not gonna lie, after having been absent from ot for about 12-18 months, this is strangely interesting to read from. i love any kind of encyclopedia, and this (mainly the important threads section) looks like an ok start

Yeah the previous threads for that were outdated and an update was long overdue.
The Art of OT was already starting to get outdated when I first joined OT over 2 years ago.

i was actually thinking about making an OT wiki but then i was like "nah we already have the encyclopedia"

i still have my meraheze account so if any the mods over there feel kind enough to accept the idea of an OT wiki and majority of us want an OT wiki well.. ;)

A wiki would work well if you pull it off; that is make it work like an actual wiki. It doesn't have to be like the Encyclopedia at all.

I suggest making it using Wikia or something, unless you find a way to format it well here.

no, fuck fandom. there are far better wiki services out there, like the previously mentioned miraheze. i might use fandom as a last resort though.

I have no idea what fandom did but I imagine your reaction is justified.

If you want to make OT wiki you can just edit the wiki page.
Idk if you can create more pages to add stuff to it, never edited wikis before.

You can submit pull requests on the ppy/osu-wiki GitHub. Just make sure to check wiki/osu!_wiki/Contribution_guide first

OT: Will there be any rules against editing your own page, provided you are notable enough for one?
sametdze
probably not? i don't see why editing your own page would be a bad thing

Ah, nice. On Wikipedia, directly editing your own entry could actually result in sanctions from violating Conflict of Interest rules, lol.
Ymir
I don't think OT users should have their own page.
That is, if you plan on genuinely continuing this project.

My only reason being that half of us haven't done anything worthy of documentation. Maybe an Abraker page or a JohnMedina page would be alright. Keep the standards high.
I could also contribute to writing anything if you have some open spaces.

Yeah, I wouldn't say I am notable either lol.

i'm actually kind of curious how bad it could get, if it were to be problem

among my curiosities is whether peoples' pages end up reflecting the tone/texture/character of the users themselves, as well as whether there's a general forum-wide bias from likability or if it'll really remain neutral after all

so maybe a mixture of logistics issues and the status likely held by having a particular kind of wiki page in depth or length or tone. makes the forum somewhat incentivized toward something awfully competitive, through some form of ego-stroking self-obsession (a slightly hyperbolic generalization, but probably somewhere near there)

i kind of don't care either way yet, but i'm sure i would at least find a reason to start caring in practice depending on how it ultimately affects ot

...

didn't refresh in time to see the edit, i had an entirely different rationale i guess lmao

If that was enforced there would be no Wikipedia page about Wikipedia, especially not one that's basically saying it's the best wiki ever and the only one you should ever use (it may have changed but it used to be like that kinda).
If someone change their own page (or any page) to write shit it can be reverted I guess.
Don't know if miraheze allows locking pages like Wikipedia does.

Some definitely deserve one, others not. I guess there should only be pages for people who have done something significant or stayed long enough to have left a trace. Although that can be hard to decide for some (especially the old ones few remember) it shouldn't be too hard for people who have been here in the last 3-4 years since there are still active people from then.
Either that or everyone who's posted somewhat significantly (denizens?) gets one but most would be nearly empty.

Time to make a guestbook like in the old times where users give their opinion on each other through their wiki page :P.

even trying to form a prompt for it would be a difficult task depending on what you're going to include in it. without any idea of the specific components and formatting and general documentation philosophy, i can't really imagine what "the OT wiki" is either, much less what an accurately descriptive paragraph would look like

In addition, on the actual Wikipedia, ChatGPT is very not recommended.

people really used ChatGPT because they are lazy, what a shame

chatgpt is a language learning model, not a knowledge model, and especially not a niche knowledge model

it would fuck up to a comedic degree

fact checked that and it turns it hasn't been really ever used, at all

like really, that word has only been used 350 times in total, and only 250 or so with the modern meaning

Like a wikipedia article, but in the OT encyclopedia instead. I think it may be warranted.

Unless you meant the other way around and throwing this into the iceberg, which you should also do.
