Looks like we're getting a Wiki.

[Simaril]

No it isn't.

Worth a chuckle. Love it when object lessons walk in the door and point themselves out.

It'd probably be better if efforts were made on a separate AH wiki.  Wikipedia looks like it has all sorts of red tape.
e.g. http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Main_Page
The Wikipedia page for AH would link to that page.

Friendly troops improve the map room at the same speed and value as, say, dropping friendly bombs on a hanger.

this is wiki zoozoo

That's not "wiki", that's Wikipedia.  (By the way, that article is going to be deleted some time unless we can come up with links to a few articles about Aces High from third party sites - e.g. reviews from big gaming sites, etc.)  Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that runs on wiki software - just one example of a wiki.

A wiki is a collection of pages that are editable (often editable by anyone, or anyone that registers).  The system stores the full editing history of each page (so it's easy to revert to an earlier version after a page is vandalised).  Being very easy to edit makes it easy to keep up to date, and easy to add new pages about anything.

Wikis are a great way to store community knowledge and keep it up to date.  An AH wiki is going to be a real plus.

Cases in point- collision modelling, server capacities, arena splits, lag, cable pulling, arena caps, ENY limiter- all discussed at length here, while usually ignoring the facts. 

Your forgot sleepy skuzzy tripping over the cables by "accident".

Any advertising, information, or publicity is good for the game. Players=Money=Development. Bring on WIKI.

Can see it now guys going to wiki to type: Hit alt f4 for unlimited ammo etc.
Then type NOE  is 200ft or less, and so many other myths.

But unlike a forum, it's much easier to correct.

But unlike a forum, it's much easier to correct.

But who gets to do the correcting?

Take pilot wounds in GVs fior example.  I have died to a pilot wound in an M8 but others think it was a bug.  This question is not that important but the only people qualified to answer on whether it is a bug or not are the people doing the coding.  I hope the people doing the correcting are those who really know and not those who think they know.

Interesting to search for Aces High on Wikipedia. Never done that before. Searched for Stephen Colbert and somehow people edited the Wikipedia image to put his face in it and changed the name to "Wikiality"

[RATTFINK]

You really thinks it's just as easy to learn about a subject by searching 2.5 million messages on a forum than it is by looking up the topic in a wiki?  Wiki's are a source of poor and misguided info but the BBS is not?  Can't say I agree but feel free not to use it.

Agreed!

I hope the people doing the correcting are those who really know and not those who think they know.

The point in a wiki is that you need to cite the information you're looking to at the bottom or it will be reverted after a certain amount of time. Yes, edit wars erupt but if I remember right, the mods of the wiki have a way of tracking mass reverts.

Especially when the Aces High II Wikipedia has a link to this vid.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSsJ19sy3JI   under "S.A.P.P. Tactics for Field Captures Traininig Manual Vol. 3" LMFAO... what the heck???

as mentioned before.......wiki  vs wikipedia  are 2 different things........

our Damned Squad have had a wiki in place for a bit..  we just sitting on the updating of it with all the info until we have it all together instead of a bunch of short place holders......

a individual wiki has nothing to do with wikipedia ......
