Can we hit 7,000 articles by next month?

UOGuide's anniversary is coming up and I noticed we are currently 305 articles away from reaching the 7,000 article mark. I thought that would be a nice coincidence. It isn't that crazy of a goal, only about 10 per day. Can anyone identify a bunch of articles that need to be created? I would even be...

Re: NPC Images

Since most NPCs don't have a set dresscode and have randomized clothing on each shard, it could be confusing to people. I usually took a screenshot of the NPC in the world with their name overhead as a better means to identify them.

Re: Wiki Capitalization and Plural Usage

For files, I don't think it is worthwhile to go renaming them unless they are really poorly named and not identifiable. But if it is "a_goat.jpg" vs "goat.jpg", there is a chance it is used elsewhere. As for categories, you would have to give some examples of what ones you want t...

Re: Wiki Capitalization and Plural Usage

Hello Alianin, it is nice to see an old contributor returning.

If you are going to change a page name you need to leave a redirect to the new page.

Re: Ranking articles?

Thank you for informing us about this extension Draco. If the rest of the UOGuide staff agrees that this would be a useful extension to install then it can be done.

Re: Ranking articles?

While everything is stored in a database, articles are stored as one large piece of text. Monster statistics are not sorted in their own columns, which would allow for easy sorting by an attribute such as fame.

Re: Ranking articles?

I don't think this is possible without special extensions. It would probably be easier for someone to simply create a list manually. There are only a couple hundred monsters. Start up a spreadsheet, enter the name and creature, then sort by fame column.
