Community PortalFFXIclopedia wants you! Together we are building an encyclopedia relating to Final Fantasy XI and a wiki community. As a wiki, you can edit virtually any article on FFXIclopedia right now, or create a new one!

You can post comments about the FFXIclopedia at the Comments Page, review the Help directory or our policies, or contact the administrators or other FFXIclopedia users by leaving a message on their talk page.

Collaboration(s) of the Month(s)Add the new Feral Skills articles. See Accuracy (Feral Skill) as an example. Once done, the main Feral Skills page should be updated to simply link to all of the new skills (something simple such as the Category:Magic). Add a short description of each mob family. See Marids as an example. It can detail overall traits such as that the mobs hit fast (rabbits, opo-opo), slow (Goobbues, Treants), hard (Goobbues, Treants), soft (Crabs), high physical defense (Crabs, Slimes), cast magic (slimes, worms), suicide (gobs, dolls), etc. Looking for something smaller? Help to fill in the missing information in the Fireworks or Furniture articles. Item PagesInclusion of the {{AH}} and {{Guild Points Value}} template. See Template:AH and Template:Guild Points Value for more details. Key ItemsWe've introduced a new way to format key item pages in response to the new subcategories implemented in the game menu. See Category talk:Key Items to see how you can help. Mob PagesMob drop tables for a number of zones needs to be filled in. Adding information to even just one cell makes a difference!

Note from the Lead Editor | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
With the end of 2007 looming it seems like an appropriate time for a look back at the wiki over this past year. It was a year of significant changes and improvements to the wiki, not to mention growth. Growth in terms of articles. Growth in terms of users. Growth in terms of pageviews. Growth in terms of database size. To put it in perspective, compare November 2007 to November 2006.
In that same period of time, we have gone from the 30,000th most visited website to the 4,000th, and have become, and will continue to be, the best resource for all things FFXI related. We have partnered with Wikia, which not only allows this growth to continue, but provides us with a network focused entirely on wikis and wiki technology. Since we began this endeavor in late 2004, we have experienced a number of bumps in the road, a few of which we experienced this past year. This is to be expected. Overall we have weathered the bumps well, and, as is apparent above, have thrived. Thanks again to everyone who has and continues to contribute with this project. I hope everyone is looking forward to a great 2008! --User:Gahoo/Sig 15:52, 12 December 2007 (UTC) |
