I love the wiki! Some of it needs work but the boys are diligently including a vast amount of time to work on it! I'm glad XIII is putting up with all the smack talk because the wiki is improving a whole bunch because of it! Sure people might not like some of the articles on there but that is why he's working hard to improve it! Keep being supremely awesome guys!

I have to agree with Lynx there! So maybe we have a standard template to follow when we edit?
Eyes on Final Fantasy: memberlist:rodarian
Like this one here?
Don't mention formatting. Along with Momiji I had to comb through the entire wiki and redo every single link that had more than 1 word in it because a third member was keeping them as one word and the wiki will read "Loony BoB" and "LoonyBoB" as two different pages.
There are two golden rules for the wiki. One is to make a lot of links between articles. Having articles that have few links to them runs a risk of orphaning them. An orphaned article has nothing that links to it but the page exists. Also these links better be in the correct format, because otherwise you will end up making dead links for things that already have articles and it will get confusing. More info is found on the wiki itself. If you plan on editing/creating pages, read the syntax guide.
The second rule is have fun. If you don't like how a members page looks then nobody is stopping you from editing it. Just don't be a jerk and vandalize it or anything you wouldn't do on the forums themselves.
Edit: Eyes on Final Fantasy: templates
Let's take this for example:
Eyes on Final Fantasy: memberlist:rodarian
and I link that above to
Eyes on Final Fantasy: memberlist
This. Is that how things work?
I actually just made a section for templates. Link is in my previous post in this thread.
Ya! That's a good idea!I actually just made a section for templates. Link is in my previous post in this thread.
But what about the links that you mention? Am I doing it right?

Yes!
However I'm not sure who did this but here is an example of what not to do.
In the competitions page there is a link to EoFF Elections, while in groups and factions there was a link that leads to Elections, a page that also has no content. I've already fixed the link, but you want to avoid things like that.
I think we have to argue for the other side now.So seldom do we agree, I must worry about my own view!

I've made the elections my priority, but thank you for fixing that up qwerty. Seems like I'm gonna have to comb other pages for possible linkbacks or whatever the term is.
Do... do I have a wiki? How do I get one?
You're on my list of people who need one, Clo. Jiro and I are going to be tackling that next after we've finished what we're working on now.
Hm maybe I wasn't aware of just how jarbled a mess the wiki was. Like I said, I'm all for note-padding it, because I enjoy the idea of weird random edits about people. But if people are just being weird and random with no focus, well, the wiki definitely doesn't really need to be that much like usernotes. So I would submit to the idea of templating and balancing out the messiness
Which one of you sabotaged the wiki!? D:
hmmm, Internal Server error. I blame BoB.
