The wiki that almost no one notices
Hello, I'm gonna write about the Wesnoth wiki, since I feel that I am the only one who's updating it - the latest topic being "Northern Rebirth" dialogue - while almost all the other users activities last in early 2010s.
Can someone else help updating BfW wiki to the present day? https://wiki.wesnoth.org/StartingPoints

I read the Wesnoth wiki. I support your efforts in keeping it up to date.

Re: The wiki that almost no one notices
I've read the wiki. Having a complete timeline of Wesnoth history is especially cool and campaign dialogues are nice! I don't know how often it needs to be updated, but I appreciate any and all effort you've put into it.
Re: The wiki that almost no one notices
Same here.
Re: The wiki that almost no one notices
I edit the wiki occasionally; my starting point is usually the ReferenceWML page since that's what I usually use it for (as a reference for working on the WML of UMC). If you check the Recent Changes page you'll see that it does in fact still get a few edits per day.

Re: The wiki that almost no one notices
I try to help maintain and update wikipedia in regards to some articles that I
feel need improvement. Mostly just via comments, but about 1 out of 100
changes I also make on main articles. I tend to comment my changes in
the discussion-page.
I never used the wesnoth wiki. I have no idea whether I even could modify
it. Having a unified login would be very nice, e. g. I log in here, and could
then also modify the wiki (perhaps past a threshold of posts or something).
Someone could add a link called "Wiki" on the very top. Many people won't
bother to search for it, so having it appear on top menu here on the forum
can also help. Raising the barrier of entry is in general not a good idea -
you will lose out on potential contributors.

Re: The wiki that almost no one notices
A long time ago, the wiki used to allow anyone to edit pages, but unfortunately that resulted in a huge amount of spam. Now it is necessary follow the wiki account registration instructions here.
