Recognizing wiki contributions by frequent editors

Some might have noticed that I have been summarizing some of the contributions that various editors have made to the wiki. While every contribution is welcome, these editors have put in a lot more effort into bringing the MH Wiki to the very useful and organized state it is in today. You will only have to look at the initial stages of the wiki to see the tremendous difference these individuals have made.

To put things into perspective, the Statistics page shows well over 11,000 edits. Out of this, easily over half of the edits have been made by the handful of frequent contributors.

Some basic info about myself

MHWiki is the 1st non-MMO Wiki and 3rd Game Wiki I'm contributing to. I actually prefer to do lots of data mining, but MH goes at a somewhat more relaxed pace, so I started doing general Wiki editing too. Feel free to ask any questions or ask for help with the wiki/game, including technical related stuff and I'll try my best. If you want to keep it private, you can send me a facebook message or drop me a wiki mail.

List of things that need attention

Here are just some of the things that the wiki needs help with but which I currently can't find the time to do up:

  • Adding a brief but informative description to the various links all over the wiki so that players can more easily decide whether to follow a link. Example: Crafted cheese#See Also
  • The MH Toolbar could use with a detailed writeup in an article on its own, such as how to use it and some of the other things currently covered in the FAQ MH Toolbar section. It should have its own page considering it is quite an integral part of the game now with the need for SB+, and players will be seeking out more information on it.
  • Power Type, Arcane, and Forgotten pages will need a revamp since Arcane is now a Mouse Power Type, separate from the Forgotten Power Type.
  • Adding a note of recognition to the various editors who have helped keep this wiki in excellent shape. Ideas from this general wiki page: Wikipedia:Barnstars.
  • Doing the bait preference writeup for all locations and expanding the strategy sections.

List of Projects that can be done

An incomplete list of more major stuff that the MHWiki could do with, but which is currently missing:

  • Collecting information on the percentages that make up Attraction Rate. See Talk:Attraction Rate for discussion.
  • Collecting information on Attraction Rate of the different cheese in-game. Will need to account for any rank differences. Extremely Challenging, will be good to do in parts and ignore some cheese types.
  • Confirming Attraction Bonus calculations. See Talk:Attraction Bonus.
  • Collecting information on the percentages for Cheese Effect. Already partially done by myself, but as yet incomplete.
  • Doing a template for the various bases and weapons to allow for easier navigation, similar to what we have for locations right now. See Template:Location and Location.
