Awakening ?
I dropped back in to NG last week and made a few Posts on our BBS thread. This and a few other bits of work got some people talking.
Here is a list of things that might be done to AWAKEN the wiki editors as a TEAM, like it was in 2010:
- Go through the Articles without Category list, which should have some crap to remove. Just put the Cat Articles for Deletion on them for now, or, if you are NOT proposing to delete them and they DON'T need massive work to be tolerable, just put them in a Category. This might create a reaction from some Page creators who are watching their Page.
- Start a new Survey on the Front Page
- work on a Page until it is a GOOD, UP-TO-DATE example of a page with interesting information on it, then FEATURE IT on ou…
Notability of Character Pages
Generally, we limit the number of Characters Pages in Wikigrounds. We are really only interested in characters having Pages if they have Notability beyond their own series as, in the grand scheme of Newgrounds, most characters are not that Notable. Bitey, for example is one of the Gang in the pic on the Flash Portal Page, he appears in parodies etc quite often. There are, however dozens of top series with major characters who nobody outside the series would know the name of.
If someone really wants to create Pages for individual characters, they had best create a Wiki for the series, as has been done for Madness Combat etc. then Notability is relative to the Specialist Subject rather than considering how notable the individual chartacter o…
Help!
Is it just me? Wikigrounds is not working properly for me:
1. When I enter the name of a Page in the box, suggestions are not appearing underneath as I write
2. The Delete option is not appearing for me on the Edit box, so I cannot delete pages, as I want to before 500.
3. When I click the Categories box at the bottom of the Page, the screen just jumps to the top of the page, instead of allowing me to enter categories.
All of this means I cannot do my job properly :(

Focus on 500!
OK, having taken us further from the target with my pogrom of Pages, I will now help make new ones. I don't have time for very major Pages, but I will try to make them at least a few lines long. The target is still achievable in May if we GO FOR IT! I suggest we do a couple more of the subs in the Top 20 All time, as they are obviously likely to be very Notable. I would prefer us generally to focus on creating Pages that we actually have something special to say about, rather than creating Pages with onbly obviosu info, just because they are classed as Notable.
I am ready to submit my animation as soon as we hit 500-
Salnax, will you please contact Wikia about their Spotlight Promotion?
Tyler- could you please try PMing or Talk Paging a f…
Badges
The badges have never been of great interest to me, but I do still kinda like having them and I tend to speed up on a particular badge when I am near to achieving it!
I have wondered why some people seem to get more badges than others who seem to put in as much work and it came to me today!
If you focus on just writing stuff and editing stuff, then you will get edits towards an edit badge, but if you do other things, such as add pix, they also count as an edit! Da!
For anyone sad enough to care, I reckon a precious random 1000th Edit Badge is due soon!
