The Telarapedia (RIFT wiki) needs your help

[Ciovala]

I'm not a big fan of promoting and advertising, but I thought it was time to make a post in light of the NDA being dropped (for the first three betas anyway).

For those who don't know, the Telarapedia is a wiki for RIFT. A wiki is a collaborative type of site for all sorts of information that anyone can edit and contribute to. It was started back in June 2009 when the game was called Heroes of Telara and has seen a lot of changes! We have information on all of the soul trees, a large list of guilds, and much more.

Since the NDA has dropped partially there is even more work to be done to help get everything up to date and current. Quite a few people have been editing lately, but it's truly a massive amount of work to do this. I personally do a lot of editing, but I'm also working full time and going to school and occasionally have to focus on real life. ;) I'd definitely like to thank all of the contributors over the past 1.5 years, as the wiki would be a shadow of what it is today without your help.

The current projects are to update the following:

• Soul abilities
• Crafting pages
• Add more lore snippets from what we've seen in game
• Basic updating

I've also started on some forms to make it much easier to add and edit information. The main thing to remember is not to worry about messing pages up, and to be bold.

Lastly I'll be working on a lighter themed skin for those who don't like dark ones, but it will take some time. The same goes for changing some of the blue colouring that stands out a bit too much! Thanks again for your time and support!

I don't suppose adding a stub in there for Alsbeth and adding in the entry "annoying b***h" quite counts as a valid entry into the Telarapedia does it....


I thought not.

I do wanna do something on her though, but I cannot think of how to word it where it will not come out sounding subjective, instead of "objective and definitive".

Check out the pages on riftgame.com. Lore from the beta's I guess would work out as well.

I will do what I can

Keep up the good work, Ciovala!

I can help, I'll help fix up the chloromancer section of abilities. When beta 4 starts I well send you a full list of skills. I'll help with the whole mage section.

EDIT: Also I do not see the pvp souls, i'll give you info of that when beta 4 starts as well.

Basically I'll help with the mage souls.

Do you need help generating a list or map points of artifacts? I'd be willing to contribute to that - but having that information available would spoil the fun for some =/

I am afraid of messing things up, but may try to help.

On the lore topic, I added more info to the Vigil pages after beta since there were NPCs in Sanctum who talk about them. Plus, you get lots of cool stuff via collections that has lore stuff - that can also be used and just reference the item for example.

Wow great stuff, thanks! Make sure for new souls and updates to copy what was started on the Chloro page (I have made templates for abilities to make it much easier to add them), as it will make your life easier.

I believe someone added a partial amount from the Infiltrator PvP soul, so yeah a lot of work there.

Well people don't have to look it up... It's something that needs to be done and someone will do it some day, so it sounds like a great idea and I'll help how I can. There are no restrictions for the wiki other than stuff that is against the NDA or EULA, etc.

Don't worry too much, honestly. Everyone starts somewhere.. I'd hardly used a wiki 2 years ago and now look where I am!

Unfortunately for me I might miss the next beta event since I have to write a 3500 word paper in the next 7 days... go me! Means more work the following week...

Contributing as I can. Only change so far was a correction to The Kelari High Priestess' name.

I'll do what I can to update some of the Cleric soul trees. I'll start with the ones that are of interest to me (Warden , Justicar, Inquisitor, Purifier).

Thanks for the work on Telarapedia!

Ciovala,

As I was updating the abilities for the Warden soul tree, I noticed that Cooldown is not included as one of the stats on the wiki. In my opinion, this is a critical number to include. I really need to know if a Cooldown is 15 seconds, 1 minute, or 5 minutes when I'm planning out a character's powers.

I will wait for your approval, but I would like to try adding another column and including Cooldown for the Warden. If it works ok, I'll add Cooldown for the rest of the Cleric classes I contribute to.

Thanks again,
-Ax

Hi there!

Yes those are old tables. If you check the templates I've made since that work was done there is a cooldown column. Of course, that means redoing all of the old pre-template tables... The Chloromancer page is using the template (the mage one at least).

Good stuff!

[KrodinBataak]

Bump for great justice!
