A great idea Tahmas, will I have to make an account or will I be able to edit with out one, and if I have to how do I do so

Currently we're waiting for Tythus to enable the feature for Players to make their own accounts, but if you want to go and message member of the WT, or even myself, we'll go ahead and make your account for you.

Guys, the internet has literally tens of thousands of open-source wikis that somehow manage to not fall apart. Something tells me that somehow ours will find a way to survive.

Sounds good!

I'm feeling that a lot of this will be just stuff written in papers rather than actual actions.

TL;DR

• Wiki opened up
• Bad content will be removed
• Good content is good
• Wiki Contests coming back

Forgive me if this has been asked here already, but when you say its open, do you mean technically anyone can log in and edit anything and then its updated for everyone and then the mods will just fix/touch up things/remove inappropriate things? Or do you mean anyone can edit, but the edits have to then be approved by the moderators before it appears live on the wiki fpr everyone else? Because if its possible wouldnt option 2 be better? That way anyone can edit, its not restricted to only a small team, but then it would still be controlled by the staff to an extent. At least in my opinion.

 

Thanks!

You can make an account, once tythus allows the option, and you can edit any page that isn't restricted. Wiki mods will look through, format things, make it nice and tidy, and remove inappropriate content.

Alrighty, I guess what I'm not clear on is do the player edited posts go live right away? Or are they like "pending" until a mod gets to it? Just curious more than anything, I feel like that could be a handy process to have.

Live right away. I don't think it's possible to make it pending, but either way I think the better way is for it to be ready right away is better then pending.

Yeah, theres probably pros and cons to both ways, depends how much trust there is in the community I suppose haha. I've recently come from a server with a generally not-so-good community, hence why I'm thinking more causiously I suppose.

 

Anywho, thanks for the quick response!

All good apart from allowing players to edit it.

I mean, certain areas are restricted (for obvious reasons, main page.) and it's moderated, with tools capable of reversing attempts of destroying the pages. Not sure why having players able to edit it, would be classified as a negative, this way if someone notices something missing and they have a good knowledge of it, they can add it in.

It's good for the reasonable players but bad for the trolls and griefers so I agree it isn't a full on negative but it's a little bit of a risk.
