Kickstart

[Kralik]

Now that the wiki is working, I'd love to see it start to get filled. I was thinking that an organized project along these lines might work:

*Choose a set to edit.
*Set a target deadline (1-3 weeks per set).
*Make a list of cards that need to be edited per set and look for volunteers.

Of course, anyone can edit a particular card at any time! Some of you really should fill in the details for your favorites (Heije, I'm looking to you for LttG goodness!). I might take a lesser-known-but-surprisingly-powerful card such as Dear Friends, for example.

I'll be making card thumbnails shortly to help with making pretty inter-wiki card links.

Let me know what you think and we'll get this rolling!

I have a number of other LotR-TCG related things I'm doing, so I doubt I'll join any group, but i will definitely be adding things as I have time here at work.

[Kralik]

More of an informal volunteer basis. Like:

Kralik: Who wants to wikify set 1?

TelTura: I've got some stuff on X, Y, and Z, so I'll take those!

Someone Else: I'll do cards 11-19!

Heije: LOST TO THE GOBLINS is all mine!

[TelTura]

Is there any chance we can replace the smilies with the twilight symbols and culture/block icons?  I can't see emoticons being useful in a wiki, but those symbols are kind of important.

[Kralik]

I'll look into it. The smiley don't need to be removed, but I can use the smiley code to add new ones.

Or... I could just toss the images into the wiki media folder. Then you could call them with code like:

{{1.jpg}}

or

{{dwarven.jpg}}

I'll think about it. The second solution is much quicker.

[TelTura]

Works for me.

[Kralik]

Ninja'd! What do you think about image linking vs. smiley code if it's a matter of now vs. later?

[TelTura]

I think we can stand to wait.  {{1.jpg}} is pretty annoying to type, as compared to the

Code: [Select]

[1] and

Code: [Select]

[Gondor] that's used in the forums.  How does the smiley thing work, would you set a "smiley" that would be automatically interpreted (like [ 1 ])?  That would be best, in my opinion.

[Kralik]

Yes -- smiley code is actually what handles the forum icons, so I'm guessing I could take what I wrote for the forums and adapt it for the wiki.

Just for fun, I put a little bit of work into one of my favorite companions, Gimli, Feared Axeman.

Didn't hyperlink the cited cards. But I'm tired and have early morning meetings so I've decided against further work on the subject tonight.

[Kralik]

Thanks ket! I tweaked the deck links with the titles of the decks.

[Not a Zombie]

I'll take Southron Archer if that's cool

[Gil-Estel]

I will take lost to the goblins, most definately!

[hsiale]

I wrote a bit about Orc Banner. I guess I will add something to a card that catches my eye every now and then

[Kralik]

Culture/twilight icons should be working now (see Orc Banner for an example). If you've already edited a card's wiki, you need to re-edit it and save to have it parse the smiley code.
