Regnum Online Wiki at Wikia - Page 2

Gideon_Slack · 09-17-2008, 10:05 PM

The wiki has grown spectacularly since it was started. We have some amazing articles written by people who know the game

.

One thing to consider as the wiki grows, is that there are more risks of "collisions of opinion". These happen all the time on forums: there are some flames, and the worse thing that happens is that a thread is closed -- the forum goes on.

On a wiki, however, collisions of opinion can lead to "edit wars" where pages are changed to one version then another again and again. When this happens, the value of the wiki is ruined for everyone.

When considering major changes to an article (such as replacing big chunks of content, drastically changing the layout of a page, disputing someone's interpretation of a fact and so on), it is best to use the article's "Talk Page". This is a tab labelled "Discussion" at the top right of the article. The "Talk Page" can be edited like any other wiki page, and here major changes can be discussed.

And the wiki may be one of the first places newcomers look for information on RO -- so we should put our best foot forward!

Regards.

I edited out the "Things to consider when playing a ... " section of every class and added a pros & cons section instead, trying to be as objective as possible, and not writing about warlocks in every page

Hm, this wiki could really be the One And Only site for players to use, come to think of it. A page for every:

Spell
NPC
Mob
Equipment piece
Quest

would be awesome, I think that covers the entire regnum data. If everyone worked on it, it wouldn't be so much work.

Pages for the cities, landmarks, and stuff like that would be nice too.

Also, the entire backstory of the game needs to be somewhere there as well.

Who put the Great Wall as Great Portal?

ncvr · 09-18-2008, 06:20 AM

Me. And you do use the Great portal to exit the realm. And that is what the NPCs call it in quests.

I corrected the knight chapter and added magnets thoughts (http://regnumonline.com.ar/forum/sho...2&postcount=2), i hope he don't minds. Well doesn't matter, its already there. XD

I removed the note saying that Intimidating Threat is bugged, as it's not.

Also I added the Esquelio page. I hope it's ok!

Added a picture to the Ignis Realm section too.

*EDIT* I've added quite alot of pictures and doo-dars also.

Added a bit more info on the game overview page to make it a bit more noob-friendly. If there are stuff that can be linked and I forgot to link them in that page, please edit it

Miraculix · 09-20-2008, 11:12 PM

We should make every spell name in the class and subclass pages linkable (ie add the [[ ]] around it) and then add the spell info, one by one. Most of the info can be found in www.regnumzg.com.ar under Oracle -> Skills. We also need to agree on a common template for spell pages.

Any of the other guys that are actively editing the wiki thinks we should do that?

EDIT: I just went ahead and made all the spell names linkable. I also could not find the 4 common disciplines and their spells listed from each of the 3 main classes except for mage, am I missing smth?

Also, the page named "Training" needs another name, perhaps smth longer or more descriptive, cause now the hunter spell "Training" links to that page
