My Thoughts on the Wiki

[Yoshin]

I'm no longer a Sysop so my plans for the wiki won't happen, but I can share them for staff/members to discuss(please discuss).
It boils down to a list.

--Replace userpages
They are pretty useless. Why do we need a page for every user? Ideally either having normal style user: pages like almost every other wiki where they're not important or just integrate and use the forum/mainsite/lumasms accounts. As for staff, just have a "Staff" page that lists current and former staffers.
--Start from scratch and archive the current wiki.
Current wiki is a mess with too many standards that most pages don't even follow. A fresh start is really needed.
--Make the theme consistent with the mainsite and forums.
This was what was being worked on last, it should be simple enough honestly. The current white default mediawiki theme sucks and the theme of the old wiki sucked even more.
--Focus of the new wiki should be tutorials and documenting fangames/romhacks
Tutorial pages are pretty self explanatory, just tutorials in written form, with images when needed. As for documenting, my idea is it would be a place for developers to better explain their game/hack, with information to the side like release year, author, version, etc. One could also have links to the source code if they so please.
--Make the wiki mobile friendly
More people are on an Android device then on a computer, and the wiki is horrible on those. This should be the main priority, as most of the traffic comes from them wiki.


As for community stuff, that can stay off the wiki. At best the "history of mfgg" and similar technical pages with some community are all we need.
