    I think it should have waited personally. I can find a lots of grammatical errors floating around. Also, I am disappointed it was not as detailed as I would have liked it to have been. Take for example, the Throne article: http://habboxwiki.com/wiki/Throne. It is very vague. There is no mention of the fact that it was super-rare or nearly non existent on other hotels such as Habbo.sg and Habbo.com before the merge. You must remember, we do not share the same histories anymore and stating a single history for it is like generalizing. This is a big problem in itself.

    Also, it is very rigid when reading, you repeat the sentence "The Throne" over 4/5 times and it just sounds unprofessional. This is simply for one article, I didn't bother going to read more.

    Although I am skeptical on this and think it is one of those sensations that will probably die out like HxTV and whatnot. This is because the actual Wikipedia is successful because it is so broad. By this wiki, your audience is extremely narrow and I'm not sure how many hits you'll get atm without making it sound and look better, whilst also making it more detailed.

    I can see what you mean but with it being open to the public, it's great to get feedback on how it can be improved. Plus it helps when users can also spot these errors, even edit the pages for improvement and then one of the content designers can approve such changes. Yes spelling and grammar should be correct the first time round but not everyone is perfect.

    In terms of it dying out, well it could do but the information can still be a use to anyone who comes across it and if it gets updated when anything changes on Habbo then it shouldn't be too much of a problem. It's just one of those things that is nice having I suppose.

    What do you mean by nav boxes? Also, I'ma make a few changes so Non Staff can create pages.

    - Allow users to use talk pages to discuss how to improve the page
    - Allow users / Staff to start setting up categories.

    Edit:

    - The "rainbow" logo is nice, however I've found it can increase page loading time a lot on occasion.
    Re-directs are a nice idea and as I say, I am just about to change a few things so non staff can make new pages.
    The URL's should hopefully be fixed in the near future
    I assume a user needs to create the talk page first? If so, as I say, I'm changing a few things in a minute.
    I don't want users creating categories as of yet so I'll start creating those soon.

    Awesome. I'll make some Talk pages then where they're needed.

    I've just moved a few already.

    Also it'd be nice to get some of the page tags so that we can easily label if a page is too short, too long or badly formatted, I believe that you have to make templates.

    Edit: Made a template for the "Coming Soon" tag, I'm going to update all the pages using it with the tag.

    To use the "Coming Soon" tag instead of just the formatting stuff just use "{{Coming Soon}}" and it'll auto include it.

    It is a good idea but it was blown out of proportion which is why i guess I'm somewhat disappointed

    i think the whole thing might be a little more popular if you included some more stuff tailored to the community rather just habbo guides. i would probably look at it if it had like INTERESTING things about each era of the forum rather than just the forum categories. stuff like what happened when / mad shutting spam / the kkk etc.

    y'know throw a bit of habbox community history in, oli's spats, narissa rigged it, hxss year by year.

    at the moment i find it incredibly boring + stiff.
