The Grand Ol' WIki Competition
Part 1
Okay, so one of the things that makes Path amazing is that the game is constantly evolving. For example, simple mechanics might become more complex, to make the gameplay more dynamic, or the game itself might fundamentally shift in some way due to a chapter. While this is pretty nifty and refreshing from a writing and playing perspective, it means that our information sources are in pretty frequent need of update, updates that, in recent months, the wiki just hasn't been getting.
Now already, David offers up 10 karma as an incentive to those who update the wiki most, but I thought it might help to get everything up to date for easier future maintenance if there was a drive right now. To that end for the next 1 month, I will be tracking all changes made to the wiki.
The person who makes the largest number significant changes will be given a prize. SIgnificant changes include:
The winner will get to select (1) from the following pool of prizes:
Only gameplay pages are in need of updating, as David and I will handle all pages related to canon or story.
If you are having some issues deciding where to start, you might consider going through the Updates section of the forum, because it should have almost all, or all of the relevant changes. However, if you see inconsistenies anywhere, feel free to update those as well.
Don't be intimidated by code. The wiki code itself is very simple and easy to learn, in fact there's a resource here. There's a wealth of information on the wiki front page, here. If you have any questions about wiki code, feel free to ask here.
If you have any questions about how something works, when updating a page, you can feel free to post on that page's talk page (by hitting the 'discussion' button associated with it on the right). If you are uncomfortable with that, you can feel free to ask your questions in this thread, where you may also get more immediate answers.
Detailed information is great. Detailed information with appropriately sized graphics to show players what you mean, is even better.
There is no sign up for this contest, you simply have to have a wiki account, and you can make things happen! Be sure to use one of your character accounts when signing up for the wiki, so that it's easy to track progress, and so all updates to the wiki remain transparent.
