Weekly Wiki Update - Saturday, August 9th 2014.

So this week even though I still did not have very much time, I made sure to set some aside to do some extra work on the wiki. This is my last week for work being super busy, so very soon I will fully be back in wiki edit mode.

So my wife recently acquired a PC compilation that has 20 games that all have some kind of hidden object component to them. She happened to pick a random one to play and it just happened to be a Picross game with hidden object elements to it. I have given myself a personal goal to beat every Picross game I come across, and I have also taken it upon myself to add a ton of hidden object games to the wiki so you can imagine my surprise when we ran across Arizona Rose and the Pirates Riddle.

I also just got a new Android phone so I have been checking out some games available and for whatever reason decided that I was going to work on the Pac-Man Dash! page, which was completely empty.

This week I also went through like I do every once in a while and tried to clean out some of the iOS games from the iPod platform. I wonder if there might be a better way to get across the fact that the iPod platform is not for iPod Touch but only the iPod Classic with the click-wheel.

Steam Trading Cards

This week in the world of Steam Trading Cards was fairly slow and not too exciting. Some pretty run of the mill stuff and mobile ports. This week also saw much less games adding cards than the past few.

As always here is a list of games that I had to add:

• Stonerid
• Crazy Plant Shop
• Memories of a Vagabond
• The Maker’s Eden
• OTTTD

So there you have it with another week down on what I have been up to on the wiki. My plan for next week is to get working on filling out as many pages in my list of created pages as I possibly can. I am also going to try and keep an eye out for some wiki pages that maybe need some attention and maybe some that are great examples and do a little something with them.

Also for you wiki editors out there that may have not seen the blog post from Jeff, he posted about what to do with parodies or unlicensed appearances of characters with some great discussions going on.

Anyone else out there doing some wiki work, let us know what you have been working on or if you have any topics that should be brought up.

Eh, usual mischief. I'm almost done with November '93's US Block (there's usually an equal amount of games that were first released in the US and first released in Japan) and it's mostly filling in the blank pages of sports and licensed games. Japan Block's way more fun, and there's Illusion of Time and Equinox coming up so I'm pretty stoked.

But for now, I've still got to do... let's see... The Lawnmower Man and Time Slip. Great.

I suspect Jeff's announcement came about due to him filling in wrestler pages over the weekend. I hope this means more wiki interest from the staff in the weeks to come, but we're getting awfully close to the end of the games drought and yesterday proved that the engineers have enough to do without worrying about a huge wiki update. Still, here's hoping.

Created some new character pages for Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax and Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Out of Order. I need to add some photos to all those characters pages. Also made a page for UE4 game Pneuma: Breath of Life which was announced this week for PC and Xbox One.

Not much just a few edits, misspellings, a few associations, tense corrections that sort of thing.

@mento: I would really love to see more interest in the wiki come through from the staff. I feel like maybe more people would be working on it if it were a regularly discussed thing. For that matter at least call something out when they notice it needs to be worked on because I feel like that would cause people to flock to certain things to appease them.

@bobafettjm: Sorry, I am guilty of listing iPod Touch games as iPod :( I didn't realise that was incorrect.

@beachthunder: I think it is just not communicated very often. I also think there should just be an iOS platform at this point to cause less confusion. I did not realize the iPod platform was only for click wheel games until I went to the page one day to do something and noticed it said that.
