Adding and updating bands, Translating content into Spanish --Gabpull (talk) 22:57, 8 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Time to touch bases again. the latest news is as follows:
 * - The image on the main page has been replaced with an infobox with some basic statistics and a box with the latest bands pages.
 * - The processing of the Bands Queue is ongoing and will, as it looks now, take a few months before we reach the letter Z. At which point there will be even more bands waiting to be added. Luxury problems, huh? :-)
 * --Fritigern (talk) 23:00, 6 February 2017 (UTC)


 * One moment there's no news for months, next there's two news entries in a little over 24 hours!
 * - The modification of the external links has been completed. Talk about boring work, but the result is neater looking pages!
 * - The layout of the pages has changed slightly to make the the grouping of the fields more logical. "Years Active" has been placed beneath "Active". "Associated Acts" has been moved to the bottom of the page and the "Contact Info" field was placed above that.

 * After a very long time without any new news (but NOT without activity!), we are happy to give you three bits of news:
 * 1) You can now search bands by continent. Go to Bands by Continent to start exploring bands on whichever continent you wish.
 * 2) Finally, FINALLY we can start working on adding bands from the Bands Queue. The first four bands that had the honor to be removed from the queue (because they got their own pages) are Soldados de Deus‎‎, Božje Ovčice, Heart Like War, and Tattered Angels.
 * 3) We will be editing existing pages to change the way external links look. For example, if a page has a link like http://someband.bandcamp.com it will be changed to look like this: Bandcamp. This goes for all external links on band pages, except for the link to the band's homepage, if they have one.

 * The Wiki has a new color scheme which matches the wiki's subject better. It's still being tweaked, but good enough for every day use.
 * --Fritigern (talk) 01:42, 9 October 2016 (UTC)


 * The members template now finally supports more than one instrument per band member. You can add up to 3 instruments (vocals are an instrument too!), but if that's not enough, we should see about adding more.

 * NEW PAGE : The Bands Queue is a system page where all the bands will be parked which are queued to be added to the wiki. Some bands should not be there though, and others just fall outside the scope of the wiki. But it's assumed that most of these bands will be a perfect fit for this wiki, which aims to catalog bands ranging from Pop Punk to whatever is the hardest, fastest and rawest punk in the world!

 * In other news, I have finally completed the task of adding albums and tracklists. Adding nearly 300 albums for 135 bands took me nearly a week. But look at the results!!!
 * Having said that, there is still a lot of info missing, and you can help by adding what's missing!

 * The wiki finally got its own logo! That's right, I got off my butt and requested that the host would change it for me. This is starting to look like home!
 * --Fritigern (talk) 19:00, 25 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Have a look at these little pics in front of the album titles, that's the corresponding album art. I have uploaded 280 of them and added them to the band pages, one by one!
 * The next multi-day project will be to create album pages which will feature the track lists for each album.
 * After that have been completed, I can finally direct my attention to adding even more bands, adding missing discographies/albums and hunt down the lists of band members, which are sure to exist somewhere on the interwebs!

 * After a bunch of revisions and edits, I believe that Getting Started really is starting to come together.
 * I still have to tackle a couple of things there, but the step-by-step guide is already quite workable. I also tried to make it easy for those that need only a few words to read and follow the guide. Go and see what I mean! Leave comments and suggestions on the discussion page of the "Getting Started" article!

 * Effective immediately, only logged-in users will be able to edit pages. What does this mean for you? It means that you will need to register an account on this wiki if you haven't done so already. the reason for this is that there have been many edits from users that were not logged in, and some were made incorrectly. Without a username, there is no way that we can show people how it is done properly so the problems persisted.

 * Today is probably not going to see much activity, as I will be kept pretty busy with shopping, doctor's appointments and chores. Ah, family life! :-)
 * But when I find some time to spend on the wiki, I will be going over these bands and add album art and create album pages using this template.
 * That reminds me, I will have to add more fields to that template, especially the record label is sorely missing.

 * OOPS, forgot to mention that today the bands' discographies will be tackled.
 * --Fritigern (talk) 22:45, 15 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Been tweaking the band template, uploaded band logos and more. So much more! Tomorrow discographies will be added. For now, sleepie time!
 * --Fritigern (talk) 08:56, 15 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Just finished adding some of the band logos to band pages. Also reverted the use of certain templates on band pages, as their functionality is already included in the band template
 * --Fritigern (talk) 00:22, 15 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Done adding bands. Time to look at the template again.
 * --Fritigern (talk) 21:34, 14 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Adding all the bands from my collection, without adding any info other than country. Will add as much missing info as possible at a later moment.
