badger Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 It has come to my Attention that the Asylum Life Wiki is very unfinished. My suggestion is that you allow certain trusted veteran members of the community have access to edit and improve the wiki. Each new edit must be approved by a community manager, support member, or an admin. Allowing trusted members of the community edit and access the wiki would improve the quality of information and would also allow more volume of information to be access in an easier manner than digging through the guides page located in the forums. Another suggestion would be that you create a forum page that would allow any users to submit information and written guides to be added to the wiki. This information would follow a strict format and all guides submitted by basic users would not only required to be checked by admins but also by the trusted members to insure only quality information reaches the wiki. A proposed suggested format for submitting could be something similar to what is written down below. Also include a disclaimer that these are only a suggested format for the basic principal lay out for the wiki and that additional subheading can be added as needed due to the variation in difficulty in different activities around the island.

Getting aid from community members on simple things only helps increase admins ability to do real administrative tasks. Link to comment

I'll ask Paratus/Bamf what they want to do with it. I was aware that they no longer have access to edit/change anything with the forums and are currently in the process of reobtaining or rehosting it somewhere else. Link to comment

Gen. Henry Arnold Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) @patato12 and I have been working on the wiki for few months updating guides and other sections. The wiki was managed by Will and he as of now is retired staff and asked us to cease updating it. We have receive help from @Midamaru and @Mayhem as well. We asked about it awhile ago, here is the original thread: Edited July 13, 2017 by Gen. Henry Arnold Link to comment

The wiki gets occasional updates such as game rules, staff lists, APD changes. The last edit was made July 9th, we still have the ability to edit it. Link to comment

I agree, we were told to avoid the crafting guides (potential reworks?) and then we were told to cease updating, I hope we can get it back up and running and definitely can use more community help like yours Link to comment

Just saying. yes we all know it just needs to be updated a bit, better cartel locations, old prison back, maybe add a few extra features anything that will mix things up a bit! main thing is to find more trusted members who know how to add these things as theres too many jobs for the admins Link to comment

I submitted a few things and they never got approved so until a viable mean of getting changes approved is made were dead in the water sadly. Link to comment
Leady Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Will gave me a bunch of access over there before he left, i'll go take a look and see what I can update easily. badger likes this Link to comment
