Revenge of the Great Page Updatening

[powersthatbe]

We've fallen a little behind our new and improved schedule, but we're still making great strides in bringing all the info pages up to where they need to be going forward. This includes making the glossary a useful tool, more accurately reflecting terms that are actually used in-game, and with correct links to the new Dungeon and Dreamspace pages.

The next big update that needs player feedback is the FAQ. We do have some suggestions on the matter from an old State of the Game, but if there's a question you find yourself asking frequently that isn't currently reflected in either of those places, please let us know below!

Okay, just trying to think here of the things that confused me the most back when I apped. Quite a few of these have more info on other pages, but I think that the main FAQ could still stand to use a brief answer and a link regarding them.

• Skills. Skills were the biggest thing that confused me when I first joined, so I think they could use a brief overview here.
  
• The mingle format, especially since the vast majority of threading takes place in mingles.
  
• The Arcana & familiar faces: who they are, what role they play in the game, etc. We've got other pages on them now, but something in the FAQ on them would be good.
  
• Veteran travellers - what the guidelines are on apping them, what it means to be a Moebius vet in particular, etc
  
• Liminal locations - especially the ones that are open on a regular basis, like the Workshop and Aiya. (In fact I'd also argue that we really need a page somewhere where players can submit Liminal Room descriptions as well)

That's all I've got for now, but I'll edit if I think of any more.

And actually, there is something else - sometimes with skills, if we've already got a teaching thread done and the required comment count, there are times when we might want to use the skill before it's actually been submitted and processed as part of AC. Usually this just means asking the mods for permission, but I think some clarification on this could be useful (even if that clarification is just "Ask the Mods" XD)

Something that lets us know that we should put in for canon skill equivalencies before going off and officially teaching other characters a skill to be picked up by them using a teaching thread in skill AC... If I have this right...

It would probably be helpful to have some sort of list of what's IC common knowledge about the Traveler's situation? I feel like everything would be a lot for new players to figure out, especially now that there's an open library where information is being pooled so a character won't necessarily have to be told something to learn about it. Not to mention I know I sometimes don't remember whether something I OOCly know is also known ICly or not, even though I've been here a while.

Admittedly this might work better as an entirely separate page so it's easier to add to as new information is learned, but I do think it should at least be linked to in the faq when/if it happens.
