Good Content, Bad Content

Blipo · 09-06-2006, 07:41 PM

Well hey there! I'm Blipo, and you might not know me, but I'm a frequent users of Wikipedia, and a few other Wikis. As such, I know a fair bit about how Wikis are run, what good content looks like, and all that good stuff. Now, I'd like to point out some pages to you:

Game Modes - This a good page. It might not look like one, but it is. Originally, it was a page called "Team Deathmatch", and it was only about the game mode TDM. It was, however, renamed to "Game Modes". This way, a person can read about all the game modes, instead of having to hunt through listings, and follow obscure links.

Advanced Wall Slash - This is a bad page. Why? It's like the one above. Why put every move on a different page, when you can easily combine them into one large K-Style guide? It'd much easier to follow that way.

Crispy906 - This is a bad page. I don't know who our friend Crispy is or was, but unless you can write twenty paragraphs under three catagories about him, he doesn't deserve his own page. If he was someone important, why not add him to a page about important GunZ figures? However, if he wasn't, the page might as well be deleted.

Clan List - This is a page I like. Instead of a lot of people going off and making new pages for their clans, they compiled a list. Albeit some people made their own pages anyways; what can we do?

So, there we have it! Now excuse me, I have Wikis to mess with.

And here I come with another small problem:

One page is good. Just one. Three pages on KStyle? No, we only need one. So please, if you're going to create a page, check to make sure it doesn't already exist! If something similar to yours is already around, go there to add your material.

Whoa, look at me go! Another point: Your user page is there for a reason.

Don't make fullpages to yourself, it's just stupid; instead, go edit your user page!

I agree with some of this but disagree with most.

People can make pages about whatever they want... be bold!

Lmao, I thought I moved that to a template page.

Anyway I agree with the "User:___" thing.

But about moves being added into one huge k-style guide... no. If you want all the moves right there on one page on a Wiki, go here. Having pages for each move allows, or at least promotes, people to go more in-depth with it.

My two cents.

Me and Tana worked out something for the KStyle moves, and we fixed up all the KStyle pages. "Category:Korean Style" is the main KStyle page. "Category:Korean Style Guides" was renamed or something. And yeah, Category: Korean Style explains it all.

They should use their own user pages. __________________
