Hm, I learned to map and I didn't need to read a book to do it.  I don't think anyone should be punished with that.

But you *have* stepped into many little traps, no? There were relevant things that you didn't read, and some experiences you had to make were painful, right? And you would have rather skipped that, right?

Wrong again? So, what you are saying to me is: "Do not grant them their wish." So, I'd like you to talk to them about it, not to attack me from yet another front. See, it's just as I said: There is no possible right decision for me. This statement, however, is of course false.

Face it: We are finally entering the situation in which it is the people's will that I don't obey them any longer, however paradox that might sound. As a result, I become ruler. Wait a few weeks, and you'll see that I'm right.

Um no?  I'm not saying that at all or trying to attack you from another front.  As I'll say again, if you make a tutorial, guide, ect to help someone and it isn't *incorrect* it is benefiting people.  Everyone who thinks that the wiki would be better with out your guid should either write a better one, or not read yours.  There is no reason for them to ask you to remove it or make fun of it.

Right.  But what you're suggesting is like making a beginning rock-climber hike up Mount Everest instead of starting him out on something easier to get the grips of the sport.  It's like sending a padawan against a Sith Lord before the padawan has been properly trained in the Force.

No idea.  The exact same list works fine on [wiki]Sandbox[/wiki].  It also works fine with the list down the bottom of the page.  So it's all very odd :s.

[jez]

The guide was fine. I'm relatively new to mapping, and I read it (all) and found it helpful.

As for length, watch any decent "intro to mapping/radiant" series of videos on youtube, have a think about how deep they go, and how many words they use. Yes, you do need to do a lot of writing to adequately cover everything in a crash course, people are just unaccustomed to seing something of that scope in text.

Yes, it was first person and a bit of an ego trip in places, but that didn't bother me.

Hi, I found out that the trem wiki is seriously spammed, see:
http://tremulous.net/wiki/Special:LonelyPages
http://tremulous.net/wiki/Special:DeadendPages
Looks like there are several hundred spam pages. I don't know how to solve the situation, so I'm just posting it here, as instructed by the header above the wiki pages.

  Best regards, nalf

[David]

there are thousands.
I was deleting them as they arrived, but it jumped from 2 or 3 a day to hundreds a day and I don't have time to spend an hour a day clicking delete and ban.

This would be nice if the wiki was not a spam infested sh!t hole.
This could still be nice if some wiki admin did something about it.

[Meow]

oh i suddenly have an idea,only people who sign up at (tremulous forums our this forum) can edit the wiki pages ,no one should be allowed to sign up at the tremulous wiki,this should reduce the amount of spam.there should not be a sign up link to here either,they must come here and sign up.

[vcxzet]

there are many! More coming every minute/second
Here, just a few of them

IP (Internet Protocol) is a general communications standard, and cannot be banned. a user's IP address (eg. 207.18.2.153), however, can be banned.

Dont waste your time. They are a horde

[Meow]

we should not give up,we can turn this wiki into a usefultool,but only if the wiki admins do not give up.(I think the wiki admins have already given up)

Yes, the default options to delete pages in mediwiki are useless.

It is impossible to maintain. Somehow they are registering directly without registering to forum first.

If you really want to contribute you can do it on trem.wikia.org
I can give admin privileges to trem devs, forum mods, and known users.

[Meow]

ok,I do want to contribute,I will go to  trem.wikia.org

[Meow]

somehow I cannot access the website,I get redirected to http://www.wikia.com/Wikia why?

[vcxzet]

sorry, it is .com (not .org)
http://trem.wikia.com/wiki/Trem_Wiki

[Meow]

ok.

[FloriOn]

The Dretch wiki page is not what it has to be. Please correct it!

Undo doesn't work so it took a few extra clicks, but that user's contributions have all been undone. There's a lot more spam I can't/won't do anything about
