Hello there! I thought I'd come in and share some details on changes that happened recently.

I will mostly share quick notes below, but if you have questions about any of what's mentioned, feel free to visit the links or ask me anything!

---

Technical Updates:

• Structured Quotes have been implemented – These are optional to use, but a way to introduce structured data into wikis.

• "New Visitors vs. Returning Visitors" chart clarification on Special:Analytics – It used to reflect the data from 1 day, and has been rectified to cover 30 days, like the other charts.

• Blog posts unintentionally became editable to everyone recently, rather than just the author and the wiki moderators; this is now fixed.

Experiments/Tests:

• Interactive Maps performance improvements – Testing is happening at wikis using this feature, as an attempt to improve map rendering performance.

• Mobile Drawer released for logged-out users on mobile – This drawer was an experiment for a long time and now became a feature, intended to lead low-engagement users to stay around a bit longer and visit more pages.

• Universe Pages have been released – These are not part of wikis (other than simply linking to them) but do include some of the topics as an entry point hub for discovering an universe, which is optimized to rank highly in search results (see more info).

Editing changes:

Due to an increased amount of vandalism and suspicious activity around the platform, some changes to editing were made recently, with the goal to reduce some of these issues, and make moderation more manageable to admins and moderators. To elaborate a bit more on these:

• Email confirmation will be required to use your account on any wikis where anonymous editing is disabled. Any user can emailconfirm their account via Special:Preferences (User profile > Email options). Those whose account hasn't been confirmed will see a notice about needing to confirm their email. If you have trouble confirming your email address, please contact Fandom Staff via the help desk.

• Other changes include anon-editing being auto-disabled on any wikis where admins/content mods have not edited for at least 7 days, and also being disabled by default on brand new wikis, until the wiki passes a platform safety review.

Feel free to visit the original blog post for more of an explanation. While it's impossible for ALL instances of vandalism to go away – this being the internet we're talking about here – we hope that at least having a bit of a barrier to creating new accounts helps put a dampener on bad edits, so that it eases the effort of moderating to some extent.

I believe that's all for now, but if you'd some extra details or more updates, you can also check the technical update staff posts for November 1 and November 15, 2024.

Is there a reason why Avallac'h’s page is surprisingly empty under the “book canon” section , it mentions Lara Dorren and the fact that he brought Ciri to Auberon and that’s pretty much it

Even Lara Dorren and Cregennan of Lod have more details on their pages, im kinda surprised because this wikia has pages for even obscure book characters that don't appear in the games

for a character that actually appeared in the 3rd game and played a pretty big role in it you would think people would want to know about the backstory of his character in the books since Wild Hunt is about wrapping up that storyline

I have returned to the Witcher Fandom 😎

I have played The Witcher 3 on PS4 twice it's awesome to me 😎

I'll be coming back to it soon ❤️

Hello, I found a new side quest in Witcher 3, it is in Skellige, I found a new location by taking a piece of paper on the notice board of Arinbjorn. It said someone went missing that has not returned. Then a new marker appeared on the map just above the lake west of Dorve Ruins. The quest is called SHORTCUT. I did not find in in the list. Happy hunting!

Hey, I'm new to the Witcher series, I just started watching the show on Netflix and I love it! I wanted to start reading the books, and have found some conflicting sources on what I should start with. Just wanted to get the opinion of some original fans, so I thought I would look here. Thanks!

I have been meaning to get the Witcher III for the Switch so I wanted to ask those of you who have it: How good is it in terms of performance, content and gameplay? Does it hold up against the console version? I appreciate any relevant answers!

Hello there, I’m about to be playing the complete edition of The Witcher: Wild Hunt. This is long game to do many quest, I was hoping to know if any of you can help me out what I have to do first for the main and secondary quests and what opinions that I have to do to play the game. If anything please let me know.

Man, that DLC is brutal! For my 3rd playthrough, in hard (after 2 in normal), I keep running into what seems impossible ennemies !

After the caretaker, I had to defeat Iris, and now, the room full of Olgiert wraiths / Ethereal beings! I remember having a hard time in normal already, but now?

I have indeed.

I have re-read them three times and they are beautifully well done

What would children from witchers look like?

After playing through Thronebreaker I started a new Witcher 3 playthrough

With the intent of playing as anti-nilfgaard/partisan. Sadly however its impossible to permakill nilfgaardian soldiers in the game. So I wanted to ask if there are any commands you can use to disable their respawn/enable their permadeath.

If Cavill is a true fan and wants to tell the Witcher story in canon, he should just get with A.S. & investors and tell the story the way they envision. Even if it’s just the short stories. Or even make a movie for Season of Storm or a 1 season streaming of SoS. The budget doesn’t have to be big. Look at how good the fan fiction effort was with Alzur’s Legacy. They did that film on a budget of less than $10,000 usd and it’s pretty damn good and directly in line with Witcher canon. (It’s in Polish with English subtitles). Plus the actress that plays Triss is a babe!

I recently started reading the Witcher novels (just finished Sword of Destiny), but at the same time I have just bought Witcher 3.

I have heard that one should read all the books before playing, but it would take months to do so, and I really want to play the game as well. Speedreading the books tho would ruin the experience for me.

So the question is: Should I start playing now, and keep reading the books at the same time?

I want to enjoy both to the fullest, thus I want to know how much the game reaches back to the books.

Thanks :)
