==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.

Was feeling a tad nostalgic and came back to visit the wiki, even though I have since retired from the game itself some time back. It's good to see that things are still being run well, more so by the same few dedicated editors ([[Special:ActiveUsers]]), and also by some names new to me, though it still remains quite a select group of individuals :)

Cheers to more good years to come for the game and this amazing wiki!

== Guidelines & notes for editors ==
 +
Some users might have noticed that I have been laying out general guidelines for some of the more major articles on the MH Wiki. This is done mainly so that editors will have a point of reference in case there are any doubts about a particular issue. However, the guidelines I put up are not set in stone, neither are they indisputable. They are there primarily to make the whole editing process go more smoothly and reduce the number of disputes. Requirements change over time, and sometimes the guidelines can and do become outdated. If any other editor has a better or alternate way of presenting an article, they should go ahead and propose or make the required changes. Please do remember to pass major changes through some form of feedback before any implementation, usually by stating it in the respective articles' talk page. -- [[User:Grexx|Grexx]] 20:22, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

* Argue facts, not personalities.
 
* Be civil.
 
Many players treat the wiki like the forums, which it is not. Keep drama off the wiki, please.
 
  
Remember, only Facts and Truths on the wiki. None of that "I think it should be like this". A single mistake on a major page can send hundreds of players off trying to duplicate or verify the facts if not corrected quickly. When in doubt, discuss on the talk page.

__NOTOC__
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:
 
* [[FAQ]] needs some attention with regards to re-wording, fact checking, and providing of examples. [[Talk:FAQ]]
 
* Individual Mouse pages need a traceback on Dave's edits for Loot frequency information. [[Talk:Mice#Mouse_Loot_Drop_Frequency|Talk:Mice]]
 
* Trap Effectiveness needs to be created and explained in detail. [[Trap Effectiveness]];  [[User:Grexx/Sandbox#Trap_Effectiveness_Chart]]
 
* [[Starting out]] Page could do with some attention.
 
* [[Crafted cheese]] Page could do with some table layouts for the various formulas. See [[User:Grexx/Sandbox#Crafted_Cheese]] for some ideas.
 
* [[General Path]] Page could use a huge cleanup brush. And probably a better name. Sounds like some Zen course right now lol. See [[User:Grexx/Sandbox#Newbie_Help]] for some ideas. See also [[Talk:General_Path]] for discussions.
 
* [[Wooden Base]] Page needs the [[Obelisk of Incineration]] statistics.
 
* Need information on Greater RB Potions dropping from Monsters in the Moz. Current information includes Moz, which is very likely to be inaccurate and is up for removal.

Was feeling a tad nostalgic and came back to visit the wiki, even though I have since retired from the game itself some time back. It's good to see that things are still being run well, more so by the same few dedicated editors (Special:ActiveUsers), and also by some names new to me, though it still remains quite a select group of individuals :)

Cheers to more good years to come for the game and this amazing wiki!

Guidelines & notes for editors

Some users might have noticed that I have been laying out general guidelines for some of the more major articles on the MH Wiki. This is done mainly so that editors will have a point of reference in case there are any doubts about a particular issue. However, the guidelines I put up are not set in stone, neither are they indisputable. They are there primarily to make the whole editing process go more smoothly and reduce the number of disputes. Requirements change over time, and sometimes the guidelines can and do become outdated. If any other editor has a better or alternate way of presenting an article, they should go ahead and propose or make the required changes. Please do remember to pass major changes through some form of feedback before any implementation, usually by stating it in the respective articles' talk page. -- Grexx 20:22, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Contributions

Some of the articles which have had substantial input from myself:

  • Further adjustments into regional sections – Aug 2009
  • Introduction of Prerequisites and Next Recommended Destinations – Aug 2009
  • Revamp and standardization of Cheese article, inclusion of availability and usage information – Sep 2009

Outstanding Issues

A bunch of things that need work on, that I don't have the time to get to at the moment:

  • Updated Mouse subsection. Other sections pending.
  • Rewording the Stale Cheese article for better flow, splitting into proper subsections. Some strategies are similar for all stale cheese types, but some are distinct, need to separate or maybe create a table to present it better.
  • Many pages lack See Also links to link up with related articles, and of those pages that do have them, many lack good, brief descriptions on what those links are about. Outstanding issue for over 6 months now.
  • Cleanup of all Hunting Strategy sections within individual location articles. Some of them are skewed towards a certain viewpoint, and poorly presents the different choices available.
  • Adjustment of Larry's tips to start off the hunting strategy sections, as well as adjustment to the strategy writeups to complement Larry's tips and remove any redundant areas that could confuse players.
