The Decipher namespace is intended to be a rehosting location for all relevant files from the old Decipher websites, including the following domains:
- decipher.com
- decipher.fanhq.com
- decipherstore.fanhq.com
- dgma.com
- fanhq.com
- lotrtcg.decipher.com
- lotrtcg.fanhq.com
- shop.decipher.com
Each of these domains was used at various times by Decipher, and an incomplete version of these pages is stored on the Wayback Machine. That data has also been scraped and made available at the PC Fileshare here: https://files.lotrtcgpc.net/decipher_wayback/
Not all of the information so retrieved is useful to preserve (such as most of the storefront information and the majority of the remaining forum topics), but there are a slew of strategy articles, announcements, interviews, and other insights into the game which are all but impossible to search for, and once found obnoxious to link.
Thus, this namespace exists to have wiki-formatted versions of all historically-relevant articles to solve each of these problems at once. When importing articles, make sure to alter them as little as possible to get them into a readable format--it's acceptable to alter formatting, links, and card references to use Wiki syntax and conventions, but the content should be kept as unchanged as possible. Ideally one could link to these articles and trust that it's effectively the same as linking to the same article on the Wayback Machine.
When importing an article, use the following guidelines when determining the name:
- Place the article as a subpage of one of the official domains above
- Keep the original hosting path if it's human-readable (so mimic "/lordoftherings/articles/2001" but not "/AEF12/BE/2001/")
- Host the article as the article's title, if possible (so "/lordoftherings/articles/2001/The Lord of the Rings Foils" rather than "/lordoftherings/articles/2001/foilprogram.html"
Feel free to replace card images with references to the wiki card images (and names of cards to card links), but most non-card images will probably have to just be imported into the wiki.
