UDWiki talk:Open Discussion/Project?

Working on a few gnome-y things over the past while (and noticing the stress most of us place on these things, especially in the number of times it's been mentioned on A/PM recently), I've come to a realisation - there's a lot less game info sitting on this wiki than you'd expect. There's a lot of events, groups, personal projects, etc - but things like history or mechanics are often overlooked. As such, I'm hoping to get a project organised (possibly with shiny templates), to boost one of these areas. Areas I'm thinking could do with work are:

• Location stubs
• Game history
  • Past events
  • Timeline?
• Skills and game mechanics
  • More number-crunching/specifics worked out?

Personally I'm leaning towards something based on the game history - to begin with, perhaps creating a Timeline of In-Game Events page that sorts these things in order and provides a nice index, from which to look at things like the Big Bashes, the Malton Murder Awards, Bashing Back: The Battle of Pitneybank, Silent Night Slaughter, etc etc; followed by a movement to clean up and expand these pages when and if necessary. Of course, there's plenty of other things that could be done, but essentially I'm looking to get half a dozen of us, or more if more are interested, all gnoming in the same direction so as to help flesh out the game-relevance of the wiki some more. Suggestions? Ideas? Volunteers? 20:40, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

I like the idea of a timeline, and resources like the zombie imbalance thing would be good. One thing I would say is that there should be separate timelines for both in-game and metagame events - it would be a bit odd to see Big Bash 3 and the Second Mayor of Malton election on the same timeline.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk !

Three timelines, maybe (Updates/In-Game/Meta-Game), with a central Timeline page to disambig the three? 20:45, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

I'd be on board, though I'm not the best source for historical stuff. I'd be willing to flesh out some of the Skills and Game Mechanics stuff. Make this place more of a wiki and less of one big fucking group advert/meta gaming hub. ~ 20:45, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Don't we already have an updates one? Ask Ross, he's the one who updates it if it does exist.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 20:49, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

You mean the game updates? They're always posted in news. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 21:15, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
