Introduction
Hey, I didn't forget about the monthly! But I was in vacation for most of June, and the little time I spent editing Liquipedia was mostly for the Fighters alpha wiki. Anyway, here goes...

Thanks to everybody who took some time to edit our HSC XIII pages during the event: CynicalDeath, Clubfan, SNSeigifried, PtyBisKuit, Kolegg, ImData, Warbattle, Corvuuss, FO-nTTaX, BLaDESC2, Yhamm, ElusoryX, Leddy, Colouss, Inflicted, Zyntaxable, and SetGuitarsToKill, as well as Azhrak filling the Ro32 groups before the event.
News
The transfer news page has changed
Thanks to FO-nTTaX, the syntax is using templates instead of tables, which should make the editing easier. With that, the style has changed, using the style of our new skin.
What needs work
I did not have time to work on any big project in June, so this section is the same as last month :x
+ Show Spoiler [from last month] +
Recent Tournament Results
I stopped taking care of it months ago :x
I am working on it with a tool to make the task easier (really feels like a chore to do it manually).
About automating it, we could use SMW, but I feel like it would be hard to set up and resource-intensive for not much. If somebody is up to the challenge, I’m okay with it of course.
Player achievements/results
Clubfan has done some great work with Semantic MediaWiki on other wikis for the achievements and result tables. We can port it on Liquipedia SC2, but behind that, there is a HUGE work of putting tournament pages to the standard. The tournament pages need to use of the newest prize pool templates. This is an effort that I had started months ago now, but we never completed the task. We have the possibility of adding the “lastvs” parameters that would provide everything needed to automatize achievement/result tables on player and team pages). If we do automatize, though, the problem is that some players have achievements for tournaments that don’t have a Liquipedia page. But it should be okay to have automatized achievement tables for the best players at least.
Game stuff
Campaign Need work, especially for Legacy of the Void. For missions, campaign units, and characters.
Units Some of the articles are very old, with sentences like, “Now, since WoL beta patch 9, tanks do…” We had to adapt a lot of statistics like duration, cooldown, … because of the LotV clock change. Most of the work needed has been done, but not all.
