Project Name: The Chaos Dwarf Wiki Project
Project Leaders: Xander, Cornixt, Ellimist
Project Goal: To collect, organize and prepare all information regarding Chaos Dwarfs in a readable and usable format using the Media Wiki software.
Xander's Notes
The Wiki is one of our most important tools. It allows for easy collaboration and contribution from any and everyone. At this stage we are trying to get as much content as we can, but quality of content is also very important. We must try not to go beyond the scope of Chaos Dwarfs and instead only focus on information that directly relates to the Dawi Zharr.
We must also try to uphold quality standards that include page construction and citations. When all is said and done, all information on the Wiki should be cited with proper page references to the books the information comes from. One such example page is Grudge Bearer.
Another note is to check the Code Reference section for how to include pictures and other things. Thanks for your help!
Cornixt's Notes:
If you want to help out with the Wiki, one of the most important things is content. There is a list of pages that are linked to but have no content here: http://www.chaos-dwarfs.com/wiki/index...antedpages
If you look at it there are quite a few obvious ones with no content. Grab what you can from other sites like wikipedia. If it needs reformatting then say so in the summary box at the bottom of the edit page and either myself or one of the other more experienced Wiki editors will do it for you.
Ellimist's Notes!
In the interests of furthering the updating of the Wki, I'm creating this thread. I've noticed that there are a number of articles that are lacking very basic info (or are just stubs) on certain important topics. If you feel that any page is in need of attention, post it here and state your concerns. I'll add the pages in need of attention to this initial post, and remove them when they're corrected to a satisfactory degree.
General Observations
- There are a number of dead-end pages (pages that link to nothing) and pages that are not linked to from any other article. There are easy two ways to solve the first problem. The first is simply to add links to other articles in the body of the article using Wiki tags. The second is to add a "Relevant Links" section to the end of the article and post the links there.
To find out if a page is linked to by another article, click the "what links here" option on the sidebar. If nothing is found, find a page that would probably link to the page you're editing, and add a link there.
- A number of pages could use some images. Plain text pages just aren't as interesting.
-Certain pages are copy-paste verbatim from other pages. While this probably isn't a problem with Wikipedia pages, be aware of copyright. Also, please bother to get rid of things such as the edit tags, article titles etc. when copying, and reformat properly for the Wiki page.
-Several pages are stubs, or don't contain Accurate/Relevant/Clear/Current information. Simply add to these pages with better information! Also, mind your spelling & grammar. If you're unsure, run it through a spell check in Word first.
- When creating links, check that the page you link to exists. If it doesn't, try to write up something for the new page, even if it's a small amount. Just post in here afterwards to request further information for that article.
-Check that a page doesn't already exist covering the same information as a new article you create (a good example is "Orcs&Goblins" and "Orcs and Goblins"). If you do find pages that cover the same information, combine the information of the two,and redirect one page to the other.
I think that covers most of this, Hashut bless your endeavours!
