DoomWiki Month in Review (Issue #45)


Xymph

Recommended Posts

Happy New Year, too! As always, December was a hectic month at the real Doom Wiki, because... you know... Cacowards. Right. As usual, several regular and new contributors, including Dynamo, Endless, Gregor and myself, got cracking on covering the recipients soon after the ceremony was published. A flurry of mod and people articles resulted, but other contributors kept plugging away at a variety of new and improved content too. Eris Falling/Tristan made good progress for a while in adding soundtrack credits to map pages (although there are thousands more you could help with); of course GF/NMM delivered more secret descriptions in spades (ok, for 30 WADs if you must know); and Gauss continues plodding and plotting their way through BTSX-E1. And there's more, but I'll wrap this up in case you still have a hangover, or fireworks ringing in your ears.

 

The entirety of 2022 was also an excellent year, you can read a bit more about that here. The only thing we'd want to go down but that has gone up, is the number of Wanted Pages (redlinks), because several megawads listed below haven't gotten their map pages yet. That count went from fewer than 1400 to 1630. All in good time...

Yes, 150 or so down, only another 6000 to go... I was trying to get into a routine of spending like 15-30 minutes a day on it, which should gradually whittle the list down, I'll see if I can pick that back up again

Actually, closer to 400 out of the 432 entries linked there, which made it worthwhile to mention. Had a feeling that building up a routine was the intention, so hopefully you can resume. But even then, as you note, the backlog is huge, so help from others would be welcome. Although the category also includes quite a few WADs for which the soundtrack is not listed in the main article or its documentation, so that raises researching obstacles.
