I had forgotten that Category links are automatically included at the bottom for tagged pages. The Game Industry page is a good example, I think "Texturing" as a main article will look something between that and a portal such as this, but not nearly so massive: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Visual_arts Define,…
If you're looking for feedback, I've always found the wiki hard to navigate, and feels more like a collection of bookmarks than a wiki. I know it's your baby, Eric, a great resource, but it's kind of messy. For example: http://wiki.polycount.com/CategoryTexturing Coming from the front page, a little time could be spent…
To be honest, I gave up trying to add stuff because my poor artist brain couldn't figure out how the formatting worked. And I remember the categorization being very confusing. So I'd definitely add stuff if it was more straight forward.
Definitely this. I've used the wiki a ton in the past and still do, the biggest issue I have is how slow some pages are. Especially when you click a link and it doesn't open a new tab, just simply goes to the link and then when you want to go back, it takes just a long to reload the page. I agree also with kitty that is…
Spam was a hellscape before we locked it. Though there is a way to moderate in MediaWiki I think. Another concern I had was noobs adding stuff that is just plain wrong. But it's probably better to just open the gates wide, see what happens. EQ definitely has a high signal-to-noise ratio. :poly106:
+1 I know how much the wiki have helped me when I went to school. I'll definitely be down to do a push to get things up and running! Eric, what ever you think I/we can help with, just shoot an email. Can't promise I'll have time, but I'll try!
Thanks. The biggest issue is the slow page loads. That has to be fixed. In the meantime before we convert to MediaWiki, could you take a look at this page, and let me know if it loads faster? http://wiki.polycount.net/CategoryWikiMembers I changed the macro from FullSearch to FullSearchCached. Searching is still slow…
