Ship of Heroes Community Wiki

If we go this route, we'll just have to rename the zones portal page to Ship Levels or just Levels.

This is a good question.

I wouldn't call them landmarks, because they are broader in definition, but they aren't so much zones in the traditional MMO sense. That's a tough call, as you want it to be clear to readers.

I would follow the nomenclature that Heroic Games is using, and call them Zones, and each ship level a Level. It may seem unintuitive at first, but we can put a small blurb about it on the portal pages.

Basically I'm saying that I trust your judgement; do what you think makes the most sense. That said, If it were only up to me, I'd follow Heroic Games.

As for the images, there's no great solution. Maybe we add a link to the full size on the page? http://www.wikidot.com/doc-wiki-syntax:images

Just added the new official map and a list of all the areas and districts on it. I haven't linked them because I don't know how you want to do this. Want them all as landmarks or maybe a new area tag or something?

Also when you click on the map image it comes up too small to really view properly. If there any way to make it a bit larger?

Put Dr Cornish in the "npc" category by prepending it to his page url like so: npc:dr-cornish.

Looks like you already did this, but he won't show up on the NPCs page until his page exists, as that is one limitation of that ListPages module.

As for villains, I agree. You can look to the source on the organizations page for reference/inspiration.

Also, truly thank you for putting in all this work here. I greatly appreciate it.

We now have four villain groups and they're adding more. We should probably have a page listing them, or at least a list on a page somewhere. Maybe a sub-group under NPC?

I also added a new villain npc, Dr. Cornish, but don't know how to get it to appear on the npc list.

That sounds like a good idea to me.

Yeah I agree. But since heroship is game-specific jargon let's redirect this page to the justice page, and add a section on heroships? We can probably do the same with the liberty and freedom ship pages, since we don't know if they'll even exist.

What do you think?

I suppose we could reparent the individual heroship pages off this one. Otherwise it looks redundant to me - there's nothing on this page that isn't also on the individual pages.

I agree. Easy to implement if we can come up with a rough outline of the structure here.

For instance, if we create all new pages for specific badges using the category 'badge:' then I can create a table on this page that autopopulates with every 'badge' page.

Also: Wikidot provides us with a few tools to keep data input consistent. The first is templates, which define a loose wiki structure and provide defaults for new input. The second is dataforms to limit the input from users to a strict form. This will ensure that no data is missed, and provide a consistent format for publish. You can see an example of these two tools on the Archetype and Powers pages.

At some stage we'll need to decide how to display badge data. There could be hundreds of the things so maybe a table with sortable columns would work.

Some known issues affecting this wiki's functionality or user experience.

• Clicking on a comment in the Recent Discussions section of the homepage takes you to the Page the discussion is tied to, not the discussion itself. This is a bug with Wikidot, and I'm still looking for a reasonable workaround.
• Cannot display a message for existing site members on the join page to clarify that they are already members — Relies on usertype implementation of the ListUsers module.
• Parent Pages are not set automatically, must be set manually and the process is not intuitive

Closed Issues

• Join button doesn't show on the Become a Member page

Fixed that!

Thanks for pointing it out!

I'm glad to be able to help :)

There doesn't seem to be any way to reply to a discussion topic. Anyway, I've modified the page. Hopefully makes it a bit clearer now.

Fixed an error with the Membership (Join) page that prevented non-members from seeing the "Click Here to Join" button!

Tested on Chrome and it's working great!

NOTE: If you are already a member of the SoH Wiki then you will not see the button either way!

Thank you again for your contributions lunawisp!

We should probably clarify here that this area isn't a "zone" in the technical sense of the word (a different game map) but an area of the Apotheosis City (the starter zone)

I developed a template for archetype category pages, created all the initial archetypes and proposed future archetypes, then added the ListPages module to this archetype overview page to automatically list available archetypes.

So I took the basic information from the SOH website and copied it here. I think this can be fleshed out further by looking at Kickstarter and referencing the many videos and interviews out there in the web.
