Title: Wiki
Post by: SomeKittens on August 07, 2010, 11:50:36 PM
Does anyone use the Wiki?  I know there was a lot of initial excitement, but what's the attitude now?

I use the Wiki just as much as I use the REG, which is close to never.

I'm all for it.  I absolutely think it should continue to be improved. 

My thought is that it needs a purpose.  At the moment, it is similar to the REG in terms of having card abilities, so it needs something to distinguish it from the other database.  What else should the Wiki do?  Should it have card commentaries?  Strategies?  A more complete collection of rulings that can be kept current?

Exactly.  I'd love to have more meta, details on the expansions, card strategies/counters.  Rulings would be more difficult, unless we get someone committed to working on that.

I'm still actively editing.

If we could get someone who knew their ruling really well and wanted to spend the time, that'd be REALLY nice.

Glad to see people are still using it.  I'd like to get a team together to brainstorm the next step, PM me your applications

I'd be interested.  What all do you want in the PM?

On a side note, I'm having problems getting many of the images to display (ie, most of the lost souls, the TxP expansion image, etc).  Any idea of what I'm dong wrong?

Ideas.  What do you think the next step of the wiki is, and how would you implement it?

I've already emailed a Wika admin, and they say they're working on it, but it's not just ours.

The wiki largely appealed to me in the beginning, and I use it often to search for cards that can do specific abilities, like "heal" so it is quite useful for that.  I do believe that if there was a strategy page or something that would greatly benefit the wiki.  I know I signed up in the beginning and I continue to correct mistakes I see, but I just didn't see a need for "brigade leaders" anymore so I stopped helping, so sorry about that.  But I will continue to contribute to the wiki when I find time.  I think it is a great thing that you have set up SomeKittens, I greatly appreciate it.

Brigade Leaders is kinda outdated, I'll admit.  I'll start working on the next phase after Nationals

I started moving Holder's Heroes articles over there, if that means anything.

I've also included some initial information about some of the expansions, and posted several pages outlining the core of gameplay: phases of a turn, card types, things like that.  It is what makes up the new main menu system.
