Actor Messages (Triggers) and Actor Events are very similar, perhaps we should link them together somehow? Actor Messages are much better documented and viewing the same Message/Event from two angles could help understand it better.
My suggestion is to put all of the actor events + actor messages on the same page and write a line about how they work from a trigger perspective as well as from a data perspective. Then there are events and messages that are unique to the data editor and to the trigger editor. These would be put into their own sections. So a mutual page with three sections.
I would suggest a two column method then for presentation. One about the trigger perspective one about the data and if it is unique there is just no input for the one column. Also actor messages are only effectors are they not while events are triggers and have terms?
Also at one stage a whole lot of undocumented events only accessible via raw data were found by Helral somehow. Maybe ask him how he got hold of those?

I thought I'd something different than the current structure of the abilities wiki. Currently the wiki is subbed into the ability types with every page containing every field the ability has. That can create a lot of inconsistency and I find it very redundant to have the same field multiple pages. So my idea is to continue to add to the ability page so it contains all fields combined and create a table on the individual pages like I did on this page: http://wiki.sc2mapster.com/Data/Abilities/Behavior
The same goes for effect and maybe behaviors and any other catalog that's got a lot field and types.
I've copied over all the Event Actions from the old wiki to the new one which is sadly a short list of 5. I'm going to work on coping the Event Events too but there aren't many of them documented either. If anyone has any Actor Events documentation but don't feel like writing it to the wiki they can send it to me and I'll write it into the wiki. I've got some documentation it's not very complete and my testing isn't extensive so the information may be incomplete.
That is correct, that upper link is the newer tutorial page and will eventually replace the old wiki one. I advise looking through the tutorial forum from the back and evaluating the validity of the tutorials.

As you probably all know there is a new official SC2Mapster wiki http://wiki.sc2mapster.com/Main_Page.
It has made great progress in a short time but there is a lot to do.
As the Wiki moderator I am setting these aims for the community:

I added the Actor events page.

Come on people do you not know some actor events have unique terms for them?

We just broke 100 pages for the new wiki! :)
We've got a long way to go, but it's a solid start. Nice work everybody, keep it up!
Wow was only 91 yesterday. Someone has been busy.

I pretty much exclusively use the CSE, is there a section for that? I imagine it would be pretty small but I could contribute a little.
There, I linked the button on the main page.

I do not think that would work out too well.

@Exaken: Go
nice inventory pic but so far I do not see your vision realizing itself.

@DrSuperEvil: Go
I think his way looks better that the others, it's not as crowded on the page.
Still alive and kicking, just busy.
My guide to the trigger editor (still a work in progress)
Trouble is people looking at a data type to edit it do not want to flick between pages. They want it all there like a checklist.

Can anyone just edit the wiki like this one?
Yes, if they have a SC2mapster account.

I will be able to proofread and make corrections for most of them.
Do not forget to add the missing terms. Only managed to add the missing ones for events up to those beginning with ANI.

So as far as adding new tutorials goes, should we be using http://wiki.sc2mapster.com/Tutorials ?
I've always been looking at this page: http://www.sc2mapster.com/wiki/galaxy/tutorials/
@MaskedImposter: Go
Sorry about the late reply was rather busy.
That is correct, that upper link is the newer tutorial page and will eventually replace the old wiki one. I advise looking through the tutorial forum from the back and evaluating the validity of the tutorials.
