update Thread

[Feinan]

By the way, I noticed that none of the Fateful Lightning folks have character writeups yet. Just saying/hinting, is all...)

Yeah, yeah, I know. I'd originally done at least a fair bit of a writeup on them in the ship section, and never really did a character
writeup. I'll try to get to that soon.

[robkelk]

The http://fnord.sandwich.net/fenwiki/doku. ... oy_express]Bullet Boy Express and the http://fnord.sandwich.net/fenwiki/doku. ... t_midnight]Magnificent Midnight are now in the Wiki.

(I took the liberty of changing "fright delivery" to "freight delivery" in the Bullet Boy Express' writeup, BlackAeronaut...)

Relatively minor edit to the Convention page, giving the pre-Fenspace cons their proper names instead of "Worldcon $X." Also added a note that the Montreal Worldcon ended up on the Island, and thereby hangs a fookin' tale, no doubt. Maybe one you proud Canadians would like to take a stab at telling it?

Fnord? I got the vehicle entries for my character as good as I think they're going to get for now. Do you want me to put them into the Fenwiki, or would
you like to do the honors?

[M Fnord]

Your stuff, so get an account and load it.

I've put a ship-writeup template on the discussion page for the ship index page. (That should make it a bit easier for folks who aren't comfortable
with writing wiki-markup from scratch...)

Took me a moment to to figure out exactly where you put that, Rob. Thought for a moment that it was on the Fenspace Forum. Whoops! ^_^;;;

Kudos to whoever posted the entries for me anyways. I've just added a history entry to The Bullet Boy Express and I'm working on tidying up a few
other things.

[Black Aeronaut]

Okay then! Got the write-ups for The Roughriders and Asteroid Racing plugged into the Wiki.

EDIT: Next on my to do list: Write-up for Regina "Gina" Langely. ^_^;

[robkelk]

I've gone through more old threads, pulled writeups for these ships, and added them to the Wiki.

Space Craft:
SC Benten
Hyperspace Vespa
Kestrel Mk3
Mission of Mercy
Nanbara's Luck
Pearl Forrester
SC Saturn 0
SC Saturn 1

Space Ships:
SS Admiral Heinlein
Brave Legend Shakespeare
The Calling Port
ISS Delphinus
S.S. Klondike III
SSX Masaka
ISS Octopus
Qin Shihuangdi
S. Hofwalls Field
SS Saint Bernard

Space Vessels:
SSN 2161-X Stingray (This one has an image, too!)

That reduces the number of ships without writeups on the Wiki from 31 to 12...

[Cobalt Greywalker]

OK, the http://fnord.sandwich.net/fenwiki/doku. ... onsupers]new Supers write up has been added to the Wiki. As has my http://fnord.sandwich.net/fenwiki/doku. ... nd_wizards]latest fic.

[robkelk]

New page (from Ebony's post here): http://fnord.sandwich.net/fenwiki/doku. ... r_concerts]Cavalier Concerts

Update: The page for http://fnord.sandwich.net/fenwiki/doku. ... marstart]Mars now has a statbox for Deimos, and a mention of the Clark Savage, Jr. Memorial Stadium and Music Complex.

(Is it getting to be time to give Luna, Phobos, and Deimos their own pages, or are they still okay on the main Earth and Mars pages? Should I run a poll? )

[Duane Peters]

Thank you for doing the writeup on my two; my Fenspace backstory hit a little (okay, a lot) too close to home this year and I haven't been able to work on
either of them much.

[M Fnord]

The current draft of the Quick Start Guide is now available from the front page. Editing and/or story recommendations should be done there.

[robkelk]

Glossary updated.

Name and title of the Ninja faction leader added to the Ninja faction writeup (copied from the Glossary).

Sidebar "The ReAnimator" added to the TV in Fenspace page.

Added "Known Important People" list to the Senshi faction page's statbox.

Statbox added to Stellvian faction writeup (on the Stellvia Corporation page).

Minor cleanup of most Stellvian character writeups.

Added placeholders on the characters page for my Supergirl android from "First Daughter" and her creator.

[robkelk]

I noticed that the Hephaestus origin story posted on the FenWiki was actually only the ending of it. (Now whose fault was that? )

I've posted the missing sections and put the correct title on the story. It still has http://fnord.sandwich.net/fenwiki/doku. ... and_oh_boy]the old URL, though - I didn't want to break any links in the rest of the Wiki.

Because the Glossary is the closest thing we have to an index on the Wiki, I think adding relevant terms to it is a good thing...

Added Action Girls, Belters, Crystal Millennium, Dandelions, Filkers, Galactic Republic, Galactican, Hacker Underspace, Independent Faction, Interstellar
Alliance, Ninja, Operation Great Justice, Potterites, Rockhound, Space Patrol, TSAB, and The Watch to the Glossary, with relevant links.

I just created a new section in the FenWiki: http://fnord.sandwich.net/fenwiki/doku. ... rtaltart]Portal Pages

And so it wouldn't be a lonely, no-content stub, I also complied http://fnord.sandwich.net/fenwiki/doku. ... ltellvia]the Stellvia Portal. That made the Portal Page a lonely, one-item-content stub.

(Now I want cake, for some reason... )

Not any more. But my markup fu is clearly broken. And I don't know why.

[M Fnord]

It's a Dokuwiki thing, it doesn't like bold-italics-underline-link markup in stuff marked up as headers. Don't know why it's like that, but
there it is.

[Black Aeronaut]

I've been tweaking some of my character pages - nothing real major except for an added quirk for Gina. Or rather, I expanded a minor quirk into a major
one.

[Black Aeronaut]

Been busy. Got up pages for Blackbird and Peacemaker Classes (Finally!) complete with pretty pictures!

ETA: Argh! Scratch the image for Midnight. The mollases slow connection I have out here keeps on timing out before the upload can finish. If
someone with a broadband connection could upload it for me I'd appreciate it very much.

[Bob Schroeck]

Added http://fnord.sandwich.net/fenwiki/doku. ... f_fenspace]The Myths of Fenspace.
