For all the folks that aren’t in the LOTC-Discord (incl. New-Player-Discord), as promised.... here is the update in regards to Wiki-Character-Pages:
So, greetings to all you LotC Players once again- I have come with an update regarding the character pages. Over the last two week and few days the Wiki-Team worked on a project, mainly focusing on Character & Figure Wiki pages. Throughout said two weeks the members responsible went through 472 pages two times and checked them for their content and general status. While that was going on, the members created a document, marking all pages down including their status and if they are following the new rule in regards to character pages. Out of 472 pages only 302 are up for updating, 33 up for archiving, and 24 up for possible deletion- If you do not agree with what is up for possible deletion or archiving, just fill in the form down below (To claim the page for an update) or send me or @Ragnio a PM. Do not flood the lobby chats.
Basically! Everyone can claim a page for updating, as the Wiki-Team will be able to provide them with Google-Documents for you to update the required pages. The pages themselves will then be updated by the Wiki-Team on the Wiki, based on your documents. In addition, you all will have 4 weeks to update the pages (15th of March), possible extensions can be given out on specific requests aka send me a PM and pages not updated in time will be archived instead.
Spreadsheet with all the pages: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RvvpsEdO2c4ifGPBgay_7XVZkxnItKQS3T94jyzHkXA/edit?usp=sharingForm to claim a page for an Update: https://forms.gle/pfUf5ipVnLbFejYd8

If and when you do claim a page, we will contact you and give you the google-document to write the update on~

For all the folks that aren’t in the LOTC-Discord (incl. New-Player-Discord):
Greetings everyone!
Over the last two weeks the Wiki-Team worked on a project, mostly focusing on Character & Figure Wiki pages. Throughout said two weeks the project-team went through 472 pages and checked them for their content and general status. While that was the case the team created a document, marking all pages down, including their status and if they are following the new rule in regards to character pages. Out of 472 pages only 104 pages met the requirements laid out by the Wiki-Team. Meanwhile, 91 pages were considered appropriate for the wiki, but were lacking in substance and require an update to meet the standards the wiki it trying to uphold. Other than these, 271 pages were reviewed as below the quality that the wiki team is striving for and/or inappropriate for a wiki page, and will be deleted on the 28th of February, unless petitioned.
So! We, as the Wiki-Team, decided to give each player the chance to step in. All pages marked as "Requiring an Update" (91 pages) can be updated by a player and can be updated until the 26th of February to meet the new requirements and format. At the same time the 271 pages marked as "Deletion" can be protected by a player. How does that work? It's fairly simple a player will be asked to fill out a google form in which he states why a page shouldn't be deleted. The results are then being discussed by the members on this project and a final verdict is given on those pages.
As such here is a list of all pages marked as "Requiring an Update" (Page 1) or "Deletion" (Page 2): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HmbZ9Gi7fRoTUQO8GB2F6URk0q0v85Z6pdLq_N7HztU/edit?usp=sharing
You can also find the form to claim a page for an update here: https://forms.gle/pfUf5ipVnLbFejYd8
And the form to debate on a page's deletion can be found here: https://forms.gle/bMAh7Fu9d4dRBGWf7Also! If you need help figuring out what is exactly wrong with your Wiki Page/What needs to be fixed- Just check out the WIki Rulebook and it's towards the bottom: https://wikia.lordofthecraft.net/index.php?title=Wiki-Rulebook

The wiki is one of the only ways the human community has been able to keep track of their extremely extensive and complex history. Deleting all these pages will be a huge detriment to the tracking and keeping of human history. A lot of the characters on the list to be removed have been huge influences on human culture. This is blatant erasure of human culture and community. Do not do this. It’s not hurting anyone to have these pages up and readable. I promise you tons of them still get regularly referenced by human players.

For all the folks that aren’t in the LOTC-Discord (incl. New-Player-Discord):
Hello everyone!! As you may have noticed (or not) we have deleted/locked a majority of the Wiki-Accounts. The reason for such is because of the new updates that have been taking place over the last few weeks. Before we go into detail about the whole thing, I'll be showing you some statistics.
481 Accounts in General448 Inactive Accounts
33 Active Accounts6.8% of all Accounts are Active
Due to that fact that only 7% of all Accounts are Actively used we decided to take a big step and lock all of the inactive accounts. This is also a good time for us to introduce our new set of Rules and the new Guidelines in regards to Wiki-Pages! At the same time we also want to explain our new Application-System, which will allow you to request a Wiki-Account by filling in a google form. This would allow the Wiki-Members to collect and record information about who receives an account, while also getting to them more efficiently. In the future we will continue to do activity checks, removing accounts on a monthly base, depending on if they did at least 10 edits in the course of 30 days.
More information coming soon and for any concerns, simply send @TwistedFries a PM~
Updated Rules: https://wikia.lordofthecraft.net/index.php?title=Wiki-Rulebook
Updated Guideline for Wiki-Pages: https://wikia.lordofthecraft.net/index.php?title=Wiki-Guide
Application Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdOZYqee9JYwyW9doDrjMNzCsBJ_e6xyCikuyJJEDyMMQWteQ/viewform?usp=sf_link
Oh! And if you find a mistake with your account being locked and you wish for it to be unlocked, just fill in the application form as well. -

A problem with the old Navtables was how outdated (Many since 2018) they were, including information which weren’t valid since months and didn’t hold the new format. At the moment we are implementing a lot of changes, including a ticket-system for the Wiki, which will allow Nations to request new Navtables. Nation-Leaders are also receiving a PM from us, asking them to give us the new information that we need for the Navtables.
