Aight so we're at an agreement here; Advancing a character's meta and frequent top 8 placements = noteable player worthy.
Let's work together now to clean up any false info on players, whether it's them being on a character's noteable player page or just wrong information on a player's wiki page.
Thanks for giving your inputs guys!

player pages are not the main problem though, it's the entire wiki that needs a overhaul. There's all kinds of misleading information, irrelevant stuff from older demo versions, gramatical errors and what have you

i agree with geno and I personally think that our best option is making a completely new wiki with only a selected group of members with access to it, they can still copy paste some of the good information form the old one and rebuild the text correctly. And I'd delete the old one after the new one is done (if possible)

and do we really need player pages? i honestly dont think so

Whether player pages are necessary or not is a new discussion entirely. But for now, we should take baby steps on tryna clean up the wiki we currently have, starting with player information, since it's the easiest part to start off with.

Actually it doesnt. You want a general clean up first, just different angles to it. You eant an information clean up, Suli wants to start it small with the player pages. Both is fine, and why cant you just make both at once? One group goes your way and another one goes with Suli for the player pages clean ups. And once one group is done, you then can continue with helping the other group. Shouldnt be so hard, ok?

^ This.
And once the player pages are done we can just copy them directly onto the new wiki. GG ez.

we've tried this before.

if you're not happy with the current wiki just edit it and stop trying to kick up a stink lol. if you can't try to help the current wiki then there is no way you would want to copypaste info from it onto a new one and create new articles.

Guys, there are only ~900 pages on the current wiki, not counting all of the player/redirect pages. It's not even close to being a lost cause yet.

Yeah, it needs cleanup, but once Beta releases things will need updating anyway, so yeah.

The funny thing here is that, for those who want a new wiki, no one in here has 100% wiki experience (not even me) to built a new one from scratch. Though I wouldn't mind a independent wiki (one not handled by Wikia), that would require to export everything and some files would become useless.

We've tried this too. It was originally on wiki.mcleodgaming.com
