Hey Ty can we use the Wiki for mods and info on mods?

[Ramsis]

I mean it's a nice wiki and all but with as much mod content as we have would you be opposed to mod makers posting their stuff in there as long as it's labeled as mod stuff? That or would you have a problem with a RimWorld mod wikia?

Just a thought.

I'd like to know too.  Mods on the wiki (to me) means:
- Easier to find mods/updates
- More people on the wiki
- More contributors to the rest of the wiki too!
- More mod tutorials on the wiki


EDIT:

While I don't find it difficult to find mods (Igadbod's been doing a fantastic job at keeping his A8 mod list up to date), I do agree that opening it up to mods would generate more traffic to the wiki.

[Ramsis]

Seeing as this has been necro'd, I must ask Tynan if you'd be willing to finally let us use the wiki for mod information? Just a separated section because honestly at this point I know far fewer people playing vanilla and so many more playing mods, which honestly is a wonderful synergy to see in this community.

Can't see why not, although with so much work to be done on it, Someone else will probably have keep it updated.

I'll set up a section ready for anyone to add mods they wish.

If it is added we should keep it to strictly mod author added and don't allow for other user to add a mod list this to avoid outdated mods in the list.

[Fernbhoy]

Well i've added added the old mod pages we had so lord knows how outdated they are

All it is though is a like of how to mod and a link to the mod forum atm.

I'm fine with this.

[Tynan]

I'd be okay with it as long as there is a system/naming standard that keeps mod-related content strictly separated from vanilla content. I think the DF wiki does this decently.

Have a nice way to.

Well Evul we've been given gold by Tynan, would you be opposed to assisting the modding board into a quick and easy transfer of info to the Wiki itself?

i'd say of the 2 so far, that's a winner

[milon]

Shouldn't be too hard for those familiar with wikis to create a template and appropriate tag(s).  That should keep things separate enough, yes?

[Jaxxa]

I would suggest a different mod page for each Alpha, with the main link pointing to the most recent one.

That way when a mod is updated to work with a new alpha the author adds it to the page and the abandoned / not working mods are cleared out automatically (when a new page is made and the link is changed).

[milon]

Jaxxa, that's pretty brilliant!  I second that idea.
