a summary:
- organize the articles in a clear manner
this will make things easier to find and browse through, and will make obvious what articles are missing or could be added
- standardize article features
right now when an article link is clicked, even if the article has a lot of content, you can't really expect anything about the sort of information will be present, how it'll be organized, or how well-connected by links it'll be to other articles, etc.
developing or sharpening and then implementing standards for various sorts of articles (eg setups, roles) will markedly improve the wiki
if you do both of these then everything left to do is creative
actually producing articles that fill informational holes in the wiki
i believe more of an emphasis should be placed on connecting/basing articles on "researched forum history" or something than on the writer's intuition, but meh- Psyche

It's probably not worth it. Anyone new coming to the wiki is going to pass through www.mafiascum.net.- Psyche

Also, here's an idea.
There are apparently stable templates around of someone of the best Scummer wikis around (like UN's). If you made some page working as a guide to making your own wiki (which there is a lot of general interest in doing) which points to one of those templates, the world would be a clearly better place.- Psyche

If you mean by searching ratio of roles it would have to be done by adding that info to all the pages.
Maybe I could make a tag template to do this?
couldn't you just have another set of categories- Psyche

so it would be sort of trivial for me to generate for every scummer without a wiki page (and some volunteers with one) who has played a game in the last, say, 5 years theirowngeneric wiki page
these would include profile information such as their join date, title and location, maybe
but most importantly it'll also include a well-formatted table of their game history as recorded in the game archives, providing a clearer picture of their place on this site than, say, a page that is just nothing
is this worth doing?
if so, might anyone offer any help with choosing a format for these game histories that looks okay for short and long lists of games, alike?- Psyche

just leave them alone?In post 461, Mathdino wrote:
This, but with "Beginner's Guides to Mafia".
There are at least 6 or 7 articles ostensibly written as a guide to newbies, but the combined amount of content is insane, and the wiki doesn't appear to particularly endorse any of them. Seeing as the only way to really find them is to be searching through the wiki yourself, I don't think many newbies read these guides or get much out of them until they're skilled enough that they no longer need the guides.
Besides, ICs basically repost their own guides in every newbie game anyway.
How do we resolve the 15 competing standards? - Psyche
