Yeah I went on a delete fest this morn. Including other stuff. My mighty right fist is slightly redder than it was a few hours ago.

Now we must have a set of laws on what pages are allowed, the rest being disallowed. I'll start and you guys will give me additional stuff to allow.

WHAT PAGES SHOULD BE ALLOWED :
-Anything that is directly related to the game itself : tournaments, notable robots, AI, tutorials, files in the game.
-Memes that are directly descended from RA2 (such as SFTW, Rage III'ing, razor guy run, advice emergency, advice big dog), but they should be in the bot's page itself to avoid page overload
-Members that have contributed significantly to RA2, or failing that, had a large impact on the community
-Terms that are FREQUENTLY used on the forums and that are directly RA2 related.
-Important subsections of the forum, which should have their own category

WHAT PAGES SHOULD SPECIFICALLY NOT BE ALLOWED :
-Anything that is not directly related to RA2 or the forum in itself - this is RA2wiki after all and we already have page overload syndrome
-Specific threads on the forum - see page overload syndrome

RULE ZERO :

Keep it simple ! If something is overcomplicated, simplify it without losing important content. Repetition is not necessary.

Any other ideas ?

yea i think i made a gtm sections category that needs a few more new pages to fill it up but ill probably get around to that at some time soon, tournaments (aka thier process) page should be coming soon from me along as some other stuff

-Terms that are FREQUENTLY used on the forums and that are directly RA2 related.
lol @ gigafrost

i think any file extensions used by the game could be on the wiki (.bot .py .gmf <-- i think we have a .gmf page already tho)

If Abraham Lincoln is ever discussed to extent on this forum and then put on the WIKI ..... I will kick your butt if you delete it!

If you spam information about abraham lincoln on the wiki with out reason ...... I will kick your butt!

You are already close to getting your butt kicked for being stupid!

Do you realize the large number of useless information these rules allow?

I deleted all of the 15-20 pages that Gigafrost made on his ELBITE stuff because there were useless, and besides ELBITE did not happen. Nobody will need all that information. I kept the main elbite page as a reminder and a place to eventually put all the ELBITE rules and stuff.

ANY page referring to ANYTHING or MEMBER of ANY forum pertaining to robot combat INCLUDING pages about memes and anything that is KNOWLEDGE about ANYTHING that may pertain to this or ANY other robotics forum is TO NOT BE DELETED!

Soo according to your rules, we can put one pages for every member that ever registered here and on the old forums and RFSHW (that makes several thousands), one page on each gametechmods thread (two or three more thousands), one page for each gametechmods meme (going to hundreds for now, will be a thousand soon), and maybe five pages fully explaining the size of my ego ?

Not to mention one page about every spam post made, ever. Yes, your rules allow this.

That will bloat the wiki ridiculously, make it more difficult to manage and update, and generally annoy these who rely on the random page button to find stuff. also, the sheer size of the stuff will make it more difficult to find pages.

It will not even be that useful considering most information stored will be useless.

So nope boss, these rules your claim as right are honestly poorly thought out and I am not gonna delete anything, unless someone convinces me of the utility and pertinence of a page I deleted.

mmmm OK acams, lets say (for example) that i make a thread on good ole abey in playground RIGHT NOW, does that not make it part of ra2 'knowledge' and make it deserving of its own wiki page ? by your logic it does, and it would add yet another turd to the endless mountain of sh** (ie all these damn useless/redundant pages absolutely NOONE cares about, seriously who gives a flying << bovine buttocks biscuits :) >> if mario (not super mario) competed in bbeans 2 ? if they want to find a bot someone built they can just use the search function on the wiki) we already have going. i dont care if this post provokes you to "jump though the internet and kick my butt" or any of that BS (lel i is gonna get b& xd), just stating my thoughts on this terrible handling of a wiki

and if youre not going to unlock that page can someone who can edit locked pages add [[Category:Robot Arena Series‎]] in there somewhere please ?

This isn't an attack, but have you seen every single page on the wiki? If not, you can't really say that it's 100% fact, for sure.

No, you guys are being idiots .... I didn't say you have to make it .... I just said don't delete it!

If we have a moron making those dumb pages they will be blocked, but making a page that YOU may think is dumb is not for YOU to delete...... and DAMN sure not up for AS to delete.

Like I told EVERYBODY....... if the information is there, then leave it there.
