Database writer in Revelations?[]

So since everyone on the outside, including Shaun, doesn't know Desmond was actually going through Ezio's memories, who wrote the database articles in Revelations? Sixteen? I haven't had enough time to read all the entires, but there seemed to be a certain kind of Shaun-esque snark to the entries I read, which, if true, is a major continuity error on Ubisoft's part. Any thoughts? Thewootinater 17:20, November 20, 2011 (UTC)


Sixteen most likely wrote the Animus Database Articles in Revelations, if you read the last paragraph of Ezio's entry, it states, when talking about Eagle Sense, "I got a little taste myself, in the short time I spent with him, but since my time with him went dark much sooner than yours did, I never got the full experience."

About the Menu for animus 3.0[]

I really cant find a proper image. I had no choice but to put a menu image. Please help. Deniedoperative (talk) 08:41, December 19, 2012 (UTC)

It made for a nice filler. If Fraps will peacefully coexist with my copy of AC3 I may be able to get one myself. Lucan07Haunt me...and Stuff 08:43, December 19, 2012 (UTC)

Unfortunately, vesper edited it out. Deniedoperative (talk) 08:45, December 19, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I was cleaning up most of the information on the page. The best person to ask regarding images is Vatsa, he should be able to tell whether it'd be reasonable to keep or remove it. Slate Vesper (talk) 08:49, December 19, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up Vesper. Deniedoperative (talk) 09:01, December 19, 2012 (UTC)

Mmkay, sorted. Lucan07Haunt me...and Stuff 09:28, December 19, 2012 (UTC)

The Lost Archive Database?[]

The Lost Archive has its own database, consisting of decipher fragments, letters and voice logs. Should it be mentioned in this article?Sadelyrate (talk) 00:02, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

It definitely should, but under the revelations animus subheading 2.03. References to abstergo and third party sources should be included. Deniedoperative (talk) 09:55, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

TLA's database entries[]

The red links for The Lost Archive are pestering me. What would be an appropriate way of making the Database entries for the Decipher fragments, Letters and Voice log? The fragments' database 'entry' is merely an image. Sadelyrate (siniath) 05:33, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

Feasible?[]

Is it feasible to continue the structure this article has held up until now? Black Flag, Freedom Cry and now Rogue all use the Animus Omega version - how will we differentiate between these if not by game?

Also, Liberation's database is missing here - even if it's only "real" database entries are on the people. Crook The Constantine District 16:16, December 9, 2014 (UTC)

Last I checked, we did the database entries by game. Who changed them? Stormbeast The Helpful Place 17:01, December 9, 2014 (UTC)
Preferably, the article should be IU.--Bovkaffe (talk) 17:27, December 9, 2014 (UTC)

Linking[]

I don't know if this has already been noticed, but since the restructuring of the database entries on the wiki, a lot of the links are messed up. I'm not quite sure how to fix it myself, so I thought I should mention it here.--Bovkaffe (talk) 13:05, March 29, 2015 (UTC)

Going through this, I'd say those pages do not exist. A few subpages might, but there is no index that can replace the dead links in this article. Also, inconsistency titles. --70px-SigN1v.png (30px-SigT1v.png35px-SigG1v.png) 13:46, March 29, 2015 (UTC)
Is there any way for us to fix that? :s Crook The Constantine District 13:55, March 29, 2015 (UTC)
I can get my bot to rename and update the links for existing articles. Can't help much with what could be missing, since I haven't been around AC Series for a while. We can always count on our living encyclopedia for that.. --70px-SigN1v.png (30px-SigT1v.png35px-SigG1v.png) 15:19, March 29, 2015 (UTC)

Identity "codex"[]

Should the "codex" entries featured Assassin's Creed: Identity be added to the wiki as Database entries? If not, how should they be categorized? — Zero-ELEC (talk) 02:44, May 26, 2016 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with Identity, but I'm guessing these Codex entries are essentially a Database, but just under a different name? Amnestyyy (Contact me!) 09:45, May 26, 2016 (UTC)
Exactly that. — Zero-ELEC (talk) 14:31, May 26, 2016 (UTC)
In that case, we'll just put them up here. That seems a better option than to create a separate page for it, which would then easily be confused with the various codex articles we already have. Amnestyyy (Contact me!) 15:00, May 26, 2016 (UTC)
Okay! Started working on the database here. — Zero-ELEC (talk) 16:15, May 26, 2016 (UTC)

This is odd, the Monteriggioni entry seems to be exactly the same as the one from II. How should this be handled? Should I make a new page for the Identity version or just link the older one and add the necessary categories to that one? — Zero-ELEC (talk) 20:14, May 26, 2016 (UTC)

I think you can make a new page, like: Database: Ezio Auditore (Assassin's Creed II) and Database: Ezio Auditore da Firenze (Revelations).--UJ112013 (talk) 04:37, April 4, 2017 (UTC)

Please fix the links[]

At the Animus 2.01 sections:

Some OOUness[]

I think mentions of the Lost Archive need to be reworked since that’s an OOU term and I think mentions to "my files" in the Animus Omega sections should be removed because they aren’t part of the database but are just the analysts private collection. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 21:28, April 22, 2020 (UTC)

I agree with you on the part of the Lost Archive, it could be worded better but I will disagree with you on the second point. The files are part of what can be considered another database, serving the function of the "Assassin Intel" tab from Unity and the "Modern Day" tab from Syndicate. -  Soranin (talk) 21:55, April 22, 2020 (UTC)
Glad we agree on the Lost Archive issue (not sure how to reword it though) but I will further double down on the second point by saying they are accessed outside of the animus and function more like Layla’s files from Origins and Odyssey or the emails from earlier games. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 00:05, April 23, 2020 (UTC)
Gonna say I also have no clue how to reword it either. I am gonna disagree with the comparison to the email networks, though. Both the databases and the "my files" are a collection of multimedia files made for the purpose of aggregating the files, an email network is not. Though we could make an article like "Computer Files" or such and include all these things and leave a little message near the top saying "This is about the in-Animus database, for other files see Computer Files" in this article. If you're willing to help, I'm down for it. - Soranin (talk) 02:17, April 23, 2020 (UTC)
A disambiguation header might be the way to go but I’m not sure what our exact policy on that is. I say we wait a bit and I’ll see if I can get some of the other editors to weigh in. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 02:36, April 23, 2020 (UTC)
Good point, I'm also not sure on that. And more people thinking is always a good idea. :)

HELP Needed[]

Hello everyone. I need some help in order to finish tidying up the databases for AC:Brotherhood. I'm currently missing two entries for locations, so if you have a save for Brotherhood, I'd appreciate if you could check your entries against the following list to see if we can find the missing entries. If you have one that's not on the list, please comment it.

  • Florence -- (Filter=All)
    • Casa di Vespucci
    • Loggia dei Lanzi
    • Palazzo della Signoria
    • Santa Maria del Fiore
    • Santa Trinita
    • Palazzo Auditore

Thank you so much for the help!

Yours in Brotherhood, Soranin (talk) 16:22, April 23, 2020 (UTC)

Managed to find them! :) - Soranin (talk) 17:46, April 23, 2020 (UTC)

Add to game NavBox[]

I think we should add Database links in the NavBox for the games that have them and possibly even create an "Animus" section in those NavBoxes for terms that specifically pertain to the Animus clearing out the "Terms and Gameplay" a little bit. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 04:28, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Entry order[]

It looks like many if not most or all of the sections order their entries alphabetically but I think we should copy the order that is reflected in game. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 08:20, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

I disagree, I really don't think we should. Again, this is not a simulacra of the database pages, it is meant above all to be a reference page, which requires consistent ordering, which the games do not give us. - Soranin (talk) 12:34, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
I disagree with your disagreement because the games do in fact have a method to their ordering such as in Valhalla's people section grouping the humans together, then the isu, and then the groups. And theoretically this gives a standard across various localizations. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 04:30, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
I disagree with your disagreement on my disagreement :P
The games are consistent internally, but not across games. Another result of having a billion teams working on the same project. - Soranin (talk) 15:19, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

BoV entries[]

BoV doesn't have a traditional database but spread throughout the campaign books are little sidebars that give more historical context to some of the elements that appear in game. Should we include these? The animus model would have to be inferred as the HR8.5. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 01:39, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Flavour text from Brotherhood of Venice would be helpful to transcribe for preservation, but if they're not confirmed as being part of a "database", we don't have to classify them as such, right? Sol Pacificus(Cyfiero) 06:43, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
We can always ask. The other option would be to have it as a user subpage which can be hard to navigate to especially for non editing members. Database just seemed like a better option. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 08:19, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
Let's ask first. If you can provide a few images of these flavour texts and how they appear for me, that could be helpful too. Sol Pacificus(Cyfiero) 16:32, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
This reminds me that there are some Background Informations in the comics, too. Like the Assassins and the Templars. And we probably don't know what types of Animus they used. (Should we talk about this by creating a new topic?) UJ112013 (talk) 16:00, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
Oh yes, I always meant to integrate the background information given in the comics as well. If I'm not wrong, we're both thinking about appendixes. I don't know if we would need to transcribe them and also don't think they should be interpreted as information found within an Animus. Sol Pacificus(Cyfiero) 16:32, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Rebellion and Memories[]

We have Rebellion included on here but we don't have a table for them which I think should be remedied. And since we are including those should we try to work the bios from the cards in Memories into this as well? I'm hoping to find some recordings on YT to see if I can get a better understanding of the MD framing. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 10:56, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

The Rebellion bios not being in this page is fine, I feel, since the page for Rebellion (the in-universe title) is mostly the table. Likewise, I dont feel like the ACM carda need adding here, though new info may change my mind. - Soranin (talk) 15:03, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
