Seemed to be down for 2h 23min, our hoster did had some network issues I guess. The VPS was running smooth, although had neither in or outside a connection.

Granted, but it is just discovered date of new release of their web page. (Happy B-Day @Halfling).

I wish for something Carcassonne related for my Birthday tomorrow also.


Off-topic: It is not Carcassonne related, but it's HiG related news. Citadels EN DE (marked as 2022) was released on cundco.de today. https://cundco.de/brettspiele/a-c/477/citadels-2022-de?c=5


Edit: Fixed EN -> DE, for some reason Google autotranslation in Chrome translated Citadels DE to EN. Only Pigeons know why...
why o why is that box so big.  ???

Mildly interesting fun fact

Carcassonne on BGG is ranked 200, I can remember when I started to play in 2014 that it was still top 100, how time flies

BUT, when we look differently, it is still the number one game !

https://boardgamegeek.com/browse/boardgame?sort=numvoters&sortdir=desc

let's keep it that way ;)

BGG ranking is really weird and only about people that are actually participating on BGG. Although those votes are very high :)

At least for WICA, the Google Analytics stats do not match...

Check the top 5 countries visiting the site in the last 90 days.
* 1st: China with 13,994 sessions
* 2nd: USA with 8,090 sessions
* 3rd: UK with 4,773 sessions
* 4th: The Netherlands with 3,708 sessions
* 5th: France with 3683 sessions

Poland has only 1,370 sessions as you can see.

Those stats are just displaying some of our traffic. As a lot of current browsers have built in systems to block Google's Analytics. So those are probably 1.5 times higher or perhaps more.  O0

@carlium finished his translation into Spanish. So some testing and I think it can be send to @farin as final updates with support of 9 languages.
Awesome  O0

I think it can be both. Although a Wiki Carpedia is a wiki about cars  ???. So isn't it a WikiCARpedia as it was in it early days the CAR we referenced to  ???.

Well I don't know it really, I mostly say WiCa or wica in short or just wikicarpedia without capitals or sometimes with.  8)

I'm not sure what value quizzes would add to WICA even without being interactive.

I really agree with Scott, they do not add value to the purpose of WICA as rule book.

https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Marcel_Gr%C3%B6ber or https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Timeline are not related to rules...

To argue, the first is a person that has worked on the Carcassonne products, the timeline shows when what is published for the first time. Depends more than a quiz in my opinion, it's not that the quizes have been held by HiG or something a like. Although I admire the work Meepledrone (and others) has put in those quizes.

What about adding interactive quizzes on WICA at "Quizzes" page (https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Quizzes) or another page? This could be done using "Quizzes" extension of MediaWiki (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Quiz).

Hey, saw this post just now.

I do not think it adds any extra value to the wiki to have Quizzes that you can select an answer.

Just all the questions in one sector and then the answers after or something would do to.

But that's my honest opinion.  ^-^

@Meepledrone made some test for inline references. Can't find URL for it.
The footnotes that popup now are quite nicer then having the inline always there :)

Go at https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Main_Page#Base_game_set. Hover over the text "Base Game". You will see an (empty) popup. The issue is that Popup extension enables both Page Previews (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Page_Previews), that is not needed on WICA, and Reference Previews, that is needed on WICA. Maybe there is a way to disable Page Previews while keeping Reference Previews enabled?

Pagepreviews sadly won't work on the mainpage, but work everywhere else. Due to the strange way of templating. You can join the conversation at Discord about this.

Is anyone willing to pick up a 2022 Essen bonus tile for me? :-)

Same here, I suppose the Essen bonus tile and the Ukraine tile would be gone by Saturday afternoon. Would anyone able to get one for me?
I expect them to be there still.
