User blog:Baziel/BO2 'M' References, 'Barmaid' NPC class, Stealth Kills, BO1 Mentions & Enemies, LoK Wiki Answers and more Wikia issues

Continuing my effort to go through the BO2 pages adding references and updating, I've now finished the (rather large) 'M' section and will be starting on the N's soon. I've also re-organised the Stealth Kills slightly, adding images of every stealh kill with every weapon to the page. Still on BO2, I've also added what I consider to be perhaps the last 'wanted' page there - a page for the (incredibly rare) Barmaid NPC class (only seen twice throughout the game) and re-shuffled to remove previous references to "unique Peasants" and the like.

Meanwhile, there has been some additions to the BO1 wanted pages; leading to Dubiel creating pages for some of the minor BO1 mentions, adding pages for Faeries, Sprites, Plague and the Serioli. Some useful research has also come our way from the Blood Omnicide Team, that allows us to begin to properly catalogue the BO1 enemies; again Dubiel has begun to work on these and has put up some new stub pages for these (unfortunately, despite the information we have regarding them, completion of the pages these may be delayed for some time - see bottom ).


 * There are also some 'Behind the Scenes' developments as it were. After months of meaning to sort it out, I finally got around to creating the LoK Wiki Answers site. (it's linked under 'answers' from the main page). Essentially it's all about questions and answers and should work much the same way as the wiki does (ie open and free to edit to all); Basically, if you have a question, ask; if you know an answer, answer it. It's simple and not the most amazing thing, but it's a logical wiki companion. I've already added and answered a copuple of the more frequently asked to give an idea.


 *  Unfortunately  we're still having some problems with the Wikia 'overlords' (who for some reason seem to be desperate to ensure that the most active and hardworking editors will no longer edit) and with more and more of the networks best sites defecting, it becomes harder and harder to ignore. We do have plans should the 'unthinkable' happen and have already begun to sort them out - make notes - http://legacyofkainwiki.com has been reserved for us (and currently redirects to our 'wiki activity' page), I'd advise people to replace favourites or bookmarks with this link as should a split happen, you'll automatically be led to the current 'alive' wiki over the dead one. There are currently still ongoing discussions about this (so let us know if you'd like to be 'in' on any of these). However, it has been made clear to us that, despite the fact we're responsible for at least 90% of content here, all our content will simply be 'taken' by Wiki (which is of course, pretty unacceptable to most editors). Consequently we're in an awkward situation where it is no longer particularly advantageous for us to contribute; especially if all we contribute will simply be taken by wikia - essentially we may be leaving doing any 'interetsing stuff' until this is cleared up - Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this will cause - we all genuinely would prefer to not be in this situation; but at the heart of it Wikis are supposed to be about collaboration and co-operation; not trolling hard-working volunteers
