The Adventure Zone Wiki

adventurezonewiki.miraheze.org This is the official tumblr for The Adventure Zone Wiki, a fan-run encyclopedia for all things TAZ! We are an independently operated wiki hosted by Miraheze, after we migrated off Fandom.

[adventurezonewiki]

Welcome to the blog for the independent The Adventure Zone wiki!

We are a fan-run encyclopedia hosted by Miraheze, a free, volunteer-run ad-free wiki hosting platform, based on MediaWiki, the same software Wikipedia runs on.

The Adventure Zone wiki was started on Fandom.com in 2015, and was edited as the show started airing. In April and May of 2023, the active users migrated all data to the new platform.

We currently stand as a HUGE work in progress. Virtually every page needs extreme edits, and we are working on setting up several editing guides and making those accessible. You should see a lot of changes in the coming months.

In the meantime while we wait for these organization techniques to come together, and for style guides to be updated, you can peruse the pages and add any missing information you notice.

Make sure to follow this blog for all wiki updates-- and feel free to send any questions you have to our inbox! And if you want to be involved in this community endeavor (including collaboratively creating these guides), join us in our discord!

Thanks Justin!

thank you justin for the specific clarification just for us<3 our editors appreciate it and appreciate the recognition

The Adventure Zone: Royale has a wiki page!

It is pretty barebones right now; this is an open call for contributions!

Making, writing, and editing pages is something anyone can do. Just be sure to check out our guides & policies, and when in doubt for structure, compare to recent previous campaigns' pages (ie Ethersea, Steeplechase).

Campaign 11: Royale

One reference we like to refer to is the episode transcripts-- these are a great resource to take notes, get information, and depend on spellings from.

admin of death blart wiki here! do you want to be official affiliates? we're still getting on our feet and could use the help from the larger side of the greater mcelroy fandom

That would be awesome! Idk if there are things built into miraheze to do that but we could certainly link that wiki on our home page. If you have any questions some of our admins and editors can help to answer them :] activity on the TAZ wiki has died down as of late, I know on my (Sierra) part that's because of how crazy busy my life is and I assume it's similar for other people. But I'd love for our wikis to be affiliated! Stronger together :)

new wiki just dropped

[hbmmaster]

btw if someone wants to help right now a big goal is to get transcripts of all the episodes on here! I'm working on the 2015 one myself right now but if someone wants to start transcribing any of the later ones that would be a huge help

[montrosepretty]

The mcelroy team has transcripts here! It looks like they don't have the newest one transcribed yet, but everything else including the trailer and bonus episode should be in this folder.

the under-praised backbone of any fandom:

fan wiki editors

fan wiki editors who move the wiki off of fandom.com and to an independent host, especially

transcript writers

image description writers

fic rec list curators

translators

everyone who archives an ephemeral ARG or website-based lore dump

everyone who archives and preserves related media in general, for that matter

This is... Not even an understatement.

This is a great reason to support independent wikis! Additionally, two browser extensions that make navigating the world of wikis bearable are Breezewiki and indie wiki buddy. If only a fandom.com wiki exists, Breezewiki makes the page navigable and declutters it. Indie wiki buddy will redirect you to an independent wiki if it exists, pulling from a database which regularly updates based on user submissions and backend review. If you have an independent wiki, you can submit yours! (Hi, we're on that list :])

The next season of TAZ has been announced!

The Adventure Zone Vs. Dracula

In a two and a half minute episode released today, the McElroys have announced a new season. Titled The Adventure Zone Vs. Dracula, it will begin with the first episode releasing on January 11th. The week before, on January 4th, the Seattle Balance Liveshow will release.

The Adventure Zone Vs. Dracula will be GM'd by Griffin, using the D&D 5E ruleset. Clint, Travis, and Justin will be playing vampire hunters trying to kill Dracula.

"These seasons are coming at you short, hot, and fast"

Sidenote from a mod: images are not currently displaying properly and we are not sure why. It could potentially be a site-wide issue. More information to come soon, and worry not, we have our files backed up.

Ethersea Prologue Events

Have you been wondering what exactly happened during the Ethersea Prologues, wanting to keep track of it all in one place?

Look no further. Our team of editors have put together a page with all of that information, from summaries of intros to a table of every turn as the McElroys play The Quiet Year.

Fisher and Junior are now two separate pages!

Previously, they had been lumped together under the singular Voidfish page, which made them hard to distinguish between. We also deleted the categories Knowledge Consumed by the Voidfish and Knowledge consumed by the Voidfish, which were, yes, two separate categories.

Additionally, we are looking for a high-quality image of a panel from the graphic novels featuring the Voidfish, if anyone has one, to use on Fisher's page.

The Sallow - TAZ Wiki page

For today's prompt in @taznovembercelebration I drew sick. And I knew that this month I wanted to try and fit some wiki work into the challenge! So I decided to write about the illness that hits Founders' Wake in Ethersea. I was surprised it didn't have a page yet, but I was happy to centralize everything about it in one place, because it exists in bits and pieces otherwise. You can check it out here:

Ephemera

Hi guys I've just spent hours writing the Ephemera page if anyone is visited in checking it out. It only has information through episode 18 as of now since I am directly sourcing information from the transcripts. But it is truly fascinating and I am exhausted

THE PATHOLOGIC WIKI HAS MOVED TO WIKI.GG!

hey everyone! i'm Mani, i've done a lot of work on the Pathologic wiki in the past and i'm so happy to announce that the wiki is now hosted at wiki.gg!

Pathologic Wiki

The #1 community-generated Wiki resource for Pathologic and Pathologic 2, the plot-driven survival open-world adventure games for PC, PS4, a

it's no secret Fandom is, well, not that good, like at all. wiki.gg is a much smaller host but also is home to other wikis like Wowpedia and hopes to grow! The Fandom wiki for Pathologic will remain up (and the Fandom based wikis for The Void, Cargo!, and Knock-knock will remain as is for now as well) but won't be edited from the main team of the Pathologic wiki any longer.

I ask that you spread this post around, and if you want to contribute to the Pathologic wiki, to help us on wiki.gg!

there's always work to be done on wikis, and with Bachelor route rumours popping up every few months I hope to see more work done on the Pathologic wiki as time goes on. Thank you all for your support and I hope that we can grow on wiki.gg even further!

https:// pathologic . wiki . gg/Wiki/Pathologic_Wiki is the url without tumblr auto linking, just remove the spaces!

Episode Page Names

The Adventure Zone is not the most consistent when it comes to episode titles, especially when you factor in the structures which were unestablished until after Balance aired. Our episode pages in the past have been titled verbatim from the podcast-- which is confusing to navigate when there are so many campaigns!

Because of the confusion, redundancy, and length, of page titles such as Ep. 1: Here There Be Gerblins - Chapter One or The Adventure Zone: Steeplechase – Episode 10, we have come up with a new episode page naming convention, and have been moving existing pages over to it. This naming convention is documented in our Manual of Style.

Campaign – Episode # is the new episode page title format, with bolded elements being replaced by names and numbers of course. We are excited about this change because it clears up a lot of confusion when it comes to searching for or hyperlinking to pages.
