What belongs here?

Any major changes of public interest in wiki infrastructure.
Not so good additions:

  • plans for things yet to happen

Good additions (non-exhaustive):

  • "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:

  • {{Agent Report}} is now used for storylets on the Agent page. This takes care of several "transform this page to use the proper template" to do's.

Week of 2025-04-14[edit]

Technical:

  • {{Gain}} and {{Loss}} now use a single special message parameter instead of separate parameters for each type of message.

Technical:

  • {{Variant table}} now detects more instances of missing variant text, detects unknown text-affecting qualities, and supports the compact parameter for Quality condition type.

Week of 2025-01-01[edit]

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.
