Menhirs Fate Wiki:Interactive Map

The Interactive Map & Timeline of Elandra is built entirely from this wiki. This page is the index of every page, category, and template that feeds it — what each does, who edits it, and how. If you maintain the map, start here.

How it works (30 seconds)

The wiki is the single source of truth. A sync job reads the pages below, turns them into data, and the map renders it. You edit the wiki; the map updates on the next sync (and a page reload). You never edit the map's data files directly.

Two ways to edit:

• In the map's Edit mode (recommended for geometry, corruption, Ages, and dragging build/event markers) — open the map, toggle Edit, and save back to the wiki in place. Crew sign-in required.
• On the wiki (for build/event content + the registry tables) — edit the pages below directly.

1. Content you author

The day-to-day. New builds and events start as private Crew: drafts and reach the public map once an editor publishes them (moves them to the public namespace / category).

What	Published	Drafts	Template	How to add
Funded Builds	Category:Funded Build	Crew:Partially Funded Builds/…	Template:BuildPage	Map → Settings → Crew → New Build, or create a page using the template.
World Events	Category:World Event	Category:Crew World Events (Crew:WorldEvents/…)	Template:Tl	Map → Edit → + World Event at this point, or create a page using the template.

Full field reference + examples: see the authoring guide below.

2. Registries (the lists)

Each is a wikitable on a Crew: page (so the public can't alter what the map depends on). Edit the table to rename, recolour, retire, or add an option. The sync reads them on its next run; the map falls back to built-in defaults if a page is missing.

Registry	Sets the list of…	Columns
Crew:Build Types	build types (marker colour + glyph)	Slug ǁ Display name ǁ Colour ǁ Glyph ǁ Notes
Crew:World Event Types	world-event types (timeline icon)	Slug ǁ Display name ǁ Icon ǁ Notes
Crew:Build Statuses	build lifecycle statuses (funded → destroyed)	Slug ǁ Display name ǁ Terminal ǁ Colour ǁ Notes

3. Map data (machine-managed)

These hold JSON the map reads — also in Crew: so they're protected. Prefer editing them through the map's Edit mode — it writes valid data back automatically. Hand-editing is possible but easy to break.

Page	Holds	Best edited via
Crew:Map Geometry	nation/realm polygons, colours, lifecycles, map textures	Map → Edit → drag vertices / pick colours
Crew:Revealed Areas	the Corruption fog snapshots (year-stamped)	Map → Edit → corruption snapshots
Crew:Ages	the five History-mode Age bands	Map → Edit → Ages

4. Templates

• Template:BuildPage — a Funded Build.
• Template:Tl — a World Event.
• Template:Tl / Template:Tl — a nation / realm article (links the polygon to its wiki page).

Authoring guide

The complete field-by-field reference (date format, slugs, build status timelines, the draft → publish lifecycle) lives in the project's authoring guide. Keep it next to this page, or mirror its contents here.

Conventions

• Dates are year.chunk (~4 chunks/year). In-world year is 1026; the LARP began 1025.
• Slugs (type/status ids) are lowercase letters/digits (statuses also allow underscore). Unknown values fall back to a sensible default.
• Crew: namespace = private draft. It only reaches the public map once published.
• Build statuses are a timeline — a build can be marked deteriorating/destroyed at a year, and the map shows its whole lifespan.
