Author Topic: Whatever happened to the Blockland/RTB Wiki?  (Read 1242 times)

I know there used to be one, but was it deleted for it not being edited much and being ruined on some pages?

Anyway, Paladin Zack was saying how there should be a Wiki for Blockland and he came across this Blockland Wiki from 2009, it's barely got anything on it and that MetalMario guy hasn't done anything since 2009, so it's pretty abandoned

I feel too disturbed by how there is no design to it, just the default Wikia design and there's barely any content, i know that it's because no one's worked on it since it was created

But i can work better if there's already stuff there, like the Team Fortress, Left 4 Dead, and Half Life wikis, i may contribute to it, but i'm not good at designs

I really don't want it to have the lame default Wikia look, it needs to look like the Blockland site and the Blockland Forums, i guess

Last I remember it was terrible and unnecessarily biased, but maybe I'm thinking of something else...

I know one used to exist, but it was deleted due to the majority of editing being vandalism. Paladin Zack was talking to me about how Blockland should have a Wiki again, and he came across one from 2009. It barely has anything on it, and MetalMario hasn't done anything there since that year. It's basically abandoned.

It disturbs me to see it only following the default Wikia design, having barely any content. I know it is because no one has worked on it since it was created, but it might work better if there is already something there to be edited, like on Team Fortress, Left 4 Dead, and Half-Life Wikis. I might contribute to it, but I'm not good at designing websites. I won't settle for it remaining default, however. It needs to look like the main Blockland site or forums, I suppose.

I'm editing some of the pages right now, I could use some tips on how to put pictures up and create new pages and stuff.

Also, can someone get a picture of the default Gun?


well dont use the wiki as an advertisement for a shooter, geez.

its a sandbox building game

You know it's simply to cover a default item included in the game, sir.

I'm editing right now as we speak.



Thanks a lot for the gun pics. Stuff the wiki desperately needs:

1: Articles with pictures on all default weapons.

2: Articles with pictures on default maps.

3: Someone who knows a lot about default events to edit the "Events" page.

4: Something about earlier Blockland versions?

For Skylands article, be sure to put a trivia saying "Badspot added this map to the default download of Blockland without Laremere's permission, although he was glad to see his content worth such an honor." I remember Laremere always gloating in servers about that.

We need a 'Cut' section.

Wow.

Hey, I see my mods.

It would be cool if Badspot took to making a pretty professional looking wiki for Blocklnad.

What is it about Blockland that we have so much trouble with this sort of thing? For years the community has had troubles with the wiki, with people vandalizing it and such. We've never really maintained a quality wiki, people keep messing with it.

I just rewrote most of the article. :)

Badspot already has split attention. Wikis are constantly vandalized, especially one for Blockland. He'd have his hands full managing one, and I believe he'd never take up such a responsibility while still having the current ones.
