Missing Information
- Dates and acknowledgement of the discovery of crafting recipes.
- Ancient Box Trap's release date, I suspect it is August 11th.
- Preliminary date added; if proof can be found of earlier existence, please update. --Hyperchao 23:52, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
The introduction of the MH Wiki should be included too, since it is quite an integral part of the game for many players. The earliest date I can find of the Main Page is 12 Sept 2008. If there's no issue with that date, it will be regarded as the start date. -- Grexx 12:00, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
References
It would be nice to add references to the time line. I'm not a wiki expert and wasn't able to get this working so for now i'll list them here. --Le6o 18:41, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
6th October 2008 - Almost out of our midnight oil
100M points
Is there any gameplay significance of this milestone, or was this arbitrarily added due to it being a large number? If it is the latter, I would like to remove the 10/21 post. --Hyperchao 02:01, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
- It's just an arbitrary number, but we *are* counting in base 10 here, so the event of someone passing the 9 digit mark is important to most. Victor.Song 04:23, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
Great Winter Hunt '09
Please explain the addition of "New Crafting Items become availiable." I have not seen anything new, nor have I read about anything new.--Niehusa
The issue of Privacy and Consent
I have just noticed that quite a number of player names and links are currently included on the Timeline article. A couple of points to ponder on:
- Is there a need to include the names at all? Would it make a difference to the article if it said "January 25: Player X catches the first XYZ Mouse.", versus "January 25: The first XYZ Mouse is caught by players.", or "January 25: XYZ were first released on this day."
- Have these players been contacted and agreed to have their names included here, and by whom? I highly doubt any have been contacted. While some might have decided to participate in one of the numerous "First to catch XYZ Mouse" discussions, that does not imply consent elsewhere.
- How verifiable and accurate are any of the first to do/find/catch X thing entries, other than the top few players reaching the next available rank.
My take on this is that all names should be scrubbed out, and replaced with more standard "X Mice were first caught on Date" style and similar. Let me know your comments, if any. -- Grexx 19:08, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
- I second the notion. _m. 21:09, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
