Databases and Wikis - Why Not ZAM?Follow

Karma isn't something I care about (unlike some). What I care about is how obtuse the tool was. I really wish I could remember what I was trying to add, but it took 3-4 times as long to edit here as opposed to the wiki. And linking other pages was a major pain.

I haven't tried since then, it wasn't worth the time and effort I put in. If that's changed, I don't mind spending days/weeks/months updating.

Okay, so clearly that second one works, but was there any way to know we had to do that? Or any reason, for that matter?

Reason: multiple games and to keep tooltips and everything else sane across N games that have a wiki for an item called 'long sword' or whatnot, they live in their own namespaces. That also tells the DB what to do with things.

How to know: well, until Pikko brought it to my attention, I actually had no idea we even had a wikify button. There's no help on it in markup help which didn't -er- help, heh. We're working on getting that corrected. Trick is figuring out how to make things like the namespaces for things you'd want to link findable/friendly.
