Future of HoboWiki
Hi, everyone. Wanker here. I'd like to take a moment to discuss something with you. It seems, some people seem to think their gang is notable enough to deserve a page in the tutorial. I disagree. Until I came here, I didn't even know they existed. As well, the full extent of their article is a member's list. No gang history. Nothing. I'd like to lay down some ground rules that everyone can agree upon, so that we don't have to deal with the mess of noobs making pages about things that don't matter.
So, here's my idea for the HoboWiki Ten Commandments:
- 1. Pages are not to be signed with the writer's name.
- Ex: Every noob page.
- 2. Think! If half the game does not care for your topic, don't write about it.
- Ex: Every noob page.
- 3. Gangs, unless having a influential effect on our history, should not be written about.
- Point: Edge of the Earth, and various noob gangs. Counterpoint: Genesis, or various other gangs responsible for the audit.
- 4. Lists are not appreciated. Ever.
- Unless the list has a distinct point, such as marking a history.
Furthermore, I believe subsections should be established, seperating various sections. For example, all tutorial pages can go under Tutorial/ArticleName, historical articles can go under Historical/ArticleName and so on.
Lately, I should be made some form of WikiGuardian to protect against the heretical nature of invaders.
P.S. I am quite willing do all these changes on my own. I am quite bored with myself.

- It would be helpful. I think the first order is probably just expansion. There may not be too much to write about, but I'm sure we haven't documented some things. I'm always pushing for history, but we are lacking the old timers now and my memory isn't quite what it used to be. --Wanker 06:24, 25 February 2007 (EST)
- P.S. I was considering, maybe we should put up old newspaper articles? I don't know if the old papers are availible through the game, but I figure that would be a nice archive to have around.
