Cleaning Up The Wiki, Part 5723985
« on: April 17, 2010, 09:20:21 PM »
Here's the list of what needs to be done.

Notice how much of it is in the "delete it" section.  For those taking notes, that's a not-so-subtle clue that the reason the old Wiki was disabled was because everyone went around posting whatever garbage they wanted to it.  Let's not have that happen again.

Anyways, if somebody will let me I'll make the changes and we can get this thing up and running again.

lol, love some of the comments.  Personally, I think we need to list out what needs to be on an OUF wiki, build the pages 1 by 1, delete the old pages, and put in the new ones.

edit: and by build 1 by 1, I mean fully complete one page before working on a new one.

Hold on... Weren't there plans (by Blackbox) to integrate the wiki with the main site? If that is the case, we may have to rewrite everything and there is no point in cleaning up the old wiki.

Anyways, what CK9 says is right: first lets make a list of what info shall be there, then put the articles. Here's some:

- Strategy guides | definetely useful for all new players

- Complete Unit reference | yes, there is a help file, but that is so old, some people cannot open it on modern systems

- List of maps | I want to know what a map looks like before playing it

- everything related to hacking op2 and creation of new content | better than having people search for it on the forums

- Game Types | oh yes, for newbies these can be helpful. We could possibly link to maps for specific game types or to strategies

- bugs in op2 | always good to know

Well, all of this should be either on the site or on the wiki.

Wow, you've been busy, Sirbomber! :)

We might want to put everything up on the wiki Leviathan set up for us a while back so we can figure out a nicely organized layout before overwriting what's on this wiki. Then we can Export everything from newwiki and Import that to our wiki.

Uh, all I'm suggesting is we get rid of a boatload of useless pages we don't need.  It's not much, but it's a step in the right direction.

My take on some of the "useless" stuff B)

Anyways, nice effort for going through it all Sirbomber (thumbsup)




- http://wiki.outpostuniverse.net/Hotkeys || Pointless AND bad advice.
(This list isn't very good, but we should include a list of hotkeys and how to use them)

- http://wiki.outpostuniverse.net/Known_bugs || Ancient history.
(Not a complete list. Old bugs are currently becoming so old, new players don't know about them - I suggest we rewrite and complete the list of bugs and glitches)

- http://wiki.outpostuniverse.net/Old_Players_List || Just Lev whining about "the good old days." (I would like to see a bigger and better version of this, it's nice for some of the old timers to look back to - On the other hand it is probably a futile process since so many names and details around them has been lost)

- http://wiki.outpostuniverse.net/Pie_Chart || Just a list of irrelevant videos.
(Perhaps not too relevant these days, though I still suggest we keep these somewhere rather than simply delete them)

- http://wiki.outpostuniverse.net/Playing_Multiplayer_Games || LEARN TO PLAY
(Update and improve. Newcomers should have a decent guide to refer to instead of being yelled at in games for messing things up. If they read it is another matter i suppose)

- http://wiki.outpostuniverse.net/Some_Combat_Considerations || Point?
(Not known by everybody. Nice to have written somewhere)

- http://wiki.outpostuniverse.net/Build_Order || Ancient.
(Ancient, but probably forgotten by many current players. Would be good to have a rewrite)

- http://wiki.outpostuniverse.net/Deploying_Structures || LEARN TO PLAY
(Perhaps known to most people. But might still fit in somewhere if we're gonna describe the game in detail)

- http://wiki.outpostuniverse.net/Multiplayer_Ethics || Useless.
(A basic list of what we expect players to follow should be found somewhere. Rewrite and update?)

- http://wiki.outpostuniverse.net/Quick_Guid...layer_Outpost_2 || Lame tutorial.
(Could be better and perhaps fitted in with other things. Still good to have somewhere though)

- http://wiki.outpostuniverse.net/Desktop_Themes || Pointless.
(People might still want these for nostalgic reasons. One should be able to find them somewhere on opu site)

- http://wiki.outpostuniverse.net/Old_Clan_List || Who cares?
(Again nostalgic reasons. Easiest to do here is to copy the old info from kevins old site - we have that stored somewhere)

- http://wiki.outpostuniverse.net/Pie || Useless.
(Doesn't say anything about Pie, but this is a pretty good guide on how to play a no mark game - probably belongs under some form of strategy page)  
There can be Only one. Wipe Them out. All of Them.

Old player still playing. Visit Spark for a game of Outpost 2

just a note on the old clan list:

when I first put it together, I had links to what remained of the sites of the clans.  It was my intention for any stretegies, ideas, ect. to be fully viewable.

Lev is no longer associated with this community and his wiki should not be used (we do not control that domain nor do we have any kind of access to the database which would be necessary to export them).

About integrating the wiki -- perhaps we could just make the main site a wiki itself (but with a skin that looks like a real website, not a wiki), thoughts?

I know Lev is no longer associated, but it doesn't mean we can't use the wiki he set up. We don't need access to a database because MediaWiki has a nice export page.

Of course, we could always just create another wiki on these servers, but why bother? ..Ok, maybe I'm just not paranoid enough..

I am for it. At least that would solve the question of what to put on the main site and what to put on the wiki. - have everything on the main site. that is simple and works.
