Okay so I've only looked at this very briefly but does something like this not defeat the purpose of the HxHD?

The Habbox Wiki,I'im assuming, is aimed at providing a more detailed history of particular elements of Habbo. Whereas the Habbox Help Desk as I see it, is more for smaller problems/issues, or questions which don't require a highly detailed response. Hopefully you see what I'm trying to say . There's also the issue that not everyone behind HxHD will know about everything that can be found in Habbox Wiki.

Totally agree with this.

Just to back up my point I went onto the site and clicked "Random Page" until I had five pages that weren't marked with "This page is coming soon". I do understand there's a lot more pages there and I lot more to be released but just using it as a somewhat example. People in the HxHD should be expected to know this type of stuff in the first place.

Also, I can see the HxHD Staff taking advantage of this site, feature, whatever! Would it not just make them lazy and refer people to the Wiki? I know that's what happened with the events page. If someone came into the desk asking where the event was they said "Check www.habbox.com/events" instead of going and checking themselves.

With the events, it would be nice in the staff did tell the person themselves rather than telling them to check the events page. I agree that some of the pages are a bit simple in terms of the information they provide and that the staff should already know it, and hopefully the staff will still answer the questions they can answer, but then at the end maybe they'll say 'check out the Habbox Wiki for more' or something.

I'm not too sure on it at the moment. I don't understand why is was created because if anyone wanted to find out any information surely they would go to HxHD? I know it's not just claiming to help people but it all just seems pointless to me. A lot of the pages already created are associated with things which a lot of people already know. I might end up changing my mind once it as progressed but it certainly doesn't appeal to me at the moment.

Links open in the same page, that personally annoys me.
But I like the idea, should be good in time.

needs a better logo too.

I'm pretty sure HxHD staff could not remember/know pretty much everything to do with Habbo and little if not any of the background information, this is no way taking over HxHD IMO as HxHD is a place where habbo's goes for small question/info, the wiki will be a much quicker and detailed guide, I'm sure the Help desk will not be effected by the site.

I'm not saying it's going to take over HxHD. If anything I'm saying that it's pointless because of HxHD being there. If a user wanted help with anything then they would be able to visit the room and get told all of the relevant information they need to know. A lot of the content which you have already got on the pages is already quite obvious to everyone anyway if you ask me. However, like I said in my other post although it doesn't appeal to me at the moment I may change my mind as pages and features get added.

Although some of the content on the Wiki may be obvious to you, it may not be obvious to everyone. There's also a lot of less-obvious content, particular dates and history for particular elements of Habbo.
