Since I figured making this thread would motivate me and possibly get more help I need for the ICW wiki.
Use the A-Wing as a model for how all unit pages should look (minus videos) and Ackbar for heroes.
Current Focus: New Republic
Current To-Do List:
Era 1 Ships
Heroes
T-B Series of Tanks
Rebel Starfighters
Make sure that there's a standard format for everything and uses images from the Thrawn's Revenge Website.

question: can you make it so the wiki says the exact number of hardpoints each unit has, and their stats, because i saw that for ISD 1 i believe, and it was really helpful. if you can, great. i would help, but School and Scouts kicked up again, so i don't have much free time
-
Pretty certain that the standard info text on ships "health autoresolve health" what not includes that.

Check the Manuel, it should be there, if not I need to go through it again lol

alright, since i couldn't find the thread in the boards, I'll reiterate here.
the wiki needs a LOT of work. most importantly, the New Republic and Warlords. there are many things in the wiki, mostly units, that are Red links or should be links but are not there. i can only do a little here and there, but since i'm not on the team and have never actually played the game, there is only so much i can do. i need your help to bring the wiki back up to speed. if we get the wiki up to 2.15 standard by the time 2.2 comes out, it will be very easy to fix the wiki for 2.2.
again, i need help. i know Greystar was working some, but we need more help than that.
as always, i want to hear your thoughts, and i would really love your help and support on this
-
we actually want to finish art assets first(including voicelines too I think), then coding(kinda in sync at the moment with art assets), then ingame texts, then the manual and only after that the outside sources.
Don't worry, it will be done. It is just absolutely not a priority at the moment.
And 2.15 and 2.2 will be less alike than 1.3 and 2.0 were. and that was a HUGE jump.
-
I've been busy at home with other games and friends, and busy trying to use my free time at school to complete a lot of personal projects I haven't taken the time for. In addition I have a lot of games at home making me less wanting to play ICW to try and make progress on this games. Lastly with 2.2 coming out in Febuary (I know it could be pushed back) I'm not even feeling like completeting my barely begun Final Imperial Push CG.

It wouldn't be possible to get this moved to Feature Discussions and feedback (or strategy if you feel that's more apporiate) for ICW and maybe stickied, would it?
-
with the units, we can still get those in there, which will help. also, stuff like the Imperial Remnant, Pentastar Alignment, New Republic, and Empire of The Hand won't be changing all that much. the basis for New Republic and Pentastar Alignment can start being fixed right now in fact. still, must of the units still need articles in there, and it would be helpful if the current GCs were done as well. I'm NOT asking the team to do this, this is an undertaking the COMMUNITY should be doing to HELP and SUPPORT the team.
also, Greystar: Demo is coming out in February, but who knows when this year 2.2 is actually done, not just when the demo or beta(if the team does one) done. also, since i assumed Family/Life got in the way, i was reaching to the community for help, as we cannot do this alone.

i'm a goof, so i missed it. this is another reminder that we need help
-
i started another one anyway. looked in the wrong place
-
You yourself said you didn't play the game. I would prefer to use my own thread as I can control what I decide needs to be improved by putting in the OP.
-
I thought the demo was released but 2.2 was slated for February, must've not paid enough attention to the post. Silly me.
Hey there's no way you could edit the wiki's HTML so that the banner actually sends people to the New Republic page?
-
idk, to date I have edited 1 article, but have spent a lot of time researching the mod and watching YouTube videos of it. I know a lot, and I know that, other than the IR, the wiki is sorely lacking.
-
whatever. I missed yours, looked at the wiki, saw it needed a lot of work, and asked the community to help. while it is very similar, like I stated, I missed yours, thus, since I wanted it addressed, I started a thread to do that
-
team: if there is any way to merge this with Greystar's topic, please do
-
Fix the ****ing site navigation bar so it says New Republic and not New Rebublic and goes to a broken redirect.
Done
-
You are a god send Revanchrist.
-
I have my moments. Few and far between but they're there. I'll be doing a little bit of QOL improvements as I get around to it, but with classes and work starting back up I am not sure how much I'll be able to do.
-
A-wing article has been edited to mention secondary role as light bomber.
In addition, a request as one of the wiki's admins to anyone contributing: please keep the writing style as professional as possible. Now I know that certain things will happen: a non-capitalized sentence here, a typo there, etc. Trust me, after a year of working on this wiki using only an iPhone 4 I of all people know that it happens. However, I had to clean up an article that used the word "whatnot" in it. That is a very informal stylistic choice and really not acceptable. There are other articles I am coming across that need a major rework due to the writing style, so I will be addressing those (hopefully) soon.
-
sorry. that was probably me. i was tired. just for clarity, was it the Imperial Remnant article?
-

Yes it was. No worries, it was an easy fix, and I am glad the 2.2 additional info was added.
Out of curiosity is there any particular reason you don't have an account? It would be super helpful, especially as I am considering restricting the editing of certain important pages to Users Only.
-
haven't made one. i have only edited 2-3 articles, so i wasn't worried. the account will be made when i actually spend more time editing. i'm just doing a little here and there right now
-
Thanks for the A-Wing update, finished up the X-Wing page. Should the history be rewritten to be more expansive and should we get rid of the part mentioning why you should not use Corran Horn and Luke in space?
-
alright, have account. you may continue
-

Expanding history can always be done as a second pass later on. As for the Corran/Luke part, gat can be mentioned in their articles once we get there, so I think we can get rid of it.
-
I should get in on this for heroes with my expansive lore knowledge
-
thank you. we need all the help we can get. we are trying to get the wiki at least to contain all of 2.1 and what we know of 2.2 before said 2.2 comes out
-
by the way, can someone update the Imperial Civil War page to contain all the rest of the new stuff? i don't have time to do it all
-
I don't really care about the 2.2 stuff until it comes out. I'm just focused on writing out the NR's faction and their gameplay. While the 2.2 notes are nice, they will end up removed anyhow.
-
why remove it? what's wrong with including the notes containing 2.2 material
-
They'll be removed and the Era decripistions will instead be 2.2 stuff instead of 2.1 stuff.
-

the stuff you know about the 2.2 content might be wrong or change by the time of the full release, and might become inaccurate. It might also make people look for a content that does not exist
-
Shouldn't we delete the redundant X-Wing page we have?

Also I was looking at the page on the B-wing at it says that the IR counterpart is the TIE Defender. This was true in vanilla FoC, but could not be farther from the truth in the case of ICW. If anyone wants to correct that at the moment that's great (away from a computer atm). If not, I will be bringing it up to standards this week hopefully.
-
In terms of weaponry and design the TIE Defender and B-Wing are the same in terms of concepts, just the Defender is better in every regard.

Weaponry is about all they got going for them. They were designed for completely different roles. The B-wing was meant to be a replacement for the Y-wing, a bomber which could also pass as a heavy fighter in a pinch. The Defender was meant to be the pinnacle of fighters: fast, maneuverable, and just better at everything fighters could do, with some ordnance tacked on for good measure.

while the merger of posts is fine, we need to make sure all the links lead to the right tabs. i clicked the X-Wing link, and it lead me to the extraneous page, which, not knowing it at the time, i proceded to edit. i'm just saying, i don't want to make that mistake again, or have someone else do likewise

The page should be gone gone now. If you find it again let me know and I'll hit it over the head with the Delete Bat again.
-
Since Monday - Wesndsy - Friday are the days I have 2.5 hours to myself, I'll try working on the NR page and making sure all the links work, and everything links back apporiatley.
-
good. i don't want to make that mistake and get yelled at again
-
so, been editing the Venator page. just useful strategy and putting in links. but i realized that there are no GC pages on the Wiki. could we fix that in the 3-6ish(i'm guessing) months we have before ICW 2.2 comes out?

Pages could be made, but considering we don't know much about the GCs there would be little information in them.
-
i meant the 2.1 GCs. not the 2.2 ones for the very reason you just put
-

GCs that will exist in both versions I'll make. Lets hold off on Eras 4/5 until we know which ones are staying/going.
-
i would have started the 2.1 GCs, but i have no pictures or the names and allegiences of planets and starting forces above them(last part maybe not necessary, but i wanted to include it in the GCs pages)
-
again, just posting here again asking for help with the wiki, especially pictures for some of the new units, as well as expanding on info for the Warlords in the demo
-
Sorry for overall dying on the wiki, I just couldn't bring myself to further improve it, sorry.
Not the best place to put this but not sure where else, but recent edits were by an anon who made all the factions into spam pages. Those edits were reversed, but someone might want to hand out an IP ban. Specifically this guy. http://thrawnsrevenge.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/67.6.20.53
-
yeah, that was annoying when i saw it. can we sometime slowly restart work?
-
Totally we can. I'll try to take care of the spam issue as well when I'm able.
-
I already blocked the IP, which I think is the button for IP bans on wikia.
-
Nice. when the Manual comes out after 2.2 is released, it will be a great help
