Please don't create pages like the season ones without flagging it to the wiki team and discussing with team leads. There is a format to be followed (see 2023 (S8) for an example in progress). A single sentence article doesn't look good, and doesn't add any value at this point. - 37thchamber a.k.a. The H.N.I.C.approach the throne 01:29, 28 February 2020 (MST)

(I don't really know wiki messaging so I'm hoping this works; I'll try to hit you up on discord if it doesn't) - Sorry about that, I didn't know that there was a wiki team at the time and had 1. seen a lot of questions about when each season was, and 2. had someone on the rookie discord point out that the autogenerated year links were all broken except the 2023 season as you pointed out. That being said, I don't see any guidelines on style or creation guidelines on the front page and I also don't see anything about the wiki discord server. Is there a 'read this before editing' page that I missed? Maybe you could include a link to the rules or the server in the various wiki link sources such as the new player wiki forum thread?

Don't sweat it, it's not a major issue, it just complicates things later on when we're trying to use a specific format for things. Those specific formats are designed to ensure the correct categories, tracking etc are in place. So don't take this the wrong way, it's mainly for admin purposes. You raise some good points though. There is a lot of stuff that's still "under construction" so there's a lot of broken links, and a style/creation guideline page wasn't really necessary before since everything went via either the Special PT (where you are provided guidelines and a template) or the wiki team handled it. I'll address all that now. That all said, there is a link to the discord on the wiki main page, as well as a section with links on page creation (templates, stats tables etc). There is also a discord link in the googledocs template provided. I updated the Special PT thread on the forum to include a link, though. I'm also implementing some better page protection as a result of this, though... so you've done me a favour, really. Heh. Thanks. - 37thchamber a.k.a.

Ah I see it now after the password reset part, oops. Anyway, as penance I'll try to get at least one of the seasons at least skeletoned up in the format of 8 and put it on the talk page or something next time I have time for wiki stuff Troen (talk) 09:09, 2 March 2020 (MST)
