This page is a collection of any projects or changes to the wiki that have been approved by site admins. If you have any suggestions, please add them to the Discussion page!

Pressing Issues

0.12 Conversion

• We've been doing good work lately sniffing out the upcoming changes for 0.12 and creating new Crystal Ball Articles for them. If you spot any changes that we haven't yet acknowledged, definitely make the appropriate changes, adjust the page's "History" section, and add the Crystal Ball Articles category tag. We'd like to make the site conversion as painless and quick as possible.
  • There are going to be a LOT of new tile images in 0.12. So far our Crystal Ball Articles have only been tracking mechanical changes, not visual. Would everyone be alright if I created a Category:012 Tiles for pages that will need new artwork?
    • This is definitely a good idea.
    • Image-bot.pl can easily upload all the images in a directory. If the option ignorewarnings is disabled, it won't do anything if the image found in the wiki is identical to the one we are trying to upload. The main issue is that many of images have different names in the wiki and the source code. Manual intervention will be required.
      • It won't be fun exactly, but I could power through this myself in a solid afternoon. With the Retired Artwork page involved it'll require manual work anyway. --MoogleDan 14:32, 12 April 2013 (CEST)

Missing Categories

• The four derived undead pages still need categories attached to them. If anyone has the time, could they add the appropriate resistance and vulnerability categories?

Speedrunnning, Dungeon Sprint, and Zot Defence

• These pages have always been weak points in our wiki. I've dabbled in the two alternate play modes, but never made a serious attempt at them, and I've never gone for an actual speed run. Could someone with experience in these fields give these pages some love?
  • Speedrun
  • Dungeon Sprint
    • Red Sonja
    • The Violet Keep of Menkaure
    • The Ten Rune Challenge
    • Fedhas' Mad Dash
    • Ziggurat Sprint
    • Thunderdome
    • The Pits
    • Arena of Blood
  • Zot Defence
    • Hall of Zot
    • Battle Heart
    • Two or Three?
    • Columnade
    • Glassed Sandwich

Site Redecoration

The CrawlWiki is not a very visually compelling website. If you have suggestions on how we could tastefully change the appearance of the site to make it a little less bland, post them here!

• New background color
• New site logo (the current one really doesn't seem to have anything to do with the game)

Upcoming Issues

0.12 Crawl Tournament

The new version of Crawl is nearly here, and with it comes another Crawl tournament (though I believe it won't be until September at the earliest). Anybody think they might be interested in signing up for the team? We got 4th place last year, and I'd love to reach the top 3 this time (unlikely though that may be).

Competing basically involves playing the latest version of the game online through any of the primary servers. The majority of the points a team earns are awarded for gathering runes, winning (preferably with combinations that haven't been won yet or multiple times in a row), and killing player ghosts. The tournament lasts for several weeks, during which time you may attempt as many games as you like.

Proposed Team Names

With a pretty insurmountable lead, I think it's safe to say that we're going in as Ashenzari's Archivists.
