You can't compare how a database site works in comparison to how a wiki works. Probably the best we would be able to do is expand on our categorization tree to include categories for the various variables.
And a wiki IS a form of database, it's just not wired as directly as something like wowstead.

Sixen posted a message on Unofficial Diablo III Armory
DiabloFans now has an unofficial iPhone App, Diablo III Armory. It's not exactly made solely by us DiabloFans (but it is made by a good friend of ours), and it's pulling our news stream, so you can get DiabloFans news from just about anywhere now! In addition to our news feed, the App offers the following:
- News feed from diablofans.com
- Game information page (FAQ)
- Classes page to showcase each class and their skills.
- A skill calculator built completely for the iPhone platform.
- Easy swiping while viewing skills to see rune effects.
- Calculator can save/name builds, load them later, and even print out a Bnet URL of your build (in case you want to share it).
- And more to come, ;).
The app is completely free as well, so go download it and enjoy Sanctuary from anywhere on Earth! Those of you with Android devices (I only have an Android :() will have to wait for an app. Whether or not we develop an Android app as well is solely based on the success of the iPhone app. For more screenshots of the app, you can check the temporary support site, or watch the video below.

Mmkay, I'll put the contest up today, save this for tomorrow night then.Quote from Jackzor
Ok. Any update on when we're doing the beta key contest? This could probably wait till after that if we're putting up the contest soon. Either way one of my articles (this or the mantra one) will/should imo wait until after the contest. Or both. Although we could just wait for the hype surrounding other beta contests to subside before starting ours.

Exactly. It's such a good thing they make those edges extra sharp in case people want to use them as knives <_<
What a strange coincidence:
Edit: misspelled tetanus. Figures.
Hey guys, I haven't been on as much as I have wanted to be lately because I am currently in the middle of separating from my wife. I will still be on and have access, I am just not sure how much time I will have in between everything else that is going on. I still plan on getting out beta articles and coverage but it just won't be as consistent as I had planned on.
I want to make some offhand joke about the inevitability of any marriage breaking up over Diablo III-addiction, but I guess this isn't the time for that. I hope everything goes as smoothly as possible for both of you, and don't worry, it looks like Winged has things under control, anyway -

Wynthyst posted a message on Thanks for listening! just a few more things.....Hi guys! Sixen has graciously given me access here so I can leave you messages when needed, but please continue to use the wiki or IRC to contact me if you need me, as I'm horrible at checking pms on forums!Posted in: Wiki Sysop Forum
After the meeting tonight (which I thought went really well and for that I thank you), I was thinking about the proposal to dump the imported data into the Template namespace, and it just doesn't sit well with me.
Wikis have a basic inherent structure with each default namespace having a defined role, which in some cases includes modified functionality. Since we are going to be hit with a massive influx of new editors, I'd like to keep basic wiki structure and function as normal as possible. Also, dumping thousands of individual pages into template space just to be transcluded somewhere else is just messy and an organizational nightmare.
So... here's what I've come up with instead. The Data namespace. This should still provide the same functionality, with only the addition of :Data: in your transclusion links. We can also restrict the Data namespace as a whole to only admins to avoid any potential vandalism of the dumped data (at least to begin with). I have discussed the idea with both Bumble and Kaelten, and they both agree it is a much cleaner way to proceed, so I have gone ahead and implemented it effective Tuesday morning.
Other than that, this is an exciting time for Diablo Wiki (and Dfans too!), and I'm glad I have a chance to be part of it. Please feel free to message me on my talk page or IRC any time if there is something I can help you out with. -

Magistrate posted a message on IDEA!Since we didn't get to start beta yet for some fucking retarded reason, we could create casual interview articles from people who are in it already, as evidenced by the threads in the class forums.Posted in: Completed Work Area
While this won't necessarily provide awesome new news, it will be a nice extension to the community, it will answer some more pointed questions, and it can serve as filler.
Thoughts? - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Diablo III beta testing the first stage of the preparation, employees and executives of the North America, friends and family (F & F) limited to the internal test is just beginning. However, in North America yet for general player beta, does not start, North America, including Korea, other than the beta test areas still of nothing has been decided that there is no notice, you must you. Even if the beta Diablo III invited to the related to you, to acquire personal information, which is aiming at Phishing is highly likely, please note that I wish you.

Diablo III is in the first stage of preparation for beta testing. F&F of employees and executives of NA are invited to the limited internal test.
However, In NA for general beta, it hast not started yet. No date has been decided for NA including Korea and other test areas for this test.
Even if you are invited to the Beta, Blizzard will never ask for your personal information, as in such is a attempt at Phishing. I wish you good luck.
