I am speechless. In the last year, I've been so busy with freelance writing and editing that I haven't been as active as several other members who have really made the site awesome. I hope to share the ENnie win with all our Chroniclers who've helped make it the site it is.

So vote for PathfinderWiki when ENnies voting opens, and help improve the site as you're able by editing pages and adding content.

Is PF and OGL market domination looming on the horizon? Has an era of dragons ended and era of bluish math golems begun? Will adult underoos ever come back into style?

Edible underoos?

"Eat the Hulk, baby."
"Ex-cuuuuuse me?!"

"Oh... What flavor?"
"Mint. Duh."

Go PathfinderWiki!

In celebration of this honor, I have completed a complete index of James Sutter's new book "City of Strangers" (link).

Oh wait, I had been doing that already.

Nevermind.

Go PathfinderWiki!

EDIT: Now I'm even more bummed that I won't make it to GenCon this year.

I'd love to make the search more accurate, and given that the site is hosted on Google Sites and uses Google Search, you'd think it would be better. Unfortunately though, we really have limited options when it comes to changing how the search function works. We can ADD new search options, and tweak page content to try to make the right page come up in a search, but we can't programmatically alter the search feature itself.

That said, CONGRATS TO MARK (and everyone else who helps on it)! PathfinderWiki is an awesome site and fully deserves a nomination. A win? I dunno if I'd go that far though ;)

Spoiler:
I'm going to start a separate thread severely pimping the hell out of d20pfsrd.com now! WOOT WOOT AN ENNIE NOMINATION!!!

That's odd because yours is the only site I have this problem with. d20srd.org doesn't have it.

EDIT: It is also easier to find the stuff I'm looking for on your site using Google.


Interesting.


I'd just like to point out that no one has ever complained about the search functionality on PathfinderWiki.

I should hope not given the straight implementation of the wiki template.

Please go to d20pfsrd.com. Type "scent" into the search engine. See if you even get the Special Abilities page where it is defined.

Here you go

it first goes here Which while not perfect does indeed have a working link for the above.

Lolno.

Compare this

With this

And this

The PFSRD site search doesn't even pull a 1st page link to the Special Abilities page. For this search, it is actually half-way down the second page. I've seen worse for other searches.
The guys over at d20pfsrd.com have something configured wrong. What it is, I don't know, but it's definitely something.


Two more wins for the community. Although, I'll have to heavily weigh what Yoda left on my Facebook when it comes to voting time. How dare he undermine my consumerist advocating with his snark!

Hey Cartigan - I started a separate thread for discussion of d20pfsrd.com and its Ennie nomination. If you want to talk about the search features of the site I request that we do so over there so as not to muck up the Pathfinder Wiki thread with posts unrelated to its nomination :)

also we have indexes for Eye of the Crocodile King and Heart of the Jungle is complete through the first chapter of the book.


Woo hoo!


Major congrats Wiki people! Well deserved!!! (Salutes with klar)

Perhaps the loveable Wiki Monster could visit the thread and accept the nomination?


ARGH!!!!

Congrats to the Pathfinder Wiki people.

I think I said it elsewhere but it bears repeating. You guys have done an amazing job with the wiki, it's extremely well organized and has tons of useful bits. I send my players there all the time.

Paizo Employee Director of Game Development

Yeah, there's certainly something to be said about this site's value when a huge number of contributors use the PathfinderWiki.


Big congrats on this Mark. I use your site and d20pfsrd.com every single time I do any gaming. That right there lets you know how well respected, and useful your site is.

Thanks! I want to make sure I'm not stealing the credit for the site from all the other contributors who do just as much if not more work than me in getting content up there and making it look good. I may be the most vocal and visible member of the PathfinderWiki team, but it's the whole community's site and anyone who's ever made even a single edit on it deserves praise and recognition for their efforts.


Indeed, Mark, but HUGE congrats in any case. The Pathfinder Wiki is an indispensable part of my writing routine, and I'd be like a little lost puppy, flipping through multiple tomes and pdfs without it. Major kudos to you and all contributors, and count on all of our support when the polling opens! Ya' dun good work!

Hey Cartigan (or anyone really) I made some changes to search on the site - can you check if its any better for you and then reply on my other thread (the one for the d20pfsrd.com nominated thread etc) so we don't clutter this thread with non-related matters.


I'm certain that I have to put all my enthusiasm for PathfinderWiki. It is not only an incredibly useful resource available, I do not feel I can say enough good things about the people that put so much effort into the site. I have no qualms putting my full support behind them for this award.

Say, are there any members here who are up for ENnie Judge?

Also, it looks like their site is getting crushed right now. I managed to get my vote in after 4 or 5 tries.

Paizo Employee Director of Brand Strategy

I wanted to take the opportunity to deliver the thanks I would have had we won an award tonight. While the recognition of being nominated is more than we could have ever asked for, not winning doesn't change the recognition that is deserved by everyone who has made the Wiki's success possible.

First and foremost, thanks to Paizo for creating a system that has inspired so many of us to a level that we have dedicated our free time to making this resource and for being so open with their content for fan-generated, non-commercial projects such as this.

I'd also like to thank fellow Chroniclers, Admins, and members of the greater Paizo community. This isn't just recognition of the most active users, but of everyone who has or will contribute to the site in the future. Everyone involved in any aspect should be proud of the Wiki's success. Keep up the great work.

I think it is fitting that the two sites that took home the awards tonight are both collaborative projects much like our own. It bodes well for the work we have and will continue to put into this labor of love. We have a specialized audience of not only Pathfinder players but players in a specific setting. Though we'll probably always have a smaller fan-base than setting-neutral and even moreso system-neutral resources like d20pfsrd.com and Obsidian Portal, the fact that we all utilize user-generated content to aid others in their games shouldn't be overlooked. What we are doing is important, and we all have that to be proud of.

Yeah, I'm disappointed we didn't win, but this just gives us all the more motivation to make the next year even more productive. If Obsidian Portal can win twice in a row, we can get nominated twice, right?

Thanks again for everything!
