wiki wouldn't really make much sence in all honesty.

One thing that I do wonder is would we make these news front page as well as the current habbo news if we did? probably be best as saves u having to route around into the specific section for it which would probably put people off, but then we dont have much space on the front page and it flicks through very quick. probably more inclined to front page personally

Is this not something the Wiki is better suited for?

No it's not really, I find the Wiki better for guides on stacking, Wired etc.

Would not be suited to the Wiki IMO. Its not as noticeable as having it on the site for starters, most of the quests are only there for a limited time (unlike the Games Hub which was there for a month+) so they'd have to go pretty quickly. It seems more suited to news for now, but a diff. dept or sub-division of news in the future would suffice.

If you do that I believe all should be allowed, as others aren't written as much as it is.

front page and put news elsewhere tbh lol with articles back...

can you not pin a post on the news thing so it stays at the end until its unpinned (when the badge not available anymore)

Isn't this what the content team should be doing? Writing content?

I'm guessing this is for basic things like, latest badges, free furni etc. What you want is the most basic of guides, so people can get what they want as fast as they can, e.g:

Enter this room [Link here]
Step on this tile
Go through the 3rd teleporter on the right
Enter this code
Claim badge

Etc.

You don't want a long drawn out guide that will need proofreading and be released a few days after the majority of people have the badge. No need for another department, this has content written all over it.

----

And, with news, they would simply write their article as usual:

'New badge released!'

Today Habbo released this badge blah blah blah, how do you think it looks? Read comments etc.

In terms of placement, I don't think we can "sticky" any kind of news article at top (it's all based on the most recent) - @Inkwell; may know.

I like what ThisHabbo (no not copying, using local resources please) did sort of, they had it in a separate widget and it works really well. But the current news system is a bit crap and I imagine nothing will be changed until v7 :L

news has actually got a lot quicker now since we got some numbers back and it really is not like a few days later. The fact there will be no word limit as we'd want it short and snappy also means we can quickly write something up immediately we see it instead of waiting ages and having to deal with people who need mins etc.

not really sure it's perfect for content cause they are really small anyway and that'd just make it slow again in all honesty especially when it's very similar to what news do anyway

A widget could work... Simply something small on the side saying

'Latest released badge: Picture

Link to HabboxAnswers page'

yeah i agree on the last part, thats why i dont read habbox news. their news is long and boring, powertoo and beaches don't have english as their first language (that we know off) and their first article was very good. just basic facts etc. not some stupid long piece with a word count to reach lol
