<p>Move gameinfo information from my TODO list to this page, for historical record.</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== History ==<br /> <br /> === wikia/fandom sites ===<br /> <br /> 2005: there was a wiki named gameinfo.wikia.com . We made an interwiki prefix for gameinfo. And we made a template for gameinfo (two templates actually). Template:gameinfo was like template:wikipedia : it made a little box on the right with a gameinfo PNG and a caption that gameinfo has an article on the subject.<br /> <br /> 2007: gameinfo.wikia.com moved to egamia.wikia.com.<br /> <br /> 2016: all of wikia.com moved to fandom.com, so the site became egamia.fandom.com.<br /> <br /> date unknown: egamia.fandom.com moved to gamicus.fandom.com.<br /> <br /> As of June 21, 2024, gamicus.fandom.com had 42,444 pages.<br /> <br /> === Our templates ===<br /> <br /> We had two templates, Template:gameinfo and Template:gameinfo2. Template:gameinfo2 had comments that it existed because variable-argument templates were not supported in the version of MediaWiki that we had at the time. There were no uses of Template:gameinfo2 so it was easy to delete.<br /> <br /> Template:gameinfo displayed a little box on the right of the page that said &quot;Gameinfo has an article about xxx&quot;, illustrated with a PNG of the gameinfo logo. Clicking on the link took the reader to gameinfo.wikia.com.<br /> <br /> Time passed. The gameinfo wiki moved at least three times. As of June 2024, Template:gameinfo was still named Template:gameinfo, but now it displayed a little box that said &quot;Encyclopedia Gamia has an article about xxx&quot;, illustrated with a PNG of the gameinfo log. Clicking on the link took the reader to gamicus.fandom.com. This was confusing.<br /> <br /> === Our interwiki link ===<br /> <br /> We also have an interwiki link for gameinfo. It still points to the defunct gameinfo.wikia.com. There are several uses on talk pages and archived community pages.<br /> <br /> == Cleanup ==<br /> <br /> In June 2024, Furey (the author of this history), found the articles using Template:gameinfo and changed all of them to use direct https links to gamicus.fandom.com. Each affected article already had a list of external links, and now there is one more link such as &quot;Codex Gamicus article for SLASH&#039;EM&quot;. The little boxes went away.<br /> <br /> https://nethackwiki.com/index.php?search=gamicus , the usual search function, shows articles with gamicus links.</div>
