Glad everyone likes the main page changes. No point in having useless clutter.

Heh, that is what I have right now. I coudn't stand the few months without it down in Arkansas.

Yeah, a Wikia is a collaborative effort. It is a double-edged sword, you can easily have people cause problems that require you to fix up various things (especially when most people besides us seem to ignore all the formatting rules set in motion by the original Quake walkthroughs). On the other hand, they can get more done than one person does individually and help fill in missing gaps or mistakes. A lot of ideas I end up doing are influenced by something someone else did and thus the more input, the better.

I guess I can blame formatting rules on the fact that we don't really have anything stating them in a clear fashion, it is more something you learn by doing walkthroughs over and over. Doing the walkthroughs again, I hope I am doing all of them and haven't broken some created during my first run. Two things I try to do is to keep it repetitive to an extent, use similar phrasing that makes it easier to understand as a whole. I also try to write one or two functions per sentence, sometimes three or four if I can add a comma beforehand. Small rooms can be a lot more vague than large rooms. Ect, there are a lot of different things that just require getting used to the walkthroughs, but also requries the user to actually use the format and try to emulate it.

There are thousands of levels and mods for Quake, I think it is one of the most modded games of all time. This means that the larger the community, the more we can bang it out. Or you can leave it to me to get to in 2060. Plus, even if the formatting isn't right, at least they are placeholders that can satisfy the viewers until a real version can be made by somebody (basically how I see the new Armagon walkthroughs).
