Let's get Wiki - Basic Discussion

I've been considering trying to put together a tool that would be able to automatically submit information about specific things (such as items) because manually editing things is rather slow and tedious. Still not much progress, and no guarantees anything will come of this, but it's something that's been on my mind for a few days now.

 

Hmm I'm still not a huge fan of putting you tube vids up in the middle of an article. It's a wiki, except for explaining something complicated text should suffice. And I usually expect text when I check a wiki, If i want a youtube tutorial I just go to YouTube anyway.

 

Link is broken, seems that the server is down or something

 

It works now thanks

 

i have got the beta of the game once the game fully comes out will it just be updated free of charge of am i going to have to pay again ?

 

oh sorry ;P could not find where it was

 

I encountered a problem. I can't launch the game properly. Every time I launch the game, it just gets stuck at the loading screen no matter which one I choose. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

 

While editing I noticed you cannot edit the first paragraph ("opening") of an item. Is this intended?

 

Damn it. I clicked the big blue edit button :/ . Well I need to get more wiki I suppose.

 

Why can I not delete a character?

 

The wiki appears to be down at the moment. Trying to reach it presents me with a 404 error. Maintenance? Or is something wrong?

 

Well, I'm just happy to know that it was a temporary thing. Thank you.

 

This might not be the most constructive comment out there. But I think that the current Starbounder wiki format is not a very good one. I would much prefer the style that http://terraria.gamepedia.com/Terraria_Wiki uses. It's clear, has everything you need form a wiki right under your fingertips and has a very nice layout without any clutter. The current one feels very claustrophobic in my mind since it's limited to a specific resolution side ways and doesn't fill the whole screen if I have the space available. Everything is in different places where you'd expect and somehow has more flash than function with all the graphical elements and theme used.

And I very much like how the front page of the Terraria wiki is a very good startpoint for everything one would clearly need to get started on a Terraria... current front page is not very well organized and one has to scroll down awful lot since it's not very wide if it ever has enough data to get a good start to the wiki.

 

The Planet Project seems to be a great idea however I feel your needs would be better served by a service on the Wiki that uses the latest planet generator to generate the planet in question and give in depth information on structures, monsters, and ore distribution instead of the limited information that contributers could offer.
