Unreleased Content

The entire purpose of this thread for you is to change skipped content into some other thing with the same god damned content. Because you're so willing to keep information we are not 100% sure of.

If you wish to question a specific piece of information you are not 100% sure is correct, then make a thread for that, one thread can only handle so many issues. Things like bullets of information that are incorrect need close scrutiny and to be done case by case. This thread is assuming any content we did not get that we write about has facts that are true, and no opinions, and as detailed as possible as to not get to the point where it is too detailed. The same standards as the rest of the patches page.

Dude. Just. Dude. I don't think I can ever find someone so stubborn and freaking clueless about the things we discussed and posted.

Let me write in bold for you so that it goes through your thick skull of yours.

Skipped Content is a completed flawed section as it has information we cannot even say that they were skipped. if they were ever planned to be released in NA. or a glitch or some sort. or purposely removed by Nexon it self. or an exclusive content.

Which is why I and others have been suggesting a "Unreleased Content" section which applies to all of the above except for a glitch that has been confirmed to be a glitch. I get that, you get that. I get that you don't want any updates or parts of updates we get out of order or have no confirmation to get at all, and want foreign content to stay it is. Lets just get out of this cycle of confirming the same thing over and over again as if the other person is saying something different, okay?

But how do we know it's "Unreleased"? Maybe it's just exclusive.

By my definition, exclusive content is unreleased content. Unreleased means it is not released. If its exclusive to other servers and not NA, then it is not released.

And guess what Kapra. Guess what the opposite of unreleased is? It's "released" it gives nearly the same effect as "Skipped Content" it's false hope.

If you're referring to giving false hope by saying Exclusive Content will never be released to servers not in the "in", Doppelganger/Shadow Bunshin was initially exclusive content to JP and TW, it was also initially labeled foreign content on this wiki despite not being from KR. It was later released over a year later(?) worldwide to all servers, no longer being exclusive content and no longer being unreleased content. There is hope. Although it is wrong to create false hope, legitimate hope is okay. Though I guess this will now become a debate about what is false hope, so before you say anything, to me false hope is hope where there is a 100% chance that what is being hoped for cannot ever happen. Legitimate hope is anything 99.99% or less.

If you want to make sure people on another website don't say they are entitled to something, removing information on what they say they are entitled to should never the correct solution unless the information itself is faulty, nor should the solution be kill all hope unless it is said that there is 100% chance no hope of ever getting content, such as Nekojima.

We also got told well prior that we'd be getting Doppelganger.

Touche, but you can see where I'm coming from at least?

No because I don't think we should have a Foreign Content/Skipped Content section at all.

I'm not killing hope. I'm killing false hope.

Know the difference.

And do you agree with my definition of false hope and/or legitimate hope? If not, what is yours?

Who on this god damned wiki even ****ing cares about the definition of false hope and real hope? The general consensus is that people are currently believing in things that are neither truth nor lies, there is absolutely no certainty. That's why it's false hope you numbskull.

And what if it does come out? Well good for them, they got what they wanted. No one is hurt, yay.

And what if it doesn't? Then they believed in absolutely nothing. NOTHING. Then people complain about how NA Nexon took away what is "RIGHTFUL TO THEM" and blah blah blah.

This is starting to sound like a bad debate on religion. Lets shift the conversation then if you want. Does it really effect the wiki's interests to censor information in favor of stop people on another website from thinking something?

Yes. If it turns into vandalism and I'm up any day to remove information that is useless to the NA server.

Vandalism is practically completely random and could happen on any page for any reason or even no reason at all. There's no reason to remove something just because some random person might want to randomly mess with a random page on the wiki. They'll do it someway or another, and the only thing we can do is correct it when they do it. It's not an excuse for removing things.

Even if it's 'useless'?

An information is considered useless if it is false, misleading, has too much or too little detail (objectionable), or is in the wrong place (in this case, then you move it to the right place, not remove). That being said, in this case the only thing "useless" would be the name of the section, not the content, so your question is redundant.

"Skipped Content" is misleading.

And I still don't want content that wasn't added that during previous updates because then it's still misleading. "Unreleased" still sounds something along the lines of "Oh, this still hasn't been updated yet."

Then at this point we're making a "Foreign Content" page.

"Unreleased" sounds like something along the lines of "Oh, this hasn't been updated yet" because that is exactly what it is. That is what the majority wants so far. "Oh, this hasn't been updated yet" does not mean it will and must happen, it mean it hasn't happened but could, that's sort of the point.

Most of the people in this thread are in favor of a page specifically for Foreign Content if a section for it is not viable, Rydian for example, as well as Meru I think.

Then you're basically admitting that "Skipped Content" = "Unreleased Content". So now I'm against Unreleased Content as well. Congratulations.

Oh yes, most of these people and you know how many people this is? 5. 5 people, you're basing 'majority' with 5 people. Good job man.

By my definition, Unreleased Content can include but is not limited to:

• Content updates from other servers that we have not gotten (yet).
• Content updates from other servers that we DID get, but did not get the same things of.

By my definition, Unreleased Content does not include:

• Events or cash items from other servers. The Patches page does not cover that, but I wouldn't reject the idea of making a Patches-like page for things like that, but I probably won't contribute or have the enthusiasm to do so.
  • For example, if an item is obtained from an ingame shop like the Commerce Shop, then it is "Unreleased Content" for the patches page. If its an item obtained from an event NPC's shop or from a gachapon or directly from the cash shop, then because it wouldn't be on the Patches page if it were released, it wouldn't be on the Patches page's Unreleased Content section if it is not released.
• Content that NA specifically said we will never get, such as Nekojima.
  • My only exception to this rule is if we are comparing things we do have to things we were told we will never get, such as comparing Doki Doki Island to Nekojima. Though, the patches page doesn't do that so this thread doesn't pertain to that.

So yea, Unreleased Content can include "Skipped Content", but not necessarily the other way around.

And a supermajority of 5 is still a majority. How many people did you expect to respond to your questions? 30?

5 is still an extremely small number comparing to the list of wiki editors. And who on earth said this was based on votes? I asked why for a reason. Ridney or whatever had a terrible reason, which was "All information belong on the wiki." You of all people should know thisbbetter than anyone else considering how much you protected trivia. His vote is as moot as his reasoning.

And if you still haven't noticed, I dont just want the skipped content section to be removed. I want all evidence of "skipped content" removed. Which means all content we didn't get in previous updates with the same reasons i've been repeating for hours. It's misleading and it doesn't belong on the NA wiki

I'm not sure why you keep saying I defend trivia, I cannot remember the last time I advocated for any piece of trivia besides one specific line on the Bread from Nao page.

That aside, I have two things I want to discuss with you.

Rydian never said "All information belong on the wiki." I urge you to please re-read his post, and tell me or him what you think is flawed in his logic.

I also do not really see the difference between "Skipped Content" and "Foreign Content". Why should we have one and not the other? Lets be consistent.

He said the purpose of the wiki is to hold information regardless. It's pretty much the same thing as "If it's related to Mabi, add it." And yes that is completely flawed. Just because something is related to Mabi, it doesn't make it important to the wiki,

When did I say they were different things . _. I also dont want Foreign Content either, it's useless to the wiki. But Foreign Content is possibly the most broad term for "Things we don't have and we're not sure we will get. Because they're foreign." But I repeat this again, I don't want to see that happening because some people may decide to detail it in every way possible. Creating more "Will we get X?" From players and simply because this is the NA wiki. Unreleased and Skipped Content both sound like "Things Nexon didn't release." Thus my issue.

"Just because something is related to Mabi, it doesn't make it important to the wiki."
Why not? Please give me an example of something (that isn't a lie) related to Mabi (that doesn't break the policy) that should not be on the wiki and explain why. (It doesn't have to be something that actually happened before.)

Events on other servers, where to find Mabinogi merchandise and paraphernalia, address of Devcat studios, other providers of Mabinogi. Version number of other services. A lot of information is rather irrelevant in any place on this site. However, we should not feel responsible for, or feel the need to control, the potential thoughts and interpretations of our users. There is never such a thing as fool proof.

The presence of information of unreleased content is not necessarily technically helpful, but also not necessarily harmful if we present it in the formal manner that we usually do. It may not be needed, but there is a non empty set of people who will certainly appreciate it. As Saiyr mentioned below, the "Patches" page is certainly not the best place for it, so we should definitely remove it from this page. Beyond that, it is not entirely harmful to recreate the information intelligently on another page.

-stares at all the deleted trivia-

Shakespeare's plays are one.

@Nise Panda/Sakura (I'm not sure which of your guys' names to use)

I said "related to Mabi".

@Shroom Fonzerelli/WhitePass

It has been suggested in the past to have a page like the Patches page for the release order of NA Cash Shop Items, Gachapons, Events, etc. Of course, this hasn't been done mainly because nobody wants to spend effort on that. If such a page were to exist, then other server's events/etc could be mentioned there if we resolutely agree that other servers' updates could be mentioned here. Merchandise and addresses aren't relevant to the game, unless such merchandise or anything you obtain by going to the address would effect your game (such as getting a prize code for something, which we do do in some cases.) Other providers of Mabinogi, I don't why this is not relevant. But yea, I see your point. Our goal is to not control or persuade our readers, its to inform. Whether or not we think it is helpful, we just need to try to be as helpful as we think we can without messing up the information.

As I have said in this thread and other threads in the past, if the information is not harmful, incorrect, etc; but is just in the wrong place, then lets move it to the right place or make a right place.

Kapra, I don't think you know what Trivia is anymore. Trivia is RELATED but unimportant facts. If it wasn't related, we wouldn't add it.

And if you want me to continue that list, speculation and theories don't belong on the wiki, even if it's related to Mabi. We has plenty of outfits KR and JP has but we don't ever mention them.

We don't talk about the differences between events. KR's balloon event rewards were different from ours and that doesn't belong here.

On the contrary, I do not think you understand what Trivia is. By definition, trivia is important information where relevance exists but is difficult to tie to the subject. Do not confuse trivia with the slang definition of being a sense of insignificance, wikis and the wikipedia do not use this definition. If the reason you keep bringing up Trivia into this thread is because you consider Unreleased Content to be Trivia, then yes, I proudly advocate Trivia. Information needs a place, if we cannot put information in a proper place in a page or give its own page, we should put it in Trivia until we can decide a place for it. Lets get down to what is important and not argue over definitions of a word, please.

Speculation and opinionated views do violate the wiki policy, though.

We do not mention what outfits NA has that another server has due to lack of effort and enthusiasm, not as a rule or norm. Likewise with what other servers got out of events. If nobody is willing to provide information, they do not have to. But if someone is willing to provide information, they should be allowed to. What SHOULD be regulated is where the information they provide is.

In conclusion, I disagree.

By definition, trivia is important information

From what god-forsaken dictionary did you take this out of?
In what possible, if any, context would this hold true?

"But if someone is willing to provide information, they should be allowed to."
No they shouldn't, for various reasons. The policy renewal reflects this to certain degrees.

So, uhh... How about that status unknown box that I would like :D... Says nothing about unreleased or released. A good old box saying we have no idea what's going on with this content, but here it is in case you wanted to know! Even if it isn't here, it will be elsewhere, and people will still be complaining all the same. It's expected of them by now. I recall when the information wasn't on the wiki, they just linked to mabidata instead or just copy pasted all the information from it. We won't be stopping false hope at all, just redirecting it. Everyone's going crazy about ninja stuff, but it sure isn't here on the wiki. I'd rather have the wiki as my one stop place of information. If it helps I can deal with Imbored's suggestion. Even if the content doesn't happen, it's still nice information to have. I don't think the wiki users would want it to go away either. Maybe big red letters telling them not to give their hopes up would help them. I like big red letters :D... Also, I think it's too late to take it away now. Everyone already knows about the future content. It can not be stopped, mwuahahaha. Maybe some vandal will enter all the information anyway. People will believe what they want to believe. I think the reallll question is why doesn't korea want to give us a meager little shield? I saw a gm with a tortoise shield, and he was waving it around. Also, long ago a girl got replacement clothes from a game master. They were supposed to be premium summer wear, and they were, but it was a completely unreleased to this day version. Just going on and on now, so I'll just end it now before I keep typing. Thank you and good night. There's just nothing we can really do to actually solve this. Also, is saying this content isn't released and may never be released, really wrong information to say? I mean it is right in saying that. As long as we keep story line and skill updates here, I'll be good I guess. We should at least have those because people like to plan out their skills. Yes, this post is all over the place and filled with things no one cares about, isn't it?

I hope you know Imbored's suggestion is as good as removing the content entirely and posting it once it gets released on NA. "Hiding it" makes it completely invisible to the readers and you can only view it by opening up the editing, that's not easily accessible information considering how messy the editor is.

premium summer wear is a terrible example, because that's not even a patch. The vandal happened thinking the wiki was telling information about how Free RB was skipped is legit. I can care less about outfits, because they don't even belong on this page and I can care less about how other websites tell the same info, my issue is people using the wiki like a source for these kind of things. The difference between mabidata and the wiki is that, people take the wiki very seriously at times.

Sometimes it's not even Korea that decides not to give us something. Sometimes it's just Nexon. Sometimes it's just a bug. Sometimes it's licensing issues. etc. etc. There is never any clear reason and most of the time Nexon will not answer to why. Why are we even bother adding information who's fate and future we have no clue about? Especially when it's certain content that should(I'm using should very lightly) have arrived in previous patches?
