The wiki has just undergone a massive overhaul over the past few weeks. And by massive, I mean the entire wiki has been combed. Here's a list of what has been accomplished:
1. Most if not all dead links have been removed.
2. Any pages left with only broken links were deleted.
3. All groups sites (yahoo groups, epicduels.com, etc) have had ALL content linked to the wiki. I went through those groups in great detail and added links to all deck and map content that wasn't already on the wiki.
4. The Files and Pages were combed through as well, and any .DKD files were deleted (those are are not linked anywhere), and any images or PDF's that weren't linked to anything, or that I couldn't stick back in somewhere I deleted.
5. Pages that were isolated, or not otherwise connected to anything were deleted.
6. When noticed, spelling, grammar, etc were fixed.
7. Formatting issues on some pages were fixed.
So, where do things stand?
-There are over 155 Star Wars characters represented on the wiki (not to mention all the non-star wars content), and well over 200 decks for those SW characters alone.
-There are currently 146 users registered on the wiki, I still get requests to join about 2-4 times per month.
-We are currently using 299MB out of the 2 GB of available file space. That's just under 15% of the file space. If all user created content were to be housed at the wiki (4 yahoo groups, epic duels.com and the few independent fan sites out there), my feeling is, the wiki could handle it and probably still have space leftover. If it can potentially handle 10 years worth of user created content, perhaps it's a long term solution. Oh, and the storage is completely, and totally free. It's just a thought.
-If your content is now suddenly missing, it's likely because the links to your content was out-dated. You'll have to update that content yourself.
If anyone has any suggestions, or catches something I missed in this latest overhaul, just take the extra second and fix it yourself.
Things yet to do that are unfinished (due to lack of time and motivation):
1. Fix the "go here" links on many of the character pages. Many of those links direct you to the star wars databank, which is basically defunct (or at least, it's changed dramatically since those links were created). All links should instead link to wookieepedia. I didn't catch most of them until today, and I haven't yet fixed them all.
2. Physically move content from yahoo groups to wiki files area. It would be great if we could have everything housed at the wiki, instead of just housing indirect links to yahoo groups. One of these days I'm going to download all the content from the yahoo groups, and then upload it all to the wiki, so we can have it all contained in one place with direct links, instead of linking out to the yahoo groups and forcing people to browse for the content. Not too many people are using the yahoo groups anymore anyway. So, if I can find the time and motivation, I'll see about getting this done.
Feel free to help out if you wish, it IS a wiki after all, and a wiki is all about community contributions.
