My Thoughts on the Wiki

[Arrietty]

Regardless of your opinion on whether or not we should keep track of bans, I don't think ANYONE should be adding information against the will of the user in question. If Ped doesn't want his old ban brought up on the wiki, then it should be respected.

Absolutely agree. It's a bit weird seeing that without anyone coming to the person they're writing about. Feels kind of invasive and rude, no matter how well intended.

And generally speaking, so many of the wiki pages are just very poorly written and embarassing. As the OP has said, standards are very much all over the place. I think we need a really good example for a user page, one that doesn't look like it's written by 20 different people and actually doesn't contain awkward information or subjective pieces that comes across as objective and all of that just makes you ask "why?".

On that note of awkward information:
"On Sep 13 2006, 04:24 AM"
This is a real example and it is a bit awkward to see an exact timestamp posted on it. It's worded funny for what it is and it's just needless bloat. The date, sure, but the timestamp? Um er okay?

Lastly, one thing I wanna add that hasn't been brought up is the size of the main bio template.

All of the information is scrunched in because it's not wide enough. I take it this was just designed for smaller resolutions from back in the day. So I also agree a redesign for the template is needed. Because as is, this is a bit unreadable and messy.


The only thing I outright disagree about with the OP is the idea of keeping the community stuff off the wiki. I think it's fun reading up the history of MFGG's community, especially when the community itself is a huge part of MFGG's identity, or at least was for a time.
