It doesn't matter how you want to twist wording. The wiki is dead..... for now. Once they get the new version up and running and things settle down I'm sure their intention is to repair or replace the Wiki. However, you trying to brow beat them into it isn't going to work.

Give it up and let it go.

I didnt even know there ever was a Wiki until this thread. A sight that helped me a lot when I joined was Soda's, which helped me prepare for matchups against certain aircraft vs others.

the only thing that I find misleading is the part about learn from your own films you can record.  I have hundreds of films, I havent learned crap.  I wish they would change it to view your own films and post them so others can laugh at you  :bhead :bhead.

Here is just one of the common definitions found on the web about Wiki's:

wiki in TechnologyExpand Definition
communications and messaging
Any collaborative website that users can easily modify via the web, typicallywithout restriction, a center for collaboration and communications with common messaging.  A wiki allows anyone, using a web browser, to edit,delete or modify content that has been placed on the site, including thework of other authors. This has been found to work surprisingly well sincecontributors tend to be more numerous and persistent than vandals and oldversions of pages are always available.
Text is entered using a simple mark-up language which is then rendered asHTML. A feature common to many of the different implementations is that any word in mixed case LikeThis is automatically turned into a link to a pageof  that name, which may or may not exist (similar to the linking in thisdictionary).


  If you go to the aircraft and vehicle forum and read the sticky that Murdr put there about the wiki you will see that it's a player generated deal and not a HTC thing.  There are no admins only monitors so please feel free to repair the wiki as your leisure.


   HTC only hosted the wiki,the players put it together and grievers had to wreck what was done.

  But as I said if it bothers you that much just have at it!

Regardless of what happened to the wiki, it is in HTC's best interest (and the player community as well) that the wiki is fixed and made to look better. New players like such things and AH is not exactly well documented.

Now that HTC added a social media person to their staff I was hoping that she will also improve the wiki - which I consider to be a social/community feature. I am sure that the content can be written by players, but it would be good if she or another HTC person could take care of the visual design to make it more appealing and invite AH players to fill wiki entries that need to exist there or need an update.

HTC website and wiki need to look more modern and appealing if they hope to attract more players with the new upcoming AHIII.

I would and I offered to, however, HTC has denied everyone access to it.  You can't get to it to repair it.

In a pinch you can use my AH Notes page.  It has a page with all the planes base performance numbers.

Go here.

wiki has been moved to wikia DO NOT POST ANY LINKS TO THIS FOLDER OR WE WILL CLOSE IT BACK DOWN.

The reason it was closed is because it was doing major damage to our google ranking because of broken links.

put wikia at the end of the HTC domain and you will be there, I have moved it only for the purpose to let people fix the approximately 10,000 broken links. So go ahead and  have at.

AND AGAIN DO NOT POST ANY LINKS TO THE ENTRY PAGE.
If it shows up in a google analytics we will shut it down again.

Any chance Skuzzy, Hop, or even a knowledgeable trusted member could post a quick intro/how to regarding how to repair these links?  I know many folks, even the PITA ones would be willing to help float this boat, and if 100 guys volunteered to fix 100 links each, problem solved in short order.

There must be someone who is able, or at least knows how to proceed autonomous to HTC since the permission has essentially been given here to try and repair the broken links.

I for one miss it, having used various iPads/iPhones and previous tablets to surf through plane performance and data while climbing en route to fights.  Having ample free time, I'd happily volunteer to be a "yes" person, instead of a "no" person on this one.  Just need a bit of direction/training and then point me on my way.

I wish it was that simple.  Wiki is a whole new language.  Learning it is more art, than science.  When I did call for volunteers to help fix it, I got two responses.  If you can get a hundred people to help, then more power to you.

Did that, but outside links (seems to only take one) seem to cause the crawlers to ignore the robots.txt entry.

Taking it offline was a last resort.

I see, that explains a lot actually, I would have thought it would be a simple or common language they would have used.  Google yielded few possibilities in terms of a beginners how-to on repairing broken wikis, I just hoped it was a matter of "not enough time", yet it being a common enough problem that average joe could work on.  Obviously not the case.  I'm still interested in trying to help, I'll see what can be done.  I've got 5 volunteers myself included interested already in just a few hours of asking, unfortunately none of us has experience - yet.

I'm a complete noob at it, I'm still trying to wrap my brain around how there can be 10,000 errors on something that says there is 364 content pages, with 2500 or so total pages in the statistics button on the wiki in total, (it says -All pages in the wiki, including talk pages, redirects, etc) for those 2600 odd pages.  Would that mean there is on average 4 broken links or errors on each of those 2500 pages to equal 10,000 total?  I'm missing something here I get the feeling, can anyone who understands this PM me an explanation of what is happening exactly, and what's involved in fixing it?  I clicked through the wikia link HT provided, and in a few minutes of jumping around, I couldn't find anything that glaringly stuck out as a "page not found" error.  Again, I'm missing something I think.

I do think it's an important part of the product, and having it repaired, and most importantly modernized would be a good thing and good timing with the new version coming out.  I think with the right person (not me) who knows more about this would could take point on delegation and training, I could get volunteers in the double digits working on it weekly.
