| WIKISEEDs are brief blurbs of information intended as a "seed" for Mistipedia.
| | #REDIRECT [[Mistipedia:WIKISEED]] |
| | |
| Mistipedia was first created from the database of the [http://fraternityofshadows.com/rldb Ravenloft Catalogue]. In the Catalogue, each entry has a "See also" field with short descriptions of how that entry relates to other entries. For Example:
| |
| | |
| [[Strahd]]'s "See Also" field in the Catalogue:<br/>
| |
| | |
| {|border=1
| |
| |[[Vampire]]<br/>
| |
| Darklord of [[Barovia]]<br/>
| |
| Resident of [[Castle Ravenloft]]<br/>
| |
| Brother of [[Sergei]] and [[Sturm von Zarovich]]<br/>
| |
| Hunts for [[Tatyana Federovna]] in her incarnations
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| This got imported into [[Strahd]]'s Mistipedia wiki page as the following WIKISEEDs:<br/>
| |
| | |
| {|border=1
| |
| |WIKISEED FROM CATALOGUE : [[Vampire]](Please edit freely, then remove this note and WIKISEED label)<br/>
| |
| WIKISEED FROM CATALOGUE : Darklord of [[Barovia]](Please edit freely, then remove this note and WIKISEED label)<br/>
| |
| WIKISEED FROM CATALOGUE : Resident of [[Castle Ravenloft]](Please edit freely, then remove this note and WIKISEED label)<br/>
| |
| WIKISEED FROM CATALOGUE : Brother of [[Sergei]] and [[Sturm von Zarovich]](Please edit freely, then remove this note and WIKISEED label)<br/>
| |
| WIKISEED FROM CATALOGUE : Hunts for [[Tatyana Federovna]] in her incarnations(Please edit freely, then remove this note and WIKISEED label)<br/>
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| The intent is that someone will come along and edit Strahd's page into a coherent article at some point. Until then, the WIKISEEDs will act as placeholders and a temporary source of info. '''''Once the wiki page is written, and all information from the WIKISEEDs is included, the WIKISEEDs are no longer necessary and should be removed'''''.
| |
| | |
| For example, [[Strahd]]'s WIKISEEDs were converted into this initial entry, ready for further expansion:
| |
| {|border=1
| |
| |Count Strahd von Zarovich is the [[Vampire]] [[darklord]] of [[Barovia]]. He rules the land publicly from [[Castle Ravenloft]] as Strahd XI, supposedly a descendant of Strahd I, but actually the same man. He once had two brothers, [[Sergei]] and [[Sturm von Zarovich]], but killed [[Sergei]] on his wedding day in an attempt to claim [[Sergei]]'s bride, [[Tatyana Federovna]]. This is the final act that caused him to become the first known [[darklord]]. He is now cursed to hunt and lose [[Tatyana]]'s frequent reincarnations.
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| More WIKISEEDs will be added as further sources of info (such as [[Joël Paquin]]'s [[http://fraternityofshadows.com/Mausoleum/List_Canon_Fanmade_Ravenloft.xls List of Canon and Noncanon Ravenloft Material]]) are auto-imported into the wiki.
| |
| | |
| In brief: '''Don't leave redundant WIKISEEDs lying around.''' (Not a big deal, really, but the sooner we clean them up, the sooner Mistipedia will look like a "real wiki" and not so computer-generated.) Happy Editing!
