For those who are not aware, we have a wiki which can be found at:
http://escaperestart.com/wiki/Blocktopedia
I am unable to access it while logged into the forums, so if you have this issue, I would use another web browser / log out of the forums.
The wiki currently is very out of date, but once had good information about the community and servers. I am proposing that we update the wiki and start utilising it!
Why use the wiki?
Currently, our servers have the majority of details on the forums in their specific sections, and it takes a player a little while to find out the information they want. For example, if a player wants to know what blocks melt on what mood on RoF, connection info for TTT, or the details of the game modes for AoD, they would have to search through the forums for a specific thread which can be quite tiresome.
Using the wiki, we could link players there, and have everything presented so that it is easy to find and read, which is much better than trawling through the forums.
What would have to be done to bring the wiki up to date?
A lot. I believe SirComputer has already done some work to add some recent information, such as community news and a few details for RoF, but the majority of the wiki is very out of date. Due to this, as mentioned above, I think there should be a staff member who's primary job is to keep the wiki up to date with information. Ideally, a staff member from each server should also have this job to keep their specific server section up to date.
As far as I'm concerned the wiki does have a few back-end issues, but this hopefully should be easy to fix - tnmjimbob.
I am well aware that there is a lot of work to be done should this be accepted, but I think it would be worthwhile.
