I noticed the devs using a few new terminal commands in the recent stream, specifically relating to monarch power and other new features and flavour events. Might be worth putting a console command page up at some point. Stream was pretty good for new tidbits, I believe someone mapped the starting values of trade nodes from it in another post too.

There'll definitely be a console command page eventually; both the CKII and V2 wikis have that. Not sure there's much point starting one before the game is released though, as it won't bring much advantage; all console commands can probably be dumped to the log, as that's doable in CKII.
 
Made a new logo. Here's a before-after:

Not quite sure whether or not to keep drop-shadows.

I like better the one on the left.
 
Both because the letters are less stretched and because of the shadow drop.
 
Paradox has now given us written permission to use game assets on the wiki. All Paradox assets (primarily images) are copyrighted by Paradox and licensed to the wiki for use; using those assets in other places than the wiki is thus not necessarily legal, but something one would have to ask Paradox about. The following applies to all such assets: Copyright © 2013 Paradox Interactive AB. www.paradoxplaza.com
Anything created purely by editors (primarily text, but also some images) is owned by the wiki but can be used on other websites under the CC BY-SA 3.0 license. So if you want to use any assets owned by the wiki on other websites or for any other purpose you can do so without requesting permission as long as you give attribution and license it under CC BY-SA 3.0.

Tl;dr: Anything owned by Paradox, including game screenshots, is owned by Paradox and you'll have to deal with them when it comes to licensing. Anything owned by the wiki can be used for any purpose assuming you attribute it to the wiki and distribute it under the same license. Anything else on the wiki may be public domain or licensed under other agreements.

Because Paradox has given permission to the wiki network, and consents to the wiki being published under CC-BY-SA, I think that distributing exact copies of the wiki articles wouldn't require individual permission from Paradox for the copyrighted content contained therein. But Paradox's permission doesn't extend to potential derivative works of wiki content.

I think the length of both lines on the right should be the same perhaps increasing the relative size if 'WIKI'
 
Every content page on the wiki has now had a version template added to it, so that once the game itself releases they'll be marked as outdated. This should make it a lot simpler to get the wiki accurate once the game releases.

In other news, we now have 80 content pages. Many thanks go to Mayernik311 for his massive help in keep the wiki up to date with the dev diaries.

As longs as it's better written than 'Victoria2wiki' (ugh), then great!

Not sure if you know, but there's a new Victoria 2 Wiki opened a couple months ago, which is also hosted by me. By now it's a lot better than Paradoxian's was, though many of the pages imported from Paradoxian have not been rewritten yet. They are all categorized as imports though, so they're gradually being dealt with.

The EU4 Wiki starts from scratch though with my oversight, so there should be a lot less badly written articles :)
For an example/proof, see the CKII Wiki, as there I was involved from the very beginning unlike with the V2 one.
 
Well, if the CKII wiki is anything to go by then there's nothing to worry about. Good luck standardising the Victoria 2 country guides, though.
 
Right, so I'm planning to put up a front page of sorts for all the wikis, like Paradoxian has.
Any idea what I could call the wiki network? My best idea so far has been just "Paradox Wikis", but it's not the most exciting name ever.
