New Wiki Please

[steeb]

Hi all,

I've had this in the back of my mind for ages, well a fair while now.

Though this forum has to be about the best, in fact THE best for support in sorting of problems it's that I just feel that I've always been let down by the Wiki.

I'm potentially sticking my neck on the line here but........

The reason for doing this now is the nasty little trojan that got through Sub's back door the other day, so my thought process got engaged: As the front page is under reconstruction I thought why not some other stuff too, and that would be the Wiki.

Why do I, as a seasoned GBPVR/PVRX2 user, still find it so hard to find the detail I want without having to trawl through multiple posts before making sure mine is a first problem...........?

Well of course it is quite fun posting but sometimes it is nice to read a manual and get a quick response from the written word contained therewithin.

I would argue that the Wiki DOES NOT do this.

It is out of date.

For instance (thanks Whurlston) I did not know this fact until yesterday:

Is this in the Wiki? If it is then I am a fool

I have also seen a post tonight:

The WIKI isn't updated all that often so I thought it was best to ask the current users.

Is there a way that the Wiki could be redefined and updated? For me it seems such a shame as PVRX2 (GBPVR) is such a great venture and I believe that many are put off by the lack of detail........

Sorry, I had my rant, and thanks Sub for splendid Proggie.

Cheers

The wiki is user maintained. PM blader_se for access and have at it.

Yes.

Cue evil laughter.....

[whurlston]

Yes.

Cue evil laughter.....

LOL. What he said...

[sub]

Yep. Its fully user maintained, so only ever going to be as up to date as you make it.

I've probably edited 5 lines on the wiki in the last 5 years.

Actually I think normal users (not plugin/skin developers) do a better job of updating it as they tend to notice little things that annoy/bug them more so than developers/long time users. kayak4ever did quite a bit of updating a while back & that was good.

Guys,

thanks for evil laughs and LOL's

But how would I go about this?

Cheers and humbrage for not knowing.....

OK was doing last reply when other stuff came in.

I'm a writer, not really IT, nothing clever in that, would love to update the Wiki, can someone PM me with details as to how to do that instead of swapping jinks?

Cheers

Like I said, contact blader_se and he can authorize you to make changes to the wiki. As for how to do that, I don't know because I've never done it. If you mess up, changes can be rolled back though so I wouldn't worry too much.
