Updating in-game information in the wiki...

[onyhow]

I think that the game info on the wiki is a bit lacking for a long time, especially on the usable items...and it really seems bad when the unofficial Japanese wiki is outperforming official wiki here...

So...should we get some effort to properly update those information?

So why don't you get English translation of what you found and put in pastebin :
http://paste.neurohack.com

where those with the access can review it and consider for ground work for posting to the official information ?
Not everyone knows where to find the work of others unless they actively let everyone else know.

Ah...that can be a problem...I don't know Japanese...actually utilize the thing by extrapolating some bits of English texts and the effects that are found in the game (and online translator) so...

Ok, I was looking through their site and one thing I noticed, even though it was in Japanese, was that their organization was waaay better than the english wiki.
Everything that new players would need to find on Trans was there: the starting ships, their differences, Tinker custom work, and usables, etc.

The one thing I did not find were mods, but that's because modding is generally for the English community. However, if someone taught our Japanese fanbase how to make mods, I wonder what kind of mods they would make....

They even have all the missions on a single page D:
(I think they're missing the BM ones though)
I have half a mind to link to the official wiki so that they could work on that too.....

Looking through their wiki it seems we could use some reorganization the problem is do we start fresh and move content over or just rework the main page?

Dunno Ttech, we would need George's approval for a new wiki and someone really dedicated to updating the wiki

Another problem I see is that some of the information we got regarding item info is that the properties are being written in in-game code, which is not accessible to the non-modders (heck, I have problem understanding it too, especially on the Teraton factory page...)

Onyhow: if you would like, come onto IRC and I can get Gambit to get you a wiki account to you can edit it. How's that sound?

[RPC]

Also, we need to get the guys working on the Unofficial Japanese Wiki up to speed on modding and the official wiki....
Anybody know Japanese?

[onyhow]

OK...damnit Mibbit not supported...will try Freenode webchat now...

Update: Oh crap it the University proxy I'm using is banned...I'll try to access the IRC again after I got home...

I'm not saying a new wiki, i'm saying reorganization
