Main Page

Welcome to the BZPower RolePlaying Wiki

This wiki was created to serve as a centralized resource for BZPower RPGs - both to archive summaries of the stories of the past and to serve as reference for the various custom material we've created over the years, such as non-canon technology and species that have been approved for use in the BZPRPG and other RPGs. Send any questions to Bulik

What are current tasks I can contribute to?

Tagging work:
- Tag pages as WIP with the WIP template
- Tag pages as High Priority Edits with the WIPPrio template
- Use other Category:Maintenance Templates to tag dubiously canon pages, stubs, etc.

Infobox Migration:
- Migrating pages with Template:Infobox to use the new Infobox Templates such as those for player characters, species, locations, and objects
  - ALL PAGES USING Template:Infobox are in Category:WIPInfobox
  - Alert Max if there's another category that could use an infobox in this style.
  - Alert Max if there's another field needed for one of these templates (IE: Adding a field for 'Rarity' to an object because the prior infobox had it)
  - Alert Max whenever one of the Category:Infobox Templates needs a new category (IE: Adding a new template for Vehicles)
  - Alert Max whenever one of the Category:Infobox Templates has coloration/visibility issues that need addressing.
    - If you're brave, check out the hex colors in Category:Style Templates. These are used to globally control infobox coloration.

Updating your characters' pages:
- A lot of info is out of date, so updating for your characters will make their pages useful as reference
- See the Style Guides to get a feel for how best to format pages

Site Map

Great for navigating the general structure. TODO: Add this but for categories? Have pages link to categories or structured like the category tree?

BZPower
- Bionicle RPG
  - BZPRPG
    - BZPRPG I
      - Each year's location & summary
    - NBZP
      - No idea, I'll defer to the experts here
    - BZPRPG III
  - Six Kingdoms
  - Bara Magna (Series)
    - Ghosts of Bara Magna
- Fan Created Games
  - BZPower Software Library 2.0 (?)
    - I need to actually think about the file hosting/planning involved here.
    - Potentially worth visiting as a concept when the site migrates to the new AWS architecture whenever I have time for it.
    - Due to the work of documenting dead links and properly doing file management/compatibility, do later
    - Also: previously mentioned: Architecture for playing RPG maker games in-browser
  - Genres
  - Engines
  - Studios
- Lego RPG
  - Exo-Force RPG
- COT
- OTC

How do I edit pages?

Make an account
Let me know you've made an account so I can give you permissions to add and edit pages.
Start making whatever you want.

So far, we've imported everything (I think?) from https://bzprpg.fandom.com/wiki/ and https://bzpower.fandom.com/wiki but it's good to double check that we use those versions of those articles as a baseline that we can edit to improve. Also, some templates and images and whatnot won't be there, which we need to fix. I want this to be bigger, better, and sexier than those, but getting there will certainly take time

Consult the User's Guide for information on using wiki software in general. Useful for learning to add images and links

What are the wiki's long term goals?

Pages for each RPG on bzprpg.com
Get new icon. get icon in tab. update skin to be more bzprpg-themed than standard dark mode
- Gabe had ideas for this, but he's busy ATM
Flesh out page for BZPower
- More of a general site history?
Pages for all 3 bzprpg incarnations (Must decide on a name? or just date by years? unsure on the preferred terminology)
- Possibly edit names of articles that have "(BZPRPG)", "(NBZP)" etc
Sensible Category Nesting
- categories for all rpgs on bzprpg.com
standardize templates for characters, locations, etc. and build new templates
- Make templates more like BS01 with vector art inside of their boxes?
upload images from the old wikis
- Possibly complete? What might have been missed?
