Yeah, I kinda like that pose for Haka better - it's a little more dynamic than the EE - and it's cool to have the pyramid behind Ra.
There's something ineffably charming about that old art. :D
FWIW, I've attached here some pics of the rest of the First Edition artwork that seemed different, just for informal kicks.
And then one last one since apparently there's an attachment limit per post. :P
Oh yeah, I'd heard the environment cards used to be... weird. c.c I'm glad they went with text boxes for those, too.
I dearly love those old card backs though, oh my gosh.
Tempest sparkling otherworldly resilience go! :D And the old version of Coolant Blast really tells you a lot more about what's going on with it.
Wow. :B
Okay, Number A, is that Revenant or the Celestial Tribunal on Impale? I'm leaning toward the Tribunal, which is a pretty early appearance.
And Letter 2, who is The Wraith's exclamation-point-guy?
Also, I notice that Zealous Offense was much more powerful. It's not limited to targets.
You're right, that totally looks like a Celestial Executioner! :O
My latest overhaul has been the Heroes, Villains, and Environment indexes:
https://sentinelswiki.com/index.php?title=Heroes
https://sentinelswiki.com/index.php?title=Villains
https://sentinelswiki.com/index.php?title=Environments
I feel like I still have to revisit these, since... I did achieve making the portraits more consistent (basically borrowed from the video game), cleaning up the underlying code (we used to have tables inside of tables!), and making it more compact horizontally... but at the cost of making it longer and less quickly scannable vertically. Probably need to just split the names off into their own column again either literally via table code or visually using CSS. But I'm also a bit tired of looking at the pages for the time being (while the output code is simpler, the wikicode for these needed a bit more insane conglomerate of #if blocks, especially the Villains one) and it hopefully looks OK-ish for now, so...
Also updated the Environments with the actual official difficulties and plan on working through the Letters Page episodes to add in the minor characters to the Heroes and Villains sections that are currently missing.
Aw, that looks real good though! :D
Well, the Definitive Edition sure is going to be a headache for you wiki’ers. I do not envy you. Good luck, though!

I can’t seem to find the different comic covers easily through the wiki. How would I go about doing that?
I actually suggest just going to the Letters Page and going back through all the pages to find them. I did that once recently, and they only started so long ago. It’s pretty quick to skim the site looking for images since they’re 99% comic covers. 
Two places.
One, the main category which I reformatted into an actual nice gallery: Category:Comic Covers - Sentinel Comics Wiki
Two, I recently added a tab with just the Writers’ Room covers specifically to the Podcasts page itself: Podcasts - Sentinel Comics Wiki
I think at some point I want to make it so when you hover over the listings on the Podcasts index you get some relevant context for that episode that shows in a pop-up including things like the covers, but this at least adds the covers somehow which I probably should have done way before now.

Well there is a page with all of them gathered on the same page, but I have trouble finding it easily.
Yeah, the wiki’s structure in general needs a serious overhaul. Me, Lynkfox, and WalkingTarget have been discussing it off and on.
Edit: Oh right, I forgot Lynkfox was silly and thought it was a good idea to give me admin powers, so I flexed and edited the sidebar to add/remove a few things. Mostly adding Adam’s various art things like the Covers and Inktober galleries.

This is the page I was talking about: Category:Comic Covers - Sentinel Comics Wiki
If you search the wiki for Comic Covers it does not show up, and I don’t know how I even accessed it in the first place.
It’s because I repurposed a category page rather than making a page proper. Only things in the “Main” namespace show up in the wiki search, things like the Category namespace do not.
One of the (many) reasons the wiki structure could use an overhaul is to find better homes for these sorts of things. It’s one of the things I added to the Sidebar for now, though.

So, it looks like there are maybe some people still working on the Sentinels Wiki. One thing the wiki had that I always thought was useful and cool was a card list.
Well, I’ve been making a card list for my own use in Play-by-Post games, and I was wondering if anyone was interested in getting a link to it if they were planning on adding the DE cards to the Wiki in some way.
I did not include Character cards or the Villain set-up card. I also did not include any flavor text, or issue numbers. But, I figured if anyone was going to tackle that sort of update project, this could be a massive time-saver to just copy what I already was doing for a separate purpose.
I thought about posting it here directly, but I wasn’t sure if that would upset people, so just hit me up in DMs or PMs or whatever we call them on this site, and I can forward you the Link.
Thank you for all you guys do keeping this thing going, and I hope you are all doing well.

I have a copy of WalkingTarget’s own database for his card lookup bot, but because the update to the wiki software broke our existing templates they have to be rewritten before we can actually properly add anything to them, and I’ve been dealing with a bunch of health issues making it difficult to work on such things at more than a snail’s pace.
I’m going to try to kludge something together for DE as a stopgap. In the mean time, WT’s said he’s put his bot on the RoD Discord server (it’s also already on the LP server).
I really wish we had followed my suggested procedure of updating a test wiki setup and only migrating the updates over once we had everything up and running properly, but instead Lynkfox updated the live wiki, so here we are.

Hey, I’m not complaining. You guys do amazing work, I just wasn’t sure who was active or if there was a plan.
If you have health issues, focus on those. Way more important than this. I was just offering a “hey, I’ve written all this stuff, is this something that will save you guys time and effort”
If it would be helpful to you guys, I could try and do something. But I also work at a snail’s pace, have a dozen other projects, and just pushed myself to get this excel sheet library finished. But the offer of giving you guys what I got, so that when you get to the stage of typing them all you just have to copy and paste what I wrote, maybe a few edits for formatting purposes, is still on the table.
