Page for Securing Your Home

I would like a page to summarize the current siege mechanics. Let me know if this already exists, I couldn't find it. Important things to have on the page:

  • how do the siege weapons interact with each other / with hearthlings / with normal buildings / with claim objects?
  • how do the different types of claims interact with each other?
  • common security mistakes to watch out for
  • locks / keys / gate / visitor gates rules
  • drying times of all relevant siege weaponry
  • vulnerability windows for claim objects and siege weapons

A lot of this info already exists on separate pages, I just think there should be a summary page linking to all the relevant security pages. Phaen (talk) 19:28, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

There is no summarize page for current siege mechanics. Feel free to start one. --.MvGulik. 02:50, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Update to home page--"unofficial"

Probably a good idea to make sure it's clear that this is an unofficial wiki that is supported by the players, not an official wiki that the devs keep updated. It might generate a few more people interested in providing information, fixing pages, and uploading images. (It might also eliminate many of the "wiki is wrong, therefore it's a bug" posts.

Thought I'd ask about this update before simply implementing the correct to get some input on the matter. (Also posting the same question on the forums.)

Related sub-title added. Re-adjust if needed. Could potentially be templated if there is a need to add/use it on more pages. --.MvGulik. 03:01, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Old stuff

(going to be evaluated, and moved or removed) --.MvGulik. 06:50, 17 March 2020 (EDT)
Should it rather be removed at once, as it's still stored in history, instead of flagging it "This is outdated" and/or striking out, which is popular?
With "it" I assume you mean the talk stuff and not the main-page content (it helps to be specific).
I will take a look at it later on. (Talk pages have no pressing cleanup priorities)

British v American

In case of general "British v American" language follow ups. (preferably here)
- infobox, water, liter.

Just dumping this here for the moment.

Not sure if that "How quality works" is still relevant. "Beginner Guide to Village Roles" seems not time sensitive.
Going more general. Currently the guide section on the main RoB homepage has 4 lines. And adding one line more seems not a real problem. But that don't changes the inherent low available space on the subject. The "Other Guides" link on the RoB homepage is one solution, but is limited in editing/updating by forum-post creator. An alternative could of course be to setup a dedicated RoB page with links to (potential) forum guide topics (and potential individual posts if warranted) --.MvGulik. 05:22, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Legacy/updated pages

I think it's been long enough and everything I've ran across has been moved to a "Legacy:<page>" and the page updated to information relative to the current world. Might be worth it to update the "legacy" banner to read more appropriately such as

"The RoB Wiki currently hosts information for both the current Haven & Hearth world as well as the legacy server. Please be aware that information relating to legacy should be found on pages with "legacy" in the name. While our editors have done their best to get things sorted, please be aware there may be some pages that haven't been moved properly and may still be flagged that the information is legacy and may not apply to the current world."

I'm not the best writer when it comes to passing on this kind of information, but I think I am getting the general idea across. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MagicManICT (talk • contribs) 26 September 2016‎

Updated the general legacy header with the suggested text. --.MvGulik. 04:21, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Remove the GLoSQ link?

The forum post for the Grand List of Simple Questions has essentially been deleted, with venatorvenator replacing his posts with 'Oh boy was this outdated'. Is there still enough information in this thread, and is it worth the effort of having people try to skim through it to find that information, to merit it being linked on the wiki's front page anymore? If not we should probably remove it. --Frission (talk) 14:43, 31 May 2017 (EDT)

It's not so much that the GLoSQ should be read or skimmed, but it should be known that it is used to post simple questions instead of making one line threads in the HDI section of the forum. I'll PM granger and request him to create a meaningful OP for that thread.

--Ricky (talk) 01:17, 1 June 2017 (EDT)

The thread is also meant to be searched, not skimmed. Since it's a sticky (and one of four in "How Do I?") on the forums, I really don't see a point in having it linked here. The others have been consolidated into a "guides" list so it's helpful to have them linked here as a second way to keep from being overlooked.--MagicManICT (talk) 13:14, 23 August 2017 (EDT)
