Wiki Updates: June 2021
Hello, Mysterious Benedict Society Wiki! It is June 2021 and it's been awhile since there's been any updates.
Pvirgiliusmaro seems to have disappeared, as the former admins did many years ago. We now have a new admin, Rue.taidem54! They've added lots of content and set up citation and reference templates, among others.
There's also a Mysterious Benedict Society TV series now! Fearless Diva is here from fandom.com to work on the wiki and add content for the TV series. We're currently planning to keep the main content book-based and mark TV content as such – for more on that, see this blog post and discussions here and here.
I've created a discord server for MBS here. The discussion forum isn't going anywhere; it's just an extra place to …
Changes in the TV Series
Comment below anything you notice which is objectively different in the TV show from the books. This data will be used to supplement articles. Mark the point VsBook, NoBook, or Omitted, as appropriate.
General
- The phrase "No one's at the wheel" is a motif on signs in the first episodes. [NoBook]
- Kate wears her hair short, as opposed to long and in a ponytail. [VsBook]
- Mr. Benedict looks different (e.g. doesn't have a nose resembling a lumpy vegetable), and doesn't wear green plaid. [VsBook]
Episode 1
- Mr. Benedict's house is on its own large grounds, as opposed to being on a city block. [VsBook]
- The Receiver room is hidden behind a bookshelf door. Awesome, but different. [VsBook]
- There were four Recruiters, not two, and they were trying to capture Mr…
I'm still here, and other updates
Hi all,
I just wanted to check in. My semester started a couple of weeks ago, and so I'll have less time to devote to the wiki. I do receive email notifications about edits, discussion posts, messages, etc. I'm staying on top of those emails, so if something big happens and needs a speedy admin response, I'll know about it.
For now I'll likely be spending my time here on smaller edits. I might start using the talk pages to draft rewrites of the most important pages (books, main characters).
If you want to help, check out the discussion tab! There's a Construction Project category. Feel free to post ideas for improving the wiki there. Also don't be shy about fixing grammar, broken links, and inaccuracies when you see them.
Best wishes,
Jocelyn (…
Hello!
Fellow Society Members,
My adoption request was approved! There's a lot I'd like to do to improve the wiki. Today, besides exploring the admin editing tools, I've been cleaning up categories, merging duplicate pages, and deleting spam pages.
I'm going to keep a running to-do list in hopes of staying at least a little organized. Please feel free to add to the list or to work on any of the tasks. My top priority is navigability, so I'll be starting on the top bar menu very soon. I'm also thinking of creating a Mysterious Benedict Society Style Guide for consistency across the wiki. I might also look into the site's accessibility for people with disabilities.
I appreciate any feedback y'all have on how to improve the wiki. I'll keep you updated. …
Adoption?
This wiki seems to really be a mess. Are there currently any administrators or active users? If so, is it OK if I go about becoming an admin? I can spell decently, and really love this book series. Thanks!
Hello.
Morning! I'm me (in case you haven't already noticed that), and I am here. I really don't plant to be a huge contributor to this website, but I was looking up some information on the Whisperer (for a story I'm writing) and realized that there were shikingly few peices of information in certain areas. This needed to be remedied at once! So I donned my Sword of Learning and my faithful dictionary-shield and charged into the great melee of writing for the Mysterious Benedict swociety Wiki.
So you see, I really plan to be doing very little on this site, mainly because I just can't fathom how everyone manages to get the formatting on this site. It maddens me, the formatting does! Alas and alack! Woe betide thee, ye who dare to prowl the hidden t…
Mysterious Fanfiction
On fanfiction.net, there's a fandom for The Mysterious Benedict Society. I publish on there, so if you have time click here and read my works under Kahlan the Dream Spirit. Lots of the stuff is bad, but if you go to the community I've archived all of the really good stuff. Check it out. Make a profile. Enter my challenge. Add to the fandom for Mysterious Benedict Society!
(P.S. Don't write Kaynie [Kate/Reynie]. We have too much of it)
