We all use and love the wiki but, as I'm sure some of us have noticed, it's pretty incomplete for some of the nitty gritty velious details that we've come to appreciate about Kunark. Whether you're grinding faction, tradeskills, dragons, etc, keep the wiki in mind. Create some pages! Add drops that aren't listed! Change hit ranges! It's only going to be as useful as we make it.

Can someone at least go flip the 'velious' switch so we don't have to constantly specify velious anytime we look at equipement or force us to look for greyed out text.

And how about helping out with...

The Missing Velious Guide (http://wiki.project1999.com/The_Missing_Velious_Guide)

Do your part, if you can!

I just made the Velious Tailoring (http://wiki.project1999.com/Velious_Tailoring) recipe page. People who tailor or know tailoring, come correct everything that's wrong!

Never seen such entitlement, get in there and fix it - you all have the power to make an account.

It's a fair point to bring to people's attention. Maybe he's already been contributing? I don't see his post as "entitled" and it's definitely not the most entitlement you've ever seen as you said.

The wiki does need a lot of love. We should all try to correct it if we see a problem.

I'll take the time here to plug The Missing Velious Guide (The_Missing_Velious_Guide) again. It could use some more contributors!

how do you submit a picture to a specific wiki article? See no option.

On the left sidebar at the bottom, you'll see 'Upload file'. Upload from there and rename the file. Then you can link it in any wiki article.

There's a naming convention in use, so double-check before uploading. EX: pictures of npcs are named npc_(first name)_(last name).jpg

I do have a problem with the wiki.

I was working on improving the Druid spell list, but i ran into a problem...

It wont submit, and i suspect it is because the page gets too big. Reckon i should split it up?
Even tho it would be a bit more of an annoyance regarding having an overview, but the spell list i did a mashup of in the Priest forum ( tho the mashup was a blatantly stolen and modified bard song list ), was popular...

Someone enlighten me!

You can edit particular sections instead of the whole page, but I doubt it isn't submitting because of that. Trying opening a new browser tab, going to the edit form again, and pasting in the content of your changes there.

When i remove half of the changes i did, it can submit perfectly fine

I have been trying to fix it, it's obviously too big a job for any one person. I was hoping this post could get others interested.

what happened to all the old admins? at one point Rahvin was logging in daily to change back some of my positive changes.

Ezri had to split up some of the class pages because they were indeed too large, but they've been reverted back since then...not sure what's up but maybe chat with Ezri about the benefits of splitting?

Who is Ezri, a Staff member or "just" a contributing community member?

Someone else who edits the wiki regularly, as far as I know. Like the runspeed comparison page.
