spawn9859 has been appointed "Wiki Editor"

[Scaredgirl]

spawn9859 hasn't had time to be active on the forums yet but he sure has been active on the new Wiki. spawn9859 moved all the deck ideas from the current Wiki to the new one which was no small task.

More importantly his enthusiasm gave me a good motivation boost which is always welcome as doing things solo gets boring really fast. Thank you for that.

spawn9859 is hereby appointed "Wiki Editor" and will continue to work on the new Wiki.

Congratulations.

Here are some features the new Wiki already has:

Moved decks by spawn9859: http://elementswiki.co.cc/decks/
Rare Card Farms (that anyone can update): http://elementswiki.co.cc/resources/rare-card-farm/
Beginners PvP League: http://elementswiki.co.cc/pvp/beginners-league/
Championship PvP League: http://elementswiki.co.cc/pvp/championship-league/

More stuff coming later.

If you want to become a "Wiki Editor", PM me (Scaredgirl) and tell be why you would be great for the job. I have to warn you though.. it's more than just a cool title. You will have to do some actual work too.

Aww, my title isn't unique anymore?
[/joke]

Glad to hear this. At least there are more people working on things right now.

PS: Don't call me "lazy", SG. Last time on chat I asked you if I needed to do anything, and you said I don't need to do anything at the moment. So should I be doing anything with the wiki right now? Spawn did all that work and I feel that I'm slacking off. Don't get me wrong, last time you told me to not do anything yet.

Spawn didn't do "all the work". It was just the beginning.

We still need:

- Card images (samples for all elements almost ready, pictures have been uploaded)
- Decks from this forum
- Tutorials from both the forum and current Wiki
- "How to use the Wiki" tutorials
etc.

This is why we probably need the 3rd "Wiki Editor".

If you want to do something, you can start by adding the Darkness cards. Although I probably should write a tutorial first since it involves a couple of tricks you might not know unless you've worked with Wordpress before.

I confirm that I have not used Wordpress before. It'll help if you teach me how to do the things and make my life easier.

Does this mean we'll be seeing a more uniform layout, deck images and a pruning of decks that are pointless/outdated/copies of existing ones?

SG said we'll be moving ALL of the decks from the old wiki to the new one, including the useless n00b decks. She said we'll have a rating system that determines what the best decks are.

Well if you guys are moving all the stuff from the old wiki and the forum and you want it organized in any way just tell me what you want and how you want it I enjoy data manipulation so I'll get it done pretty quickly provided I don't have too much other work to do.

[Bloodshadow]

If anyone else has the interest and time to move the decks, then by all means do it. I'll admit that it's not my favorite job in the world. I enjoy deleting spam and banning n00bs much more than that

I'll do the tutorial this weekend. The basic usage of Wordpress is very easy and doesn't even really need a tutorial but this card project does as there are a couple of tricks that need to be done.

STAGE 1 - Move everything to new Wiki
STAGE 2 - Gradually remove all the crap (ratings and common sense help here)
STAGE 3 - Make everything look good

I'm planning on doing this deck idea template that people can use when they post deck ideas. It could be a form or something that you fill in which enables uniform layout.

Thanks but I think the two biggest projects, deck ideas and cards are already taken care off. Other stuff on the current Wiki is mostly outdated or just plain old bad information. The stuff that needs to be salvaged, can easily be done with a simple copy-paste.

If you want to do some cool data manipulation, I'm sure you'll get a chance for that at some point as we add new content and features.

That doesn't sound too good to be honest.

Being a Wiki Editor is not about "banning n00bs". In fact you cannot even do that. The job is more about "boring" stuff like helping the community by adding content. If it's not your "favorite job", then you might have a wrong job. It's definitely not for people who only want to do fun stuff.

I said it's not my "favorite job", but I didn't say I'm unwilling to do it. I chose to become Wiki Editor for a reason, and that's to help out with the Wiki.

ok if there are any projects either for the wiki or the forum feel free to send them to me i love helping and doing stuff to help the community will be a lot more fun than some other things I can think of.

I JUST now saw this thread.. Anyway, I'll get to work on the fire cards ASAP. And thanks Scared, I enjoy helping any way I can
