Forum:Editing Help pages at Help wiki

Does anyone ever edit at Help wiki? What have your experiences been? Do your edits get reverted? Do find Help wiki useful?

Just curious. Wikia seems to make a concerted effort to mostly neglect the Help wiki, but I was wondering if it is worth updating. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 28 Mar 2012 1:47 PM Pacific


 * I've only edited the shared help pages once or twice. Most of the time when I need to find information, I have to go to the Help wiki and search through the page histories from before Wikia staff axed everything. For instance, I recently needed some detailed information about the rich text editor beyond the simple basics of how to use it. I eventually found an old version of Help:Rich text editor from before Dopp redirected it to Help:Editing, claiming that the latter was a "clearer page." In my opinion, the usefulness of the help pages has decreased over time as staff adjusted them to focus on the RTE and removed information about how to do things with wiki markup. I've started moving the useful information to the local help pages on my own wiki so that I can be sure it won't disappear in the future. --Gardimuer { ʈalk } 03:21, March 29, 2012 (UTC)
