I cant seem to write anything on taiko because the link redirects back to the category and you cant write in categories to well.

nvm I got a little blurb up. First time using the wiki though :D

Can't figure out how to write a new page, so I put stuff in the Modding category page instead. If somebody else can handle/edit things then that would be nice.

Create a link to it first, then click the new red link.

or just enter the page name you want directly into the URL, replacing the one you're currently on

Ah, okay, thank you both. ^_^

EDIT: Did some more stuff. I gotta write some papers now, though, so I'll add more tomorrow.

I fixed a couple grammatical errors, but there is a shitload more. I also think that people should stop adding random players in the wiki with stupid descriptions. Its probably a good idea to take the wiki seriously this time around.

So, about articles in other languages.

If I'm making a translation, should it be FI:FAQ:Installation or in Finnish FI:UKK:Asennus?

Forget that, why am I so stupid?

For now, there's FI:FAQ:Installation.

Thanks to whoever fixed my taiko description. I hope you follow me around the wiki until I learn how to fix stuff mahself.

Edit: Wrote up a quick CTB description. If someone who knows how to work a wiki can turn the category description into it's own page (so I can upload pictures and stuff), that would be nice.

Edit2: If someone can change the redirect from "CatchTheBeat" to "Catch The Beat" it will link to the new page. :3

okay, i worked like a slave.

time for a little break.

i'm surprised no one has made a peppy page yet.

also @post above me, should've been Catch The Beat, not CatchTheBeat D:

Suggestion : Have ES, FI, etc. Various "Language" Categories so we can have a comprehensive list of stuff in different languages. kinda unproductive to have 150 tags under FAQ and most of them being different languages.

Also guys, this is wiki, not a dictionary.

Just sayin'.

Finally learned how to make new pages (sorta). I moved the CTB one to a new page and added a skinning category for someone to write in. This is fun :D

Personally, I made the jump page to focus on the usage of jumps, and the slider page because there was a red link begging to be turned to blue (AKA because I was bored).

There's a line, but as long as we keep it to osu!-specific terms I think it's okay, mainly so that the terms can be linked to within the articles so that a brand new mapper who knows nothing can understand what we're talking about. Now if we start making pages for things like "clicking", "tablet" and "mouse", then we're crossing into dangerous territory.

mediawiki forces upper-case first character for topics and usernames. Also, you really don't need to post your changelogs to this thread; when you make a change you can specify exactly what you did along with the update. Try and keep things positive and avoid calling other peoples' content "stupid", too.

I don't mind if people say they edited something I did, just be positive \:D/

Has anyone noticed that there isn't a page for normal gameplay?

It's just in an FAQ instead of it's own page 3:

Is there a Japanese page yet?

Sadly, there's no Japanese pages yet.
If you can do that, we'll appreciate that.
Alouthgh I know some Japanese, but I'm not native speaker of Japanese, so I'll just get rid of touching Japanese part.
Hope you could do a nice job on it :D

just take a page. add JP: to the beginning of the page name in the address bar. Then edit the page and translate.

Just bumping this thread: I would like to see the wiki replace the FAQ and other help pages we currently have listed on the site, but would like people's opinions on whether it is mature enough for that to happen. There haven't been many changes recently so it would seem either people have lost interest or it has been fleshed out to the point it is quite a usable resource.

The wiki still needs more content to be a usable resource to the community. At most, the guides (or at least the half of them) needs to be ported over to start considering to replace the actual FAQ. I could port them over but my speciality is templating, not writing good articles.

On an unrelated matter: It can be possible to install ParserExtensions in the wiki? It will help when making templates because it allows the use of conditionals in them and reduce the need to create redundant templates.

Tremendously educational many thanks, I reckon your trusty readers would definitely want even more writing like this carry on the excellent hard work.

The ability to replace the FAQ, guides, etc. with wiki links. A better design for the front page, and easier navigation. Much more content and activity in general.

Well I can see that there aren't so many guides written in the wiki, when looking at this box.



We should fix that.

Did you just make that listing, or is it somewhere hidden on the wiki? There should be something front-page like that. And someone should organise teams to get each of those areas updated and migrated.

I found that from the FAQ article; http://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/FAQ

And apparently it can be placed with {{Guides}}.

I could write later today, but that would require someone who fixes all that amazing engrish.
