Attention! If anyone can tell me how to get .gif animations of unique Diablo I monsters with the proper colors, please send me a PM immediately. I’d greatly appreciate it.
What’s New?
As you all well know, the male 
Demon Hunter has been revealed, and as you all probably know we have updates the wiki to reflect this. Now that that’s taken care of, on with the rest of news.
What you may not know is that we have some new articles on the various people behind Diablo. Apoc took the time to add some information about Jason Bender (Senior Designer), Christian Lichtner (Art Director), Micah Whipple (Bashiok), Robert B. Marks (author of Demonsbane) and Mel Odom (author of The Black Road). This is just be beginning, as eventually we’ll continue to expand our wiki with more and more people who’ve helped build Diablo.
The unique monster section for Diablo I has now been completed, and only lacks images for most of them. This leaves this section of the wiki largely complete, with skills being the only section yet to have any articles written on them. This is largely due to the rather complex nature of D1 skills, which involve many different variables to calculate damage. This makes it difficult to create comprehensive tables for the skills (compared to skill in Diablo II like Battle Orders“/>Battle Orders).
Kickin_It has continued to overhaul our category sections. Not much more to say about that: you can see where it’s going by looking at Category:Browse however.
The Diablo II section of the wiki has seen some attention these past two weeks as well however. Zhuge has hoverhauled the Horadric Cube Recipes“/>Horadric Cube Recipes, adding images and and putting all information into tables to better structure the page.
The guide section has also seen a new entrant as well. lMarcusl has added a Tiger Claw Sin to the wiki. This one, like his previous Elementalist Druid, is meant to be able to beat Hell singleplayer. As such it doesn’t feature any high-end gear recommendations that you usually see in a guide. It should however allow you to beat Hell without such gear in any case however, so if you’re considering doing that challenge with an Assassin, then perhaps this is the guide for you.
Finally, there’s now a To-Do List“/>To-Do List in the wiki. This page will be continually updated with various tasks that need to be done in the wiki. If you want to chip in but don’t know where, this is definitely the page you should check out.
(I should also note that I’ve unfortunately destroyed last weeks article spotlight: Dreamflange. If you want to see it in all it’s glory, look here.)
Article Spotlight
This week it’s a little bit of lore, though probably not much for the alraedy savvy. Kabraxis is an apparently prominent demon who has to date only been present in The Black Road. After the Prime Evils he’s probably the demon to have wreaked the most havoc in modern times in Sanctuary, so much as to draw the ire of the Three upon himself even. Though it is unknown whether everything told in the book is canon or not, Kabraxis is still an interesting demon in the Diablo Universe worth knowing about.
How Can You Help?
Aside from the previously mentioned To-Do List, there are many sections in the wiki that need improving. Most glaring is perhaps the lore section of our wiki, which oftentimes simply lacks content yet more often citations, images or clear paragraph structure. If you know your lore and see an article missing something, don’t hesitate to add your knowledge to the wiki.
