We need wiki maintainers. Closely work with coders to make wiki edits. Never be thanked for your job. Write cool guides that will be read by !!millions!! of spacemen.

Leave your name below if you're contactable via IRC/PM/Byond pager.

Thanks.

Im finding all the time that I know more shit about the game than the wiki does, which is annoying as hell. Count me in.

Sounds like fun, I'll try it out.

Contributing to the wiki is really easy:

You just do it

And never ask me how to do it since i don't know how to

I'm not even in charge of the wiki, I'm just putting this out there as a PSA, since a lot of shit has changed and we need people to update it asap. If you leave your details here and you're experienced coders can reach out to you that are too lazy to update wikis themselves.

I can do it. Just give me some details and I'm in.

I have been making minor edits and corrections here and there as I find them in game or when browsing the code. Im down for doing actual updates based on code pushes.

Yeah I'm interested
I can be reached on literally all three of those if you still need someone

Im too lazy to contribute with coding so I might as well try here. Sounds interesting.

It's nice to see enthusiasm for the wiki anytime, but as mentioned there's not anything special for it; just go edit a page.

If you need help with templates/formatting/locked pages or whatever then come ask us.

I'm down. Send me a PM or pager message anytime.

I know quite a few awesome things and I love to write long winded paragraphs, I'm in.

What's the point on "wiki maintainers"? Anyone can edit the wiki so I fail to understand the idea of a maintainer for the wiki outside of some form of motivation or status.

Instead of making this thread you could just post your requests on the stickied wiki thread which all the "maintainers" (including anyone who has a forum account) can read and take action to.

Also to people who feel like this: instead of being annoyed, simply make a post to the thread telling which guide is out of date and now everyone knows about it and it'll be much more likely to be updated. Or even better... just update the guide and help everyone else!

This thread can be locked then, i just wanted the wiki to get some attention

As i have said several times, rather than having a single thread for wiki discussion, make a subforum. Would be much easier to organize a to-do list and get feedback compared to a single clusterfuck thread.

Request it in the site idea's thread, I'm sure MrS will do it if you ask nice enough.

My only doubts is that it wouldn't get much "traffic" on the forums and it'll end up another dead subsection. But if you genuinely think it'll be used Im sure it can be done ^^

I did suggest it quite a while ago. Even if it didnt get much traffic, it would attract more attention than a single topic on one subforum.

You can be locked now.
