News format and content guideline →

What belongs here? Any major changes of public interest in wiki infrastructure. Not so good additions: minor things related to one article ("I fixed a typo", "ID") plans for things yet to happen Good additions (non-exhaustive): "The guide XY has been rewritten and updated for new grinds" "Template Z now has a new parameter, which does the following: ..." "Template/Property A has been created/retired" "We now have completely covered piece of content Aleph"

General format The list isn't updated once per week. Add changes any time! Anyone can add an update. Normally the contributors themselves would record it, but if you feel something's missing feel free to add it! Feel brave to add stuff! It's better to removes things later than to miss potentially important info! The sections use weekly breaks. Simple but informative. Brevity and clarity! It's not necessary to date the changes beyond the weekly section. Naming the contributor also isn't mandatory but is accepted (e.g. if you wish to thank somebody) Sub-headers Technical and Game-related should be self-explanatory. If you find something not fitting in either, don't hesitate to use a more fitting one!

Technical:

This article is incomplete. You can help the Fallen London Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Add what happened between April and June

Week of 2025-01-01

Technical:

• Various changes to {{Quality}} and {{Item}}:
  • Quality now uses the collapsible lists for Gains and Loses
  • Quality no longer uses the `Raise` or `Lower` parameters, the lists are automatically added if any pages have the property. If there's no recorded source it adds the same "no documented sources" text as Item.
  • Quality has a new `Directly set` parameter to change the "raises/lowers this quality" text for qualities where that isn't a meaningful description.
  • Item now adds a challenges list for the handful of items that are used directly for challenge difficulty.
  • The "no documented sources" text has been clarified for Fate items/qualities, and for qualities modified by equipment items.
