    We need some help with the current CastleStory Wiki, and we have two options

    One) Delete the current one, start over.
    Two) Spend our time completely fixing up the current wiki

    - We're going to make it so you have to be approved to work on the Wiki, it's just too early for anything else. -

    To be part of the wiki moderation and content team, you must understand that the Wiki is not for "Speculation", a Wiki is for "Information" so, solid, known facts.

    You must also have some understanding of how a Wiki works, formatting and guidelines.
    If you don't know how it works, i suggest you go read up on it before hand

    If you want to be part of it, comment on this post with this form filled out:

    On another note: Almost at 500K, That's great news for Castle Story!
    Even better news is that people who can only use Paypal should be able to do so soon

    In regards to the poll I'd say do whatever is easier.
    I would sign up for the team but I don't really have all that much time.

    Sometime in the shadows as guest , 2 days as member.
    Did love to write something about corruptrons and stuff that others haven´t.
    Nothing so special , only an average guy who likes to support the wiki.

    I think it should not be limited to registered Users to post, thats easier to control but less fun and atrractive for occasional players who did find something interesting and wanted to write something down. I wrote something about corruptrons in another wiki and now im not sure which wiki is the right one Oo. Also i agree with the only facts rule but i rather read something with 4 sentences and not so founded, than only "little is know." People want to know the facts but also a little sidestory that is additional info which is yet to be proven or unproven.

    There is the "official" wiki : http://wiki.castlestoryonline.com/wiki/Main_Page with 7 articels,
    and the other http://www.castlestorywiki.com/Main_Page with 31 articels.

    Also if you do delete the wiki at least copy the uploaded things such as pictures and articels.

    How long you've been on the forum: Guest since I kicked the project (about a week ago), member for 2-3 days

    Why you think you're the right fit: I love supporting community projects! I'm a volunteer moderator for the Chumby forums (Chumbies are wonderful little devices manufactured by the now-defunct Chumby industries); the forum is now solely maintained by myself and an ex-employee who volunteers his time to keep things running for the community.

    What you bring that's special to you: For a wiki, my grammar and spelling are near-impeccable and I am capable of understanding translations from ESL users and can help such users clean up their contributions to read properly (and if asked, will happily volunteer explanations of certain idioms and nuances of the English language to help them understand why something should be written a certain way).
  9. CastleStory.lt New Member

    How long you've been on the forum: Since Now.
    Why you think you're the right fit: Because i''m Lithuanian Castle Story community administrator. I think, that Lithuania need lithuanian wiki. I will add link to menu (www.CastleStory.lt). I could translate english>lithuanian guides very well.
    What you bring that's special to you: Lithuanian wiki.

    How long you've been on the forum: 6 and 1/2 months
    Why you think you're the right fit: I have the potential to right a decent informational text, and I am very familiar with the creatures, etc. of Castle Story
    What you bring that's special to you: I have experience with creating/editing wiki pages, and I don't have that much of a life, so I can do something with the wiki whenever needed. :p(And I've seen just about every video at least twice)

    Forum Name: Holylifestar

    How long you've been on the forum: Basically right after it was created I joined. I later stopped posted and started lurking. I am starting to become more active now that the kickstarter is halfway through.

    Why you think you're the right fit: I've edited and contributed to many wikis, I use to be an active user of 'neoseeker' a gaming website that had many wikis, and I liked organizing most of them if they started looking bad.





    What you bring that's special to you: Patience and dedication. Once I start a project I stick to it in till it is done and fine tuned. And if I was a moderator of the wiki I would do the same. I'd make sure the wiki looked presentable and accurate 100% of the time, and I have knowledge of how to edit wikis, I know all the codes and how to create/edit pages.

    Lots of great submissions so far, i've got my work cut out to decide who all is fit for a role on the team.

    Note to lastbricktron: While the wiki would be locked up for now to a team only, once some time has gone by and the Wiki is properly buttoned up we plan on opening it up to the public, we just want a good base and team down first.
  13. Vampirus Active Member

    Forum Name: Vampirus
    How long you've been on the forum: Since it was started I believe.
    Why you think you're the right fit: I have plenty of time to kill, and I am more than capable of getting any amount of factual information from within the game through playing, or by adamantly searching throughout the internet (then verifying it against as much as possible). (Edit: I'm a $25 backer so I will have access to the prototype as well as the Beta, so I can bring a lot of in game stuff to the wiki.)
    What you bring that's special to you: The desire to learn as much as humanly possible about the game, how things work within it, and everything else pertaining to it.

    Forum Name: Inferndragon
    How long were you on the forum: Since Jan 11, 2012... though i found out about the game a week before that.
    Why do you think your the right fit: I over analyse things and tend to contribute to wikis pretty easily. Plus if i am really bored I will probably add every entity (enemies/bricktrons) plus information on strategies.
    What you bring that is special to you: I am going to become a game designer in the future and just got on a university course. So my life will revolve around games and this will become good experience with wikis (though i'm used to contributing)
  16. So when do we find out who makes it?
