Main update, released 12/12/2020.
Read the news entry: Launch of HSMusic.wiki!
site changes — links: this page, its page site changes
- redesigned the homepage from the ground up to be a better landing page for the wiki!
- three groupings for the wiki index: New Releases, Fandom, Official, showing just a few so it's easy to navigate, with new buttons to view a complete grid listing
- moved the "Explore the site!" links over to the newly wiki-wide header, placing albums front and center while leaving navigation links readily accessible
- added a sidebar to the homepage, listing recent news entries parallel with albums
- improved navigation all around the site, making the wiki as a whole more consistent
- added lazy loading for images, so landing pages shouldn't take up nearly as much data, and will load quicker (especially noticeable for the Flashes & Games index!)
- adjusted the styling for grouped listings (previously used only for Unreleased Tracks) as they become more common (see data changes section)
- made links which require JavaScript only show up if JS is actually enabled
tags — links: this page, its page tags
- new feature! tags are used for two things: categorizing track art by character, and displaying content warnings.
- added a tag list beneath most track and album arts describing characters in the image and linking to their gallery pages
- added tag gallery pages under the Listings section, showing a grid of all the track and album covers which are tagged with that character
- added content warnings for common triggers (alcohol, body horror, etc), blurring out the image and showing warning tags until it is clicked and revealed
listings — links: this page, its page listings
- some extra wiki-wide stats are displayed on the Listings index!
- divided the Artists - by Contributions and Artists - by Latest Contribution listings into two columns for easier exploring: "Track Contributors" and "Track & Flash Contributors"
- added two new listings, for the new tags feature:
track pages — links: this page, its page track pages
- made the index of the current track show next to the track name in the navbar
- made the start and end indexes of each group show next to group names in the sidebar
- divided the sidebar into groups for a bunch of albums (see data changes section)
bug fixes — links: this page, its page bug fixes
- fixed a bug where chronology links (e.g "413th track by Toby Fox") for track artists weren't being displayed anymore
- fixed a bug where artists with zero contributions (e.g. only commentary) would display as "( c.)" instead of "(0 c.)" in artist listings
- fixed a bug where flash names would always have the dot at the end of the name removed, instead of only when punctuation follows
- fixed some bugs with release date code where the Artists - by Latest listing would not count unique dates of cover art contributions (e.g. in anthology projects where fanart is added after the release of the album), and where the cover art release date displayed on album pages was ambiguous (previously it displayed the date of track art for the whole album; now it displays - or, if it is the same as album release, does not display - the date of cover art for the album itself)
- fixed a bug on artist pages where tracks that are featured in more than one flash would display flashes past the first feature as "1", "2", "3", etc, instead of the actual flash names
- fixed a bug on artist pages where co-artists of tracks (but not track art) weren't being displayed anymore
- fixed a bug where the random official album link in the Random Pages listing would instead open a random track across the whole site
- made all the links on the Random Pages listing behave more like regular links (ctrl-click works for example)
