I've come to terms with the fact that a public Wiki will almost always be horrible regardless. There are only really two options.
We create an official Wiki, and we only allow a special team of volunteers with private access to edit. Maybe a user group that you need permission to join. It's never going to work as an all-public project because it always descends in to garbage. Or we ignore the current one.
If you guys are interested in this, private message me or show your support in this thread. If there is truly enough want for a really clean, moderated wiki then I'd be happy to work with a dedicated group of individuals on that.

I'd love to help out. I sort of regretted not opting to help out on the wiki, plus lots of grammatical errors really showed a lack of attention to detail.

For example, CSWooly is labeled 'Semi-Professional' in terms of skill, SoldierSunday isn't even on the list of noteable players for Fox, let alone have his own Wiki Page, Niayre has been put on a lot of Noteable player sections on Character pages unnecessarily and the list goes on. Furthurmore, according to multiple players, Niayre has actually threatened to ban the wiki accounts of anyone who attempts to fix any misinformation, such as him being on multiple Noteable player lists. There's definetely more garbage to come if people don't start spreading word of all the crap that's going on. Myself and others (shoutouts to Mr Z) are working on correcting any false info and adding valid info, but we won't be surprised if our accounts get permabanned and the changes made are removed. NOTE: The reason of this thread is not to s*** on the people behind the wiki, but rather make people aware of the s*** that's going on there. Also to make people aware of Niayre's possible toxic behavior. Proof of Niayre's toxic behaviour: http://gyazo.com/fb3a44b639dabb25aa51ff9f59648fa9 | | | | |
As someone who has been doing some heavy contributions as of late, the Wiki in its current state is still very much a work in progress. If a player is not listed under "Notable Players", it means that they most likely don't have a player page. Also, ZeroOR told me that SS didn't want his page to be made because SS was going to do it himself. As for the other problems mentioned, I haven't gotten to them yet. There's only so much that 1 person can do. Anyway, if you're going to abandon this one, sign me up for the new one.

I'm gonna weigh in on these two points. 1) Too high? I'd probably agree with you on that. Should I be "Scrub"? XD 2) Niayre specifically told me not to create a page for SoldierSunday, due to his apparent "disregard for the Smasher page". This annoyed me a little because I had more data on him than any other smasher. Most of my edits are on SSF1 though, and I need to really update their stuff on that. Niayre also threw a hissy fit when I added some of the "notable players" without pages, including SS, and deleted them. Here is my notable players chat with him: http://mcleodgaming.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:25831There should be one with TSON. Niayre will probably ban me, however, I will just stop all work on SSF if he does so. I'm just getting this out there now.

Two quick questions: Is it possible to not close/delete the current wiki, but rsther make it inintational only? That would be less of a middle finger to those guys who contributed there, but also secures a higher quality.
Second, because some issues apparently have come up with player pages apparently, make one yourself and let others check read it. This would avoid arguments like "Why has X a page but I dont X is a scrub Im totally beter than him" and also making sure nothing is made-up or over the top to the point where Player Y makes him look loke a fusion of M2K and Mango or something like that. Also, player pages are no popularity contest, just like the BMTLF thread isnt one as well.

1) Only TSON can. 2) That's the policy.

This is what happens when you let basics run something. How did this even happen anyway, I don't follow the wiki or its production.
I didn't even read Geno's post. Whoops.
I think the best way to go about a wiki is to have applications so we know they're knowledgeable. Kind of like Backroom apps, it's probably the quickest and easiest way to ensure that the wiki is properly ran with viable information. A usergroup for this would be cool too I guess.

I apologize for my behavior and the edits.
@CSWooly That SS stuff was a mistake. I am mostly aimed at your editing problems.
The wiki has gotten a little better, but their is a lot that needs to be improved.
I am sorry for my behavior.
Also Suli that link you posted was toward Miracle 7 who was being a troll at the time who did something off a dare.

I've been working in the wiki a lot recently updating special move pages and would love to help out if a new one is made.
Regarding the "notable player" issue, I'd think there needs to be some standarization on what being one means. The most obvious criteria for me would be tournament placings; creating an official list with all the conditions could be a great idea.
