Yes, it's back online for those of you who missed it. It's been open to the public for a couple of weeks now, although we haven't announced it.
New and improved main page...
http://wiki.returntoblockland.com/index.php?title=Main_PageThe most important features are organized into tabs now for fast access.
Fancy new article wizards...
http://wiki.returntoblockland.com/index.php?title=New_Article_WizardNow all you need to do to make an article is answer a few questions and type in a name.
Of course, that's basically what it was like before, but it wasn't nearly as user friendly. There is also a step by step guide for creating
Event Guides. For people who are new to the article creation process, posting your own contraption guides is a great way to get into it.
Powerful templates to make writing tutorials easier than ever before...
http://wiki.returntoblockland.com/index.php?title=Funky_JeepThat properties GUI is actually some table magic in CSS, you can turn on/off check marks, fill in light and brick names and embed it right into an article. It makes it super easy to tell people how to configure a brick. There's currently one for vehicles and one for general bricks, the sound one is going to come out pretty soon.
http://wiki.returntoblockland.com/index.php?title=1_Minute_TimerThere's also some pretty event tables. This article demonstrates multiple bricks with different events.
Interested in helping?
Wiki accounts are tied to RTB accounts. You'll need to register on the forums in order to edit the website. However, we haven't gone live yet, wiki accounts still need to be hand approved. If you've got an existing tutorial you'd like to upload and format for the wiki or if you're interested in writing some brand new ones, you'll need to apply in
this thread or PM me on the RTB forums.
The reason for this is because we're in the pretty early stages of establishing the wiki. We don't quite feel that we're ready to let just everyone edit. You'll also get access to the private forums we use to organize projects.
Don't feel like registering for RTB or writing articles?
Don't worry! You don't have to be an editor to help out. Check out some of the pages and comment on them, particularly the templates and tutorials. If you see anything that can be improved, post about them in this thread!
If you've already written a tutorial, you can send the text to someone else to format and upload to the wiki.
