Today is apparently…that day so I figured I’ll make this a wiki update. Just to be clear, the next one might be in two days.
Finally…I managed to line it up with a day where something happens!

So! Let’s get into it!

• I finished upgrading all the images.
• I noticed a few of the articles I intended to publish I…didn’t. So I fixed that.
• Slightly re-wrote the Vampires article because it was bad. I also added a bit more onto it.
• Removed the dotted line that appears under tags.
• I added creator article links to the index pages.
• It came to my attention that the banner images were being blocked when using a specific blocklist, so I moved them. This should have fixed the problem.
• I realized that anonymous users (anyone who isn’t logged in) lacked access to the search bar among other things, so I re-enabled that. You can now search the wiki.
• I moved storytelling theory from the Musings section to the Media section, since it was more appropriate.
• While I was at it, I renamed the media section to ‘story’ considering the number of story articles is increasing.
• I went ahead and changed how I handle spacing.
• I switched from using ‘single quotes’ to “double quotes”. Though this change will be rolled out gradually and not immediately visible.
  • Single quotes are still used for individual words or terms.
• I re-arranged parts of the story section to account for terminology changes.
• I moved ‘Units of Measurement’ from the History & Philosophy section to the Misc Musings section.
• Other things I can’t think of.

Compared to the last update, this is an increase of about 49 articles, though I’m apparently not listing all of those that I added here…since I’m only counting 33. Oh, well.
The total, as of me writing this is 236 which I think is nice.

At a later stage…l-later stage between the last update and this one…but not the latest stage…yeah.
Anyway! I decided that it would make more sense to prioritize shorter complete articles…and release those ASAP…so that’s what I did. I went thru the sitemap and found anything that was short but readable and made them public.

That’s why, if you were frequenting the wiki (for some reason…) you may have noticed a slight boost at one point from 200 to 211.

After I decided on a specific ‘release-date’ for this update, I decided to apply the same thinking to some media articles that didn’t exist yet (or did in a limited form). So as per my effort to rid myself of the playground…I started releasing a few articles.
These won’t have any banner images for a while, though I’m not sure for how long. My priority currently in life isn’t the wiki and my priorities in the wiki are focused on publishing as many of the former playground articles as possible.

Articles that fall into this category specifically include: The Big Short, TRON, Star Wars, SIGNAL LOST, Better than Adventure.

After a long time, I finally released the article on Storytelling Theory. I think it’ll serve as the foundation for all other story-related stuff on the wiki. Though it’s still a little messy, I think it’s readable enough.

Besides that, I’ve defined Theme, Element, Character, Subject and Genre though it took a while. I think the terms are clear and atomic enough to be useful.
Oh, right, I also added the Mecha article, but I gotta fix it up a little first.

This is its own section because I consider it that important. I released an article on SocJus, which is known by many names which include: wokeism, leftism, progressivism among many others.

I’m also a little nervous about releasing it, but still felt it was a good idea.

I consider it one of my best works, though it’s still a little messy because, at this point, I have to admit I’m not very good at writing. Though! I did my best.
It’s likely to be controversial and, well, that’s fine…I guess.

My biggest concern is actually that it might distract from everything else on the wiki which I really don’t want.

I added another section to the Death Note article, since I figured I should explain myself on one point…
That being the bus hijacking. The reason why I’m explaining myself is due to the realization most people don’t see any issue with it.

I added Warcraft Retcons and Forgotten Elements of Warcraft. These are pretty self-explanatory and they’ll be gradually added to.

I updated the Windows Ricing article so it’s finally up-to-date and possibly useful.

To elaborate a little on my current approach to writing stuff on here…which I didn’t really do in the previous update…
Previously, I used to put a lot of content on the wiki, not just wiki stuff. I treated it basically like a personal notebook, but then realized that that wasn’t quite ideal.
Somewhat recently (possibly a few months ago) I discovered Obsidian and found that that was way better suited to my personal notebooks approach.

So something I had sorta decided on was that my Obsidian vault would be a much looser and less focused version of this wiki…with the content from the vault gradually making its way on here. This is partially the reason I’m focusing so much on all those playground articles: I want to reduce the playground as much as possible, so I can properly adopt this approach.
It’s dawning on me now, for example, that I actually had a little more written in Obsidian for something that got turned into an article…but I just forgot about it.

I had recently taken a look at the Marvel Wiki article on Mary Jane and, well, I was less than pleased with what I was reading.
So I’ll quickly express something here before the inevitable Marvel and Spider-Man articles…oh, before that, I should note that I’m not a comics guy, mostly down to it being kinda daunting to enter as a beginner.
I think Marvel’s biggest issue is that they just don’t want to end a story (besides the other issues). Though MJ specifically experienced an obvious character assassination, which was after that awful arc that I keep reading about (at this point 17 years old).
Marvel should just scratch everything and start over. In the sense that they should create an ending for all the current story arcs and then just start all over again.

Though, since I wrote that, I did start reading the Spider-Man comics and I was enjoying myself a lot. But I’ve taken a small break from reading it because there’s a lot.

Tolkien might make his way onto this wiki since I decided to take a break from Spider-Man specifically to focus a little on Tolkien‘s stuff.

I’ve been reading The Hobbit and it’s quite nice. Plus I’ve been re-watching the films.

Since it’s such a nice picture, I may as well link to the source. It’s CC0, but I figured I may as well anyhow.
