So are you guys gonna update the wiki now?
« on: February 19, 2012, 07:25:26 am »

And not just copy paste .32. pages to 34 pages?

I mean, some of the pages were old already... Creature list for example didn't list new animal men.

If a page is out of date, then update it.

I figured it'd be better to have incomplete information than to have no information at all.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

A wiki is a community effort. That means you, and me. The wiki is not made by Toady, is not run by Toady, but is endorsed by Toady. You make some discoveries? Go update the page, or make the apropriate page! Its not like people get paid to run the wiki and make the pages.

If you don't put something in, don't complain when you get nothing out.

I never said toady o-o By "You guys" I mean the people who update the wiki.

I can't do updating because one 1) My grammar sucks 2) I'm not really confident in my editing skills  :P

Do it anyway. Even if your writing sucks, it will be fixed.

Okay, seems like I can't edit without an account  :P I hate having accounts one every site I visit(which is why I didn't create account for this forum either until when I got sick of not being able to comment on certain threads), so yeah.

Some people have spent dozens of hours updating and organizing the wiki so it could be useful to you.  Do you think it's fair basically saying "so are you guys gonna keep working for free for me?" while also refusing to bother with a 30 second process in order to contribute a small amount to the effort?

Sorry, didn't mean to be offensive ^_^;

Ok, I think I figured out how to edit... Though not all pages can be edited it seems. Anyway, trying to do the editing!
