It's funny you should ask...yesterday, I think it was, you, me and MD were all on the same page(s) updating them. 😲 Too many cooks in the kitchen, perhaps? 🔪🍴🍳 We seemed to be tripping over each other but somehow it all worked out okay more or less...I think. 😉

Still, I agree...it would help to be a little more organized about it. 😊😊😊

Wiki updates are similar but not quite the same as HTML...it's actually Wikitext instead and there are some limits with it compared to HTML. But most of what we use on this Wiki only uses the basics so it should be easy to pick up and there are lots of help docs in the Fandom/Wikia Community Central. The important thing to know is that there are 3 editors: Visual (the newest), Classic and Source Mode. I always use Source Mode, which allows me to edit in Wikitext (HTML) view so I can see all the coding as I type it. Editing that way is not as pretty as the visual editor and it takes some getting used to BUT you can also copy-and-paste coding in that mode so you don't have to guess when trying to duplicate coding and formatting from a sample to a new page.

And that's basically what I do: I reference what Foss has done before by clicking Edit on one of her pages then copying all her verbiage with her coding intact then pasting it onto my new page that needs the same or similar verbiage and formatting, making any adjustments as needed. I do that so I can keep any pages I create now as close as possible to what Foss was doing before. Of course, I'm still learning too. Foss did a lot for us and I'm just beginning to figure it all out. 😉

For now, what I'm focusing on is trying to get all the shell pages published for the current Magic Tour and Christmas events and I have a ways to go before I'll be done. I'm also working on all the images and their shell pages. But it would really help to then have someone go through and start reviewing and completing them (like the tables that don't have info in them yet, especially the quest tables), correcting where I have things wrong (or letting me know so I can make the correction if preferred or in case there is more sample Foss verbiage available), and removing stubs when the pages are complete (stubs are like the framed verbiage at the top of the collection pages that reference completed samples and also the article stub verbiage towards the bottom of the page; the article stub category should also be removed). Also, I may have to reference where an image should go instead of including the image. That's because there are certain images I can only get by playing the game, like completion notifications. Those have to be captured as screenshots in game, then cropped and saved locally, then uploaded here on the Wiki before they can be added to a page. There aren't that many but I could use help with those too. All other images I have covered...I have access now to the same source Foss was using and can create screenshots for any that are missing from that source (except ones like the completion notifications). And if there are broken links, it's most likely only because I haven't gotten to creating the referenced page yet...that too I should have covered...though I may need a reminder the broken link is waiting for me to fix it. 😲

I can let you know here on this thread when I'm done with a particular page so you can then go to town on it. Or you can just go to town on the obvious stuff (like what you've already done with at least 1 or 2 tables)...I'm sure you can figure it out. MD will probably want to help too (I'm posting the link to this thread on his wall) so maybe you two can divvy things up between the two of you. As soon as I get the chance, I'll add a list here of pages you can get started with and what I believe still needs to be checked, completed, etc. on them. Although you can probably figure it out.

Sound like a plan? Let me know if you have any questions, comments, etc. And thanks for pitching in...this is WAY too much work for 1 person. I have no idea how Foss did all that she did for so long...it's full-time job! Whew! 😌
