Habbox Wiki - What can we do better?

[Jurv]

i can't really think of anything else which hasn't already been mentioned. this page is amazing tho :whistle:

Erm, I'm kinda nervous to make new pages because I'm scared I'll do it wrong, the editor is kinda hard to understand unless I'm just rewording some of it, or just changing what's already there
You could make a guide on exactly how to do stuff, I spose?

There are already guides written:

http://habboxwiki.com/Help:Wiki_Handbook

or

Oh, a Handbook
Excellent.
All I could find were the ones on the Community Portal, with the things like Formatting.

You do the Top Contributor Award - just ensure that does go to the quality posts not quantity which I'm sure that happens already with the discussion we have.

Also, as you know I've PMed you a lot unsure about which pages to do, what I suggest is that (after we've done more categorising maybe) is that a thread is made maybe in 'Development Announcements' (not sure where it can go unless you did it in 'Questions/Queries' wherby you construct a list of some pages that are in need of help (I know there's categories and navigation for that but as some have said it's hard to find). Basically, you could make a thread, in the thread have a list of some pages that could need to be done (just thought this could go on the Community Portal on the Wiki as I believe we can edit that so anyone could update it if they do a page on there) and it could just give some members an idea on what to do on the Wiki. You could give examples of what it could be set out like, blah blah.

Also, I think what you really need to do is inform members somehow of what should and shouldn't have pages, such as a random member on HxF shouldn't have a page unless it's their user one, you shouldn't have a page just on the Corner Plinth but more rare items than norms.

You get the drift.

Also, the Throne Value doesn't always work as I've said before, this occurs because of the Throne's actual value on the site as I've noticed it can't give a reading on items worth 1 credit usually. This may be solved in v7 not sure.

Just so members know more not to categorise into the bigger category, such as Anna furni would go in Norms not 'Furni' as 'Anna' should go in that range because that's the line it came in.

Here's some info about what I'm taking from this thread.

We will be adding infoboxes, initially automatically generated infoboxes from rare values data from habbox.com and we'll slowly be adding other info boxes for stuff like staff, rooms etc.

We need to improve exposure to important pages, specifically an easy way to get into the category structure. There's a already a plan in the works to redesign the front page so we'll try and get some featured content visible there rather than blabbing on about inconsequential stuff and a great big link into the main categories.
