elanthipedia:Projects/Player Lore

This project is for organizing and coordinating player created lore or theories. The category will include player fiction and in game logs which are not necessarily an accurate reflection of official game lore. The goal of this project is to promote visibility of the community's creativity and to encourage more.

Task List

Phase 1: Template & Form Design

• Create PlayerLoreContent Template -- To create a standard framework for either the fiction or the log.
• Create PlayerLore Form -- To provide an easy to input and informational form that affixes the PlayerLore and Story templates.

Leaving PlayerLore template alone because it may be used in other articles that we don't want to break. --TURQ2 (talk) 02:00, 16 December 2025 (CST)

Phase 2: Categorization

• Review wiki for fiction content articles and update them for the new template.
• Review wiki for logs of in game events which are NOT ran by a GM or about official content. (Vision Meetings would not get recategorized.)

Phase 3: Promotion

• Create landing page for Player Lore
• Timeline for submission?
• Add to the Main Page
• Advertise to players!
