[Wiki] Discussion

I guess a lot of stuff mentioned here can be considered fixed now.

Thank you for your continued hard work on the project. : )

That's the least I could do.

There's a lot of outdated content in some sections -- some pages were last updated in 2012 (not counting the changes in layout, that is). I've been updating MTA:SA section actively because that's the only server that I play on, and Kerbe and Sven have contributed with edits to IV:MP section. Other than that, there were a few updates from some stickies found on the forum, as well as minor, sporadic updates to admin lists. SA-MP, as the largest section, largely documents RS4, which was rendered obsolete a year ago with introduction of RS5. Clearly, there's a lot work to be done to get these areas up to date, and keep it updated in the future, of course.

If anyone wants to help out, send me a message over the forum and I'll give you editor access. If you don't have an account already, include the username that you want and your email address, and I'll set up your account (this is because registrations are disabled which I have not been able to fix yet).


Edit: I've changed the topic title as the variety of the discussion within doesn't reflect discussing just page layouts.

That sounds good.

And I agree, if there are people who really want to help develop Argonath and have the ability to, the Wiki 'knowledge base' is a brilliant initiative for them.

It would be very useful to have a Wiki button somewhere prominent (perhaps on top banner) on the forum.
The link at the bottom's there, but it is just one URL out of many.
This should help further promote a really great resource that this community has.

Lots of stuff is old and was not updated, any ideas of how this could be fixed ? And don't say:  "2 or 3 people can do all the work."

I agree. On several occasions I've encountered people who never heard of it, and these are not new players who registered last week. Perhaps the main problem with the adoption is that the server managers and developers are not interested in contributing to it; instead they rely on GUI systems in game and stickied topics, but those tend to become outdated after a while. While I agree that it is a good approach for checking things fast, having documentation on the Wiki where it can be linked and formatted, illustrated with graphics and tables, and, most importantly, searched, is something I believe is worth having.

By updating it, obviously. That's what a wiki is, a site that can be updated by its visitors.

It is possible, most of the pages were made by me while I was playing everywhere instead of just MTA:SA.

Would be nice if we could register

I'd really encourage all willing editors to sign up (by sending a message to Patton).
I am sure it will be a very quick process and more than that, your contributions will be so valuable to the larger community.

The Wiki is almost cleaned up. But there are still some works to do. We have a list that shows what could we do to improve and keep our wiki updated and we're trying to edit our wiki according to this list. Also we do update the wiki for the new script updates about each server and for the important announcements.

I am sure it will be a very quick process and more than that, your contributions will be so valuable to the larger community.

That's right. At least I agree
