Wiki needs updating!

[Daman453]

Everything in New incidents is done. So good to be helping out.

Interesting.
I have done some wiki edits before, mainly templates and designs...and I really dislike writing out the contents.
That means I can probably contribute with improving the wiki structure. 
So, is there anyone or a few members of dedicated people that is currently managing the wiki?

I've been updating and adding content, alot, since March. More recently I've learned about templates and queries. I'm not an admin but I have a personal goal to keep editing the wiki until it's done, which is a moving goalpost with each new release. I love writing content and making templates as well. You certainly have alot more experience than me about templates. You should be able to edit almost anything without special permission, including templates. Feel free to direct message me on the forum or on the wiki (Jimyoda on both). If you need to contact a wiki admin talk to Zesty. On here he goes by ZestyLemons.

That's interesting. I took some time to look around and discovered a few things, just want to bring it up so we can get to a decision.

• I read through all the posting in this thread. It was a very exciting collaboration by all you people, and I would be excited to be part of it.


• I realized there isn't a communication ground setup for people to interact. Usually there is the "talk/discussion" page in Wiki itself, however it is not used often and it can get messy in hot topics.
  We also have this forum which we can utilize to allow talks and discussions. If we create a sub-forum section here and have a sub-forum guideline structure that people needs to follow, it could be easier for people to communicate.
  
  Right now, it seems like a few people drop an update in the discussion section of a page, while others just reply to this thread; and if you want to track a page's progression either you need to read this entire thread and dig it out OR you need to sort through the page's changes in history revisions.
  
  Of course there is Pros and Cons in both suggestions. If we use the wiki built-in discussion pages, it will track all discussions regarding the page there at a glance; If we use the forum, we will have threads and threads of discussion that could become messy.
  
  I personally think that creating a sub-forum might be a better option for us right now, as people are more familiar with posting in forum than in discussion pages of wiki. If we allow a few dedicated people to help manage wiki sub-forum, it could be manageable. We can enforce guideline such as Subject structure like having (Close) in the beginning of the subject line indicate the thread is complete, and (A12d) indicating it is related to Alpha 12d and stuff.


• The To-Do list page, the version history page are important pages that are nice but need to be reworked and updated. I also think we should have a Wiki Guideline page that describes uses and formats that all editors should try to work towards. So in the long run, we can have a more unified looking wiki that everyone contributes.

And it would be awesome if we have a kind of authority that help steer the progression in a general direction...*looks at Tynan*

I'm definitely up for having some wiki guidelines, but you'll have to ask Ty about the subforum stuff.

[LaMizzy]

Well, after a long day of effort...I have completed overhauling the http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Version page and its contents.

I have also started discussions in the Wiki To-Do talk page (http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/RimWorld_Wiki_talk:To-do).
They are [Project Proposal] Category Hierarchy Overhaul, and [Project Proposal] Wiki Guideline.
If you got a moment, please drop by and help expand those topics, thanks!

No worry! The version pages are mainly using my new template, VersionFrame, and I have documented that template in details so should be straight forward. If you have any issues, you can refer to all other version pages...its very straight forward. =)

Just a heads up, I haven't had time to review and update the two previously existing template...Template:V, and Template:Version.
Template:Version is the infobox that float to the right with links...it is basically a navigation infobox.
Template:V is a template for linking to individual version page. So you just need to keep the pattern going, creating the version page as sub pages of Internal Version or Version.

Of course, if you ever had a question...goto my wiki user talk page and drop it there. I will get back to you =)

No need to hurry, got another 5 months till it needs updating

[Jimyoda]

If you can, please help update the wiki for the following:

http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Psychic_insanity_lance

http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Psychic_shock_lance

http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Psychic_soothe_pulser

Where it says <!--Enter info here-->, replace all including the brackets. Don't worry too much about spelling/grammar, just write what you know.

If this topic is still on.. topic, can a moderator change this page, please?
http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Deterioration
"Immunity
Resources that are immune to deterioration are metal, stone, leather, and hyperweave cloth. "
I'm seeing a deterioration bar on my leather (safetely stored inside ) so it may not be immune. Or I'm wrong.

I've been using the wiki lately and noticed empty pages or out of date things. Created an account to realize I can't edit.

So, how do I get editing privileges or who should I PM the content to?

[ShadowTani]

I believe it should be possible for you to edit most pages, with some exceptions, as soon as you've confirmed your email after registering your account on the wiki. I registered and did one edit last week, so it used to work at least.

[Mudder]

Weird. Email was optional for me, didn't give it. Maybe that's the issue?
