You guys have been doing great work, Wiki is looking much improved! Wish there was more I could do to help you guys but basic stuff/motivating others is all I'm good for lol. Keep it up though, I'm sure everyone here, as well as new players looking for info really appreciate what you fellas are doing! I'm debating taking down the "To do" list, as the number of things that have been fixed/changed is growing too large to keep track of, also most of the current items are done!
If you have any 2 of the following 3 things: Time, Interest, or Ability; Head on over to the RimWorld wiki and help improve/update it! http://rimworldwiki.com

New main page is up.
Thanks to Tynan for his critics, ideas, eyes and opinions.

I just have to say this progress is awesome. Thanks so much guys.

If there's anything you need me to change in LocalSettings.php or anywhere else let me know. I've tried to clean up the config as much as possible but I may have broken something with thumbnails at some point. Sorry about that.

I'll send you my copy of the LocalSettings.php which works totally fine with the same version of Mediawiki.
Just watch out for the usual SQL configs which shouldn't change, but I'm sure you know about it.

I'd also try getting the translation plugin to start cooperating again.

As said,  that one fails miserably. Need a new proper one. Ain't top priority.
Does the official one not work? Maybe it's just a problem with the config, or we need to try another version.

I think it'd be better to clean up and update the wiki before we worry about translating it. Not a lot of point if the material isn't useful.

I agree. I also think that it would be best to do translations relatively independently, in Wikipedia style. As far as I can tell, on that site, the only links between translation subdomains are where you can see the same article in other languages.

Who's "in charge" of/who administrates the wiki? I need to contact them about something.

Not sure if it's HatesYourFace or Tynan (or someone else), there isn't a general contact page or section.

Tynan, with the cooperation of everyone deciding the way it goes, as I told you ...

Yay! :D

Can we get the community portal/village pump page on the sidebar? It's not even on the main page, and it needs some attention.

Should be done by Tynan as he's the only Sysop/Bureaucrat/admin. Regular registered users can't.
Left a message on the proper page about it.

Must be done quite fast, as we got peeps doing their own work in their corner disregarding this thread and the choice done by everyone.
