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.
 
Right now this wiki is in it's nascent stages, so we need any and all contributions you can add. Once we get more pages we can begin organizing them. See below for more info, and send any questions to [https://wiki.bzprpg.com/index.php/User:Bulik Bulik]

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.

Right now this wiki is in it's nascent stages, so we need any and all contributions you can add. Once we get more pages we can begin organizing them. See below for more info, and send any questions to Bulik

Site Map

WIP: A good method of letting people find things without being a huge pain in the ass or specifically searching for one

  • BZPRPG I -> Each year's territory
  • NBZP -> ???

How do I edit pages?

1. Make an account

2. Let me know you've made an account so I can give you permissions to add and edit pages.

3. Start making whatever you want.

We can figure out how to sort it later, after you start creating pages. For now, just view Special:AllPages and make any new page you want or . Complete anarchy in the beginning, but we'll make something cool yet.

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 this will certainly take time

Consult the User's Guide for information on using wiki software in general.

What are current tasks I can contribute to?

What are the wiki's long term goals?

Feel free to add whatever you want to this todo list as reference for your searches. Anything here being added would be greatly appreciated

- Pages for each RPG on bzprpg.com

- Flesh out page for BZPower

- 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

- category for all 3 bzprpg incarnations (for tagging pages)

- categories for all rpgs on bzprpg.com

- category for all SKRPGs

- add FCG content and BZPower software library 2.0

- category for OTC and COT topics

- create and change up category pages for pages imported from the old wikis

- standardize templates for characters, locations, etc. and build new templates

- upload images from the old wikis

- add infoboxes for old wiki pages to add warnings to pages that haven't been revised from their original imported versions (There is a template for this, add at the top of each page)

- With the above point, we could either leave a redirect page or not; if we leave a redirect page it'll show up in the search bar, if we don't leave a redirect page a lot of links will be broken (EDIT: lol does this matter?)
