Doom Wiki Month in Review (Issue #1)

[Quasar]

This is going to be a quick review of the new stuff that hit the wiki during April (and the first couple days of May). If this is reasonably popular, I might do it regularly.

 

Core Articles

Core content saw additions to classic Doom, Doom 2016, and a significant number of expanded universe and merchandise articles:

• Doom II monster exclusion bug
• Doom Slayer life-size figure (special thanks to Buckshot for donating the pic)
• Doom: The Board Game (covering the 2016 release)
• Bethesda Pinball
• Gaming Heads Doomguy collectible - covering the brand-new toy release...
• Doomguy collectible - ...and the in-game item it was based on.
• Abraham Peters - the protagonist of Doom VFR

 

People

A few people articles were created, including two of the modern id devs:

• Emil Brundage (NaturalTvventy)
• Nicolas Monti
• Marty Stratton
• Hugo Martin

 

Mods

Thanks to a few of our regulars, including especially Xymph (Frans P. de Vries) of /idgames fame, we get a large number of new mod and level articles every month; April was no exception. A large number of Kaiser's works were documented, in particular, amongst others:

• Shrine of the Warriors
• Not Another E1 Wad
• Not Another E3 Wad
• Internal Reaches 2
• Internal Reaches 4
• Kaiser 3
• Kaiser 16
• Their Selfish Realms
• Nickel Electroplate Facility
• Rage Doom
• Blockrocking Beats
• The Green Machine
• NJ Doom
• The Community is falling!! Oh No!!!
• Crusader
• Palladium Electroplate Facility
• The Attraction to All Things Uncertain
• Halo Of Wonders
• Chainmill
• ToxicHole
• The Cursed Generation
• Supernaught
• CrossFire
• Boom Edit Example Wad (aka BOOMEDIT.WAD)

@Kaiser make more maps please.

This is a great round-up. I'd certainly appreciate follow ups if you are willing.

[Catpho]

Cool! This gives me more motivation to contribute somehow :P

I never noticed on how there wasnt a boomedit article until now too. What were we doing????

[Deadwing]

That's awesome, I definetly would like to see this more regularly :D

[Tristan]

I need to finish 32in24-5. Also anything that highlights the hard work that is put into the wiki is very much welcomed, would love to see more of these retrospectives. Xymph and NuMetalManiak have been OP on map articles in recent months.

[Aquila Chrysaetos]

It'd be really nice to see what the Wiki is up to on a monthly basis. I approve of this.

I'm always surprised what holes we have to fill. There wasn't a boomedit, but there still isn't an mbfedit!, nor Len Pitre.

On a related note, WantedPages is currently sitting at 4467 entries as of this post. It was over 5000 around this time last year!

Those regulars, they just keep on shoveling!

Heh. It's only because of the size of the job -- the community is very prolific and has been for 20+ years, so there's a lot to write up. The flip side is that when a new contributor comes along, there's probably some topic they really like which hasn't been added yet. :>

I just appear at random if you must know.

This is a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this. Great links to learn from.
