ds-forum wikia

[larry378]

Who all would be interested in a wikia for the dark summoner game information we have aggregated on this forum?

I'm mainly asking for a headcount of potential collaborators rather than folks who would simply be interested in having that as a resource.

The fact of the matter is that the QA (and the questions posted in the wrong sections) are 90% answerable if someone bothered to do a search; but alas no. we get the same queries again and again.

The truth is that threads 'sink' over time. We can't sticky every single one either because
A. the vast majority of us cannot sticky threads at all
B. too many stickied threads is clutter

hosting is free and easy, and we already have a rather large collection of content.

and others like them

As well as a directory of event types, (tower type, path type with collection, lab type with collection, mission item collection [drops of darkness/creature raise], dragonwall type, etc...) as well as some historical information. (A short blurb for each event with the reward monsters; e.g. Den of Woe; tower type; S/P/C prog ssk/gcb/cbk. participation Rot Cast/Hall Cast/Ass Cast. ranking luka/braize/rhea). I just jumped to the last page of general discussions and we have some pretty good documentation starting as early as phantom tower

Anyways, this should theoretically clear up the clutter and redundancy of the QA section; if not making answering questions much easier. i.e. linking to wikia rather than explaining how to use effectively use skill stacks or level AAs prior to evolution for the umpteenth time.

so; once again, I'm mainly asking for a headcount of potential collaborators rather than
folks who would simply be interested in having that as a resource.

There's a well-maintained wikia over at http://darksummoner.wikia.com. They also link back to this forum, so it may be easier to just update that one rather than start from the ground up.

I can't imagine it is that well maintained (as far as updating)

I am aware of this wikia. In fact I first found that wikia when I started playing DS and was looking for some information online. that wikia was not very helpful (admittedly the raid boss crystal locations were somewhat usefull when I was trying to get all the lower level raid bosses since they seemed valuable initially)... hence I made an account on this forum and started asking questions here.


The other thing is trying to change something with a preexisting structure is something I'd rather not deal with. As I said; all the information is on this forum. it just needs to be indexed and organized in a comprehensive way and we won't have different people asking the same question all the time.

Also if we make one, we can standardize and organize it in a way of our own choosing rather than trying to suddenly open a dialogue with whoever runs the wikia you mentioned and negotiate for changes etc...

i.e. a wikia with a white background and black text... rather than this whole dark background light text business with dozens of red links that go nowhere
