DoomWiki Month in Review (Issue #34)

Xymph · December 1, 2021

16K and 32K may be all the rage, but at the one true wiki we celebrated breaking the 2K barrier -- downwards. :-) That is, from 4000 in May 2018, to 2700 in May 2020, to 2200 last month, the Wanted Pages count dropped down to a little above 1900 during November. Besides regular creation of new articles to expand the wiki's coverage, a major factor was that I decided in October to generate map articles for a bunch of existing WADs for which a custom things mapping table is still needed, after occasional attention to this need resulted in few contributions there. Now at least hundreds more maps are covered, except for their Things statistics. Of course, mapping assistance remains welcome to complete that final step.

The wiki was hopping along nicely in other areas too, with Dynamo128 covering Hacx ammo and item articles, Gauss is walking through 1000 Line Community Project, and Getsu Fune/NuMetalManiak covered secrets in three dozen WADs -- and also uploaded a gazillion screenshots to Doom: The Golden Souls and The Golden Souls 2 maps (okay, I counted: 180 and 340, respectively). Finally, Quasar tortured himself with the 3.7 (IMDb score) movie that shall not be named in this sentence. ;-)
