The items navbox looks great, Flux. I'm trying to finish my first pass through the Wizard's skill pages today, but when I'm done with that, I'll take a longer look at it and see if I can come up with some suggestions. After a quick glance, I didn't notice anything missing.

P.S. Flux, are you getting my messages? The forum isn't providing me any feedback, so I can't tell if they're getting to you.
I've been eyeing up the other games section but I'm a bit confuzzled as to some of the contents of the nav box.
I can understand Torchlight, but I'm not quite seeing stuff like Aion in there, what purpose it should serve in context of the wiki.
I do get Guild Wars, though. Didn't gaile go work for those folks?
I get DotA and D&D, too, but not so much the Aion connection, nor Baldur's Gate. If I have context, I can do that.

I'd like the wiki to have everything a reader needs/wants to know about Diablo. That means very indepth info about all diablo stuff, and some amount of coverage of other related topics. Lots of terms in theReference coverage aren't necessarily real diablo-centric; some are from other games, but they're used in related discussions.
For example, there's a new thread in the d3 forum about Hearthstones and how they could be used in D3. I believe that's a feature from WoW (and maybe other RPGs?) but it would be nice if the wiki had a page with a couple of paragraphs about what Hearthstones are, and a link to that forum conversation.
In the same way, people often refer to other RPGs, or features in those RPGs, when talking about D3. The pages don't need to be (and shouldn't be) exhaustive, but some basic info about the game, link to the wikipedia and official page, and a few paragraphs about why they're relevant to Diablo or the diablo community. Similar features, developers who worked on both games, etc.
For example, I've long meant to add short pages for Zelda and God of War simply b/c Jay Wilson has so often compared D3's boss fights to the boss battles in those games. Some basic info about those games and a couple of paragraphs about how their boss battles work, and how that can inform our knowledge of D3. That I haven't played those games might be a slight impediment, but a bit of research can get the gist of things.
Under Interface, under Function, it says "the 5 slot holds potions." It can, but now it can hold skills too (look at the 2010 screenshot)
I would do this myself, but it won't let me create a wiki account due to a "domain / ckey mismatch" error.
That should be fixed now.
We were trying to apply some anti spam things and we might have configured it a little harsher than we needed.
Please try again and let me know if computer still says no.

No more ugly red links. Could probably use some more filling out at a later date.
MrFrye, you're doing a bangup job on the skill pages, I must say.

March and April completed for Media Coverage, and in related news, I want to stab my eyeballs out with a rusted spoon.
edit: It's completely current. I'm done with that particular page for a while.![]()

Good job.
The fun, relatively speaking, of updating the media coverage page is that you get to update lots of other pages at the same time. This is b/c most of the news worth enshrining on the media coverage have something worth adding to another relevant wiki page... This makes the media coverage updates take longer, and yet feel slightly less mechanical.
Just adding this one as out of date

Noticed it when I found a thread on the official forum pointing it out
