The Wiki

[444]

I think I had meant to start a thread about the wiki, but don't think I've done it yet. Yeah, I thought it'd be a good idea to have a thread here in the DS community where we could discuss the wiki: problems, questions, tips, and that sort of thing. So here it is.

I'd like to point out the following posts to the wiki:

here &

here,

with the recommendation that they be deleted and the users banned ASAP.

Oh, and in case any wiki users are unaware of this (I was until recently), you can easily timestamp your Talk enteries by putting ~~~~~ after your user name.

Okay, complete amateur question... but what's the wiki etiquette? Is it basically just updated with the release of each new issue, or is there more to it than that?

Well, I dunno' that I'm the best to answer this, but it seems to me that we are free to update it whenever we feel that something can be added to it that will improve its content with regard to the Sleepless storyline as revealed thus far.

I mean, you might be re-reading one of the old issues and pick up on something that hasn't yet been recorded--like you find a detail or something that you think might add to the wiki's content. Or, like you say, you get on the new issue promptly and get some of it rebroadcast to the wiki. I also think there's nothing wrong with adding further extrapolation to already established entries, at least, IMHO.

The talk pages of any entry are also great places to speculate, to examine, and to explore without muddying up the main articles.

So yeah, I think it might be summed up best as: "Do what thou will--merely don't be a wanker."

Jump right in, in other words--use yer head, be kind.

Excellent summary! :D

Tee-hee--thanks!

Be good to see a few more people hoppin' on the wiki...

STAT!

OK, I went ahead and deleted the content of those nonsense posts, but don't have the ability to delete the actual entries. Someone higher up will have to take care of that and the banning!

Sorry, I missed this thread - I'd have given Mark a heads up on the spammer sooner. :/

No apology necessary: you do so, so much as it is!
