Re: Guide to UMC campaigns
Quick question, how do we update the wiki? Do we have to be logged into the forum or am I just missing the way you edit?

You have to be logged in to edit the wiki, and they are separate accounts currently.Velensk wrote:Quick question, how do we update the wiki? Do we have to be logged into the forum or am I just missing the way you edit?

Re: Guide to UMC campaigns / eras
I believe a separate wiki page for eras may be the better choice in the long run. With all these campaigns the page is quite clunky already. It also makes it easier to keep the parallel between campaign / scenario information <-> review. Opinions anyone?
P.S. UMC content is an awkward name because of being literally "user made content content".

Re: Guide to UMC campaigns / eras
Perhaps a separate page for Eras would nice in the future, but I don't think there is enough clutter of content to warrnat that yet. Also, the current mess of the wiki would only make it more difficult to find at this point, I think.
You are right about the 'UMC Content' name, though

Re: Guide to UMC campaigns / eras
Turuk, you are right and you could have changed that yourself. ... Moved 1.10 to a subpage and changed 1.11 to 1.12, which should be correct for most campaigns, if I understand it correctly.
Somehow, I fail to rename the page. Could someone rename it incl. the subpage to "Guide to User-Made Content (UMC)" for reduced awkwardness.

Re: Guide to UMC campaigns / eras
Elevated permissions are required to move a page, though you can technically get the same effect without them (I'm not sure if it would preserve the history though).
By the way, is there any particular reason my campaign is omitted from the 1.12 list?

Re: Guide to UMC campaigns / eras
Campaigns aren't automatically placed into the wiki, they have to be manually edited in (and they aren't transferred over from old versions even if the campaign itself is updated.

Re: Guide to UMC campaigns / eras
I know they're not automatically placed there, but Taptap just split the page into 1.10/1.12 sections, meaning he's solely responsible for its current content, so I wondered if he had a reason for omitting it.
Re: Guide to UMC campaigns / eras
No, I am not responsible for anything, it is a wiki. I literally just moved the whole 1.10 section, which doesn't matter for most readers using 1.12.2 anymore, to a subpage. I didn't exclude anything from the page, I have just no clue which campaigns have been ported (I renamed the 1.11 section to 1.12, which is how the add-on servers work afaik). If your campaign isn't listed now, this is because it was not listed in the former second part of the page, just add again and enjoy.Celtic_Minstrel wrote:I know they're not automatically placed there, but Taptap just split the page into 1.10/1.12 sections, meaning he's solely responsible for its current content, so I wondered if he had a reason for omitting it.

Re: Guide to UMC campaigns / eras
Ah, okay. I somehow missed the fact that it had already been split. I'll go ahead and do that.
Re: Guide to UMC campaigns / eras
Re-added the Era of Four Moons campaigns that are available under 1.12.2. Everyone please check for campaigns, that you know are available and working under 1.12.x and not yet listed again.

Re: Guide to UMC campaigns / eras
Bump. Is it used? Is it useful? Can we find a way to integrate recently added and to be added walkthroughs on the page?

Re: Guide to UMC campaigns / eras
Looks like there is many outdated information at there.
Re: Guide to UMC campaigns / eras
It is a wiki, but as always maintaining is a bigger challenge than creating. The current content is mainly from late 1.11.x that turned to 1.12. Hope the interest to update is still there.
