A standard wiki, sure. Not one with staff whose primary job it is to mother HabboxWiki.

Are you telling me that the wikimedia foundation doesn't employ anyone?

All wiki have staff.

• Wikipedia is written, edited, maintained, and almost completely operated by volunteers from around the world.

But then in another bit they say they have staff, so confused

Right, I don't want to turn this in to another debate about the wiki because I think the radio is a far more critical department to address right now but I will reply once more and then not again in this thread. The WikiMedia Foundation does have many employees. Do you know why? Wikipedia is one of the biggest websites in the entire world. It is the largest collection of human knowledge assembled in one place in the history of man. In the history of any library, any encyclopedia, any archive — it is the biggest. Do you know something, though? If you compare the number of staff the whole foundation employs to any of the other top ten websites on the internet as a whole you will see they employ barely anyone compared to the rest.

The interest is there for Wikipedia. Their users pay for their hosting costs — millions of dollars. When people are willing to support a site like that, that means it is something hugely successful. I understand that Habbox is smaller but HxW has been around long enough already and as you mentioned in another thread, basically two thirds of all important articles are under 500 bytes. Do you think anyone is interested in propping up HxW like they are Wikipedia based off of that? Certainly, a sadly large amount of pageviews that HxW receives are from its own staff.

I believe it is a very noble effort and I support it fully. I am passiontae about Habbo and I am glad Habbox has a place where history and information can be collected and searched. Just curb the delusions, please. The only similarity between anything Wikipedia and HabboxWiki is that they both run on similar coding. It ends about there.

Says almost completely operated. Point is HabboxWiki is run by one of the smallest departments, the wikimedia foundation is also low staffed. Difference is some people have unreasonable expectations that it's the content design department's job to create all the content on the wiki or to fix all the grammar errors when it takes them about tens seconds to fix it themselves.

Off the record I can be fairly certain that's un-true.

Oh my gosh, are you serious? It is obviously true — look at who is spending the time creating and editing the few bits of information there! There are edit history pages, you know. Staff play a huge part there. It isn't Habbo users from around the world coming together to create a common knowledge base but rather like a cat paying attention to a ball of string all day long because, really, no one else is interested in playing with it and its toy.

I will reiterate again that I think HxW is a good idea but I am certainly not going to spend my time creating content there because it would literally take months to bring it up to actual standards working off of the number of staff there, their competence and myself. It's simply easier to keep what I know in my head with the lack of passion the majority has. It has a lot to do with a decline in Habbo — in fact, mostly to do with the lack of interest in Habbo by anyone but tweens — but I really think you are a bit off your rocker when you act the way you do about it. You couldn't be further from reality.

Err — gosh. Yeah, I did say that the post before this would be my last about the wiki in this thread. If you want to reply feel free to do so but I will reply to that somewhere else. Sorry about derailing the conversation regarding the radio.

Well you and Zuth did force every member of the content department (even those who explicitly said (when asked) that they didn't want to work on the Wiki) to work on the Wiki. Anyway, this thread is about HabboxLive, not the Wiki so if you want to debate about the Wiki then please take it to another thread.

There have been two members of staff who have been semi-active on the wiki for the past few months. Myself and in the past week intersocial, everyone else has either been on leave or working on the main site.

It's always good to see a manager having a go at another, a fantastic example to set and the height of professionalism

Back onto the topic of HabboxLive, I am curious, what is the requirement for number of slots that need to be booked each week by a DJ?

Just out of curiosity, is the Arcade returning or has your usertitle not been changed?

Oh I forgot about that. I haven't been Arcade Manager for a long time now...I never really wanted to be it I was brought on to advise or something.
