wikiful thread

Klen posted a summary a while back and I had a look through but there was a lot more and it'd be good for us to just work out yknow "oh this is fine, this is an underlying thing we can fix, this is a categorisation issue" etc :D

alright so:
no broken redirects slugpraise
https://rainworld.miraheze.org/wiki/Rain_World_Wiki/Flex_section this page is a dead end
https://rainworld.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Hibernation_pod&redirect=no double redirect! goes to shelter which you have to click on to go to Hibernation (the name of the page was changed iirc. that might be why, i think it was shelter before)
https://rainworld.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:AncientPages love the name of this one, ancient pages, hehe. tons of stuff in here that could be merged (like the suburban page) or needs a good revamp (any lore related pages slugimjust ) i figure kip will add these/has already included these in the trello
orphaned pages include the en and hu versions of the difficulties page, along with the explosives page and... the videos page? no clue what that is
the "Rain World Wiki" and "Mechanics" categories are uncategorised. im not sure what that means exactly? thought it makes sense to add these here
similarly, it looks like every single file uploaded onto the wiki is uncategorised. no idea if this is an issue either
Achievements, Cut Content, Noodlefly Egg, Music, LttM dialouge and the Flex Section are all uncategorised. out of all of these i think Noodlefly Egg should definitely be categorised, that's a mess up on my end. you can decide on the other ones!
templates are also uncategorised, which i dont think is an issue
quite a few unused categories and templates! though these all seem like stock ones and i dont think we really need to use them anywhere
won't touch on unused files since in most cases it looks like a new version was uploaded separately or they were removed and replaced
there are a few non-existing linked files and pages. most of these are template & talk pages. a notable one's on the white lizard page, a broken file at the bottom

#

that's everything slughapp

west depot
#

oooh brilliant :O

#

tysm this is great sluglove

#

flex section is weird, we don't use it but it is,,, important?

untold trellis
#

hm

#

what's it do exactly?

west depot
#

Well it came over from Fandom anyway

#

The homepage is divided up into three sections

#

it's a slightly strange system, not sure if it's necessary slonk I imagine it's useful for more complex homepages

untold trellis
#

going to top or bottom is akin to flex - a page that redirects to the main wiki page

#

difference is that flex has nothing slugimjust

west depot
#

can't remember what fandom has

untold trellis
#

and we need the empty flex page for the other two to function?

west depot
#

OH the flex section is the sidebar on the right :D

untold trellis
#

that makes sense!

#

and since the main page on miraheze has no sidebar, the flex section's empty

#

glad we figured that out

tardy perch
#

"Rain World Wiki" is the homepage

west depot
#

I remember the struggles sunset had to implement a twitter sidebar before on fandom

tardy perch
#

"Mechanics" is my failed attempt at making a category page when i first started editing rip

west depot
#

maybe we can get sth like that up and running on flex in the future

tardy perch

ancient sins

#

going to delete hibernation pod then ;o

tardy perch
#

it's a redirect i think

#

but it redirects to "shelter" which has since been changed to "hibernation" slugimjust

untold trellis
#

yeah
fixing it to just redirect to hibernation sounds good!

tardy perch
#

i figure if people are looking up Hibernation they'll get the right page suggested anyway hunterkek

#

so go ahead and delete it

untold trellis
#

oh right
fair point, we can remove it hunterkek

west depot
#

Explosives is orphaned yes, I specifically did that when moving everything over to 3 separate pages

#

I guess the question is really: what to do with it?

tardy perch
#

i suppose it can be deleted monkcurious just leave it up until i finish with the other 3 pages so i can be sure nothing of value is left on it

west depot
#

I did move everything over 1:1, all content on is replicated over the other 3, but for sure slugtuch

#

I was thinking of making it redirect here: https://rainworld.miraheze.org/wiki/Objects#Explosive_Spear

Rain World Wiki

The player can carry, throw, and use a variety of items to assist in survival. The Slugcat can carry two items, and will throw the item carried in its right hand (viewer's left) first. You can swap the items in the Slugcat's hands by double tapping the grab button. Certain items can also be carried in the Slugcat's stomach by holding the grab bu...

#

yeah i dont think we really need the explosives page now

#

that'd make sense! go for it lizgreengaming

tardy perch
#

sure gourmandthumbsup

west depot
#

Closest thing we have to a landing page slonkeyes you alright looking at page history for reference kip?

tardy perch
#

yeah thats fine monkcurious

west depot
#

shamble awesome

#

hmm

#

it's pretty noncomprehensive as it stands

tardy perch
#

ive also taken note of that hunterkek

#

im planning to combine that w/ my plans for a development page

west depot
#

and these two are,, yeah they seem leftover from our first translation attempt (Hoosh's haha)

tardy perch
#

yeah slugimjust

#

not sure what we can do about those showing up in the orphaned section since it automatically swaps depending on your selected language , rather than being linked monkcurious

west depot
#

def no issue, especially if we'll be doing more translations, and fixing those two, in the future :D
