When I cooked up the basics for the wiki, I had some simple principles in mind. First of all, we must not be Data Crystal. It is my belief that we cannot compete directly with DC, because their userbase is far greater than ours. If you want a site like DC, you can use that site instead. What I think we need to do is differentiate ourselves from DC somehow.
DC tries to collect some basic information on
all games. As stated by Lenophis, the scope of our wiki is to document the fine details of just a small handful of games (although the number might grow over time). Since the scope of our site is different we will naturally do things differently.
Secondly, we must remember that not everyone is a charity worker. It is difficult to motivate people to contribute to hivemind projects like Wikipedia and Data Crystal (especially low traffic sites). At the very least, we should allow contributors to have two things: Artistic freedom and credit for their work. This is why I invented the personal namespace for pages.
Maybe it still needs some tweaking, but it can be used right now on every page related to Final Fantasy V, so you can easily jump to the main links. Here's an example:
Final_Fantasy_V_Hacking
Any comments?
I'm not entirely sure what this is supposed to do. It seems a bit redundant since you can use the Main Page, Categories and search to get where you want.
We have EVEN MORE themes now, but some old ones are gone...
