Volo

I noticed a red link for Volo's Guide to Monsters so figured it was about time the 2016 publication had an article. Could do with a cover added and something for reviews / reception. sheridan (talk) 21:41, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

WikiProject collaboration notice from the Portals WikiProject

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.

Portals are being redesigned.

The new design features are being applied to existing portals.

At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{Transclude lead excerpt}}.

The discussion about this can be found here.

Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.

Background

On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.

There's an article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.

So far, 84 editors have joined.

If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.

If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.

Thank you.    — The Transhumanist   07:35, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Assistance requested with Rokugan article

I'm asking for assistance here as the Rokugan article has been removed twice in April without a process such as an AfD request being carried out first. The first time was on April 15th, accompanied. The article was restored by someone on April 20th and the editor who did the original change to a redirect repeated the change, saying that sources should be added before the redirect should be undone.

Before the edits turning the article into a redirect, there were a number of constructive edits being made every year, so I don't consider the article abandoned.

I agree with the request to add more citations to the article, as I think this would be very useful to readers, but I do not believe this article should have been removed from Wikipedia without some sort of discussion and some sort of attempt to seek out editors who could improve the article.

There is also a challenge, on the talk page, against the Rokugan article being part of the Dungeons & Dragons category, that has not been answered. Big Mac (talk) 22:23, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Requesting clarity on deity pages

Hi, everyone! I'm a bit green to Wikipedia and the DnD project. Recently I created the draft for Kavaki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Kavaki,_the_Ram-Lord

This led me to find the DnD project and some Talk on merging god pages. I feel like the Goliath pantheon as a whole would wind up being merged. I'm happy to create a page on the Goliath pantheon, or a section in the relevant article, so we can mark the Kavaki article as merged and clean-up, but am not sure on how to start.

Could someone shoot me a line and let me know where to look/how to start? ArlJJAS (talk) 17:22, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
