I mostly play on the Discovery Redemption server but can be found on GC once in a great while. It's not really worth listing my characters here with how infrequently I play on GC.
I admin the Discovery Redemption Wiki, including creating and modifying templates.
Faction Infobox2
The Faction Infobox2 is my work to improve the Faction Infobox for the Redemption wiki. I decided to share it with GC because the original is mostly part of this version.
The most notable differences are:
- The "server" variable was removed. Neither GC nor Redemption host pages for other servers so I thought it to be a useless variable.
- The "type" variable was previously unused. I have given it the purpose that I think the original author had in mind.
- I have added more variables for a more profound infobox that makes things easy for the reader to find pertinent faction information.
- base2 - for those factions that use a secondary base of operations.
- primaryID
- secondaryID
- IFF
- tag - show off your faction tag, this variable should display special characters since it uses the nowiki command.
- recruitment - link to your recruitment thread! Or tell everyone recruitment is closed!

Recent version improvements
The most recent version can be found on the Redemption wiki. It has some features that are not included in the version on the GC wiki.
Type variable now does the following:
- Chooses the appropriate template for the top of the page between Player Faction, Player Group, or NPC Faction.
- When NPC is the variable the template will automatically display the ID information for the faction based on the page name.
- This does cause issues with factions where the page name does not match the ID name.
- Like Nomads when the page is called Slomon K'Hara instead of Nomads, for example.
- This does cause issues with factions where the page name does not match the ID name.
Features being worked on
Next feature to be worked in is making the IFF more automated. This will probably include an external template.
