Q- Is anyone taking lead on the wiki ?
-
Problem - There are some in game basics that may elude the casual gamer(the permanent noobs -myself included) that backed the kickstarter.
Proposal - To get the wiki to have relevant content for players even at this stage. We would try to find a way to be as inclusive as possible.
Solution- While we locate bugs to help the dev team fix in game issues we also need a solid wiki+youtube/twitch tutorial channel to keep strong support for all users.
-
I have been attempting to populate the wiki (pretty much solely) with current information over the last few days. It is a rather large project, especially given the sheer amount of emptiness that is the current state of the wiki :P. Just recently (as of about 10 minutes) finished this little page up: http://eco.gamepedia.com/FAQ. Please keep in mind, I can only go off of my own experiences and revelations so far. Any feedback / extra information to add or modify would be greatly appreciated.

Hey @dannypent , saw your FAQ page and decided to touch it up a little bit. If you don't like it, revert it (I just thought I'd give it a stab) - if you do, drop me a message. I don't mind helping out with other areas :)
-
Hey @DNLinkman: Thanks for the help! Just too a look at the page and don't actually see any revisions =o
Edit: visible now
-
Sorry one second, still editing haha but while you're there, copy the page just incase you don't like the revisions. It'll be done in 2 mins
-
Try now :)
EDIT: I did actually leave a note there for you because I wasn't sure how to do it myself, see if you can find it :P
-
Yeah I saw with the spoiler suggestion :P
Also I noticed we have had different I suppose conclusions as to why this happens: I am trying to make a building and it says it is not my construction site. BUT IT IS?
-
Uhm, well if you feel it is different - then change it to your suggestion and I will leave it alone. As far as I was aware - that was the main cause as to why that happens so I altered it but you put all the work and time in to the Wiki so keep it as yours. :P
EDIT: Just added lots of things to help out ^^; Sometimes I get carried away heh..
EDIT2: So uhm, what do you think? :P
-
i forwarded this question above to john
-
Haha @DNLinkman: doesn't mean mine is right ;) just based off of testing and experience I have done. There are most likely multiple ways for this error to occur :P. I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP GREATLY
-
Haha no worries @dannypent - You have a Teamspeak account? I'm online atm and wouldn't mind helping out on other pages on the Wiki too :)
EDIT: Bug on the Wiki often causes page to show up blank on editing mode? Have to attempt about 10 times for it to show? Why is this?
-
I do have Teamspeak, but am currently working on a few reports for school (gotta love finals time). I'm on and off looking at things at the moment. As for the wiki editing mode issue, you can click the Edit option to open the visual composer and than simply hit the refresh button. This has typically allowed me to start editing in only 2 tries :P
-
I've also noticed occasionally (for some reason) viewing the history and then clicking edit allows me to edit without fail. So I've just been doing that xD - Btw, you should edit a FAQ link on the left side tab (would do it myself but not as familiar with Wiki).
-
Sadly not able to do that myself (requires a Wiki Administrator). I've been in a form of contact with John and Jeff through a friend in an attempt to get the FAQ added to the main page or to get access to do this myself.
-
Ah right, that makes sense. Fair enough, I'll try view some of the other pages and see if I can help on those too :)
-
Hey all, yes that would be really awesome if you all want to take charge and start filling out the wiki, the FAQ looks great so far. Jeff is going to manage permissions for it, I will ping him and see about getting access for everyone.
-
Unofficial thing @JohnK but is something that started recently: http://ecoforum.strangeloopgames.com/topic/312/eco-global-survival-wiki-volunteer-team
-
Thanks @JohnK, both Danny and I have been working on it all day. We've now set up a Trello and Teamspeak Staff Team. More information here.
EDIT: Danny and I posted the same thing at the same time haha.
-
@dannypent You probably have this bug: http://ecoforum.strangeloopgames.com/topic/117/client-bug-building-bug/2. Just restart your server and it'll fix it.
-
Hmm @sunflower4666? I wrote one of the ways to resolve that issue :P
