A word from the editor
Just wanted to put up a quick word of greeting. My goal in editing MHWiki is to bring professionalism and experience to the wiki and make it a better place for everyone, but especially for the newer users who come here to learn about this wonderful game. If I've edited your work or proposed it for deletion, it's not because I'm being grumpy or an anal-retentive douchebag with no sense of humor. It's because I saw an opportunity to make MHWiki better. I absolutely guarantee it's nothing personal and I hope you won't take it as such. As a long-time wiki editor, I know that's asking a lot and it can be painful to see your work edited by a faceless stranger, but such is the nature of wikis.
Please note that the purpose of MHWiki is not to be a public billboard for your Facebook group, a forum for showcasing your new (mouse / trap / location / whatever) ideas, or a playground to "have some fun" and create joke pages. As stated on the main page, "The MHWiki [...] is intended to inform the populace of Mouse Hunters and those who have any interest in the MouseHunt world and its intricacies." There are countless places online for you to share your ideas and to have fun without restrictions; MHWiki, however, is not one of them.
Thanks for visiting my page and happy hunting! -- B.Rossow talkcontr
Have a comment?
Something on your mind? If so, please feel free to let it out on my Talk page by clicking this link or the tab marked "discussion" at the top of the page. Once you're there, it helps if you use the [ + ] tab at the top to add a new section in order to keep ideas more organized (unless, of course, you're commenting on a topic already being discussed). Please also remember to sign your post by using the signature button at the top of the editing box (second button from the right) or by typing --~~~~ at the end of your entry. Thanks!
Pages and templates and boxes, oh my!
The following are significant pages and templates I've created (not just edited) for MHWiki:
- Communities - a new page compiling info about several different MouseHunt communities with links for further info on each
- Template:Base - an infobox that appears on all bases pages with info about ... well, the base in question
- Template:Weapon - an infobox that appears on all weapons pages
- Template:Navbox locations - a navigation box used to simplify "movement" from one Locations page to another
My Wishlist
The following items are in need of work as described below. If you can help, please do so!
Proper capitalization of MouseHunt throughout- I think I have this under control for the time being- Dates throughout MHWiki are formatted inconsistently and should be updated to match the internationally recognized standard of "dd MMMM YYYY" (e.g. 17 December 2008).
- Creation of a "Manual of Style" for MHWiki
System Wishlist
This link will take you to a page listing pages that are linked from other pages but do not yet exist. You can help by either:
- creating and carefully editing the page in question, or
- if the link truly doesn't merit its own page, go to the page with the link and remove the link by eliminating the square brackets around the word or phrase in question
