Hi!
The dust514.info wiki is currently woefully out of date. While there were still some parts that were reasonably up to date prior to 1.8, this is not likely to be true anymore.
I think it's time to get it up to date. However, it's too much work for one person! So I would like to ask members of the community to consider sponsoring a page or two each to help get it up to date to 1.8. The wiki is a resource which I, and I'm sure many others, find very useful as a quick reference. So I think it's well worth us spending the time to get the stats up to date!
So what I have done is created a list here of all the items needing updating or creating. What you can do is post here to claim one of those pages. I'll mark down your name next to the page, indicating that it's claimed, so others don't duplicate your work. Then head on over to the wiki when you can and get it updated!
As you can see, there's a lot of pages that need sponsoring! But it's short work when distributed across many people. Edit an existing page to see the template and hopefully how to use it. Most of the listed items below already have pages, so it will just be a matter of editing the template. Also see the Wikipedia cheat sheet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cheatsheet) for more information on things you can do.
I'll be updating a few pages myself as well.
Resources for updating pages: * https://dust514.com/news/blog/2014/03/expanding-the-arsenal-with-uprising-1.8/ * http://dust514.com/news/blog/2014/03/dropsuits-of-uprising-1.8/ * http://dust514.com/news/2014/03/equipment-uprising-1.8/ * Viewing stats in-game
(Question: are the stats in the above URL's what actually made it into 1.8?)
Wiki pages to update
Dropsuits: * Light (all variants) * Medium * Heavy
Dropsuit Modules: * Shield Energizers * Shield Extenders * Shield Rechargers * Shield Regulators * Armor Plates * Armor Repairers * Cardiac Regulators * Kinetic Catalyzers * Myofibril Stimulants * CPU Upgrades * Range Amplifiers * Profile Dampeners * Precision ENhances * Codebreakers * PG Upgrades * Heavy Damage Modifiers * Light Damage Modifiers * Sidearm Damage Modifiers
Equipment: * Drop Uplinks * Nanite Injectors * Nanohives * Remote Explosives * Repair Tools * Active Scanners * Cloaks

Vehicles: * Dropships * Light Attack Vehicles * Heavy Attack Vehicles
Vehicle Modules: (some of these have been removed) * Shield Boosters * Shield Hardeners * Shield Extenders * Armor Plates * Armor Repairers * Armor Hardeners * CPU Enhancers * Active Scanners * Powergrid Expansion Units * Mobile Clone Reanimation Unit * Boosts (Afterburners and fuel injectors) * Turret Damage Amplifiers (Hybrid and Missile, separate pages) * Ammo Expansion Units
Vehicle Turrets: * Small Railgun * Large Railgun * Small Blaster * Large Blaster * Small Missile * Large Missile
Vehicle pages not needing work (please let me know if I'm mistaken about these): * Shield Regenerators * Shield Transporters * Shield Resistance Amplifiers * Resistance Plates * Remote Armor Repairers * Damage Control Units * Powergrid Diagnostic Systems * Overdrives * Heat Sinks * Spool Reduction * Tracking Enhancers * Tracking Computers
Thanks for your help! |

Hope you enjoy. Wiki is hard as hell to work with
I appreciate your help, and yes the wiki does take some getting used to!
For the weapon pages to be complete, they'll need to have complete stats like you can see on some of the other existing weapon pages. That requires editing a table which is not easy to do! |

Edit: I'll screw around with it more when i get the chance, i don't know if i'll make tables, but i will sure be able to edit any facts i do know and put those in. A lot of the things on your list our on the wiki, but some of them may be slightly out of date.
I think that's your best approach -- find an existing page with out of date information. That way you can just edit the file (maybe copy the text into a text editor, modify and save as you go, then repaste the whole thing in when ready). By editing it, you can see where the numbers go, and hopefully won't require understanding much of what's going on. |

Thanks Demonsbane! I've marked your name next to that item. And I don't know about the Amarr logi bonus, haven't tested myself. |

Whatever help you're willing to offer is great! If you do decide to look at the logistics section, I'll just split that task in the OP to make it clear that parts of the medium frame page are claimed, but not all. |

(Should be fine for now, I already did most the fixing, but who knows when CCP will nerf it.)
Thanks! I remember you from the Community Spotlight thread, and that you did in fact go ahead with updating that, so much appreciated! Can you confirm that the stats in 1.8 are the same? If you tell me they are, I'll mark that as completed in the OP. |

Yes, it's no walk in the park. Unfortunately, those tables are quite difficult to edit. |

Thanks for the update! The changes look fine insofar as you've edited it correctly. I haven't checked if the stats are right. Were there any changes to slot layouts? |

Arkena Wyrnspire wrote:I have updated the page on nanohives. I only updated the existing nanohives though, and didn't add the state variants.
Arkena, excellent work!
A few notes on the things you've said: * Do you think all these pages that you have updated/listed are now accurate as of 1.8? If so, I'll mark them all as completed. * Linking to guide in those scanning mechanics articles is a good idea * AV stats might be found in https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=40886 * In the link just above, you might also find AV stats, and weapon ranges. So far the wiki doesn't have weapon ranges, but I'd like to start adding those to the weapon tables * I can possibly double check Balac's and Krin's if not in the above link, because I think I have at least one of them. Server down atm so I can't check |

Any page with LP store variants I'll try to make a note next to so that I or someone else won't forget to go around and add those.
Quote: I'll be able to check the Balac's and Krin's later, as I know I have some of both.
I've just updated these myself.
Quote:Also, on your list you still have shield energizers as having been removed. They haven't - but the market categories have been merged so they're found under shield rechargers.
Ah, I missed that at the bottom because it was listed in the main list already. Removed the bottom part. |

Very much incomplete work on my part here. Unfortunately, I'm not well enough versed in the data format used here to do such magical things as insert new rows or fill in new data, just replacing stuff.
What you are doing is very helpful, even if missing LP variants. As soon as I can, I'll look into getting a green highlighter for LP variants, and adding them to the tables if they're not done by then. |

I think the video image looks good on the page, though perhaps a bit large. 10MB is a lot to download without option, or on a mobile device. I will probably move that to be a link to the image instead so that people can click it to load it if they wish. Far from ideal, since it does make the page look better, but I'd like to keep mobile footprint down.
Edit: if you have any alternative suggestions, please let me know. |

you can access it like the aurum or blueprint template by adding {{lp row|text}} at the beginning of the table (just like with the aurum) and adding a {{lp row}} behind the id
if someone knows a better color, tell me hope it helps
I personally think the colour you have chosen works well. I see you added LP variants for the scrambler pistol too. |

Perfect! That page is looking very good now. I think the video link is a great idea, and like you say opens up room for other useful videos too.
Sorry for slow reply -- I've just had a busy two days. |

Officer weapons you will find on the respective pages for the weapon. For example, Gastung's forge gun is on the forge gun page. If there are any missing, please feel free to add if you own them. Forge gun page has not yet been updated to Uprising 1.8. |
