DoomWiki Months in Review (Issue #50)

[Xymph]

You think you know the pattern, right? Slow month, busy month, right? Well, not this time, September saw a decent pace on the Doom Wiki, but October less so. Partly due to real life interfering with wiki activity for some regulars, but it could also be an indication of the wiki's maturity, as evidenced by the redlinks (wanted pages) count slowly shrinking to 1,340, quite likely the lowest figure in a decade. Though of course a wiki is the kind of project that's never really finished. :)

 

And so Gauss continued walking through the second half of Claustrophobia 1024 and most of its sequel; map pages for all of RAMP 2023 were created complete with secrets by Getsu Fune/NMM (who sustained her usual pace too) and soundtrack descriptions by Gregor; Nockson worked on editors, tools and more; Dynamo on launchers and some more Doom II screenshots; and so on. There also was an extensive discussion regarding self-promotion and notability of persons and mods, and I took care of some long-standing, mundane maintenance tasks.

For the record, shoutouts to Nockson for indirectly doing me a massive favour and adding 10 Line Genocide maps to the pages of everyone who participated when I was going to do that myself!

 

Note: Additionally sorry for igniting seemingly a bit of a self-promo problem by having the idea of using a user page as an unofficial Wiki page 😅
