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.

So I noticed that on the community page there is an “expand these articles” and under it was hover fish (Subnautica) But all it says is “hi, it’s me hoverfish.” Can someone please delete it? Another one there is, is a confirm email for some random user whose name is in another language, not to mention that page is 100% blank. Please get rid of these extra articles that quite literally no one needs. (Only admins can delete pages)

In the ghost update it says added emperor leviathans when the update prior added them and it never says when ghost leviathans where added

The wiki has two categories that I personally think should be combined: "Alien Technology" and "Architect Technology". The difference is that "Alien Technology" applies to all the Architect objects/entities in the first game, whereas "Architect Technology" applies to the second game. However, given that the aliens in the first and second game are the same, it feels silly to have two separate categories. For instance, the Alien Robot from Subnautica is labelled under "Alien Technology" whereas the one from Below Zero is under "Architect Technology", despite the fact that they are the same thing. If I were to pick I would call the combined category Architect Technology, because the only reason the category was called "Alien Technology" in the first game was that at that point the Architects' name had not been confirmed.

The article for the Brinewing has it classified as aggressive, which is something I don't entirely agree with. In my experience they only freeze you if you stay near them for a significant duration, and they always prioritize smaller fish. In addition, their projectiles don't actually deal any damage, meaning the only danger they present is the potential to prevent you from reaching the surface to regenerate lost oxygen. The Lily Paddler has similarly harmless but potentially debilitating behaviour and is categorized as Defensive. I would love to hear your opinion however!

It says that the ghost leviathan in the void is 1.15x bigger than the one in the crater (I'm talking about adults of course)

I did the math and the void ones are 108.2305 M

And the ones within the crater are 107

Just thought that the page should be updated, that's all

Well at least the part for jumping from one part to another, i am not sure if it is also broke on pc but it is on mobile, it just snaps you to the top. i have not contributed to the wiki for subnautica but have for other games like grtg and ark. i regularly dig through the files for most of the games i own. i also am a novice glitch hunter and taser in paper mario sticker star.

Yea, I forgot to post it again...

First time editing on this wiki, and I finally figured out how to get the Seatruck Dock recipe and database entry to appear correctly. But I don't know how to change the small icon at the end of the recipe to the picture from the builder tool. I screen grabbed, cropped and made a small picture from the builder tool UI and uploaded it, but I don't know how to get it to appear in the recipe. Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone know if Supply Crates' contents are set or random? The wiki page says that they are random, but I'm not so sure. In my experience they are set, because I didn't find any power cell on my exploration of the Aurora.

Just wondering if i can make a suggestion regarding audio:

Can we add the audio for everything

(i mean the sound not dialogue)

For example:the sound of pressure damage for the seamoth

I would like to petition for this

The subnautica Bz ost page leaves out info on 51 52 and 53 also the Spy penguin Theme now can be heard ingame as of full raleace

Instead it goes to a game disambig page which means an extra click every time just to get to where you want to go. For example, if I'm reading Ruby (Subnautica) and I want to look at other Raw Materials, I click the link on the page but it goes to the Raw Materials disambig page when really it should link to Raw Materials (Subnautica).

I've read around the internet that Gas Torpedoes and Gas Pods have equally and disappointing damage. Since I desperately wanted to gas some fish, I checked the damage.

First of all the Gas Pods and Torpedoes should have the same damage but the clouds are different. While the Gas Pod Cloud stays active for around 8 seconds, the gas torpedoes cloud is active for around 13 seconds.

Furthermore the damage was supposedly 9 per second, the same as the gas pods, but 1 torpedo cloud kill a sand shark, which has, according to this wiki, 250 HP. So after further testing I have determined the total damage of a gas cloud to be between 500 and 555. Meaning the DPS would be between 38 and 43 per cloud. Knowing this, 10 torpedoes are enough to kill a reaper leviathan.

So, what I have found to be possible, is to bait a reaper into attacking you inside the prawn, exit before he grabs the prawn, shoot it once with stasis rifle, then hit it with a charged shot, to give you 30 sec of time. While constantly firing one prawn torpedo arm can fire 2 torpedoes per 5 seconds, meaning you can empty your entire payload of 6 torpedoes in 15 seconds. Meaning you can slap a reaper with 12 torpedoes (2 more than you would actually need) within 15 seconds given 2 torpedo arms. This means the gas needs a total of 28 seconds (calculated for 10 torpedoes) to kill the reaper, so you have 2 seconds to get into the prawn and start firing.

One final note, apparently the reefback is immune to the gas cloud. It should have died after at most 20 torpedoes, but this thing ate 36 and kept swimming.

Is this page dead?

I as attempting to download the files for the cyclops voice lines,but for some reason i could not

(when i pressed download it sent me to the top of the page with out doing anything)

Is it a bug or is it just me?
