Forum:This wiki's direction

Hi guys.

So, this is a brand new wiki, and I do want to help it grow (once I play the game more, only just let into beta), but it's a little difficult to know what to do without having an idea of how things should be organized.

Front page has to wait until more content gets up, you can't really do much with it right now with only a handful of pages.

So far there is a Heralds of Chaos (Game) page, Heralds of Chaos Factions (Item) page, Factions Overview page, Units page, and Levels page.


 * I'm thinking the content on the (Game) page would be better suited on the homepage, as it's a bit redundant to have a page with a brief little blurb about the wiki's topic, when that's something that should realistically be on the front page.
 * You could actually rename this to 'Gameplay' or something and go into how the game is played instead.


 * The item one, not sure yet

Factions and units is where the bulk of the content is going to be, but there's several ways you can go about it. You don't want any one page to be a "one-stop shop" sort of page, so avoid having too much unnecessary information. I don't really know how the founder or anyone else wants to go about this, but I was thinking perhaps a page for each faction that gives a brief overview of that faction and lists its units. Each unit would have an individual page that would go into further detail. The biggest thing would really just be deciding how to present that information on a page.

Category-wise, I haven't given it too much thought beyond organizing unit pages by faction and maybe rarity.

There's more that could be done, but for now I may work mostly with aesthetics since I haven't been playing long. I'm not sure all abilities even work as intended, I know there's been problems with some not working at the start of beta, but I have no idea what does and doesn't, or if abilities stack, etc (Though it seems they don't, which makes having multiple abilities on a unit redundant?).

There's also the wordmark, favicon and wiki theme to think about, but it's not as important right now :P (Also when you guys upload images, you may want to indicate they're used under Fair Use)

Anyway I've rambled on long enough, just wanted to voice my thoughts and see where this plans to go. 21:21, October 14, 2012 (UTC)
