Revisiting some old ideas
My two cents on this:
- I like the idea for wiki navs and now that it's been pointed out, I'm really surprised how long we've gone without one. I agree with Kapra that we don't need to have them on every page.
- I have no opinion on the training methods. I can see good and bad things about both methods. For one, tabbed training methods would make the page look much smaller and the wiki nav would be much easier to spot since those are usually at the bottom. On the other hand though, it's much easier to make a comparison on how much work you have to do per rank with all the training requirements shown at the same time.
- The ToC is kind of ugly. I prefer the standard one we currently have.
- Battle tactics is useless in my opinion. So is the tactics page that Kapra mentioned and we should probably get rid of it in favor of user written guides when we get that implemented.
I already started making User Guide Category, but the only problem is...how barren it is.
It also only has ~20 views, which were probably all from just the people here in the thread(s). Another wiki I've done a lot of stuff on [1] has a "tactics" page with user guides ([2] the last two images are mine) and it gets plenty of attention, ~800,000 views. This is because fundamentally the game has a steep learning curve and a very active forum community though. I even have a special green username for being an "official wiki editor", which I absolutely must brag about.
Anyway to sum that up I don't think userguides work very well for Mabi. There isn't much demand and everyone plays differently. The other game I mentioned above is extremely competitive and stat-whoring. Of course people are always looking for guides, but with the way our front page is set up I don't think it will work out well here. They should go on Mabination forums. Lexis's guides clearly have many hours of work put into them but the viewcounts aren't very pretty. And on forums you can promote your stuff all you want, doing that here will clearly not turn out well. Just imagine userguide links all over every page.
