The Development process of Wiki Pages

Detailed Explanation of my process of developing the wiki

Insight into The Development process of all information and Video/Gif/Image/other media tutorials on every spell page currently available.

## Last Update of this page 10/25/22

It should be of note that **any guests in my tutorials are either a training bot or myself on a second account that I use to perform the spells that require a target**/multicasts/Blood Points. There are of course situations where I need an actual person assisting me, but those circumstances are very rare. If I do need assistance from another person, **they will be rightfully credited on the page they're featured in**. The majority/full development of this wiki is a solo project at this time, 10/25/22.

The process in steps + Additional information:

1. I read the patch notes of the new updates in the game mode and write down any new spells that were added and add those to a table of all known spells in Microsoft OneNote in a Notebook. I then test out the new spells in a private lobby with a Target Bot if I need one.
2. I make a new wiki page for the spell once I fully understand what it does/what category it should be in (Attack/Defense/Self-Benefit/other) and add a description of it and the Visual Effects it has + any relevant information about it.
3. Make a lobby in custom games "Written in the Stars" and make a custom preset with the map, hero select settings, game mode (Elimination/capture the flag/control/capture) etc. depending on where I want to film a video tutorial of the spell.
4. Edit the footage (or add light music if I want) and add it to the photo gallery/info box.

For example: I want to film a spell tutorial in the Ilios Ruins **Spawn room**.

* I need the game mode to be on Capture the Flag because Ilios ruins is in that game mode
* If I have a training bot with me they need to be on the same team because we need to be in the same spawn room.
* + if we both need to be mercy I need to change the hero limit on the select screen.
* If I know I want to film more than one replay/spell in the Ilios spawn room, I'll make a preset with these settings.

I keep the new spells separated into a table in sections of up to 10 + Their spell patterns and then print that out onto a sheet of paper. (Sometimes I might just print out some blank tables and write in the info) This keeps things organized and saves time because I can look at the sheet and know what spells I'm going to do in what replay. 10 is the amount of spells I'll usually cast in one replay, but if I have more time then I might do a few more.

After I'm done doing the spells I settle the game (Capture the objective or the flag that overwatch wants me to so the game ends and I get the replay) Without concluding the game, the replay won't save which is why I don't use skirmish because there's no way to end the game. (If I leave it then the replay wouldn't have been recorded.) How the replay mechanic works is that the game needs to either receive a Victory, Defeat, or Tie to save the replay. I do replays because I can choose whatever angle I want to demonstrate the spell from including in third person. If I want a more natural angle I'll use the training bot as a camera or use it's perspective to show what happens when you cast the spell on an opponent.

Unfortunately, Athena does interrupt me during the match when I'm doing a demonstration and it goes down a bit like this:
