  1. Justin started the wiki by signing up the space etc after we brain stormed the idea one night. But a large collection of moderators have built and cared for it over the years and while I have little to do with the game now I do keep an eye on it to ensure it stays running and true to it's purpose. We are working to address the funding issue... the wiki is not going to vanish. To much time, effort, and love of the game has been pored into that. It simply wouldn't be allowed to just fade away.

     

    But yes, that edit I made was true. It was made in haste due to the timing of when I got that mail and not wanting it to get missed. 

    Seems my absence has gone on long enough to no longer be readily known ;)

  2. Neverborn WEEK!

    The Ressers have had their week and left the wiki smelling like a fresh turned grave. It's time sharpen your claws and fangs everyone! That's right everyone, it's time for Neverborn Week over at http://pullmyfinger.wikispaces.com/.

    This means that for this entire week, we are pushing people to focus on completing the entries for any existing Neverborn model up through book 3. This includes Masters, Henchmen, Minions, Totems, and Avatars.

    So please, take a few minutes to head on over and give your favorite Neverborn model a once over. Think you know the Neverborn really well? Well this is your chance to prove it by writing up some tactica for your beloved models. Make some improvements, add further detail, correct spelling and grammar mistakes, etc. We can't do this without you, so please help us make the Wiki a better resource for all your Malifaux needs!

    Here is the updated schedule as promised:

    Current Schedule:

    • Guild: 9/3 - 9/9
    • Arcanist: 9/10 - 9/16
    • Ressers: 9/17 - 9/23
    • Neverborn: 9/24 - 9/30
    • Outcast: 10/1 - 10/7

    So spread the word! We need your help on this. This wiki is a Community project, it's built by you and up-kept by you. Without you, there would be no wiki. Take a few minutes a day to read over the entry of your favorite model. Make sure all the little tricks you know about are there and that the grammar, spelling, and content is of the highest level. If you notice something wrong, then don't just sit there...fix it!

    The Wiki lives and breaths for your benefit and through your efforts. We are not where we are through the efforts of just a few people. We are there through the efforts of 100's of people! So please, take 15 - 30 minutes out of your day and give us a hand again.

    Any way, please feel free to use this thread to discuss any changes, co-ordinate any of the work to be done, or simply to discuss the many virtues of pie!

    I'd also like to call out the Dreamer: http://pullmyfinger.wikispaces.com/The+Dreamer

    This little guy has seen a lot of changes during his time in Malifaux and his article has not kept up. Give him a careful once over and make sure to finish any in progress sections, remove the "working on" tags still in place and in general get him to the highly polished state we pride ourselves in!

  3. Alright your week is up! We've had a good number of edits but no where near what we need! We appreciate all the help that has been given and we hope you will continue to work on the articles as the weeks progress. Its never "you can only change things during this time", so please don't think the time has passed to help out! If you got a model you want to work on, why put it off?

  4. Resurrectionists WEEK!

    The Arcanists have had their week and it's time to move on to the toughest faction! That's right everyone, it's time for Resurrecitonists Week over at http://pullmyfinger.wikispaces.com/.

    This means that for this entire week, we are pushing people to focus on completing the entries for any existing Resurrecitonists model up through book 3. This includes Masters, Henchmen, Minions, Totems, and Avatars.

    So please, take a few minutes to head on over and give your favorite Resurrecitonists model a once over. Think you know the Resurrecitonists really well?

  5. It's 4 days in and it's looking very bleak for the Arcanists! We have only 4 edits (3 of them to the Arcanists main page) to the Arcanists.

    Come on Arcanists players, rally to your faction and show us what you know. Do you want to go down as this years least supported faction for the Wiki? We know there are some absolutely amazing Arcanists players out there who have a wealth of knowledge. Many of you have guided plenty of people before when it comes to learning their crew, we are asking you to help many more by sharing that knowledge and skill with the wiki.

    Don't bee fooled! Yes all the models have a page, but most of them are woefully unfinished or are not up to the Wiki's standard for completion.

    Take a look at the poor Slate Ridge Mauler: http://pullmyfinger.wikispaces.com/Slate+Ridge+Mauler. There is so much more that can be said about this cuddly model. Or the Silent One: http://pullmyfinger.wikispaces.com/Silent+One, or the Razorspine Rattler: http://pullmyfinger.wikispaces.com/Razorspine+Rattler. I hope your starting to see now that there is still a lot of work to be done on our beloved Arcanists. We need your help. We need your time, knowledge, and skill to help finish this project and pass on what we've all learned to new players to the Faction or even to new players to a single model.

    So please, spare an hour of your time the coming next few days and spend some time finishing up an Arcanists entry. We can't do this without you.

  6. I was curious about one thing while looking over the wiki recently, and that is: What is the policy on pictures? I notice a lot of the model entries are not accompanied by a picture of the model.

    Pictures we generally like to go with the Store photo for the model. Just copy it and upload it to the wiki and sesize it similiar to what we have. We don't really have a tight policy on this aspect though.

  7. ARCANISTS WEEK!

    Formatting went all wonky on me there!

    Any way, please feel free to use this thread to discuss any changes, co-ordinate any of the work to be done, or simply to discuss the many virtues of pie!

  8. Thank you everyone for your hard work during Guild Week! We made good strides towards completing the various Guild entries but there is still so much more work to be done. Don't just stop here, continue working at them. We appreciate all your help and hope you keep up the good work!

  9. Week is nearly half over and there have been only 11 edits total cross 5 models by just 2 people. Come on guild players, we need your help! We need your knowledge and skill to complete this project and drive the knowledge base.

    Please, take 30 minutes out of your day and work on your favorite Guild model's entry. This wiki is only as good as your all willing to make it. So if you want something better, if you want to see more information up there... what are you waiting for? Pick a model you know and get to it!

    If you have questions or concerns, feel free to start a discussion topic on the model and ask it. Or ask it here!

    Please, feel free to use this thread to co-ordinate any activity you wish for getting this project complete. If someone is really ambitious, post up a list of models you think need more attention on the Wiki. Have it and show us what you've got!

    Remember, your faction is the first up to bat so your setting the pace for everyone else. Isn't this the year of the Ram? Let's see some faction pride and dedication for you Guild players!

  11. Wiki Weekly Faction Cleanup

    Start Date: Monday August 27th

    We've nailed down the time to start the Weekly Faction Cleanup! The goal of this effort is to get every models entry up to snuff. For many models this entitles is reworking the entries after the FaQ was released. Others still have mostly blank entries that need a lot of loving. Still even more need editing for grammar, spelling, and content. So as you can guess, there is a lot of work to be done!

    The project is going to take place over 5 weeks, with each week being dedicated to a different faction. The idea is during that faction's week, the community will focus on model entries for that faction and go over them with a fine tooth comb. You can certainly work on other factions and models during that week though, so don't let that stop you!

    Current Schedule:

    • Guild: 8/27 - 9/2
    • Arcanist: 9/3 - 9/9
    • Resser's: 9/10 - 9/16
    • Neverborn: 9/17 - 9/23
    • Outcast: 9/24 - 9/30

    When each factions week is announced, we will also provide a short list of models that we think need specific attention. Either because they are not completed, are out-dated due to errata/FaQ, or are simply not up to our standards. This is to draw specific attention to them, but it is by no means the only entries that require attention.

    So spread the word! We need your help on this. This wiki is a Community project, it's built by you and up-kept by you. Without you, there would be no wiki. Take a few minutes a day to read over the entry of your favorite model. Make sure all the little tricks you know about are there and that the grammar, spelling, and content is of the highest level. If you notice something wrong, then don't just sit there... fix it!

    A common concern I hear from people is "I don't think I know the game/crew/model well enough to contribute". Let me clear this up for everyone, you don't have to be a 3 year veteran of the game to contribute to the wiki. You don't have to be 1 year veteran, heck you don't even have to be playing for 1 week. If you think you know what your talking about, and you've fact checked yourself against the rules and the forums... then help us out. There are plenty of models that need their most basic details added still and more the are in desperate need of further critical thought. The point is, there is always something you can contribute to/help out with. Don't be afraid of making mistakes, the community has your back :)

    The Wiki lives and breaths for your benefit and through your efforts. We are not where we are through the efforts of just a few people. We are there through the efforts of 100's of people! So please, take 15 - 30 minutes out of your day and give us a hand again.

    For you Podcasters out there, we are still looking for anyone willing to plug us! Drop me a PM and we can set something up to either record a quick bit or a post for your site etc. This is a great chance for you to help out the community.

  12. Announcement!

    Within the next week or two we are going to begin our yearly clean up of the Wiki! This is going to be done in much the same format as last year in which each week we will announce a faction to be targeted. We will include a list of models to that we think require specific attention and attempt to rally the community here and on the wiki to clean things up!

    The goal is to get every model up through book 3 (yes including Avatars) an entry that is up to the wiki's standards and contains the usual bacon flavored content you've all come to enjoy. We also realize a large number of entries are out of date due to the consolidated Errata's release. These will all require updating and tweaking. Some have to be heavily re-written (looking at you Dreamer!).

    We are going to be reaching out to several Podcasts in order to help spread the word. But if you are a Podcaster and you want to do us and the community a big favor by spreading the word.. drop me a line! We need to get this word out far and wide and we need Henchmen in particular to step up and drive further support from within their own groups!

    As always, the wiki lives and breaths to serve the community and the great fans of this game. Simply, WE NEED YOUR HELP! Take 10 minutes in the coming weeks and spend some time critically reading a models entry and lending a hand where you can.

    So please, spread the word and flex those fingers. We need everyone we can get to step up and lend a hand.

    The exact start date will follow shortly along with what faction will be the first on the block.

  13. I spoke to Eric about letting Pull My Finger host some of it, but it's not really gone any where. TBH I don't think it will really happen.

    We can get some of the fluff, such as the blurb before each model's rules but none of the actual story (as in word for word).
