Hmm, I personally think it would be a nice thing if people all linked their profiles. They could do it as they update name, age, etc. Could also use that as a time for if the person wants to ask the ROG staff any final questions about their characters just in case they want to change anything last second.
Well, I don't know. I think it might be best to hear what other people's thoughts are on this issue.
I'm down for it. I don't think it harms anything.

I tried to link the profile before, however, it never works. It always says error.
Had a few thoughts on the wiki after talking a bit with Christoph on the subject. He probably has some more thoughts on it but I'll leave up to him if he wants to mention it or not.
Anyways, for the wiki, shouldn't pages be judged based on length and quality to encourage people to spend time making sure it is great instead of just throwing together a bunch of stuff for the experience. Maybe not a full judging used by quests/battles but more of a quick judging to make sure the content is good and also to take in account how long the entry is.
Also, it might be good to split standard cannon material from player lore and stuff. That way newbies won't get confused between the two of them.
+1 to the splitting of player and canon information. Perhaps a graphic indicating an official Althanas Canon like a seal of approval? (Go Luned!)
+.5 to judging all wiki entries.
If player material is separated it will allow more flexibility in presentation. Canon material should look formal and professional. Player material should be any range of contribution just like the various ranges in technique and skill of the writer. However, I believe there should be a collaboration between player and staff should something want to be adopted to official canon. In that respect, there can be a workshop to review for errors, flow, presentation, and content.

Wiki pages will only receive EXP during the shutdown. This is a non-issue.

I think wiki entries should still get experience after the shutdown is over. Otherwise, people will probably not write much for it. The experience doesn't have to be much, but I think there should be a bit of a reward to encourage people to write them.
Or at least a few days afterwards, as I would like to, but don't have access to my character sheet, as I would like to add that in there.

At that, it takes a while to do it. For those people who STARTED theirs during the shutdown, as in have 500 words or more, get the full 500/250 EXP, and after the shutdown, keep it up but reduce it to 50 per stub, and 100 per full article, at that point, whoever looks over it can add/take up to[say, 25] exp depending on quality, and can make comments. We all win, and you guys get an incentive to write, simultaneously improving the canon. Anyone here think this would be fair?
