HabboxWiki

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.

I don't think this will interfere with HxHD at all. In fact, I remember that when I was HxHD staff back in '10 there were talks about having something like this. People still come in hxhd asking for help with finding rare values despite the rare value page on habbox.com.

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.

If someone wanted to know any of the information which may not be as obvious to them then they could stroll on into the Help Desk. :8

Its not like all the other information is going to help them anyway really, it's also not going to help Habbox either if you ask me.

What if no one was in HxHD? What if they wanted more information? Then the wiki would be perfect, even if those didn't apply, maybe a HxHD staff member could say, it does this that and another, view here for more info: www.habboxwiki.com/wiki/throne for example. As we progress with the wiki more detailed content will be added by the content staff or the public.

I think if anything it will be beneficial to HxHD staff, since they should be able to link users to the wiki which should help them solve their problems, so a win for everyone. Of course they can explain stuff first, since some people prefer a step by step guide with someone explaining things to them etc, whereas others may want the information in front of them in the form of a guide- so its good that we are providing this service. Also at times when HxHD is unnoccupied there is a constant place where help can be obtained. As others have said, its going to be nice to have a solid list of guides in one place where they are easy to find, nice and detailed. The help given in HxHD is often simple things which can be explained quite easily, wheras these guides can be used for much more. I really like the idea and I know that a lot of people have put a lot of hard work into getting all these pages set up, so kudos to everyone involved!

Its not like all the other information is going to help then anyway really, it's also not going to help Habbox either if you ask me.

I suppose that's true, but again; there's also the less obvious content. If I went in the help desk now and asked when the throne was first released on the UK hotel, not all of the HxHD staff there may be aware of the exact answer to that - whereas the Wiki can give me the answer . There's also the fact that there isn't staff in the HxHD 24/7, and people may need a quick answer.

Well it's not all about helping people. Some users may find the information interesting, it's like looking up something on Wikipedia and reading the full page on it because you are indeed interested or needed to know that specific topic. The HabboxWiki is the same sort of thing, it can help and also provide information to users who wish to use it. It won't affect the HxHD at all.

Staff will never be able to go into the detail that the wiki will anyway?

Also, if a staff member is unsure on an item or something they could search for it on the wiki then tell the user "what something is" or "how to do something", or "where to find something" etc

I have quickly re-written the throne example. Hope it isn't well.. . ****

edit: spotted a poorly written segment already near the end. That's what i get for doing it quickly and not proof-reading my work XD

Say I don't want to edit a page, how about a report page feature pls

I'm not really saying that it will interfere with HxHD as much. I just don't feel like it's going to be as useful to users apart from informing then with information they already know.

I know what you mean but it's not often that someone would come into HxHD asking about the history of a particular piece of furniture. It's a nice feature but pointless atm.

I suppose that's true, but again; there's also the less obvious content. If I went in the help desk now and asked when the throne was first released on the UK hotel, not all of the HxHD staff there may be aware of the exact answer to that - whereas the Wiki can give me the answer . There's also the fact that there isn't staff in the HxHD 24/7, and people may need a quick answer.

It's not often that someone would ask a question like that. I don't understand how this is going to be helpful to anyone apart from informing them of specific dates and information which they already know of.

I know it's not all about helping people. If it becomes popular and everyone reads all of the pages on the site then that's great but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

You keep saying these users know this information already. How do you know this? I don't believe for one second every single Habbo on Habbo.com that currently use it know all the information that would be included on this wiki. Not everyone will use it, that's a fact but some users may and if they do then that's great.
