Articles unnecessarily protected.

Several pages are marked as protected and it's unclear why. You can see them here. There no specified reason, I couldn't find any indications of abuse, and some of the discussions concluded that the protection was accidental and that admins weren't able to get around to resolving them at the time.[1] It's obvious why Main Page and Featured roguelike‎ would be protected, but I think protections should be removed from all other pages unless a reason can be given. --HexDecimal (talk) 07:26, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

It seems most of these came from a rgrd thing where people would agree to share their articles in roguebasin but specified they didn't want edits. I will dig into it and put the real cause if that's the case. --Slash (talk) 16:19, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
I didn't realize that. It's unfortunate that several of those pages have minor errors which can't be fixed. If that's the case then I think it'd have been better to have external links to the original articles instead of mirroring them on the wiki, or at least segregate them in some way that makes it clear that they aren't normal wiki pages.
I found the RGRD Wiki Project page which mentions that the pages would be protected. These pages were supposed to have the author info in a small template but that seems to be missing from the protected pages I checked. --HexDecimal (talk) 22:31, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Can't upload new images.

I wanted to upload a new image example for Scrolling map but I receive the following error when I attempt to upload it:

Could not open lock file for "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/c/c8/Camera_vectors.png". Make sure your upload directory is configured correctly and your web server has permission to write to that directory. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:$wgUploadDirectory for more information.

I get that error too. Sorry, not something I can help with. Could be connected to the upgrade in July. Slash, can you look into this please.-Muscles (talk) 02:24, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

That Role Playing

Hi, my name is Eugenia, we'd like to add our released game That Role Playing to RogueBasin database of RL games.

Steam link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1673180/That_Role_Playing/ Released: 21 Oct 2021

The game turned out to be really challenging for Steam players for its text puzzles (not shown in Trailer) and tricky combat issues (like retaliation strikes from monsters). There are also a lot of hidden jokes and secrets, The Mystery experience and even more hard problem to return back after many more monsters spawn (not by chance or action, but by precisely right actions).


That Role Playing is a small mixed genre game. It combines clasic computer RPG and Roguelike aesthetics with real-time Action and Strategic resources management along the Adventure mission that takes place. Also it has a bunch of guess-what-it-is textual Puzzles and plenty of Secrets to solve and reveal. You play as the Hero, who travelled far to find and retrieve Seven Crystals of Light and return back to his Fantasy Kingdom.

Desprite intentionally simplified graphics (but with smooth appearing animations) it contains really good music and sounds effects, and also a special kinesthetic sense to every movement and action.

Features:

  • Explore interesting areas
  • Fight Bats, meet Goblins and say hello to Trolls
  • Gain enough Health and Armour to finish your Quest
  • Solve all Puzzles to obtain Legendary Crystals
  • Survive among the Spiders
  • Meet Queen of Forest
  • Return back (the hard part)
  • Find and experience The Mystery
  • Collect all Steam Achievements

And also an alternative Secret Ending...
