Hey guys, I'm starting/putting together an actual wiki for this site. No offense to the current wiki system, but it's rather unorganized and there are broken links everywhere, and certain links are redundant or lead to placeholder pages.
If anyone wants to check it out or help fill the wiki with pages, the link is:
http://sc2mapster.wikia.com/wiki/SC2Mapster_Wiki
For people that don't know how to make a tutorial or are just plain struggling with wiki markup, check this page out:
http://sc2mapster.wikia.com/wiki/How_To_Create_A_Tutorial
I'm hard at work trying to fill the site with the information it needs, but I would appreciate it if anyone wanted to stop by and help. :)
Edit: I added a tutorial on how to create a tutorial, so people who are overwhelmed by the wiki markup have a bit of a leg to stand on.
Edit the Second: Wow, guys. Only been a couple of hours, and I've already got people streaming in to help make tutorials. I can't wait to see what the wiki will like like in a few days!
@Abion47: Go
If people are willing to help wither create tutorials or port over some existing ones, or help create some of the main topics, I will be eternally grateful.
I've got quite a few tutorials. Let me know how I can add them to the wiki and I will. :D
@zeldarules28: Go
All you have to do is go to http://sc2mapster.wikia.com/wiki/Tutorials and create a page for your tutorial. It helps if you know the wiki editing syntax, but it's absolutely not required.
Could you add an image to http://sc2mapster.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_make_attacks_burn_down_trees ?
I don't have an account so I'm unable to :/

Edit: Nevermind. Got an account now.
Also: First spam already. Slaydon you friggin frog!
Dibs on Effects! I'll see whether i can do something on em tommorow :) I'll mostly likely just copy a list of fields from the editor itself, then just explain each field. Maybe add some examples as well, etc. If anyone has suggestions on what i should include, tell me and i'll do my best :)
Added some of my tutorials, but I just hit 'add page' instead of putting them under tutorials.. :(
@zeldarules28: Go
That's okay. You can still add them in tutorials. (If you forgot what they were called, you can go to the top right corner of the screen and click on My Contributions.)
@s3rius: Go
As long as they keep the spam to their own user pages, it shouldn't be a problem.
Dunno if it matters but on the wiki I made myself 'backstab117' because I hate the name zeldarules28 but can't change it on sc2mapster... >.<
Anyway I got all 5 of my intro tutorials up on the wiki...I might add the other 4 later.
@zeldarules28: Go
No problem on the name. I sort of figured that was you anyway.
If anyone can help at all, I'm planning on first getting the information in the API Docs at the top of the screen ported to the wiki. (At least all of the relevant information. There's a lot of obsolete info and tutorials dating back to beta times.)
@zeldarules28: Go
I've put up a tutorial on how to create navbars for tutorial series'. You might want to check it out, so you can add navbars to your tutorials.
http://sc2mapster.wikia.com/wiki/How_To_Create_A_Tutorial#NavBar_for_Tutorial_Series
At the end of the day (8 hours ago), I did the count up, and the wiki already has 15 tutorials! You guys are so awesome, it's...<sob>...just so great... :D
I'm hard at work making the trigger API, and I'm getting barebones laid down at the moment. Conditions is done, and all the events are in place to get their info, as well as the actions from -General to AI Advanced. Would appreciate it if anyone could stop by and plug in the info for a couple the triggers I've already added. I'm not asking for eternal loyalty to the project, just stop by and jot down what you can in 10 or 20 minutes. If I have to do this totally alone, it will take me forever.
@MathiastIsOP: Go
"Pot. Are you there? This is kettle, over."
Thanks for the free bump, btw.
I'm gonna bump it again, because all good subjects are now on page 2345245.
The only problem with that wiki is that it's owned by Wikia and is not on our site. What is wrong with our wiki, exactly?
@Sixen: Go
I am going to agree with Sixen.
http://wiki.sc2mapster.com/galaxy/main-page/, our sc2mapster wiki, looks pretty good.
I think the issue is letting newcomers know that our wiki is a perfect place to get started with map making. I've been checking up the official forums and you can see posts like, "what is a trigger" or " to save a custom map?".
What I do like with that new wiki is that it uses pretty much the regular wikipedia outline. It's pretty good and easy to overlook.
Our wiki on the other hand is harder to maneuver around in, and formatted with horrible wikiCreole.
Its coverd with ads, EWWW, and those sponsorship things? OW
