Community Elite: Dangerous Wiki thread

SpyTec · Jun 10, 2015

Hi there!

I'm one of the most active contributors and one of the admins over at the fan-based Elite: Dangerous wiki. We're one of the most popular fan-based sites out there and since Powerplay released we've increased in articles, gotten a bot and have plans on making things easier and better for the players. We have over 700 articles about things related to the game and we plan on increasing that number as time goes on.

This thread is created to discuss anything related to the wiki, whether it be incorrect data, bad structure, criticism of the admins or other issues or suggestions! Reason for creating a thread here is not only to raise awareness, but to get feedback or questions for those who doesn't quite understand how Wikia works or just doesn't feel like doing anything over there.

The Wikia staff has a unique opportunity to visit the developers for a community Q&A. Anyone wanting to ask questions that might be asked and answered by the developers can be asked here.

Remember to keep it civil! And if you can, register an account to make it easier for the Wikia staff to ask the questions

As I've now seen threads reporting that the power-specific modules are now up and available to purchase, I'd love for people to improve the wiki articles surrounding them. Namely providing description (on the description tab), table of information including classes and use-cases. Feel free to use other weapon articles as a guidelines, e.g. Plasma Accelerator

We've expanded to even more frontiers! Not only are we available here on the forums, (for rare occasions where people want to discuss something) we are also on twitter at @EliteWiki and on reddit at /r/EliteWiki. I have hopes people who aren't familiar with Wikia to message us there to update articles, informing us or just asking a game related or wiki related topic!

But that's not all, we have also been busy informing people about creating their own Player group articles, as some groups have already done, such as Emperor's Grace and Cosmic State. But more are to come the following weeks, especially if you or someone you know wants to add to your groups article (just need to follow our policies)

On top of that, to make it easier to navigate I'm looking into making more navboxes. We have one for ships at the moment:

And we plan on doing even more for different station types, faction-specific modules and other articles. Any suggestions are welcome on this part.

Have any suggestions on what to improve?
