Full Version: WIKI NOTICE: Faction Articles in need of Update.

Straight to the point.

A lot of Player Faction Articles here are in need of a revamp. We've noticed that many of them are incomplete, lack proper formatting/templates/images, written in an OoRP manner, or are otherwise not up to standard.

For Example: Articles such as

http://discoveryfl.com/wiki/index.php?titl...ayer_faction%29
http://discoveryfl.com/wiki/index.php?titl...ayer_faction%29
and http://discoveryfl.com/wiki/index.php?titl...k_Nile_Squadron

Are examples of the types of issues with OoRP and Incomplete Content.

What we're looking for is more akin to

http://discoveryfl.com/wiki/index.php?titl...ayer_faction%29
http://discoveryfl.com/wiki/index.php?title=Aoi_Iseijin
http://discoveryfl.com/wiki/index.php?title=Consortium

In terms of inRP historical information, formatting, and relevant information. This should apply to both official factions and articles on unofficial groups.

Faction/Group Leaders and Members should look into revamping articles more regularly and keeping information fresh. If not the leaders themselves, have some ranking members take care of it. Everything should ideally be done in an in-depth and concise manner, with as little OoRP as possible (necessary OoRP segments should be marked).

Again, just a friendly reminder (READ: You're all on the list) to check your factions' articles and update/expand/fix as necessary.

I also Noticed several Others to be Out of date. Like the prices for Goods in some stations are Wrong Faction pages too (like Watsas said) I think we need a Special Wiki team. a few or alot of people who can work on the Wiki and Know quite alot about the whole of disco

Johann (aka Muad'Dib) has done wonders with the Zoners Trading Consortium page. Pretty pictures and everything.

Reisiger
Well... OSI's page has been brought in line with our official faction status post: Link

I got to update the roster though... we had another small influx of new folks crazy.gif

Any comments, please post on the discussion page.
Yukari Yakumo
There's still a couple of big factions that have a bit of retooling to do.

Namely, KNF, LN, and RM.

Zelot
I was unaware that part of the requirements for having an official faction was keeping a wiki page up to date.
Sovereign
Requirement? No. Would make us very very happy? Yes.

Speaking of such, I promise I'll do the Das Wilde page! Eventually!

EDIT: Sonofa- not again...

...and Unofficial Factions, Player Characters, Ships, RP stories, and Records of logging into and out of the server.


It's required to make Watsas smile smile.gif !

And when have I ever tried to make you smile?

I'll be honest, a wiki page on the Liberty Navy?

I could construct one out of our faction status, picking the relevant bits out pretty easily.

But its possibly the lowest thing on my list of priorities compared to keeping everything in Liberty sane (or proving a point about why folks need us to keep it that way) as well as the actual mountain of paperwork I should probably do on top of my three essays that I need to do for university classes which I've yet to start.

If I get around to it/remember.

As a note for myself, it'll include:

- Information, and specify the high command (which rarely changes) as opposed to the entire roster.
- Feedback thread link
- Liberty Navy subdivisions link, broken to three parts for each current division
- Colourful lightbulbs.
- Links to ships
- A massive link to the law document
- A slightly less massive but still sizable link to the embargo document, which I need to update.
- A link to the Liberty Government / Navy bounties.
- <3's
- And probably a highlighted section on the differences between the Primary and Secondary fleet.

Alrighty, get to it!
OMG Ivan!
@ zelot: I doubt they really "need" you to do it. You can refuse, they're just poking with the stick to see will someone make it, since it seems tons of people go to wiki daily

Did some major updating on the LR- faction page. Isn't it just the most awesome page on the wiki? :3

I still gotta add a few more things when I get more time.

You don't say... I only just saw the Recent Changes page. I thought someone had used some sort of vandalism bot on it... Then I saw it was just you uploading pictures and editing the LR page. rolleyes.gif
Anyway, nice job.
I guess I can work on the Synth Foods, Kruger, and RFP pages... If I can work out what needs to be changed.

Hows the LPI page (Other than an update to the players names)?

It's ridiculously thorough. You might think about re-ordering the sections though, especially the roster if it is not going to be updated regularly.

Bloody brilliant.


Nighthawk, there's a "preview" button. Upload what you've done every now and then, but while tweaking a page constantly I usually leave it in previews so as not to spam the recent changes. That said, I'm with Alex here, awesome that you're working on the wiki.
OMG Ivan!
I edited back the OTC page, someone affiliated them with Zoners.

Keep in mind that the site is very pretty and the faction might be emerging again.

Hellfire Legion wiki page has undergone a massive update, due in no small part to Denelo.

Sweet, looks pretty good. I see a lot of orange links though, I hope somoene or a group of people is planning on making pages for those eventually.

Great work on the TOC, though im not sure if every different rank needs to be a heading. One doesnt often see a section for a single sentence, and since there are a great deal of ranks it somewhat clutters up the table of contents.

I really love those side boxes though. Good way to add flavor and extra information. I would put what the information in the box is up at the top though, so people can decide if they want to read it without scolling all the way to the bottom.

But yeah, overall great job.

Me 'n RedBull will work on VR's page some more.
