Before you jump right in, read this.

Before you jump right in, learn a bit about Wiki standards. I'm a slight Wikipedian so some of the things I saw made me crazy.

If you're one of the few that's been living under a rock for the past couple of years and you don't know what a Wiki is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki

Here's quite possibly the most important thing to know. Required reading. It's more common sense than anything, but I've seen someone go against this with what little articles we have >__>;;;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Five_pillars

If you have a problem moving around Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial

These are important if you're going to go and edit stuff:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...updating_pages
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Editing_policy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...lified_Ruleset
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...kipedia_is_not

Last but not least, these are important if you plan on really getting into the Gunzfactor Wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Page_history

Anything else you're still pondering? Ask in this thread or go to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents

Sorry for the sticky fishing, but I just wanted to get that all cleared up.

Why do we need this when we have the regular Wikipedia article? ._.

It's decently maintained, and chances are that the Wikipedia editors are more knowledgeable/experienced with the style and formatting of the articles.

You can't write every gosh darn thing about GunZ onto one Wikipedia article. Well, technically you could, but Wikipedia tries to maintain a limit. Also, even if a limit, there are some menial things that need their own Wiki.

Presenting the information clearly and without bias is more important than the manual of style.

Hmmkay.

As long as there's a few people who know how to edit, I guess it should be fine.

For the length thing in the main article, it's been brought up before - may want to split the article in two, one for Gunz and one for all techniques.
