About Kahzi

I've played off and on for approximately ever... but it's been more off than on, to be frank. I was thrilled to see Freedom launch so that I could play without expense, so I promptly subscribed and have been VIP since.

Yeah, I know. Great Marketing!

I love reading the wiki and try to provide pages when I get to new content before someone else updates the wiki. I also do a fair bit of minor copy-editing during my browsing, where it's applicable.

Current & Planned Wiki Projects

Documented lest I forget what I'm doing, but feel free to comment. Or jump in and beat me to it, at that.  ;)

• I'm working my way through the DA arcs pasting in new content as I find it. I started editing with Sister Solaris, went through all of Dream Doctor's content, then started again through Ouroboros (this time WITH Gabriel credit!). Aggelakis beat me to Heather's arcs (luckily, since she was my primary example for my first edits!), but I added additional dialogue trees where I could and as of now have finished a first pass on Mu'Vorkan's. Meanwhile, I am learning about wikis in general. Templates and transclusion and namespaces - oh my! -- 03/23/2012

• I transferred data-dump pages into the proper (I hope) formatting for each of the ATO sets already. But I would like to verify the enhancements and bonuses in-game, as I've seen a few people come back with changes. Thirty7 (I think) also put up a sample for the individual enhancement pages, so if nobody beats me to it I'll go through and finish populating those for each set. Although the Superior ones will likely have to be an empty template-style page, as I haven't catalyzed anything myself as of yet... -- 03/23/2012

• I have also thought to go check out the new low-level arcs. I suspect someone has long since put in the data, but I will keep one eye on the wiki as I play through anyway. Perhaps there are missing dialogue pieces, or I can learn more about proper formatting as I go. -- 03/23/2012

• My very first project here was documenting Dr. Kane's trial during the Halloween event. I appear to have a soft spot for trials, as I am so often lost in them during gameplay and use the wiki to figure out what the team doesn't bother to tell me. It's probably about time to do a pass on all of the trials I am now getting the hang of, and make sure that the info is complete from a noob perspective... -- 03/23/2012

• I noticed several {{Mission Briefing}}s in the new DA arcs that don't have a contact image. I would like to figure out the naming convention that template looks for (and how to upload images) and supply them. Unfortunately, though I have been collecting screenshots of dialogues along the way toward that end, I failed to turn on UIs in those screenshots. So I must start anew. Perhaps on my third pass through the arcs I will focus on those... -- 03/23/2012

• The location of the portal from Grandville to Dark Astoria. How has nobody put that in yet? -- 03/23/2012

Saved Info

• Paragon Wiki talk:Mission articles#Mission Syntax - EA rocks. I must re-read that response and distill it into a list of guidelines to remember. Also, must research the {{Ambush}} template. I have seen it used, but not yet used it... -- 03/23/2012

Things I Don't Know

... and would like for you to tell me, please!

• Completion text for the {{Mission Objective}} template. I understand the pop-up boxes, like you get at the end of the tip missions. But sometimes there is text in the chat window? How do I know whether that is completion text or objective-completion text, as in 'You searched this drawer.' Is there an obvious difference? Just editor's discretion? (I need some sort of common abbreviation for 'At the Editor's Discretion' - I get the feeling I'll be saying/hearing a lot of that...)

• Cutscenes. I don't see any speech bubbles in some of them when I am playing. Just characters waving their arms around. Is that normal, or is something screwed up on my end? I do sometimes see bubbles, I just... feel like something is missing.

• Categories. How are they created and used? Not that I expect to create new categories, I just haven't yet found a page talking about them, so they are a big fuzzy area in my knowledge bank. Me no likey fuzzy!

There is more. I'll get to it.

Things I'm Proud Of

... and would like for you to compliment me on. NAO!  :P

• The Paragon Wiki global chat channel box on this page. Ain't it purty and a great idea and I did it all by my lonesome! (Except that I spent many minutes trying to figure out how to browse available images and found a chat bubble only to put in on the page and see that it looked terrible next to the Globalchat image in the global name box. So I used that one instead, and now I think it is slightly less impressive in terms of Did-It-Myself-ness. C'est la vie.) (And also except that someone has in all likelihood done it before and better. But this one was done by ME! :D)
