HabboxWiki

[Zuth]

A few minor criticisms:

On the main page: "Habbox started out as a small project for Mizki but she soon started to realize". Realize should be "realise", it's a UK site primarily, and back then she was British as well as focusing on the UK Habbo.

In the section underneath: "help bring the most, accurate and best Habbo guides around!" should be re-written to be more like:

"Help bring the most accurate, largest collection of Habbo guides around!" Most on its own doesn't make sense, so to seperate it with a comma doesn't work right - this suggestion keeps it flowing nicely.

Also, is HabboWiki taken? HabboxWiki comes off as a Wiki about Habbox It's a shame Wikis weren't around when Habbo was at its prime, this just seem like it might be a bit too late, as nice as it is.

EDIT:

Also, never limit the edit permissions to just Habbox Staff. Wiki sites like this are only ever popular if everyone can edit (if they have an account) and get involved.

I've just updated those small errors, thanks for spotting them, and as I and some others have said, I'll get Jin to set that domain up as he bought that too. (I think)

It'll be useful, so if people look up Habbo and Wiki it may link people to the Habbox one.

I believe you mean separate

Shh you, just testing your reading skills and you passed with flying colours

i think some of it is written too much like an advertisement, like http://www.habboxwiki.com/wiki/Habbox_Live.

i'd put in information about how habboxradio started, some screenies of the old site from archive.org, then how habboxradio became radiohabbo and habbox started habboxlive.

Yeh this is very true Robbie.

Also, Really? This is what you have on HabboxLive? You missed out all of the history. You missed out anything popular in the past etc. No images whatsoever. You also have no urls or anything. Also 'Printscreen of HabboxLive.com' looks very tacky. You should re-phrase that to 'Image of the HabboxLive.com website' or something along those lines.

I think you are now trying to rush through, getting pages open with lack of detail and care. The actual old content pages for HxL were more interesting and detailed than this ! This does seem like a decent concept, but to me the content seems all over the place and written in quite a primitive way. So tackling that would be a first large leap forward.

Not sure who said that there's an abundance of !!!!!!!! but having just had another look around the site (especially on the pages relating to Habbox itself) I have to agree, and Robbie's point of it looking like an advert is made more prominent by this. I know you probably want to look friendly and all that but wiki pages are meant to be impartial fact rather than taglines and messages about what "we" do - currently it's just too personal and smarmy

Habboxwiki.com is owned by you guys, so thats a bonus, i do think the feature is a tad pointless at the moment, but i guess if you can get people adding information etc thats a definate bonus!

The HabboxLive page has simply been copied from their department page on Habbox.com by the looks of things, which rather defeats the purpose of one of the two mediums (https://habbox.com/#!/Radio). Infact, I daresay the Habbox.com page is slightly better as it includes history.

If we take a look at the page I wrote for the Events Department months ago, I tried to crush as much info on as possible to promote us in the best light (https://habbox.com/#!/dept-events). What we need to do now though is try to keep the Habbox.com page quite brief and then delve into the history, promotions and statistics of the department on the HxW.

I've just clicked random page and been greeted with this though...

Moon Rugs are also referred as Moon Patches. Moon rugs were first released in November 2010. It's current category is Classic Rare's. When it was released, it as 9 credits. It's current price (November 2011) is 5 credits, which is 2.5 HC's and 0.02 Thrones. As with all furni it has a motto to it. It's motto is; Built in 1969! Over the months, the moon rug's price has changed, as with all furni.

"Moon Rugs" shouldn't begin two sentences straight after each other. It's should be its. Why do we need to know that the price has changed, "as with all furni"? The semi-colon shouldn't be used in that situation. "Furni" is too informal and it should say "furniture". The apostophes shouldn't be used either. Oh, and varying the sentence length is important in order to make it flow smoother. I'll rewrite it, but then the problem is that consistency would be nice across the whole site. Some pages will say "furni" whereas others will say "furniture" because the level of professionalism will vary from page-to-page.

One other thing is that a lot of the furniture pages have the rare values on them. Rare Values change each and every day; people can't go back and edit the Wiki every day. I'd keep rare values off it tbh.

Hence my edit:

Moon Rugs, also referred as Moon Patches, were first released in November 2010 and they are currently categorized under "Classic Rares" section. When it was originally released, it was sold for 9 credits in the catalog. Its current price (February 2012) is 4 credits, which is approximately 2 HCs or 0.02 Thrones. As with all furniture, it has a motto which reads: Built in 1969!

Hence my edit:

Agreed, no-one has that much to change them. If they do it will only last a week. They may as well be removed - if people want to find out they can just look on Habbo, Habbox or any other websites.

Once again, I have no excuse for these comments, the page to the best of my knowledge was copied from the Habbox.com page, if you think something should be changed/edited then feel free to do it your self. All content on the Wiki was only some small guide lines so Wiki users could add it to.

I must admit, your department page is very good -deletes- lol anyway, that page I'm not too sure who did it but I'm very disappointed at the fact its been rushed, we were under pressure but not that much. I will try my best to make sure that the value error does not go on any more.

I like it, I definitely think it has the potential to knock the Wikia one out of the water if given enough love. I've been writing some pages tonight and its been pretty nice learning how some of the formatting and other bits and pieces work.

There are a few too many exclamation marks and slightly advert-like phrases here and there, but it's gotten off to a great start!

It would be nice for the tone of voice and language style to be made clear (is it aimed towards helping young users understand Habbo, or just a reference for older users) as that would help find a middle ground of how to set the articles out.
