Main Page
Welcome to The Archives of the Marquise!
This is the Archives of the Marquise! An archival worldbuilding wiki for ideas and stories by Wren the Dragon Marquise!
Here is my Carrd with additional links and about me's. I am expecting to maintain this wiki for my own worldbuilding projects, at least for the time being.
Editing Notes
This is more for myself so I don't forget later.
To add a new page: Either use double square brackets on an existing page, then create a new page from the red link, such as:
[[Blorbo]]
OR go directly to a non-existant page and create it from there. Example, create a page for something called "Blorbo" by going to:
https://archivesofthemarquise.miraheze.org/wiki/Blorbo
To add a page to a category (existing or new), add the following to the end of a page, on a new line for each category for easier readability:
[[Category:Name]]
Just replace Name with the name of the category! If it doesn't already exist, you will also have to create the category pages as well!
To create a redirect (such as for acronyms) use: #REDIRECT [[link to page]]
To view all pages and sort through them, see here. To view all categories in the same manner, see here.
For common templates of how certain articles are organized, see here as well as the Templates category. For the templates page, it's really more of like checklists of what to include in certain types of articles. More will be added as the archive grows. For the Infoboxes, remember to use the Portable Infobox Builder to create new ones. Much easier than making them manually!
Further info about handling and editing infoboxes can be found at the following sources: one, two, three, example infobox from a Fandom wiki
Info about creating galleries can be found right here. Images can be uploaded in the first place in the Upload Files page, under Tools on the left side. Remember to include proper image categories once the file is uploaded!
On that note, here is the overall image category. All images should be listed here, and further specific image categories (mainly by setting/project) should also be included here.
Edit CSS for the wiki here! Can be used to narrow it down to things like specific tags in the infoboxes.
Categories and Pages can be renamed using the Move option in the More menu at the top of each page. However, this means needing to make redirects and rename other links! Be careful with naming!!
Current Main Stories (i.e. major series/sandboxes/settings/etc.):
- The Storyverse overall (technically holds the rest of these)
- Janitor Menagerie (Storyverse)
- The Monstriends Project (Pokemon/Digimon/etc.)
- Thaumaturgaea (Hard magic setting)
- Ethermos (soft magic/high fantasy setting, overall influenced by tabletop games, mythology, folklore, and solarpunk concepts)
Planned Stories within the Storyverse:
- Euphoric Melancholy (Technically soft fantasy and soft sci-fi setting, yet neither at the same time...)
- Galaxia 793X (Hard sci-fi setting, mostly post-cyberpunk and solarpunk ideas)
- The Glens of Eventide (Setting for Tales of the Monstrum and others, soft gothic/Halloweeny fantasy)
- Halcyon Knolls ("Cartoon Channel")
- The Lands of Averth (Bird fantasy setting)
- The Nightfallen Realms (Setting for Duskglows, along with other soft sci-fi ideas. Mainly meant to be Homestuck-esque but at least a bit better... The "Dark is not evil" setting, with 'weird' elements: cold, dust, metal, blood, poison, astral, lunar, neon, rot, rust, etc.)
(Note to self, will need to check the metadata files exported from W*rld Anv*l for some of the needed Category descriptions.)
To-do List
This section is for further specific articles and refinements that need to be made, especially once more of the base information has been organized and posted here.
- Port over the Toyhouse profiles of the main 7 Janitors (plus their partners) to this wiki, including uploading their images. (6/14 done)
- Port over Toyhouse profiles for the 'main' characters of Euphoric Melancholy as their own pages. They were still under construction, so make changes as needed. (0/21 done)
- Make summary pages for the remaining major projects (i.e. the "Planned Stories" list above) (1/7 done)
- Specific individual pages for the Monstriend Project Elements, or otherwise have a more expanded description of each in the existing Elements page (0/36 done)
- Specific individual pages for the Monstriend Project Origins, including Forms under each Origin, or otherwise have expanded descriptions for each Origin, and descriptions/examples for each form (0/15 done)
- Specific individual pages for the Thaumaturgaea college courses
- Perhaps make the pages for the specific degree/career path instead? Each course might not be enough for a full page. (0/16 done)
