New Glitch Strategy Wiki

As alluded to in threads from this forum and the Glitch Strategy group, I've been setting up a wiki for alpha testers to use as a resource. The idea is that all knowledge about anything in the game could go here, from simple things like how to find grain to more complex things like recipes that include items that require other recipes, how much favor is generated when an item is donated to a shrine, and other stuff that's posted in the Glitch Strategy group so it's easier to sift through.

I'm looking for a few good Glitchians to help fill out the wiki, at least to start out. We need some entries from each "type" of thing in game: streets, giants, regions, vendors, street spirits, items, skills, achievements, and animals (and anything else I'm forgetting). Once we have entries, we can start standardizing these entries and defining exactly what information should be contained in each one.

I already have Bingobar on board, and he and I have some ideas of people we would like to help out. But if you're interested, then reply in this thread with your e-mail address and I will be in touch. Desire to help our community is a must -- this will be a great resource for everyone playing. Wiki experience would be helpful, but not necessary.

  • i'll help with it... but as someone who has posted info lists in glitch strategy, be prepared for a lot of effort to be made obsolete by the developers, and information becomes more easily accessed through the game itself.

  • I'm in, but should set up a standard now and save a lot of editing time. A bunch will probably be obsolete but the basics might stay.

  • Thanks everyone who has volunteered. Now that we can belong to more than three Glitch groups, I may start a private group for those of us who want to work on the wiki, rather than communicate by e-mail or on the wiki itself. Be on the lookout for an invite.

  • Apparently the max # of groups is now 7... tough choices!
    Posted 2 years ago by EgIantine Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ooh. Well, if anyone really can't drop a group for mine, let me know and we can try to figure something out. :)

  • If you want to make a strategy wiki then just use www.lurkmore.com. Register and add pages such as Category:Glitch for the main page and go from there.

  • Add me on too! Kate.belda@gmail.com. I had made a sppreadsheet during the last testing that had all the vendors listed by street. I know a lot of it will change but it might be useful.

  • Thanks all for your interest. A few Glitchians and I are working on formatting and creating templates right now. I'll be sure to create you all accounts as soon as we get that worked out and need people to add all the information that can.

  • Um, why not just post a URL of the wiki? That is, after all, what wikis are pretty much about.
    Posted 24 months ago by Plurp Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Plurp: If we opened it up to everyone right now, people would just add stuff at random and there would be no cohesion between it all. The current testers and I are standardizing the format of each type of entry so that it all looks good and things have all of the information they need.

    I'm with you -- I want this thing opened up to everyone so we can get all of the information in there. But I and the other testers wouldn't feel comfortable making this available yet without laying that foundation so it all looks great and works.

  • Makes sense, Herp. Thanks!

  • I'd like to help as well. hesselink ( at ) gmail.com. I also work at a startup, and we develop a product that might be a good fit for this data (http://silkapp.com). I'd like to try that as well, if you don't mind.

  • There is content at lurkmore.
    Posted 23 months ago by Johnny Subscriber! | Permalink
  • heh. multiple competing wikis.

    Eglantine already has bots set up to autoseed entries in the glitch strategy group and auto-add images and whatnot.

    I'm not sure what this lurkmore offers over that. it seems to be a 4chan wiki with a "camwhores" entry?

    also, if lurkmore is public, it probably violates the NDA we agreed to as testers.
    Posted 23 months ago by striatic Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yeah, the lurkmore.com link is definitely NSFW - can we find some other location?
    Posted 23 months ago by Xupa Subscriber! | Permalink
  • WTF. If you're at work, better not click any link on that Wiki.
    Posted 23 months ago by Hburger Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Xupa. you can request to volunteer on the glitch strategy wiki, or wait until it is set up a but more and us open for public editing.
    Posted 23 months ago by striatic Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Lurkmore is a terrible idea, and goes against the NDA agreement you signed, Johnny. Please stop.

    I finally am back from break, and I have a new computer to replace the one that exploded. I'll see you all over at the Strategy Wiki. Let's start getting templates together!

  • There should be articles on each type of vendor and which streets they can be found on.

  • Hamfist - Yeah, it's MediaWiki.
