New Wiki Manager
I'm Tephra, the new Fandom Wiki Manager for the Doom Wiki. I am here to help the community and be your liaison to Fandom. If you need anything, feel free to contact me and I will get back to you as soon as possible. ◄► Tephra ◄► 18:50, May 15, 2019 (UTC)

There It Goes Again
Aqula125 is back again with adding categories which doesn't seem right, you should talk to them.

Fandom University
I am adding a Fandom University player to the Special:Community page to help out new or inexperienced editors on all wikis that are willing to accept it. You can see what it would look like on the Diablo Wiki. This is done with ImportJS and so can easily be removed at any time. Would you be ok with this addition here? ◄► Tephra ◄► 02:31, June 20, 2019 (UTC)

◄► Tephra ◄► 08:03, June 27, 2019 (UTC)
 * I've gone ahead and enabled it since I didn't hear back from you. If you decide you don't want it, just delete dev:FandomU.js from MediaWiki:ImportJS.

this is not good
you really need to do something about this [//doom.fandom.com/wiki/User:Ge%E1%B9%93rgios_Heiliger https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/User:Ge%E1%B9%93rgios_Heiliger] and I will tell the fandom staffs about this. Stormourner (talk) 07:08, July 11, 2019 (UTC)Stormourner


 * And what exactly am I supposed to do about what? The vandalism was recently taken care of so don't understand the issue. Justice ∞ (talk) 13:14, July 11, 2019 (UTC)

Main page and other stuff
In the lead up to the next Doom game and as a part of a general improvement campaign for the top gaming wikis, we want to revamp some of this wiki, like its main page, navigation, theme, basic wiki maintenance, and so on. Some editors who are not regulars here may arrive and start editing. They will not just be random people making a mess out of things, but experienced wiki editors who also care about Doom. You are still the admin here though, so if anyone does anything you don't like, just let them know. I've also lowered the protection level of the main page to semi-protected. This is only temporary so that it can be worked on. Hopefully, you will appreciate and approve of everything that happens here, and if you don't, don't hesitate to say so. ◄► Tephra ◄► 17:41, July 27, 2019 (UTC)


 * I don't mind the improvements made to the wiki. In fact the main page looks better and more organized than before. The reason why the main page was protected is because of vandalism from random users. Justice ∞ (talk) 23:54, August 4, 2019 (UTC)

Dropping in
Hi Justice Infinity! As the wiki manager noted earlier, some content team members (like myself) are showing up to help get your community updated :) In particular I'll be focusing on the infoboxes and styling. I also wanted to touch base to see if you were attached to using white/light background for the main article area or ok with going with a darker color with lighter text. Also, as I'm not familiar with the game's style, if you have any examples of styles you like for the boxes I'll see if I can mimic a similar format as I work on the infoboxes. If you have any questions for me let me know!

 * I don't care about what color I want just something that fits the theme of Doom. Other than that it looks good to me. Justice ∞ (talk) 23:59, August 4, 2019 (UTC)
 * Ok I've done a bit of basic styling, I'll have to check around for some old pieces that may have custom coding though that no longer match (like the front page has the white background still). Let me know if the orange is ok or not. Obviously can't do red as that's universal for a non-existent link on wiki so tried to pull from the other colors.
 * Mechemik (talk) 04:08, August 5, 2019 (UTC)
 * Ok it should almost be done. I haven't converted all navboxes but the new category here should give you an idea of what default ones should look like now, particularly with the old ones that are dividing maps into several separate navboxes and hopefully easy to read to edit if needed. Also a few things I wanted to ask to see if you'd like to implement it or not:
 * 1) I noticed a lot of pages, particularly for monsters and weapons, are generally the same name, just changes across the series. If you want, I could instead implement a pseudo-tab ability so you no longer have to have a bunch of disambig links as it'd look something like this example (it can be stylized of course to better fit the Doom style). What this is doing is just creating sub-pages so you could have it read like "Doom 1", "Doom II", "Doom Eternal" etc. (and if the monster/weapon doesn't appear in one of them, the tab won't show).
 * 2) I noticed you still use the original message wall style. Would you be interested in switching it over to to the one that allows collapsible messages?
 * Mechemik (talk) 21:12, August 8, 2019 (UTC)


 * I would like to see an example of what an wiki that uses collapsible messages look like like before I decide I want that or not. I would be interested in this pseudo-tab idea of having different tabs that would have article of the different versions of the Doom weapons and monsters. Justice ∞ (talk) 06:58, August 11, 2019 (UTC)
 * Sure, this is an example of the new message style (you'll see that when a thread gets longer, it autohides older ones in the thread but can still show them all if needed). And I'll start on the tab thing soon :)
 * Mechemik (talk) 17:20, August 11, 2019 (UTC)


 * The tab idea looks good so far but as far as messages are concerned, I think I'll keep the current message style for this wiki. Justice ∞ (talk) 14:56, August 21, 2019 (UTC)


 * Sounds good! So everything else is pretty much set, just some things will need to be moved over to the modern navbox style.

They Better Be Forgotten
oh boy I'm going to regret this but the reason why I showed you this it's because the blocked user accounts are either disabled or blocked acrossed the wiki so they don't need to be the block list, you can remove the links or the message after you're done, btw I didn't mean to spam you and I'm sorry to the long list

Stormourner (talk) 08:25, July 31, 2019 (UTC)stormourner


 * What exactly am I supposed to do be removing the accounts from the block list when they are already blocked worldwide by fandom? Just doing that seems to be a waste of time. Justice ∞ (talk) 00:02, August 5, 2019 (UTC)


 * as you wish, oh one last thing you should report the bad users at VSTF wiki. Stormourner (talk) 03:29, August 5, 2019 (UTC)Stormourner

Unbelievable
looks like I have to go through all the pages to see if any pages are vandalized without notice, I removed two vandalism from this user https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/114.78.43.62 and it baffles me that no one took notice since 2015. Stormourner (talk) 07:11, August 5, 2019 (UTC)Stormourner


 * Maybe it was because I lost interest in being an admin and the fact that I'm busier nowadays that I don't think I can go through each recent edit all of the time. All it was is mostly an opinion that hardly qualifies as vandalism. Justice ∞ (talk) 07:42, August 11, 2019 (UTC)

Analytics
Hey, in case you didn't see the blog, you can now use Special:Analytics to see useful and interesting traffic data for this (or any other) wiki. ◄► Tephra ◄► 21:08, August 8, 2019 (UTC)

Deletion of Central Processing archives
User:Mechemik has, for some reason which I cannot fathom, deleted the 2005 and 2006 archives of the Central Processing page. Why? (and who is this guy, anyway?) I think they should be restored. — evilquoll (talk) 08:23, August 23, 2019 (UTC)
 * Oops my bad, I was working on templates and accidentally delete those by mistake, restoring them now. Also I am a content team member that's been working on updating the wiki styles.
 * Mechemik (talk) 15:04, August 23, 2019 (UTC)

A Spammer
this user https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/MaxPayne00 added a spam link on monsters page and I removed the link but I'm sure they will do it again. no spammers or vandilizers can escape from my sight. Stormourner (talk) 07:52, October 14, 2019 (UTC)Stormourner

Needing advice
Hello, sorta Newbie wiki user/editor.

I've been working on the Strife series and fixing up the lack of data I found. All is going well. Except I have a odd scenerio I need advice on... I noticed on this page: https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/The_Original_Strife:_Veteran_Edition the data was short and lacking.... I ended up finding another wiki page on a different wiki site with WAAAAAAAAY more data and was thinking omg this would take forever to rewrite. So would it be okay to just copy and paste the data over to this (and match up the formating)? Or is that against the rules? I only ask b/c I rewrote a bunch of data for our site. Then found out that someone had literally copied and paste info from their site exactly in to one of our pages and I left it... So I'm thinking it's okay....right?

Here's the other page: https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Strife:_Veteran_Edition
