Forum:Wiki needs help!

Morning all! I wanted some help for quite sometime now and I have nowhere to turn except to turn to this place. I am looking for The Sims gamers who would like to edit and create templates like those that are located at Sims Wiki Site. I am also looking for administrators as well. Here is some details about the wiki that I started more than a year ago:


 * 1) Has 27 articles on site,
 * 2) Little to no edits consistently on a regular basis,
 * 3) Templates and articles lack proper wording and use of templates (and most to all articles ARE from Wikipedia articles),
 * 4) Willing to affiliate with other Sims wikis (and other sites) to help promote both sites,
 * 5) Rules and Regulations are lacking of the traditional wikis at this point of time (I know it is early but I like to have some form of rules and regulations in place), and finally
 * 6) This site is going to be Commercially Informative site (like Wikipedia but more like Disney's Online Worlds Wiki Site located here and the Sims Wiki sites. I would like to combine both Disney's Online Worlds and Sims Wikis together to make an informative site that can be edit at a moments notice.

If you like to know more, please leave a comment. I also wanted to mention that the gammers (players) to create stories and other fun related stuff that could be helpful to others.

 * I'd like to point out that Sundogs is not a sysop or anything on The Sims Wiki, nor has there been any decision as to whether there'll by any collaboration in this project from The Sims Wiki (pending discussion). We ARE flattered over the obvious compliments to our user base and templates however :) Duskey ( talk ) 13:53, August 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sundogs What site are you actually on about here and is it actually on Wikia as you talks about being Commercially informative which to me sounds promotional ? (and may not be compatible with Wikia 'terms of use'!). Sorry but 27 article after a year mainly from Wikipedia and alack of basic rules from somebody affiliate with a Legal wikimakes it sounds abit 'poor' that you cannot come up with the basic ground rules for the site even if C&P from a similar 'Game' based wiki. ( a customised version of the basic (std) wikia rules and a simple page defining the 'scope' of the wiki is all that is need, not a overcomplicated mish mash of rules, policies and manuals like on wikipedia that are argued over & cheery picked to suit the case by editors in disputes).

 * It is about The Sims games by MAXIS and Electronic Arts (or EA Games). What I meant by commercially informative is a place for reference like The Sims Wiki is at this point of time with some fun features added to the informative information (like player stories and/or speculation of The Sims 4 stuff, but, the first responded poster could tell you more in-depth on what that wiki does offer). My wiki will be eerie similar to that wiki but more fan interaction; like games shows (from real life or made up) for the Sims game and he/she/they will write a synopsis on that time span that happen, but, most important, it would be more of business and fun facts about the Sims. I hope my description helps. If not, comment with questions and I will, try to, answer them as honest as I can with out making anyone confused on the scope of the operation.

 * Edit -- Updated the one wikipedia article link. Sundogs American Law Wiki • Apple Wiki 18:42, August 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * The Sims Wiki already has fun features. The ones you mention, Player stories on each Sim page, we have a The Sims 4 predictions thread on our forum. If you want more fan interaction there's always The Sims Fanon Wiki which I know has a lot of player stories for people's own Sims and contests and whatnot, I'm sure you can make said gameshow there. Personally I don't see the need for such a wiki since there's already The Sims Wiki and The Sims Fanon Wiki. Duskey ( talk ) 03:23, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
