I feel this needs to have more attention to it and have discussion boards for it to get the Wiki active as it could be.

I stated that it should be used to host builds of NeoLemmix from its past to its present for archival sake, so have a thread of finding lost builds if anyone should have them.

It should go over all of its tools, both obsolete and active, etc.

A dedicated board to discuss what should go on the board should be added, I said before that topics discussing articles and feedback on how and what should be documented, changed, so on and so forth. It should help bring more attention to it.

Also, A Pinned Link to the Wiki, and how to access editing the wiki should a new page be made if possible.

How do you suggest we proceed?

I did suggest making a new dedicated board for it, something like
NeoLemmix Wiki Discussion
A project documenting the website of NeoLemmix, The board is for discussing documentation within Neolemmix

Pinned Threads for
NeoLemmix Wiki itself
Archiving old Builds and old tools

And allowing people the post suggestions and the like for new pages like say Tutorials for set making and such complete with visual examples if any could be supplied for the tutorials

There's hardly enough interest for a thread, let alone a board.  And even if there were, that's what the "Talk" pages of the wiki are for.

If you think there should be some page on the wiki, you don't need to post about it; you can just make the page.  It's a wiki.

Yeah, this.

The wiki is likely to be one of those things that if we just start it, it will happen without need for much discussion. Just go for it.

I'll add to this that I'm prepared to help by proofreading the content first if quality control is a concern.

I probably don't have time to write any pages myself at the moment, but I am happy to edit others' work if needs be.

Okay, so I'm kind of feeling like this isn't going to go very far. So far, the changes made seem to be me uploading (then deleting) a test image, and Silken creating a page about an entirely different engine.

We'll give it a bit longer, but if there really doesn't seem to be much interest, I won't leave it up permanently.

I can't see Silken's page on the linked Wiki.

Currently, you can get to it by clicking the "Random page" link, since (aside from the main page and special pages like login) it's the only page that exists.

If we do end up keeping the wiki can you add the MonoBook theme please?

A NeoLemmix wiki and its only page so far is a Lix article. Got to laugh, I suppose! :crylaugh:

In fairness to Silken, the page is a decent start.

Clearly though, we need to add more content to the wiki to justify it. I would love to help, but I really can't devote any time to it at the moment, I've got so much else going on. I can help to edit pages if other people create them, that's about as much as I can promise for now.
