HabboxWiki

[Mathew]

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.

This is something which I've been wondering because it would seem to be the unavoidable problem and an encyclopedia's worst nightmare. There's a group of teens of all different ages and quality / style of writing contributing towards the same goal and obviously the tone will be rather muddled. I've been trying to write it from an objective stand-point (saying "Habbos" rather than "you" for example) simply because I think it sounds more professional. I'm not sure if that's the aim or not, but that's what I think would work best!

It would be far cooler if it was a Wiki about everything habbox. Schemes, depts, Staff etc etc etc.

That's what I thought it would be Mike.

They might come out in the next release + they are mentioned on this page http://www.habboxwiki.com/wiki/Habbox

It's really cool, in my opinion it will help newcomers to get to know people, well the owners and staff.

I am in complete agreement in this. I personally think the wiki should not even contain the words 'you' or 'we'

So. many. spelling mistakes.

Will be good once it's all been tidied up

I'm concerned about the suggestions to make the Wiki focus more on Habbox... You do know Habbox.com has this information? It would be nice if it focus just on Habbo, with one page for official fansites with sub-sections for each fansite with a tiny bit of text. If people wanted to bore themselves with details about Habbox, they would go to Habbox.com or other fansites. Try to keep it neutral, which isn't that hard If children and teens over at the Animal Crossing Wiki can do it then so can you lot

Also, as someone stated - never use the second or first person narrative. 'Them' becomes 'Habbos' and 'you' becomes 'the Habbo', I think. It'll make sense in context whatever is written.

With the change in settings that allows users to create their own pages this can be done as a group effort if so desired - anyone with enough knowledge of a certain area (because let's face it the content staff aren't going to know the complete history of every area of Habbox by heart) can contribute and put up their work for submission

It's possible to write about Habbox without the personal touches and bias that are currently on there, and community pieces are hardly written about on the habbox.com if at all, so it would be nice to have a site where one can browse the history of the site/forum/people without HE WAS GREAT WE ALL LOVED HIM!!!! and SO COME ALONG AND JOIN THE FUN!!!!!!! all over it. Personally I think it would be nice to have a more permanent archive of activity, so long as it's written properly

Depends how it is done. If there is one page per person it'll be a white wash of Habbox-ness with little attention on the Habbo things, there are possibly more things on Habbox than things to talk about on Habbo. Quite a few Wiki sites tend to keep pages about people to the User:User pages, while only making pages for specific, interesting people e.g. Mizki, sierk, Jin etc. and other famous individuals who cannot update their User page themselves. It always worked successfully on a few Wiki sites I've visited before - they keep the Wiki for the useful information and the User and User_talk pages for the banter and info about regular Users, which is usually written straight from the horses mouth but keeps the pages away from the information that should interest new users and guests.
