This report was delayed, obviously, so that it could contain all the placements and junk from The Undertaking! Let’s get to it!

Now that The Undertaking has been completed, extensions and all, it’s time to announce the winners. I was happy with the level of participation across the board, though it seems like team article creation events are less of a “thing”. In the future, they may only show up in Vendettas (if even then). Let’s break down the numbers and see who gets the toys!

The Undertaking: Fiction
1. Abadeer Taasii
2. Lithar Andaris
3. Dek Ironius II

The Undertaking: Article Creation (Team)
1. Armad, Jades A Sadow, DarkHawk

The Undertaking: Article Creation
1. Dek Ironius II
2. Braecen Kaeth
3. Aul Celsus

The Undertaking: High Profile
1. Braecen Kaeth
2. Howlader Taldrya
3. Aul Celsus

The Undertaking: Wiki Trivia
1. Alethia Archenksova
2. Dek Ironius II
3. Armad

(Note: The placements for Wiki Trivia could have been a lot different, but a rather large number of the participants only received half credit for their answers as they did not include the URL as required in the competition details. Live and learn!)

So, with the events graded and in the can, it left a very hard fought contest for the top three placements. Aul Celsus, Braecen Kaeth and Armad were very close in their fight for second and third, with all three of them placing in two events. Sadly, Aul is the odd man out and finishes fourth, but I still want to congratulate him on his efforts in this event! The top three spots were each determined by a single point, with Armad in third with 4 placement points and Braecen in second with 5. Our top competitor, finishing with 6 placement points, was also tied for top participant entry-wise with a total of four:

Overall Winner: Dek Ironius II

Dek walks away with a new accessory in addition to his first place crescent for the event as a whole, and a hearty congratulations from me and the staff! It always pleases me that those that “do all the things” (to steal shamelessly from Howie), or as near to that as anyone gets, end up winning the overall top placement as well since I’m all about rewarding overall effort as often as we can.

Clan Category Table of Contents

My staff, in the form of Xolarian and Zachary O'Maille, have done some top notch work on implementing the Clan Category updates across all the Brotherhood’s clans. This project was a lot bigger than simply adding the new tables of contents to all the pages, however. It also included the standardization of Clan category content across the Brotherhood as well. It’s my hope that this can be one of the final, finishing touches on making the wiki a more new-user friendly environment to navigate, and allow for easy of access across unit boundaries for everyone in the Brotherhood.

Featured Articles & Wikipedian of the Month

This month’s featured article is also the article created by our Undertaking champion Dek Ironius II: Shay Thelin. This article was well put together, like many that were created for the competition. The thing, though, that really set it apart from the others was the subject of the article itself. A Gungan relic hunter just has an interesting and unique ring to it. In a close contest of quality, it’s sometimes the little things that make your work stand out.

As for our Wikipedian of the Month, this month that title goes to Celahir Erinos Arconae of Clan Arcona (but, more specifically in this context, of the Fist Office). Over the month of September Cel has been a whirlwind of activity across the wiki. Be it updating article contnent or formatting, he’s been all over the FIST articles of late. Even without the direct guidance of a sitting Dark Councilor, he’s been editing up a storm, while also being the embodiment of the “user generated” content community that Mediawiki was created for. You don’t have to be on staff or under the direction of somebody else to make a difference, and Cel has done a lot over the last month.

Projects

• Wiki Competition: Completed!
• Category Updates: Completed
• Archivist: Lead: Laren Uscot. Even with the new canon changes, the stories of the Brotherhood still need to be updated. Depending on how far we go with old events in the area of bringing them in line with new canon, this project’s responsibilities are somewhat in flux.
• Legends Dungeon: Lead: Selika. Sorting, sorting, and more sorting. There’s a lot of work here, so this is a long term project that is to be ongoing for some time.

Wiki Tip of the Month

Another month, another tip. Over the last month and a half, I’ve noticed a few of our more veteran members coming to members of the staff with issues editing pages or with email verification on the wiki. In all of these cases, the simple fix was to log into the wiki system itself. The confusion lies, I think, with the fact that the wiki system, while connected to the DJB website login information, being a separate thing from the main website. If you’re logged into the website you’re not necessarily logged in on the wiki (or the Discourse forums, but that’s for another day), even though you see the main website navigation bar across the top of the screen showing you “logged in”. In the old days, the wiki didn’t look like an extension of the site, so people wouldn’t get confused by being logged in on one while not on the other. To login on the wiki itself, click the user icon and select “Login with DJB”:

Another way to make sure you’re logged in on the wiki is to look at the user icon next to the search box. If the icon is white, you’re logged out. If it’s blue, you’re logged in:

Final Words

Just another reminder that the wiki staff as a whole is always here to give you a hand with wiki questions. Hit us up on telegram (many of us are on there often/always/too much), and even if the staffer you catch doesn’t know the answer they’ll track me down and make sure you get an answer. We’re there to help you guys out, so don’t hesitate!
