Atlas page
I have started on the atlas page. It was still linking/containing this portal template which doesnt work anymore on vaultwiki. So i had to come up with something else.
Also i wanted to have it more as a landing page for quick browsing/navigating through the wiki.. atlast related stuff ofc.

I like the look of it although we clearly have quite a lot of filling in to do.

Good start. I had a quick think of what should be added but I am not sure where they should go.
- noble families?
- rjurik tribes?
- festivals (which aren't defined by regions)
- equipment (e.g. weapons, ships, artifacts)
- animals (regional?)
- awnshehglien/ehrsheghlien
- organisations & guilds
Are these the sort of things you think should be in the Atlas?

yup, those were my little concerns as well.. or for example what to do with dwarven/elven.. they could have an own browsebar for their self.
perhaps we need to change the structure to improve it.. ill give it some thoughts. But thats why i put something up, so we can discuss it and have a starting point.
the main reason i want the atlas "starting" page, is that even I sometimes can not find pages really fast.. while i even KNOW they are there.. but asking myself, how the hell am i getting to that page, i know its there, but not exactly where.
i am still thinking if EVERYTHING should be in the atlas.. or perhaps split it up into two different ones.
lore/history vs geography
i always keep 1 rule in mind when trying to come up with a structure, i have to get to an unknown page within 4 clicks. In many cases, the wiki lacks this.
for example: i want to see a list of important Rulers .. how do i get there? where to start?
sometimes i am looking for a domain, but i kinda forgot which region is was, was it eastern marches, Western reaches aaarg.. searching didnt find anything since my spelling was wrong or the wiki search displays a page where i am not looking for.
currently i feel the wiki is only readable for harcore-br fans that know where to look, but for the new and inexperienced br player, you just dont know where to look.
So therefore i try to come up with some "starting pages" to make things easier.
i'd love to hear your thoughts on how things can be improvedTe audire non possum. Musa sapientum fixa est in aure.

Perhaps the major groups should be
- People
- npcs
- ehr/awnsheghlien
- families and tribes
- races
- Places & groups
- geography (e.g. rivers, seas, forests, regions)
- guilds
- organisations
- domains
- landmarks
- religion
- Things
- equipment
- ships
- Events
- history
- festival
- Flora and fauna
- simple beasts
- beasts of blood
- beasts of shadow
- plants
This is just a quick list, and very crude. Just to give you an idea of the way I am thinking.

I like the layout very much, although as Sorontar says, more could be added.
It certainly helps navigating about the wiki.

As in a wikilink?
HTML Code:Use [wiki]Anuirean[/wiki] rather than [[Anuirean]]. If the words don't match the article, use [wiki=ARTICLENAME] instead of just [wiki]
