Question about monetizing worldbuilding... (Patreon)

Hello everyone!

I have an important question to ask all of you. I have been working on the writing for a Synth wiki, including worldbuilding and background lore for the species. So far a lot of work has been put into it, to the point where I wonder, if I should maybe count the entirety of my work on the wiki as one paid patreon submission.

The idea is to do 2 illustrations for the month of August (instead of the usual 3) and to submit the Synth wiki as its own, paid post.

The Synth wiki will be a wiki running under our own domain and hosted on our own server. There will also be a hub website, as a sort of landing page for anyone interested in the Synth specis. The wiki will be expanded over time after release, so development of it won't stop with the release itself.

Would you be alright, if I counted the work on the wiki as one paid patreon submission?

Some artists that I follow paste text updates and short stories in addition to their art. I think the key is that it represents some level of congruent effort to the artwork. It would be nice if you could figure out a way to post it here too, or at least link to it. Just saying "I worked on the wiki" without posting the updates here or showing us what actually changed kind of feels like it's an out to post less without calling it that. Not trying to be mean, just honest. Like, "Today I added a page on X to the wiki, here's a link." would be reasonable in my opinion! Or a monthly summary of new wiki content?

The current plan is actually to release it fully during August, meaning that the website and wiki will go live and a link will be posted here as well. After that I will continue to work on it on the side, but won't monetize any further work on it.

My thoughts are that the higher tiers exist mostly for high-rez/PSD rewards, and bill per-creation. The wiki doesn't generate these artifacts -- it's the same site for everyone. Is there a way to have it trigger billing at the low-rez level just for the one creation to make it even for everyone?

On a personal level, I'm fine with either, since I'm interested in more than just visual arts, but if this is an option, I think it'll allay concerns in general about fairness and intent of support tiers.
