: And while we're at it, "Establish a good topic structure - the old Unreal Wiki seriously lacked in this department". Let's be extremely clear as to how the old wiki seriously lacked structure, specifically what was missing and what to do to follow the new and improved structure. This has never really been discussed or designed, only to say, "the old way sucked". So here's the chance to outline what sucked and how to make it ... not suck. Let's see a very clear plan on the project page, please. -- [[User:SuperApe|SuperApe]] 13:44 (PST) 21 April, 2008 | : And while we're at it, "Establish a good topic structure - the old Unreal Wiki seriously lacked in this department".

| − | Well I was kinda liking the basic proceedure thing that was starting to happen and wrote the [[Legacy:Using_The_Mod_System_In_UT2004]] according to that somewhat. Its not exactly on the standard layout though, so Im wondering what would be the way to join a list of basic procedures into one tutorials would be. Like for eg making a mutator class would be a basic thing and hello world mutator would expand on that basic procedure. Im also not sure what to bring over myself, its obvious class pages will make their way over with the new wikifier but for other pages I had alittle input with Im not even sure who the original creator was anyways. Perhaps basic procedure could be listed on this task list as well if its still the way things are going. -[[User:OlympusMons|OlympusMons]] 23:42, 21 April 2008 (UTC) | + | |

Revision as of 22:40, 21 April 2008
Regarding this blurb from the project page: "Don't just copy pages from the 'Legacy:' namespace. Make them better by rewriting them in you own words, restructuring them or even approaching the topic from a different point of view." Doesn't that fly in the face of the new rules, which as I understand them are to *not* change the content unless you are the original author? Clear up this ambiguity on the project page, please. -- SuperApe 13:39 (PST) 21 April, 2008
