The Wiki
« on: September 25, 2011, 07:58:07 am »
OK, I'm absolutely disgruntled.
Back in that old thread, Aero started a poll to see people's opinions on the wiki. Of the 11 people who voted, 9 of them were in favour of creating the wiki.
After that, I started to recruit some people to help me with it, to ensure that it wouldn't go unsupported.
However, it turned out to be a complete disaster.
Of the 3 people who agreed to help me, two disappeared after making a few edits, and the other was so limited in ability (only grammar fixes, and nothing else). Aero didn't help much. I was alone.
It's so ironic that almost everyone was in favour, yet no one helped me after that. I can't endure this anymore.
Yesterday I contacted the Wikia staff, and they said that closing a wiki is completely possible.
So, if any of you want it to remain, go there and contribute. Otherwise, I'll have to contact the Wikia staff again.

Along the shore the cloud waves break,
The twin suns sink behind the lake,
The shadows lengthen
In Carcosa.

Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies,
But stranger still is
Lost Carcosa.

Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Must die unheard in
Dim Carcosa.

Song of my soul, my voice is dead,
Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
Shall dry and die in
Lost Carcosa.

If you know something is wrong, correct it. If you think you could word something better, write it. If an article has a glaring deficiency, fill it. Even if your first attempt isn't golden, you can fix it later or someone else will come along and fix it for you. Don't be afraid to screw up.

Site is pretty inactive at the moment so I'll extend the deadline to a week after 1.6d's release.

There's no point to delete the Wiki. It's just better to be there even if it's not active.

No. I'll still delete it if it does not receive enough support (yes, proper support, not crappy support like what Skasian did recently).
After I close it, you're free to make a new one, but I won't contribute. I'll only be there to see how miserably it fails.

Aha. Well let's hope then people will actually contribute.

I wonder if we were a little too hasty with it. Only 7 chapters yet and I haven't released the Book System yet(tells a lot about background and stuff).

By the way, which is better: Chimto's item thread in here or items in Wiki? Which is better way to find more information?

Yes, you haven't finished the campaign yet, but there are still plenty of stuff to add.

Obviously my thread, because the wiki page is incomplete.

If things won't go well and no support is given I suggest this:

Instead of shutting the site completely, why don't you give all the passwords and other things for me? Like I could be the master of the site? Then you're like "relieved" from the Wiki then you don't need to care about it at all and you can laugh to my pathetic try to improve it. It's better to continue with something than start from the beginning.

You are already an admin (and bureaucrat) there, and both of us have the same rights.
I'm also against this idea. If you can't improve the currently-useless thing well enough, then it's better to close it, rather than leaving it there without a purpose.

I think you should totally leave it there. If the game takes off people will post on it naturally.

It was the first place I visited before coming to the forums. I also posted there before posting on the forums as well.

No. I'm sick of how people just try to persuade me not to close it by telling me that 'people will eventually come and edit' and stuff. While in reality, almost no one helped me.

Just don't understand why you can't just leave it there.

As is just forget about it existing and if someone is a huge fan they will go edit it themselves. If you're sick of it just abandon it. What good does deleting it do?

Because nobody needs it currently, so I don't think I need to keep it. If somebody else needs it later, he/she can create another wiki him/herself.
