Shortly after, it somehow turned into an ill conceived, half-baked idea of doing "yet another database" wiki--after that idea bounced around in public, people pointed how unnecessary it was, so the idea morphed into some sort unwieldy amalgamation of "wiki for each sub-forum", "wiki-fy stickies", and other miscellaneous little ideas.
All that, without access rights for people--basically, taking the tools of wiki and ignore its ideal of "let everyone work on it to improve its quality."
The first generation of wiki attempt was doomed from the start by its ignorance of what makes wikis work and its shifting, ill defined goals. Let's hope the next generation of wiki leaders are a bit less blind. |
The access for people was going to be opened to all people once the stickies were all reformatted, this was Pings idea. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 04-13-2008, 09:53 PM | #18 (permalink) | | FFXIWiki'er FFXIWiki Team Join Date: May 2006 Location: Windurst Posts: 3,857 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood:  Thanks: 134
Thanked 997x in 542 Posts Gil: 12,663 Bank: 35,811 Total Gil: 48,474 Donate | Re: FFXIWiki Disscusion Thread To my knowledge, our goal has still been to format the guides from this site - highlighting our users and their comprehensive guides, rather than the mostly incomplete guides you find on FFXIclopedia, which are hardly fit to be placed on GameFAQs, if that.
FFXIclopedia is a nice database, BGWiki tried to ape what they felt they lost from that. Guides are a speciality of neither. Our goal is still different as far as I know. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 04-14-2008, 06:07 AM | #19 (permalink) | | Veteran Member Brain of Knowledge Join Date: Jan 2004 Posts: 1,937 Style: Dark - Version 5 Thanks: 9

oh so you are trying to do something like a guide wiki, instead of a database wiki like FFXIwiki? Gaming at its best, the good old 8-bit days  | | | ::Quote Selected:: | |
