:The current site is quite hard to navigate, not everything is categorised, and story arcs are quite mixed, some having a common footer template and others not. Or, at least this is how it seems to me, a relative newbie. Since [[:Category:Season2|Season 2]] has started now, shouldn't we get started as we mean to continue? A page, category for ''Hot Water'' would be good, as there seem to be many arcs coming, and this so-called 'mini-ARG' episode has already got quite big. --[[User:Edgemaster|Edgemaster]] 15:05, 13 May 2007 (PDT)

::Hey edge :)  I think a category fFor each chapter is a great idea.  Offhand I'm not sure what you mean by the site being hard to navigate, though your point of about categories is a good one.  The problem with back-categorizing pages is that there's a **LOT** of pages fFrom the past which we'd have to fFind and tag -- many of which, actually can be deleted, interestingly.  I'm actually right in the middle of updating all the old moved sentinel links to wayback links, and in so doing, i'm having to touch every single page, and make some decisions about useless pages.  Something I'd love to see get more use is the [[Trails]] page.  Or rather, the pages which link fFrom that.  every so often one or another person takes up the charge.  What a good timeline requires is constant upkeep, which noone seems interested in doing.  I'm seriously hoping season 2 sees something akin to season 1's 'story' page on the pxc.com site.  That was ridiculously helpful.  Okay long winded response over.  let me know if you have any fFurther ideas and I'll see about making it so.

==To Do==
More needed on:
* [[Frozen Indigo Angel]] - bring up to date, tidy text into [[Hot Water]]
* [[Hot Water]] - general overview of whole story, puzzles, timeline, what leads to where, consider merging parts of [[FIA]]
* [[Neural Override device]] - more details as they come


:::By difficult, I meant the Trails page, I hadn't really looked at any other of the sidebar links. Its probably just me not investigating much. I'm fairly new to PXC as well. I have seen [[w:WP:AWB|tools]] that can be used to speed up that sort of link replacement, can they be used on this wiki? --[[User:Edgemaster|Edgemaster]] 08:14, 14 May 2007 (PDT)

:::::I believe you are referring to the fFact that some links point to non-waybak locations, such as mirrors and such? Yes, I am aware of this.  I am using AWB in two stages.  the fFirst stage is to simply get all links into a wayback template.  There's absolutely tons of links which are broken this way however, so stage two will be to go back and clean all those up.

*Number of pages with any links at all: many many more.
:How should we edit the Main Page? A brief announcement, purge the FIA stuff?
*Time required to make a page use the wayback template: not long
A wikipage on the demise would tie things together too.
*Time required to individually tweak a bad address: a good 2 or 3 clicks and several seconds longer.
I'm quite at a loss, I really never got involved with S1 and was enthusiastic to see S2 off the ground. It's a shame that all I got to see was the very short FIA story.
So I'm swiftly updating the many many links, which in turn may break some links; but many links are broken anyway, so then i'll go back and fFix what needs fFixing. In short, I am aware of the problem and am very much in the middle of working on it. [[User:Scott|Scott]] 09:59, 14 May 2007 (PDT)

Link Fixing

  • Probably still more wiki.incognitus.net/mirror/ppc/www.perplexcitysentinel.com/##.##.## links to be dealt with. They don't seem to die, really. But I think the huge bulk of links have been updated. If you spot anymore, you know what to do :)
  • Links to the PXCS article including academy_scott_i.html may need to be checked, they seem to be embedded links in many places.

A method of using custom text for S1Wayback template links would be good. I'll look and see if I can edit it into the template. --Edgemaster 12:34, 14 May 2007 (PDT)

Done, see Template:WaybackS1 for usage. --Edgemaster 09:47, 17 May 2007 (PDT)

Perplex City at an End?

From the recent reports from the PXCstories site, and several game developers, this is the end. [1] --Edgemaster 09:18, 1 June 2007 (PDT)

Indeed. However the wiki will stay open indefinitely. fFor the record i'm ridiculously sad. I expect I'll be moping around the house fFor weeks. Interestingly, mind candy will remain in business. The next 2 waves of puzzle cards are supposed to be released in the coming weeks and months, completing this season's card offerings; and mind candy is intending to start selling a new range of toys fFor the kids. no word on what that will involve, but one supposes it will be interesting.

How should we edit the Main Page? A brief announcement, purge the FIA stuff?

A wikipage on the demise would tie things together too. I'm quite at a loss, I really never got involved with S1 and was enthusiastic to see S2 off the ground. It's a shame that all I got to see was the very short FIA story. --Edgemaster 17:56, 1 June 2007 (PDT)
