Ok, you should however take people returning with a pinch of salt.

Many want to return, and promise activity, but are unable to make a comeback in the end. It's something I've seen lots of times before, and I bet I'm not alone.

Out of boredom, i've done up the Damage Block page, and have an important question: What do we do about the divergent prd values? When writing it i just used the given values of 70% for vanguard, etc. although the real values in prd are significantly lower. Should we include a note and do the calculation using those values instead?

antiweltteilchen · 10-19-2009, 11:03 AM

imo just use the non prd values and link to Adra's PRD guide or right another page for PRD in the wiki.

starfighter9 · 10-19-2009, 11:07 AM

Yeah, i used the non-prd values, also included a link to the wiki prd page (it's not yet done though).

I am really happy that we will have a Wiki. However, you guys, please make sure to back up it frequently so that even if it collapses in a rainy day, we will still have something to use. I am pretty confident that everyone still remembers about the painful dead wiki in D-A.com

IceFrog · 10-22-2009, 03:39 PM

The entire site gets full backups to multiple locations 1-2 times per week, so I wouldn't worry much about that.

Phoenix · 10-26-2009, 05:07 PM

I dunno if this feature is already available but can we make the 'printable version' include images?

ADD: Also, as few pointed out, giving detailed description of skills might be useful.

SNOW37 · 11-04-2009, 06:53 PM

just did like 10 pages put of boredom and the joy of sharing knowledge.
Also looks like I'm one of maybe 3 people who are writing stuff.

nix · 11-09-2009, 11:53 PM

I'll be working on the wiki a lot in the coming week. Just gotta get past a few school assignments.

mr.ioes · 03-03-2010, 03:35 PM

one should make draft pages for all potential writers. like category:items gives some links, bot none for the items themself, like fury, linkens, etc.

wiki would be great if it has all the in-depth information/combination possibilities/etc from advanced mechanics forum, but to me it looks like a dead concept. sadly!

€: just make a competition with prizes and and it will become usefull (maybe) ^^

SNOW37 · 03-03-2010, 04:23 PM

most of the info has been added. The only thing it really lacks right now is in depth detail of each hero and item. I would do that except I don't know how to create new pages, only edit premade ones...

Robzor · 03-05-2010, 06:59 PM

I'll write your entire wiki in exchange for a green name.

SNOW37 · 03-06-2010, 12:04 AM

can i helps...I've done about a third already.

DemonSpade · 03-13-2010, 11:59 AM

Gj thanks for this

Crossing · 03-15-2010, 02:17 AM

i got fatal error message when i click on the link (not programme crash, something wrong with getID())

Foede · 03-15-2010, 03:12 AM

You mean this link, right? It works fine for me. Perhaps try with another browser, like Mozilla, Chrome, etc.

Just a small, almost insignificant consistency question: is the official language, used on wiki, British English or American English?
I've noticed, in some pages, the usage of both "armor"/"armour", "formula"/"formulae" etc.
