Well, I have made an unofficial wiki for ag and because of recent successes I have decided to aske the wider audience for their opinion, feedback, contribution or suggestion. This wiki was made six months ago and has gained more popularity inthe last month.
Any feedback, contribution or the like is welcome on the wiki and this thread.
Thanks to the people that provided feedback in my comments.
I made a few edits to the main page, but gave up just now realising how hopeless this is. You can't edit this wiki, you need to fix it, and that's hard.
I am sorry, but I took a look at it, and as far as I can see, it is just... painful. First of all, a page like your main page could easily just build out the wiki-entry we have already, if written properly and professionally, but if you really want a proper wiki, unofficial or otherwise, you will have to actually build it as a wiki and not just an entry in a collection. You don't publish a book with only one page either, then it isn't a book. It needs a major overhaul to the point of most likely building it up from scratch again with a proper structure and taxonomy unless you want it to do a proper job. As it is, it hardly even informs properly.
Also, this is why doing wikis where I am is a bad idea. 3 years schooling on how to share information properly makes me annoying as hell.
And it is behaving like something bad, so the first comment might be sliiightly too something or another. Still, seeing how the general setup is, and the fact that it apparently dislikes to work properly for me, I have to say it still needs a lot of work on how it is set up. Also, remember to make sure to check for synonyms when you write up entries. Some people call it avatars by default, while the rest of us call it armatars. Some might call it images or profile pictures as well. Same goes with admin/administrator, and mod/moderator. Some of the sections seem to be crammed together and could be put up into different pages and thus give a better flow of the information.
Could it be possible for you to make it only members? That way you would be able to approve of any member of the wiki before they start making changes?
Further, deleting the copypasta as it has no reason to be there, and next time you - fail, please post the entire post corrected, so you don't double post unnecessarily. Thanks.
Other than that, I think you need to sit yourself down and figure out the structure of the site. The main information pages, the underlying information, how much of it that needs a new page to explain it (it has to be big enough to not just leave a stub, but if it is too big, you will need several pages to explain the different aspects). Further, I believe you need to figure out how to make the main page inviting without throwing stuff in everyone's face at the first chance. This means the main page should be short and informative. Keep the information about yourself to a minimum, perhaps put it in the bottom of the site instead, in a smaller size and lesser font, as this is not actually important information, especially not when this is a collective project and not your own.
... You seriously need to get some security measures on that wiki. Though anyone seemingly can edit, I'm not gonna go clean the inappropriate mess up for you.
Rather I will lock this thread. If you want ArmorGames' users to assist you in the creation of a wiki, at least make sure they don't have to look at that sort of, to quote your wiki, "oop". Be professional about it another time. :/
Also, I have deleted the link to your "wiki" from the first page of this thread due to the inappropriate content there is currently on it. Even if you did not put that there, you still posted a link to a page that is now breaking our TaC.
This is not alright. If people keep editing inappropriate content into pages that you link to, you risk getting banned.
In short: Clean the wiki up, clean the security up. When you are sure your wiki is worth looking at and won't be destroyed by random internet users, you can open another thread for discussion of it. Last chance to do it right, though.
