Help the Wiki (Rev. 551)

The purpose of this page is to organize all of the wiki’s flaws: missing pages, inaccurate or subjective information, pages that are poorly written, etc. This wiki needs quite a bit of improvement, and hopefully a list of things that need improving will make this easier for everyone.

If you can help out with any issues listed here, please do! If you notice anything wrong with the wiki but can’t fix it yourself, list it here.

Improvement to the wiki itself

Should we change the following?
(Cross posted from https://www.realmeye.com/forum/t/improvement-to-the-wiki-itself/6580)

Prior to this edit, there was no section to discuss the topic of talking about the wiki itself other than this page itself. (There is currently no dedicated place for meta talk about the wiki),
Should we have one here similar to the way it is presented in this edit as of 3/4/2017? As an alternative, should this be a page in and of itself?

“If you can help out with any issues listed here, please do! If you notice anything wrong with the wiki but can’t fix it yourself, list it here.” (Scroll to top)

Should we keep this section itself?
If not, should we have the answers in the FAQ, or some other easily noticeable and accessible area within either the wiki or forum itself?

If in the forums, there is currently no forum section or even subsection about the wiki itself. Does the community think it may be well suited as a subforum of the forum feedback section if not its own forum section? If not, should a sticky be created?

This wiki does not have talk pages or talk pages about page histories (pages where information about any page &or it’s history can be discussed which can help to eliminate edit wars and potentially reduce data usage along with link inconsistencies.) Should we change that?

Further regarding link inconsistencies: Pages do not currently have linkbacks to other pages when links are created regarding any given page in question. Should this wiki have linkpages?
On a note similar to linkbacks; there is currently no page history method to read when a link to a page has been added or removed. Should we introduce such a feature? It would potentially make inconsistencies much easier to find and fix.

Notes

All of the links to the Wild Shadow and Kabam Forums no longer work, so please replace those with links to their archives.

If you have comments regarding the wiki page, or want to help the wiki, go to this thread, or join the #rotmg.wiki channel on the sorcery.net IRC via your IRC client, or via a web client.

Please source all images from here and information from here if possible!

To brush up on HTML/Markdown, feel free to visit the syntax section of the Editing the Wiki page.

All drop rates have been removed, DO NOT revert these changes

Do not edit the wiki for changes on testing. Testing is irrelevant to the production servers, and testing changes often. Because it’s testing.

Please do not add player-created lore on pages except for this, regardless of how well-written you think it is. Lore does not add much usefulness to pages and can be distracting for readers. The purpose of the wiki is to provide useful and objective information to readers, not entertain them with amazing and imaginative tales from the realm.

Please try to add to the pages while ONLY ADDING VALID, LEGITIMATE, and REAL INFORMATION.
Every little bit helps!

Pages that need to be created

Please do NOT add pages that need to be created as empty; use the Template Pages.

If you feel a necessary page is missing, please add it to this list.

What about a page showing the prices of items, which could be edited when the market changes, much like http://guidescroll.com/2012/04/rotmg-price-guide/

Pages that need specific work done

Enemy pages that particularly need work

We need to start sizing this down. Once it’s fine, people forget to take it off. A general rule of thumb is that there are things missing - usually tips - it stays on here.

Please put minor event minions on the boss’s page, like Lich.
