Design and ContentThe main page of the EpicDuel Wiki underwent a major visual redesign that was released September 3rd, 2010. Announcements replaced the "Game Information" section and were added April 2nd, 2011. The armor spreadsheet was introduced July 21st, 2010 as a convenient way to compare and locate any armor in-game. Following its success, the weapon spreadsheet was released a week later on July 28th, 2010. On April 5th, 2012, the weapon spreadsheet was split into the primary weapon spreadsheet and the ranged weapon spreadsheet due to its immense size. With the release of EpicDuel Omega and the elimination of preset stats, both armor and weapon spreadsheets were archived. Image Directories were first introduced for achievements December 25th, 2010 as an alternative method of locating an achievement. They were later extended to armors, robots, items and vehicles in January and March of 2011. EditingThe primary help page for the EpicDuel Wiki was added December 18th, 2009, with a picture guide added August 27th, 2010. The first video guide on uploading images was added June 8th, 2011. The Getting Started guide was added September 3rd, 2010, the Editing Help page on September 29th, 2010, and the FAQ page on April 16th, 2011. On August 25th, 2012, the Wiki Tutorial was created, which merged and updated our 4 previous tutorial pages. The alternative method of editing with forms was officially released March 9th, 2012 although the project has been in development since late 2011. Another alternative method of editing with preloaded templates was released August 25th, 2012 as another easier method of editing. Other ProjectsOn January 8th, 2011, site owner Al Gilman launched the Lore Forum as the wiki's discussion hub. Due to activity lowering, the Lore Forum closed all but one section on March 12th, 2012. For easier access to all Artix Entertainment Design Notes on a single website, the Everything Lore blog was launched January 21st, 2012. The blog was later converted into a redirector page for the Everything Lore family of wikis. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
