    MNC Wiki

    There's still lots of random crap left to learn, plenty of articles that need touching up. Personally, I'd love to see the protags page completely filled up with clean, higher-quality images of protags that aren't taken with a camera and don't have that pesky number or pricetag on them. Maybe we could get some inside help? <3 ;)


    MNC @ Wikipedia

    This one actually looks pretty good. I'm not sure that much needs or should be done to it.


    MNC @ TV Tropes

    Could use some more refinement and consistency in tone. Also could stand to have a Your Mileage May Vary page. I'd do more now, but after spending a couple hours editing it over a couple days I'm all troped out. Maybe next week.



    So...who's up for some hot editing action?

    I used to post a CRAPLOAD of stuff on there, but everything I did, was either taken down and put back up under someone else's name or just re-written. So I got fed up with it and stopped.

    I'm a serial Troper, but mostly on the fora (I run an RP).

    See what I can do for the page.

    Wikis aren't about credit or egostroking, they're about informing. The trick to making a good Wiki page lies in finding a good balance between the amount of info, the length of a section, and the overall tone.

    There was probably good reason whatever you put on a Wiki was removed, but that's nothing I can comment on since I don't know the specifics. If you want to do egostroking, make your own page at some free site dealie. That way you're the top brass, more or less.



    Yeah, I noticed a bit of that. It's good to see other fans of works improving the Wikis for them :D

    I never said I wanted to stroke my "internet epeen" did I? Negative. I got mad because I added all kinds of new, unlisted info, pictures and they were taken down immediately by other people(often guests) and re-posted. It just really got on my nerves. Never said anything close, or relating to: "Ohh, imma post all kindz of stuff so people on the internetz luvs me" It's my personality. I don't like being discredited for things that I am 110% sure on. So sue me.

    Haha I've never edit wikipedia before so I am not sure how to do it.

    Besides, I have made videos to AVOID writing to begin with, and I get 25 cents an hour :(.

    Amen.

    Oh my, how can we possibly hope to compete with such a salary. That's like one beer in 12 hours... :shock:

    Improving Wiki articles makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside though and it's really not hard to learn.

    tags: = for size of a title, ''' for bold, * for bullet points

    = Title size very large =
    == Title size large ==
    === Title size medium ===

    '''bold'''

    Now you know like 90% of all the wikitext you will ever need. :D

    I believe I have just became a genius.

    I'll tackle the assault sections, just because you ask so nicely :).

    Amen.
