Easier and Quicker Referencing and Status hiding with Templates
I've created two new Templates to speed up some tasks.
1) Referencing Wandering Inn chapters from the website, check out a brief usage guide here. It makes calls to the built-in References extension folks are already using, so it will play nice with old references made using
Let me know what you think! These should be compatible if we end up moving to a self-hosted solution using Mediawiki.
Volume 1 Rewrite Changes
Hi, all. A new version of the first volume has been released on the website. The new chapters are reflected in the Table of Contents, and the old ones are archived. To reflect the changes on the Wiki, the pages for these archived Chapters are being moved. Due to the needed changes, it will take a while so you may encounter broken links and outdated information.

Common Page Templates
This probably isn't the right place for this, but I wanted a place where we could have an easy copy and paste for some of the common page types so here we are. Note that these will all have to be altered depending on the page you want to make. You will want to be in source editor for this to work best.

This may be because there are now more options in how to style galleries. I really miss a proper gallery style editor: the old one was decent but is now GONE.
I'm missing very much the "mobile preview" that allowed me to see how a change would affect mobile users who are an important readership base for our wiki. On the other hand, "recent changes" are now a standard option like …
Why does nobody use this?
Is there any reason nobody uses this? Do we have rules already in place for the blog? Do we need to make rules? Just wanting to know.
