Lets talk about the bee wiki

Honestly people will be against tokens but imo it would get so much work done with that motivation.

Editing the wiki is a thankless job.

Hi.

[Demdisco]

Get back to mopping and giving me antag

[Heepox]

I only edit the wiki if I see something I know is wrong. If I don’t see it its probably not important.

@Cato

It is unfortunately in a very bad state right now. Much of the information on the wiki does not keep up with the updates pushed out by maintainers, basically turning most of the new changes into esoteric knowledge.

To be fair it’s up to the coders writing PRs to make wiki changes, not the maints I don’t think.

I think there should be a perma-stickied thread or a channel on discord (oh god yet another) dedicated to reporting wiki issues.

[Penwin]

It is a God given duty to fix any wiki stupidity you come across (Or at least mark it for revision)

[Iplayforss13]

cringe Cato made a long ass thread on wiki maintainers, just say GUYD WE NEED PEOPPE MAINTAOM WIKI

[RoosterCult]

the wiki also had(and probably still has) the wrong rules on some pages, leading to some really “fun” conflict between a player with the wiki open and a n admin. Saw this happen once when the wizard page used to suggest people play a friendly antag

[RogueNPS]

This is why i do not tell people, as a mentor, to use the wiki for basically anything. I suggest Mhelping and Ahelping is always better.

Wiki is a crutch for people who can’t read code comments

Code comments are a crutch for people who can’t read code

[Autistic]

I remember for a PR I had to remove comments I left smh

[Froststahr]

Code is a crutch for people who can’t read bytecode

[RoosterCult]

Bytecode is just a crutch for people who can’t try literally every combination of actions until they figure it out.

[Archanial]

what if i cant read wiki

[DatBoiTim]

@Cato

PRs have to update the changelog before it commits. It ends there. Making our code contributors isn’t the best choice since we don’t have enough of them. But it is one way making sure things are documented.

This happens, arguably not as much as it should.

I also periodically will ask admemes to put me in thunderdome and give me items I think may be due for wiki updates(last I did this was Uplink Items as many had separate costs, and a few weren’t even listed there).

Bytecode is a crutch for people who can’t use their imagination to enjoy funny spaceman daydream.

I think at least having a discord channel or two for wiki stuff is important.
As I see it: Optional Role similar to code/sprite/map/etc.

1. Channel reading out any updates to pages
2. A filtered channel for pages being flagged as revision needed, etc.
3. A channel for discussion/reporting pages.

Additionally I need to eventually figure out how to make a new page on the wiki cause I am doing some stuff eventually.

Just type in whatever link you want to make and hit the make page button

[Ruko]

That’s what mentors are for.
