I know that the wiki for the warrior cats games has already been made into a thread, but the fact is that there are very few people doing anything on the forums. To give you an example of how few there are, the only people with wiki accounts who have contributed to the wiki are me, with the name of Wavestripes, and Admin, with a few people without accounts who came on a little while ago. This isn’t aided by the fact that Admin is obviously busy with the games and of a course his own personal life, and can’t spend too much time on a wiki.
The wiki has 23 pages, not including category pages, which are doing okay, but because I’m pretty much the only person doing anything most of the time some of them really aren’t as big or detailed as they should be. I’ve made some pages, expanded others, connected some by putting them into categories, and added a handful of screenshots. It is hard, but its so much easier when there are other people doing stuff as well. So can some of you please help on the wiki?
Some of you might think that you can find pretty much all you need on the forums, and especially on the walkthroughs, and you can find a lot - I’m not trying to make little of what some people have accomplished. But the wiki won’t just be a walkthrough; it will be ordered information about the games, and it will make things easier to find than on a walkthrough, if enough people work on it.
Admin, if I only make this thread and hope some people help with the wiki, not very much will change, in the long-term anyway. So, I want to ask if you could make a new sub-forum for the wiki, if it does actually do well in the short-term, so that there will be something reminding people when they just scroll down the main page, and so that there is an organised area for ideas and etc for the wiki. If it doesn’t do well in the short-term there isn’t really much point because it means that there isn’t enough interest in it, but if there is it would be very much appreciated.
So, everyone, can you at least check out the wiki, and add a bit of info you think is missing maybe, or make a new page or something? If enough people do, it will be worth it.

I won't create a subforum just *yet,* as I don't see that there is that much interest in the wiki at the moment (I myself haven't done anything with it in a while as my computer was screwing up and not letting me edit it).
EDIT: Ok it seems that I can now edit the wiki from at least one computer, I think. I see you've been doing a lot of work on it and I'm very grateful for that. I'll take some screenshots and maybe get articles up for a few more locations. Just ask me if you need certain stats for a character, etc.

I'm the random guest that probably annoyed you with a comment about merging the items pages. I can't make an account, but I'll try to contribute more often now.

Ok, I probably won't devote all that much time to stuff on the wiki but if you need screenshots of a place, information on a specific place etc. just ask.

warriorcatsthegame.wikia.com
Yea after I realized that my computer (the one I mianly use and the one I use to develop the games) couldn't easily edit the wiki I stopped publicizing it.

I think Willowleaf was the one who asked me on the wiki to put up a list of articles needed, and here it is (partially. I’ll add more as I think of them) Owl Tree Great Sycamore The Gorge WindClan WindClan Territory RiverClan RiverClan territory ShadowClan ShadowClan Territory SkyClan SkyCLan territory (and maybe a page just for the camp) Tribe f Rushing Water Tribe Territory Tallpines BloodClan BloodCLan territory StarClan Dark Forest Power of THree Game (which obviously isn’t in urgent need or anything) The training hollow The horse place The FOrest The Lake Terminology (which because I think everyone here already knows the terminology of the clan cats is something that really doesn’t need to be done for a long time)
Those are what I can think of now, though there may be more.

The list looks pretty good so far but I think we already have Dark Forest.

One thing I think we should change about the wiki, rather than listing all recruitable cats and all the enemies in a long, low detail list on a single page, maybe create individual pages for each cat, for recruitable cats talk about the advantages and disadvantages of using that cat, moves learned, etc. and for enemies, places you fight it, moves it has, hp, etc. Again, just ask me if you need movesets/stats.

Good idea Admin. It will take a while, but there isn’t really much to add to every character; only the main ones really have a lot to say, event-wise. And I’ll still have to group them into a category. . .
Question: do you think we should make a page for erin hunter/the book series? Doesn’t have to be very detailed, just for the sake of acknowledgement.

Yea that sounds like a good idea.

. . . I just spent an hour making the aforementioned page and then, before I could publish it ‘safari quit unexpectedly’. (slamming my head against the wall) Well, I’ll attempt to make it again another day.

That's happened to me before but only ever seems to happen when I'm typing some really lengthy thing

Yeah, and I’ll redo that page eventually, when it doesn’t make me wince to think of rewriting all the stuff I wrote (wince)

I've already done multiple grammatical edits to the Wiki.

I just made the Large Twolegplace Maze page. I didn't see it on your "needed pages" list, but it's a nice addition to the wiki.
Edit: Now I've made the BloodClan Territory page.
Edit: I've also made the Tallpines page.
Edit: I've also made a page for Scourge, and I've made a category for Bosses.
