Changelog 2021-10-08

This week we polished our two experimental features and declared them 'ready to go'. This means that from now on, you'll get the table of contents instead of the index of your wiki has no Start page, and the backlinks page is now available for everyone that can view a wiki page.

This week's blog post covers 5 Tips for running scary encounters

Wiki - Table of Contents

  • If a wiki has no Start page, you will now be redirected to the table of contents instead of the index. The table of contents is a better starting location if you want to read up.
  • The table of contents now has a navigation bar at the top to to quickly jump to any of the categories in the table of contents.
  • Added actual display for table of content category tags. Now any tag with the 'Table of Content Category' special ability will get it's own category display in the wiki's table of contents.
  • Added a listing of Used Tags at the bottom of the table of contents. This addition helps to make tags a little more visible and navigable, without intruding on the main purpose of the table of contents.
  • Descriptions are now shown for every table of content category that has some form of description (things like pople, or a tag category with a description on the tag). This improves the table of contents a lot by offering a short explanation of what the category means.
  • Added additional links to several table of contents categories to improve discoverablility and navigability of the wiki overall.
    • The schema categories now link to the index. For example, the People category now has a link to the People Index which.
    • The tag categories now link to the tag page for that tag.
    • The "Used Tags" category links to the Tag overview for the campaign.
  • Several small styling and text tweaks to the Wanted Pages overview. This brings the wanted pages overview in line with the other wiki gardening and overview pages.
  • Categorize backlinks based on where they are coming from. There are categories for each wiki (setting, rules, notes), a forum category, and an other category.
  • Applied proper grouping to the backlinks, which helps when checking if certain pages are linking to the page you're inspecting correctly.
  • Additional information for a backlink, such as the 'via Residence field' part for example, are now sorted correctly. This makes sure that the parts are always in the same order, which eases reading them.
  • Backlinks coming from the Forums are now hanlded more intelligently.
    • Many posts using the same mask in a thread will now be merged into a single backlink entry to the thread.
    • Posts from the same thread will now be ordered newest first.

Fixed Bugs

  • Fixed a bug that caused links to specific forum posts to not link to that specific post in the thread in certain circumstances. This has been fixed, and all links to a specific post should correctly jump to that post now.
