Does pre-ordering from Paradox through the Wiki page rather than Steam help support the WIki?

I tried to pre-order twice, but though the Paradox store seems to process, no email and no charge on the card appears and it pops backward a couple of screens. If YES to the question, I'll try some more.

The source of visitors and purchasers does get tracked, but it doesn't directly impact the wiki, no.

From what I hear, Paradox does get a bigger cut on their own site than on Steam though.
 
Eh, guys I have a problem; my race is both Xenophile AND Militarist. Does this mean I'm hit with a permanent -2.5% Happiness?
According to the Wiki, it says exactly that. I'm just asking here to be sure...

The wiki should be correct. The balance implications of that is a discussion that should be taken elsewhere though.

All right, cheers. Just wanted to be sure! ^^
 
On some pages in the Wiki (e.g. http://www.stellariswiki.com/Buildings) there is no description to the effects. Just the pictures where you can mouse-over to see what it means.
Will it stay like this? Because that makes searching for buildings with a specific effect a bit harder (strg + f "happiness" won't find me buildings that increase happiness).
Also it would be easier to read with text.

That will be fixed.

It has been corrected.

I would love a race/empire planner... that would be a fun way to pass the time until Monday!
 
Will the phenotype pictures on the Species page be updated to include the new portraits (Nova pre-order Arachnid, Creatures of the Void, Chirpy-inspired owlbird), or will that only come post-release and/or by users' hands?
 
Is someone poking the wiki with a backhoe? Can't get to anything other than the front page as of the t/ds of this post.

As far as I can tell, a cache filled up, causing issues. The size limit has since been increased.

At the present time, I still get heavy difficulties to browse and edit the wiki.
Still? Load should be normal currently. The CPU load isn't maxxed.

Do note that some pages (E.G., technology) are so long that they lag on the client side while being edited.
It's also relying too much on templates, which can cause similar issues.
 
I noticed long pages take longer to load, but this is a different issue. Twice I even got an error returned from the server. Don't remember what the message was, but I'll post it if it occurs again.

Also, note that the http://wikis.paradoxplaza.com/ link fails (ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS).

Edit: The issue seems to be gone for now. Probably some other cache issues.

Known issue. It'll disappear the next time the Apache web server restarts (tomorrow morning).
Already fixed, but restarting the Apache server causes the whole server to be slow for a while, so that's not considered pressing enough to fix immediately.

@Meneth
I note that the second person is frequently used in this and other wikis although it is not supposed to be in the style guide. Is this based on tutorials often often using the second person to be friendlier, or should that be cleaned up?

Also, should defined technical terms be written in italics, or with initial capitalization? Since a wiki is not linear, a technical term is first defined for the reader wherever the reader happens to first encounter it, so it seems logical to either distinguish such terms that way or simply write them in normal text lower case.

Sometimes the usage is inconsistent on a page or portion, and I think inconsistencies distract from the reading so would like to fix what should indeed be fixed as I come upon them.

Thanks.
