English PSO2 wiki?

[Pyrii]

I think it'd be good to have an english wiki resource as Japanese wikis are very sketchy at the moment and it'd be nice to have an english-language resource for the technical details of the game.

I had a momentary thought of trying to set this up myself and then realised that'd be dumb and wondered if any of the major bodies have tried already, like PSUpedia or PSO-World. So far I am disappoint.

So is there or will there be a demand for an English wiki for JP PSO2? pretty much like PSUpedia, giving information on items, missions and stats. Also listing Japanese names and their English translations. But also like PSUpedia meaning that if there's an Western version, the data should hopefully be applied identically with just name and description updates.

There's loads of great info out there and on these forums, but we have to agree that getting to specific information is done better on a wiki.

That would be really useful, especially if everyone helps out and contributes. I found the Japanese Wikis useful when trying to look up an item at the shop (It's kinda stupid that you have to know the name of the item you're looking for to search and browse a shop... they should change that)

So yeah, I support the idea for an English wiki.

Are you talking about players shops? You can pick categories like weps, armor, and the exact types before searching. Also you can pick the minimum star rarity, as well as price. I think it's fairly easy to find a certain wep or find new ones that way.

hmm... I guess the interface just wasn't very intuitive. I tried searching without putting an item name in and it came up with no results so I figured it was a required field. Same with needing a player's name to look for shops...

I never had any problems with it myself, I even whipped up a quick guide:

I'd prefer a db myself since I've seen so many wiki's get sabotaged, so if we went that route I'd like it to be closely moderated.

lol i was going to say this. I never had trouble finding what i was looking for, just filtered out what i wasnt looking for and found it.

im sure if we get enough people to support it we can make it happen. i would love to help out with this.

[Rei-San]

Me too. Wikis shouldn't be hard to make, And i want a background in helping with websites.

As I said, I'd love to help start it, but I don't think I should be the Owner/Founder. I know my way around Media inside-and-out but I have my caveats which usually makes me not a very good owner :P

Hell I tried to start a wiki for Digimon Masters Online, and that ended up abandoned.

So yeah, I totally want to contribute, but I don't think I'd be the best owner. I can template, do mediawiki backend, and give info from my playtime.

Just so you guys know, Project Oracle/The PSOracle is in the works right now.

(It's being done by the "PSUpedia guys.")
