    Hello everybody, people that I know tell me that they don't know much about the Wiki. So I thought about creating a thread explaining what is our job.

    First of all:

    What do we do on the Wiki Team ?

    image.jpg

    Editing: this consist of quite literally, editing the Wiki. Changing the content of the pages, creating index descriptions, adding pictures, stats...

    Formatting: Believe it or not, there is a lot of it to do. This consists of redoing pages and making them more appealing to the eye than they were originally. So that when you look at the Wiki, you don't see something ugly.

    Discussion: This is the part when we, the wiki team discuss with the staff on what should be done for the Wiki.

    Nothing: Waiting for a staff reply or just doing nothing in the off topic Wiki conversation doing whatever.

    What are the different stages of creating a page ?

    There are 3 stages:

    image.jpg

    1 st step: We propose to the staff what should added in which section
    2 nd step: The staff approve our idea or make changes to the page.
    3 rd step: The staff have created the page, we can start editing !

    Different roles / Quotes of the Wiki Team Members:

    " I mainly write/edit war. I go over pages and iron out annoying grammatical, spelling, and general logical failures. I generally find 5-6 errors per page, except in the crappy drama that is the WarZ wiki "
    -
    Phanta

    " Well, I edit MineStrike, SG, War and WarZ."
    - MessageForHelp

    " I do lots of the dirty work, and most of the formatting. And I do input stats and stuff like that."
    -
    RyGuy

    " I mainly edit the PvP Survival section and make the Wiki look neat and tidy."
    - The Sinister One

    Hope this helped you understand more on what we're doing ! And if you come across a mistake, please let us know !​

    I would consider it to be an off-topic chat.

    This is my first official post back.

    Tea, you've always been good at posting informational posts. This helps newer users to understand a process and I think you did a great job. I would like it, but you know, I have a thing.

    Haha. I'll definitely give it a ponder. I'm actually looking to eventually re-apply, maybe.

    Ohgosh.
    What I said looks so generic :v

    Anyway, I wanted to note that I have to rework the wiki for MineStrike weapons, due to raw data values.

    Great thread @teawithchoco! I've always wondered what the wiki team does, and now everybody can know, I think that this will help future wiki team applicants, learn what their job would be like.
