A wiki's organsation as established by its category structure is critical to being able to prepare included articles in a way that maximises information accessibility and content structure across pages.
More to come.
2024 status report
I think the author of this thread expresses the kind of sentiment surrounding the IB series and its community that lays the foundation from which to find interest to contribute to the wiki.
I was an active staff member on this wiki back in 2013. At the time, I edited this page giving a brief overview of how following a wiki forking, a new group of editors (of which I was a part of) had started on a "quest of restoration", and that this would be accomplished through a number of "mission objectives" that I'd laid out.
The short story is that over a decade later, I stumbled upon this page and rediscovered these mission objectives that I'd long since forgotten, and on further inspection of the wiki, the disappointing reality is that we never even got close to completing them. A summary as follows:
- Developing equipment type articles with data tables displaying all inventory items for immediate comparison
- Deleting most individual item articles as all their relevant information is merged into the above
- Uploading high quality sprite images for inventory items (we made some progress with these)
- Determining a consistent file naming system
- Titan pages (we made some progress with these)
- Establishing an organised category system and pausing adding categories until this is completed
- Deleting the existing mess of categories that were instead incorrectly being used like tags
- Creating new pages for introduced features of IB3 (this game remaining largely neglected)
I found myself spurred on by the activity of longstanding fans who still participate in the community on the Infinity Blade Discord server, and being experienced managing wikis for a very long time, I want to finish what was started all those years ago. At least, get further than we did in the past, because the Infinity Blade series really does deserve the love its many fans have shown towards it even after all these years. And to me, developing a game's wiki as a fan - which is used by many fans alike - is such a lasting contribution one can make that can tangibly help others share in the experience of enjoying the game by one's enrichment in knowledge of it. It's why I'm not done just yet.
