As we move closer to the launch of A Realm Reborn, the site will undergo several more tweaks and modifications. Among these include the much needed cleanup of the Archives and Directory forum sections.
Archives:
This forum section will likely be entirely purged. I will be adding new coding to this section that will setup the topic title as a direct link to one's wiki profile. Thus, all character profiles will be centralized entirely on the wiki database and the forum section will simply act as a table of contents to that. If you have any trouble utilizing the wiki to create your character's page, feel free to contact me in game or via PM. I completely understand that wikis can be somewhat intimidating and hard to understand for first-time users.
Please backup any relevant info you have posted in the Archives section prior to the purge/overhaul. You are also encouraged to update your wiki profile prior to the launch of A Realm Reborn so that interested newcomers have an easier time with integration into possible pre-existing storylines/characters and such.
Directory:
This section will be purged of anyone who is perceived to be "inactive." I will begin tagging which ones I perceive as such within a couple weeks. Should I tag your topic with a response, please reply in some manner to indicate that you are still an active player of the game and RP community. Any "active" players will not have their topics purged, though you are encouraged to update your information before A Realm Reborn launches.
Wiki:
Everyone is encouraged to update their profiles but I also wish to seek help updating all of the lore related listings as well. Whether it includes text addition/modification, picture adding/editing, or addition of new lore related topics (there are still a LOT of red links for areas and bestiary), any help would be appreciated.
Characters on the wiki that are hardly filled out and are still nothing more than a stub will be deleted if they haven't been active in the past 3-6 months. An example of such a profile: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Armi_Duvignau">http://www.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/wiki/i ... i_Duvignau</a><!-- m -->
As a safety precaution, please remove the "stub" category from your wiki profile. As of now, all of these are tagged as "stubs:" <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Character_Stub">http://www.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/wiki/i ... acter_Stub</a><!-- m -->
Should you have any questions or concerns, feel free to respond here as always
