User blog comment:JeloJellyJam/Let's Refurbish The Wiki!/@comment-25029082-20191009140837

It's actually nice to see some new users planning to come on in, but I do agree that the wiki does need some major changes.

"And don't even get me started on stories. Now don't get me wrong, I love stories! I even have plans for new stories! The problem is, the wiki is overloaded with them, and they are drowning out what little information we have about IaLR. Out of the 1,272 pages this wiki has (at this time of writing), a good chunk of them are stories."

To be fair, I can see why stories have taken a good portion of the wiki's pages. For one thing, seeing that most stories are unfinished isn't a good sign; technically incomplete stories could be considered a redlink. It's not the best to read a character's origin or some fun plot only to abruptly end.

In general, we should take care of not only the redlinks but also some stories. We could also link relevant stories onto each character's pages so users could read more about a specfic character; but only if they are completed. And while sadly some stories of inactive or retired users can't really be completed like The Planted AKEE's stories without having to utilize the inactive user's characters (meaning that if the user comes back and sees their story finished in the way they didn't want to, they could be upset), it's not really good to have the story end in the middle of the climax.

"Most pages aren't really...well...good looking. In fact, some of them look ugly, some of them look outdated, and there are even some which barely recieved any major updates since the beginning of this wiki!"

This can easily be resolved by reviewing older episodes and experiencing if there's any development of the character.

"The categories are a mess. There's duplicate categories, unnecessary categories, categories that are no longer needed...it's clogging up the whole place."

I could easily take care of adding some categories, although I'm not sure if I'm allowed to modify the categories of story pages. If I can, I can get started a bit.
