Significant changes in the game itself can be found on the Fallen London Timeline.

Changes in 2022 can be found on a subpage.

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!

  • The wiki now aims to match the game's base value for narrow challenges (50% instead of 60%). Just about all of the relevant action & guide pages have been adjusted, though there's likely other places in need of correction too.

  • Module:Challenge's Narrow challenge section now has a "scaller" parameter for when quality = diff is not 60%, e.g. Aboard the Delight actions. ({{ChallengeSection}} and {{Action}} modified accordingly.)

  • New template: {{Splitmerge}}, used to clarify that a page on the wiki isn't precisely mimicking its in-game counterpart. Links to the page below.
  • New technical page: Fallen London Wiki:Structural Disparities
  • {{IL}} now has a "Small" parameter, forcing the linked file to use its "small.png" version.
