Forum:Feedback for wiki improvement
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
| Forums: Index → General Discussion → Feedback for wiki improvement |  |
Hi all! I just want to gather feedback to better understand the wiki's progression and how it's been treating everyone so far. Just answer the questionnaire and put your answer down using bullet points (that's using the asterisk button in case you didn't know or have forgotten how to). To clear things up, the first bullet point is (A), second is (B), third is (C) and fourth is (D).
Oh, I'll add more questions soon. For now, I'll just limit them to seven. Cheers! — subtank 08:45, 25 January 2014 (EST)

Oh, a proper questionnaire will be created soon. — subtank 08:53, 25 January 2014 (EST)
1. C
2. A
3. D - I'd say as far as canon content goes, it is pretty up to date and accurate. As far as multiplayer content goes, that's not really up to date.
4. Both A and C. -I'd say we're doing a pretty good job, but having only eight admins at the moment seems a little low.
5. A
6. A
7. I'd say IRC use (I'm partly to blame, I hardly go on the channel) could be improved upon, like promoting it more as a means of conversing it between members.
Well, that about sums it up for me.--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 11:45, 25 January 2014 (EST)

- I like the wiki's design format, but we could start experimenting with a darker and more advanced look. Bright blue with white backgrounds gets a little tiring after a while.
3. A
- For the most part I feel this wiki is good about updating its pages. What's more needed is probably trimming and unifying to make sure major articles don't get left with gigantic dumps of information that might not all be necessary.
4. A
- I'm happy with our other administrators. It's clear they're putting in plenty of work and not merely sitting on their throne to let the plebians add all the info.
5. A
- Very accessible. Though I recommended updating the look above, I recognize that this bright look also helps keep the wiki to look easy to access and easy to read.
6. A
7. I think the forums could use some help in separating topics better. There's a good bit of overlap, so perhaps either moving their links or making it clearer what goes where should be in order.
