Notable Article of Interesting Interest

Ruby Quest is an ongoing series of threads chronicling the interactive adventures of the titular protagonist Ruby. Cue madness, horror, and Wild Mass Guessing the likes of which /tg/ has never before seen.

Important Note

This isn't a fucking who's who tripfag directory, before anyone gets any ideas. No pages dedicated to them, on pain of Wikifag getting really angry and then crying because he has no idea what he's doing.

Another Important Note

If you have too much money on your hands, we are now donation enabled.

Yet Another Note

Sometime over the next few days the site will be migrating to a slightly better server, so some downtime will result, both during the process and probably afterwards while waiting for DNS migration and what have you.

Important Note To People Using 1d4chan as Hosting For Exalted (or whatever) Campaigns/Character Sheets

Although I am perfectly happy for you to do so, you guys have this tendency to leave orphaned pages floating all over the place. For reference:

Your Campaign overpage should be located at "Campaign: Whatever It's Name Is"
Your character sheets should be located at "Campaign: Whatever It's Name Is/Whatever Their Name Is"
Your campaign overpage should link to all the associated characters, and the character pages should link back to their campaign overpage. This prevents your pages showing up on the Orphaned Pages/Dead-End Pages listing and getting in the way of articles that actually need attention.

At some point (but probably not soon) I'm going to go through and delete the random character pages with no obvious connection to their parent campaigns, so this is your warning. If you need your characters saved, move them to the appropriate places. If you have character/campaign pages that have become useless for whatever reason (like the campaign died or whatever) and you have no pressing need to keep them for posterity, please put a {{deletion}} template on the page so I know they can be safely removed.

Useful Things You Can Do

Wikis aren't self-cleaning, unfortunately. If you have free time and nothing better to do with it, checking these lists and fixing up the problems with pages contained therein is extremely helpful.

Broken Redirects - Find out what page they're meant to redirect to and fix it, or else slap a {{deletion}} on the page if they're truly useless.
Dead-end Pages - Dead-end pages have no links to other pages in the wiki, ruining the browsing experience. Fix them up so that important words link to their relevant pages, and consider adding relevant "See Also" entries.
Double Redirects - Double redirects are redundant. Fix them so that the first redirect goes to the intended page.
Orphaned Pages - Orphaned pages are those which are not linked to by any other page and are thus unlikely to be found by a browsing user. Consider adding them to the See Also section of relevant pages, and making links to the page in the main text of other articles.
[[::Category:Stubs|Stubs]] - Stubs are pages that are too short to do justice to their subject material. Expand them.
Wanted Pages - Wanted pages are linked to by other pages but don't yet exist. Create them, even if all you write is a short stub, as others are more likely to flesh out a page properly once it actually exists (but make sure that the page doesn't already exist under a slightly different name first).
