Two new Wiki articles: War and Trials

[Scaredgirl]

We need two new articles to Wiki:

1. War
2. Trials

These articles will be similar to what you see in Wikipedia. They first briefly explain what these concepts are, then go to details, then explain a bit about history like previous winners etc. You'll get the idea.

Someone needs to start these topics and do a bit of the ground work. This naturally means you post something more than the title and "content coming soon..". There should be a good solid foundation when others later chip in and add more stuff to it.

I'd like these articles to be high quality, so if you think you are lacking English and/or writing skills, please don't start them. You don't have to be a professional writer, but being able to write simple understandable material is required.

So if there are any takers, just let me know, or just start the thing on your own. I can help with the layout if needed. Thanks.

I'll start when I get home from school.

Trials.

I'll do the same for War this evening.

I apologize, but something came up and I am no longer able Sorry.

I started the War one, with an overview of the rules. I'll add later more content, expanding the different parts of the War (Auction, Propaganda, Countdowns, etc.)

The main source of information is the Rules thread, but I'll try to gather slowly every useful information I can find on the numerous threads.

As the mechanics change between the War, I'll stick to "abstract" description of the different parts, showing their main purpose. If I understand correctly, the goal is to show "what is the War" to readers as clearly as possible, letting the minor details to the forums ?

I'll try to do the Trials article after the War one, unless someone is interested

I'll write it myself.

By the way, the number of articles is growing (and honestly some of them are low-quality). Could we divide the articles by groups so that it's easier to find what people want?

Yes, that's pretty much how it is. There's no need to list things like what deck Zeru used during round 4, but things like who won the event, and maybe why and how they won, would be interesting without going to too much detail.

Yeah, we should definitely categorize them better. Maybe just have a bunch of sub-categories and list them that way.

The War article (http://elementswiki.co.cc/articles/war/) is close to be finished. It needs some proof-reading, but most of the content is here.

I didn't write the Round Summary, because... I'm not very good at this I'll let it to anyone who will write a good analysis of the battles.

Looks like a very good start. Thanks.

You surprised me, SG... Thought we already had those articles.

Anyways Trials article, written myself, is up for more than a month now I think
