== 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.
+
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 Requirements change over time, and sometimes the guidelines can and do become outdated.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)

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.

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]] '''STILL''' needs some attention with regards to re-wording, fact checking, and providing of examples. [[Talk:FAQ]]
 
* <s>[[Starting out]] Page could do with some attention.</s> Completed thanks to [[User:Mikeyco|Mikeyco]]!
 
* Site Map being considered. (Low Priority, will be done only if really free!)
 
* 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]].

A bunch of things that need work on, that I don't have the time to get to at the moment:
* <s>Proper writeup for [[General Path]] article. See [[Talk:General_Path]] for discussions.</s> Project completed thanks to [[User:Camomiletea|Camomiletea]]! The replacement page is [[Location Quick Reference]].
+
* Deciding what to do with potion articles, either moving the potion articles into the cheeses, such as [[Brie Alchemy Potion]] into [[Brie]], or [[Radioactive Blue Cheese Curd Potion]] into [[Radioactive Blue]], or leaving separate and reducing the redundancy among pages at the moment (repetitive advice).
* Collecting information on the percentages that make up [[Attraction Rate]]. See [[Talk:Attraction Rate]] for discussion.
+
* Brief writeup on how to navigate in the [[Location Quick Reference]] article, mentioning internal section links and external links
* 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.
+
* [[MHWiki:Data Links]] needs updating due to changes over the months.
* Confirming [[Attraction Bonus]] calculations. See [[Talk:Attraction Bonus]].
+
:* Updated Mouse subsection. Other sections pending.
* Collecting information on the percentages for [[Cheese Effect]]. Already partially done by myself, but as yet incomplete.
+
* 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.
* 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]].
+
* 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.

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.

  • Fixing Acolyte redirect to point to Acolyte Mouse instead, which is the more common search term, and fixing related links.
