Oh hey, @Dragonfly got a page! Congrats dude. :D

[Quasar]

Almost forgot I really wanted to mention that Masters of Doom was also updated with info on the new Maestros del Doom Spanish language edition.

• Doom: Totally Unauthorized Tips & Secrets - Period strategy guide by Robert Waring

I'm continuing on my bizarre and unnecessary quest to purchase and document every 90s strategy guide.

I created the "Carmack's Typo" page because I wanted to own someone (@jmickle66666666? @anotak?) with my bottomless well of Doom trivia, but could not immediately find the bit of information I was looking for through a Google search. I thought "why isn't there's just a Doom Wiki page for this?" then realized that I, too, can edit a publicly editable wiki, and in fact should do so if I have a topic that has not been formally documented!

[Catpho]

The more extremely basic people pages the better :)

[Dragonfly]

A massive thanks to @Catpho for the wiki page and @Eris Falling for the updates. Checking my pms and seeing "hey I made a page all about you" put a massive smile on my face, thanks for that! :)

As of about 30 seconds ago, the 3 heures d'agonie series from the French Doom community has completed WAD overview pages (1, 2, 3), with map articles for the first already generated thanks to Xymph's amazing bot!

IMO contemporary tactical approaches absolutely belong on the wiki, especially differences between corporate and crowdsourced viewpoints (Usenet, BBSes, lanparties, ...). Naturally we would note how DWF later settled all conflicts via neuromotor pluralism. :>

Wiki page about all Dragonfly's works is that i really need. Cool.

[Gez]

I think I was the first to use that phrasing when I put it as a preset in SLADE's colorimetry settings.

It's authored by Jon Landis, who ended up contributing to Strain, and was prominent in the early mapping scene (since his maps/midis ended up in the Heroes compilation), so he is fairly notable.
