The NES Wiki - Get Wiki With It

[Dachs]

I support anything that gets people back to reading the Wiki. Adding a skills bit ought to be reasonably helpful. There's no good reason to prohibit it, anyhow. Good show, Gelion.

Isn't that the idea that you personally would add your assessment of skills to your own user page? And they'd be skills that would be of service to the NESing community as a whole, rather than in a particular NES?

I don't see how that's at all controversial...

This is exactly what I was talking about. You, personally, write your own skills on your page. Your fellow NESers can also do that. The point is that the skills are verifiable and genuine. We can all say that Daftpanzer is an amazing graphist and that Birdjaguar is the pioneer of Excel NESing. We have seen it, we have examples of their work. Symphony is a great cartographist. The skills that you put on your personal page must be
- either what you can do for the community (excel master, graphist, cartographer, web-designer)
- or what you see yourself doing well (which should be at least somewhat confirmed by others): map-maker, guide wirter, graphist, etc.

The point of the exercise is not to boost ego, but to add a credible database of competences of fellow NESers so that we know who to turn to.

I think if we made our personal pages interesting and genuine a lot more people would consult the wiki.

Hum-hum. Due to Symph's recent hilarious actions, we need a new thread/op. Who'd be pleased to host the next thread?

 

[Kraznaya]

Do it lj. The wiki should be revived and actually used anyway.

Recent? This happened quite some time ago dude.

Not everyone stalks Symphony, Dachs

Only a month ago.

It was a very public event.

He only got around to all of the posts just recently.

This.

And I'll just be noting that I'll probably not host the new thread since I already have NESing Tools and NESing Musical Themes (Or whatever that was called), however I'll consider it if nobody else does.

 

[LightFang]

I forgot that we had a Wiki.

Didn't you, or someone, talk about creating NESer leaderheads with our theme music playing in the background?

I don't believe it was him doing it.

It was me. Blame bad civ4'ing skillz.

 

[BananaLee]

We need a civ 4 NES mod for shiz and giggles

 

[Angst]

That was kinda a part of the project.

It'd be fun really. Anybody have Civ4 modding experience?

Still a member of the Warhammer Fantasy Battles Team

 

[Angst]

Ooh. Interested in perhaps joining me in a crappy scenario with NESers as the civs?

I think we'd have to make a seperate thread for it though.
