New Mechanics Uncovered

• Approximate (if not exact) calculation on how Accuracy mods affect weapon accuracy
  $\text{Resultant Accuracy} = \frac{100}{( (100 / \text{Base Accuracy}) ) * ( 1 + \text{Net Spread Bonus} ) + \text{Flat Spread Modifier} }$
  • Uncovering hidden spread modifiers of many accuracy mods (e.g.  Heavy Caliber)
• Expanding Calculating Bonuses to explain in-depth on the math behind game calculations (most of which were already known, just not formally written down)
• Very sparse information on hidden Damage types and Status Effects

• Post-Update 27.2 (2020-03-05) Enemy Level Scaling formulas added with interpolation of stats between level 70 and 80 determined to be smoothstep
• Content on Devove, FineNerds, & VoiD_Glitch's WARFRAME - Rarity Weights and "Random" Number Generation expanded upon and reworded into a formal wiki article on RNG using known information from in-game Codex and public Drop Tables
• Additional Text Icons discovered along with in-game screenshots added for most icons
• Hidden physical damage bonuses on some Stances' attacks (separate from damage multipliers) formalized on Stance#Melee Combos
• Unique "HCET" interactions with elemental mods and Progenitor bonus on innate single elemental weapons from Lich System. See Lich System#Notes

Backend

Tooltips Refactor and Expansion

• New Module:Tooltips to replace clunky Template:Tooltip and Module:Icon/data. Tooltips now pull from the associated module's /data subpage (e.g. Template:WF gets data from Module:Warframes/data)
  • Credit to User:Gigamicro for design and jump-starting the project.
• New tooltip support for Resources and Focus (e.g.  Argon Crystal and  Void Strike)

Automation

• Most infoboxes are now built in Lua, pulling data from their respective /data module subpage to display to readers
  • For example, Template:Warframe uses Module:Warframes/infobox and Module:Warframes/data
  • Exceptions are lore pages (which typically use Template:Character, Template:Quest, or Template:Infobox), Archwings (Template:Archwing), Necramechs (Template:Necramech), companions (Template:Sentinel, Template:Kavat, Template:Kubrow), and miscellaneous content (which may use Template:Component or Template:Infobox)
• Template:Advantages and Template:Disadvantages now automate the comparison of a weapon's stats against those in a particular weapon class/slot (see Braton for live usage)
• Module:Baro/history now automates Baro Ki'Teer's historical offerings wikitables based on Module:Baro/data
• Template:WeaponNav is automated by Module:Weapons/nav, pulling data from Module:Weapons/ppdata
• All Void Relic pages are automated using Module:Void/page (with the exception of  Requiem I,  Requiem II,  Requiem III,  Requiem IV)
• Weapon Comparison expanded upon with new columns and weapon types, including a CSV output on Weapon Comparison/CSV
• Template:WeaponNav is now built through Module:Weapons/nav based on data in Module:Weapons/ppdata

Modules

• New Lua modules:
  • Module:Baro

  • Module:Shared (using Module:Math, Module:Table, and Module:String for standard libraries)
  • Module:VoidByReward (contents merged to Module:Void)
• Proper procedures for error handling and debugging, outlined on WARFRAME Wiki:Development Guide
• Code style guide established on WARFRAME Wiki:Programming Standards to standardize how contributors update our codebase
• Major code refactors for performance and maintainability:
  • Module:DropTables
  • Module:Stances
  • Module:Void (see User blog:Cephalon Scientia/Relic Pages Update)
  • Module:Weapons
    • Large getter function getValue() refactored into accessing tables that mapped /data key names to functions instead of having dozens of if/else statements acting like a large switch statement
    • Split into multiple submodules: Module:Weapons/ppdata/seeder, Module:Weapons/infobox, Module:Weapons/nav, Module:Weapons/characteristics, Module:Weapons/comptable, Module:Weapons/csv

• New database content previously unsupported:
  • Module:DamageTypes/data - new subtable for Status Effects and special procs
  • Module:Void/data - Requiem relics like  Requiem I
  • Module:Warframes/data - new subtable for Archwings and Necramechs because they are implemented as "powersuits" in-game
  • Module:Weapons/data - Amp prisms and scaffolds, Kitgun chambers, Zaw blades, and Railjack armaments

Internationalization and Localization

• WARFRAME Wiki:Localization Guide established
• Luafied infoboxes through Module:InfoboxBuilder are internationalized
• Translation pages can be found on Special:BlankPage/I18nEdit

Documentation

• Template:Docbunto and Module:Docbunto auto documentation generator forked from https://dev.fandom.com/wiki/Global_Lua_Modules/Docbunto
• All active Lua modules used on the wiki organized in Template:ModuleNav
• Most major modules should have LuaDoc-style documentation describing each function's purpose and usage
• Most major /data module subpages should have a wikitable describing available keys, accepted value types, whether or not key is required, description, and example values
• WARFRAME Wiki:Development Guide, WARFRAME Wiki:Updating Databases, and WARFRAME Wiki:Programming Standards published

Miscellaneous

• Template:Ver now displays version release date for readability

Frontend

Unified Community Platform and User Experience

• Fandom has finally released their new desktop experience, FandomDesktop, with UCP
• With dark theme, comes with updating how we display text and icons on articles for readability on both light and dark themes
  • More awareness of mobile platforms and experience
  • Visual accessibility guidelines
• Template:WarframeNavVisual star emoji (⭐) added next to names of Primed Warframes for visual aid
• Most gallery tags under Media section of articles should now use default gallery type instead of mode="slideshow" for enabling users to click to expand images on desktop

Mainpage

• New reset timers for open-world Landscapes' day/night cycles as well as Grineer Forest day/night cycle
• Swapped Kuva Lich with Lich System link in Template:Mainpage Box Content
• Template:Mainpage Box Featured Videos Responsive added by User:ChickenBar for multiple featured videos

Stylesheets

• New CSS classes in MediaWiki:Common.css:
  • icon to apply invert filter on dark colored icons on dark theme
  • invert to always apply invert filter on images
  • flex-container for Flexbox containers
  • .article-tabs, .article-tabs__tab, .article-tabs__selected for navigation bars added by Module:Navigation
• Various clean up and updates to Common.css after FandomDesktop released
• Consolidation of tabber class names for <div> wrappers of <tabber> tags:
  • tabber-dark → tabber-borderless
  • tabbertab-borderless → tabber-borderless
  • Credit to User:Owlbot for updating these CSS classes on articles

JS Scripts

• Continued support for MediaWiki:NightwaveActs.js and partially internationalized (current act names/descriptions still use EN locale)
  • Image mappings for Nightwave challenges are now stored in NightwaveActs.json (moved from Module:NightwaveActs)
• Refactored MediaWiki:Countdown.js and removing support for Baro timers as they can be implemented as parser functions on pages

Templates

• New tooltip templates Template:D, Template:Resource, Template:Focus that replaces Template:Icon.
• New Polarity template Template:Pol that replaces Template:Icon.
• New Template:YouTube and Template:Gfycat for embedding videos. See Devstream 158 for sample usage.
• New Template:Audio for a simple inline audio player for .ogg files. See The New War/Transcript for sample usage.
• New Template:Navigation for creating simple navigation bars on the top of pages, similar to Template:Top but more generic.
• New Template:Advantages and Template:Disadvantages for standardizing how we determine weapon stat advantages and disadvantages. Uses data from Module:Weapons/ppdata.
  • Removal of text like "Innate X damage - (less) effective against X health/shield/armor type" since realistically speaking, players will mod for the elemental damage effective against the enemies they are fighting so these type distribution (dis)advantages are slightly misleading and unhelpful. In addition, it does not account for proc distribution that may be more desired for procing certain status effects. For example, while it is true that  Impact damage is more effective against Machinery and Shield and is weak against Cloned Flesh and Flesh, high Impact damage distribution may be less desired for builds that rely on  Slash procs for dealing against armored enemies.
  • Polarities are not considered an innate advantage now since it is only an advantage for builds that actually make use of said polarity. This nuance removes it from the advantages section and should just be noted as a general characteristic. See https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Twilight053/Common_Mistakes_on_Weapon_Characteristics?commentId=4400000000001895915&replyId=4400000000006041838.
  • The descriptive words used to describe certain stats are based on the boundaries for the following percentiles:

    90-100% - "Very high"
    75-90% - "High"
    60-75% - "Above average"
    45-60% - "Average", does not display anything
    30-45% - "Below average"
    15-30% - "Low"
    0-15% - "Very low"

    • This classification will be used on most Characteristics sections on weapon articles when comparing a weapon's advantages and disadvantages to other weapons in the same domain. For example, launcher weapons will be compared against launchers of the same trigger type and single dagger melees will be compared against other single daggers.
  • Why are we automating this process?
    1. Standardizing how we communicate statistics to readers (is 20% crit chance high or average since you expect to crit every 5th shot? Or is it low because there are many weapons that have a crit chance over 20%?). A while back Discord members settled on a percentile-based system to describe what stats are "very high", "high", "average", "low", or "very low". More details on https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Module:Weapons/ppdata
    2. Ease of editing. There are over 400 weapons in the game and it is tedious to manually update every relevant weapon page the moment DE releases a weapon with better stats due to power creep. Automating the process via templates/modules using the data stored in https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Module:Weapons/data makes this easier for editors to keep up to date and allow them more time to focus on doing other important things on the wiki.
    3. Ability to use data directly from Module:Weapons/data which opens up opportunities for expanding this section to include new base/computed stats to compare against
• Template:Docbunto added for generating documentation pages based on LuaDoc tokens in code. For use on /doc subpages in the Module namespace
• Navigation box templates:
  • Template:LoreNav
  • Template:ModuleNav
  • Template:PlexusNav
• Top navigation templates switched to flexbox containers for responsive and portable design:
  • Template:FocusNavVisual
  • Template:SentinelWepsNavVisual
  • Template:SyndicatesNavVisual
  • Template:WarframeNavVisual
• Visual changes to inline block cells Template:MarketBox and Template:SynOfferBoxVC.

      twitch decided they do not want us embedding their content
      unfortunately they have refused to change their mind
      we will be providing a disclaimer when you try to embed something from twitch to clarify that
      
      TK-999 SicIuvatIreSubUmbras#1273 November 9, 2021 6:24 PM (PST)
      well twitch blocked the entire fandom.com domain and didn't reconsider
      
      TK-999 SicIuvatIreSubUmbras#1273 November 9, 2021 6:26 PM (PST)
      I don't know in what context twitch made the decision they made, but I do not think "rivalry" was a factor
      could've been anything from too many embeds/too much traffic/wanting to drive people to view content on twitch directly or whatever
