In regards of the Game Mechanics, is this (http://elementscommunity.org/wiki/basics/rules-of-the-game/) the article? Personally, I would separate the game rules and the game mechanics. Also, I think this thread (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,11691.0.html) by smuglapse is a great start on how the Game Mechanics article should be, though it is a bit out dated and some info can be replace by a simple lick such as the creatures' skills/abilities. Any thoughts/suggestions?
-
I agree that Rules of the game and Game Mechanincs should be separated.
The first one should be a description of the basic concepts of the game (as in the Level 0 tutorial), and the second one a full and detailed explanation of "how the game works".
We can start from Smuglapse's thread as a working basis ; links are a great and simple idea. I'll finish the Deck project before moving to another one. If you want to start the Game Mechanics page, go ahead :)
-
Yes, I was thinking to start an article for the Game Mechanics, but I'm not that good in writing and the scope is quite big (unless copy-pasting the thread can be considered a good article). So, I think I will gather the information first and try to figure out how to organize them - any thoughts on what should be first, second, etc?
-
Now that T50 disappeared, lots of information have to be updated. Feel free to edit the articles.
Moreover, we're still working on the deck articles... but many of them aren't worth the effort. I'll start (soon or not) a new clean-up project... with a greater focus on adding actually good decks.

I hope I haven't been annoying anyone, but I've been trying to clean up typos and stuff in the wiki articles I use.
For example in the RoL Hope deck page for AI5 grinding page I fixed the typo by paradox for creature control from 8 rewinds to 10 Twin Universe... cause that is what it is supposed to be.
Is this ok? And if it isnt bothering anyone can I continue to edit stuff like that?

The Wiki is a community effort, so anyone can make edits. As long as the edits made are factually correct, go ahead and make them :)

I'm gonna throw out an idea here: Categorize the Decks on the Wiki to match how they're categorized on the forums.
If you're assuming that players use the forums to look up decks rather than the Wiki then that's fine, but now it's easier for me to see how a person who was first introduced to the Wiki can make the mistake of posting a deck with 4 Elements in the Rainbow section here.

Excellent idea, added to the list.
I updated the main post, removed some useless drafts on the Wiki.
-
Version 1.30 + 1.31 content is not update onto the wiki.
-
I'm setting up a new Wiki. In the meantime, I would recommend against updating the old one.
-
The "wiki" link on elementsthegame.com needs to be changed to go to the new wiki; right now it just leads to a blank page.
-
The Elements community doesn't have control over the links on elementsthegame.com. Zanzarino would have to change it.
