Greetings fellow pilots/wiki masters! I have returned with a better foot hold to being online now. I am on a laptop with a tether connection so I can hop on when ever needed, and when I am available. This announcement of my return is the first part of the reason for this post.
The second reason is I would like to make a few proposals for bettering the wiki. I've spent the past week reviewing a few articles and changes to the game and wiki and noticed that there were some parts to the wiki that needed updating and an easier way to explain certain topics to a fresh and/or returning pilot. So I propose that we:
1. Review and list topics and articles that could be made better and could use an easier method to help explain the desired topic. We could be split into individual teams to scan groups of articles and list what needs to be done to the articles. With the list we could then decide what to do in updating and bettering these articles. A method I would like to propose in bettering a few is one that Delloda (the former English Support Manager) has had me do in the past, video tutorials showing how certain parts of the game work and are played. This of course will have to have Staff approval as to what videos are made and what ones are restricted. I.E. certain missions to avoid spoilers and other info. So one project, which I would like to take lead in as I have done in the past, is video tutorials to be made and present a list of planned videos to the Staff for approval as to what the want shown/made and what they don't.
2. Player and/or GM assistance. There are certain parts of the game that will require more players than the available Wiki staff, and some that will happen less often as some would require GM assistance. A great example of this which could go with the video project is the Conquests. The reason why I brought this one up is because I haven't learned the new way to play a conquest, and I looked through the small description of the conquest page and I still didn't under stand (this is what helped sparked the idea for this post). So certain permissions could be needed from GM's in game, like a false conquest to record and show how it works, and other players could be needed for other aspects and info of the game that we are missing.
3. Final reviewing and updating previous articles to look better and fill in missing information. I've been through some of the older components and ships, some of the newer components and ships and noticed a large amount of them were using old templates or were using duplicated and not needed templates. that and were missing new info on a few older articles and such.
So feedback guys, what do you think we could do? thoughts?
