Okay so got some questions about the wiki. Could use some opinions/directions on these,
Should all the Fortification add-ons be on the same page like this or do they look too crowded and some of them need separate pages? Fortification Does the Troop Crawler page need an overhaul after the last patch or is it too early for it? Troop Crawler Is it okay to update pages based on the info in this thread? http://forums.swr-productions.com/index.php?showtopic=4439 What would be a suitable name for the category of primary resource gatherers like Osprey, secondary gatherers like Hackers or resource gatherers in general? |

The thing is having the unit's descriptor term in it's name sometimes makes it easier to navigate in some category pages, specially for new people. Like only having names like "Lynx" or "Pandur" in the "ECA" or "Light Vehicles" category page might confuse someone about what that unit is. But if the descriptor term is there he would know what it is without actually having to go to that unit's page to find out what it exactly is. Again yeah having only the names might help make the category pages cleaner. So I actually don't mind either way. BTW MARS did once tell to add descriptor terms to some ECA units which initially didn't have descriptor terms in the names of their pages - like Leopard, Lynx etc (feeling to tired to dig that up and quote now but I am pretty sure he did). So they probably should stay. Well I suppose to keep the names as the same as the unit's in-game one makes the most sense. A derp on my part haha. Calling them by "Anti-infantry" or such gets overly pointless. They're helicopter gunships. it means they shoot missiles and stuff. Pointless? Referring back to my last post, not every helicopter gunship is the same. Yes, such helicopters may shoot missiles, but anti-air or anti-tank might be something a newer player wants to know. We don't need overly pointless terms like Anti-infantry. It already has the info right when we play when it says "Strong against X" and "Weak against Y" If you're going to make the point of information being present in game, then I'd might as well rest my entire case [as why would there need to be a wikia? All the basic info, excluding lore, is in-game...]. Maybe someone wants to find APCs for a comparison. Description terms make it easier to find the vehicles you want. There are categories for that. |
