Talk:Medieval Engineers Wiki

Update history
I propose that the main page (protected) transclude a sub-page with the parcial update history, so the main page formatting is maintained while I can update this section without the bureaucracy of asking administrators to edit for me. Wikis are collaborative projects that anyone can edit, and if only one person can edit then it's not a wiki.--MisterSanderson (talk) 16:05, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Adjusted Patch Notes which transcludes to the Medieval Engineers Wiki Game Development & News section. Have fun and knock yourself out. --Z3ther (talk) 16:50, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Proposal: change layout
Hello. I think the layout of the main page should be changed. Actually, when the end of the month is near, the update history list gets very long in this 3-columns layout. This makes the others columns to get much blank space.

So, how about, instead of this:

Doing this:

{| style="margin: auto; width: 100%; border-spacing: 30px;"
 * colspan="2" valign="top" width="50%" style="background: rgba( 0, 0, 0, .1 ); padding: 2px; box-shadow: rgba(25, 35, 41, 1) 0 0.1em 0.5em; border-radius: 0.3em;" |

To write a new article, just enter the article title in the box below.
 * colspan= "2" valign="top" width="50%" style="background: rgba( 0, 0, 0, .1 ); padding: 2px; box-shadow: rgba(25, 35, 41, 1) 0 0.1em 0.5em; border-radius: 0.3em;" |

Not sure where to start?
 * Find out more about how to edit the wiki on the Help Wiki.

Adding content
 * If you are unsure of what to do or how to create a page, search for a few articles on the same topic and see what they look like. You can always view the source code in a wiki and learn from what others have done.
 * colspan="10" valign="top" style="background: rgba( 0, 0, 0, .1 ); padding: 2px; box-shadow: rgba(25, 35, 41, 1) 0 0.1em 0.5em; border-radius: 0.3em;" |
 * }

This would solve the problem.--MisterSanderson (talk) 15:06, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * So I went ahead and adjusted it to fit a bit better, by cutting out the Wiki Community bit. Your colspans were a bit off, but it should work fine. If you think there should be some other changes feel free to edit and adjust this page as you want and hit me up if I don't notice to change it over. --Z3ther (talk) 21:54, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * It's fine now. Better without that section.--MisterSanderson (talk) 22:57, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Wiki needs content badly.
Seems still new, but I'm saying I don't want to see this wiki a stagnant pile of crap with no content, it's how a lot of wikis end up with no content, people want content to add to, few have the resolve to write a page from scratch.

I've taken the liberty of going over to medievalengineers.wikia.com and telling the owner, if he ever logs back on to just delete the wiki, as we have no need for more then one at this point, or at all, why should we divide our knowledge and attention between two wikis on the SAME subject when we can pour both into the SAME wiki. It baffles me yet people keep doing this with so many games.

Anyhow I'm looking to help in any way I can, yet my experience hands on with this game is still limited, I came mostly out of frustration of not being able to find the answers I was looking for.

 * Hello! Thanks for reaching out. It's really awesome how enthusiastic you are about wanting to help grow the Medieval Engineers Wiki! I'll put some time in this week to try and promote the wiki to our audience and get it in front of Medieval Engineers players. We also have contact with the developers, so I'll talk with them as well. I'll be sure to keep you up to date! BriannaMCR (talk) 16:14, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
