In my time here I have seen a good amount of negative comments on the wiki and not a ton of positive ones. As such, I will be documenting our work here so the community can better understand how much effort all the authors put into it.
Feel free to join in if you are on author.
If you want to know more about authoring feel free to contact me via skype or PM.
I was originally going to document the last 1000 changes, but that's a lot and would take time that could be better spent editing the wiki. So instead i will document the last day and a half recorded in the last one thousand changes:
I've tried adding in a full description of the Colonial Remnant, and all IMG ships, but I can't seem to get the hang of the way wikipedia coding works..

From what I've seen Hack is probably the biggest contributor to the wiki. Me and someone else went and spent hours fixing broken links, making new pages, etc about a month ago.. Reduced the 'Wanted pages' category from some 500 to 230. Haven't done much recently except the Kiretsu page.
There are no 'Featured Articles' or 'Random Article' on the front page.
Often the random facts or articles can start a chain of searching through the Wiki, following link after link to get the entire story behind something but you have to go looking most of the time for a good article (As in not something about commodities etc or whatever using the random article link on the menu) on the Disco wiki.
I don't know the code for the random articlesnks on the front page, hence the question and not action.
Total: 17 different pages. 4 Authors. 3828 characters (not counting deletions or changes that do not register as a character count.
Note: This thread is NOT to say who does the most work, or to compare people - We are all in it together.. It is to give the readers an indication of how hard the Wiki editors actually work on it. If you see someone complaining about the wiki, then direct them to this thread.

@Linkus - Given the status of some of the, uh "articles" I think it had best be a featured article that is chosen by a person. I think there might be a template or something already existing for this... not sure though. Anyway, we'll figure it out, and i added you to the wiki chat so we can figure it out together, wasnt that nice of me?

Let me know what you want added and I can do it?

Featured articles would require a vote, and this would be a good idea, assuming enough people participate in voting.
