This is where I think you're absolutely wrong. Just because you don't use something, and just because regulars did not edit it, does not mean that the information within was not and could not still be useful.Generic wrote:it wouldn't have fallen out of use
I see inherent value in information, regardless of whether it's well maintained or relevant.preferring instead to assume that we must all see the obvious value in having a wiki
This. This is the problem. The artist pages, the FAQ, pretty much everything should be on the wiki. Why? Searching is easier. Cross-referencing is more comprehensive. Editing is easier. Not bugging Spud to update the website is inherently valuable. He requires us to make art and review threads - let's take it to the next step. The more we can do, the less he has to do. The less he has to do, the quicker the fights get updated. The quicker the fights get updated, the less time I have to post on the forum. It's a win for everyone, really.There's already a full archive of music and art, as well as an FAQ, linked from the front page.
Artist information: bios, pictures, external links, cross-referencing.what kind of information would you want to be on it?
Title information: picture, lyrics?, winner information which can then be cross-referenced, maybe even links to the mp3s
Recording information: so i can link people to the double-tracking page
Song Fight information: history, live events, photos from live events, notable events
1. We automatically pull the fighter bios in.Who would you expect to edit it
2. Then we pull in the fight information.
3. Art, so you don't need that random account thing to submit art.
4. Whoever's waiting for the fight to go up - make it a requirement along with art and thread.
5. Me when I'm bored.
Me. Because I don't know any of Irwin's artist names - seriously, what's wrong with that guy?who would you expect to read it?
