I agree wholeheartedly with this. While documentation is a high priority for now, wikis have a way to taking a life of their own. In my view, anything that is a) related to OOTP and b) helpful to readers can and should be added.

In case anyone is wondering why there have been few updates to the wiki in the last couple days, I am currently in the process of buying my first house. Between that and work, I haven't had much time to devote to the wiki.

However, now that we have a working organizational structure for the OOTP 12 Documentation, I am hoping to start writing a large volume of documentation articles in the near future.

New to this. Has anyone previously made this suggestion, that the OOTP Wiki encourage the production of data tables for things like Ballpark data?

I am trying to put together data to input for minor league parks in the Pacific Northwest. Once I do so, I could publish what I am able to find, and others could add to it, correct it, or whatever. In the end, if enough people did this, the Wiki could become a tremendous reference that would save people a ton of time and effort.

After all, why have everyone who wants to incorporate, say, Avista stadium in Spokane, or Cheney Stadium in Tacoma, or Volcanoes stadium in the Salem, OR area, do all the research separately and each person who does it just has to do it all over again. Not to mention that having others scrutinize your work can only make it more accurate and eliminate obvious mistakes.

Thoughts?

I think that this is a great idea.

After a bit of a break from the site, I will be back making several updates to the wiki over the coming days. Please let me know if there are any areas you particularly want to see developed.

The nuts and bolts of editing various aspects of the game if at all possible. Cheers.

Sure thing. I'll try to post one or two wiki entries on that this week.

Never mind....

Wow the whole site looks so useful! I think I will read through it to get more help and suggestions for OOTP! Therefore I can learn a lot and don't annoy you with stupid questions in the forum. This is nice!

jmknpk2's idea with the back-up is very good. Then nothing gets lost (and losing all the information would be a pity).
