View Full Version : New wiki for pso2 (Something people were speaking of)

Hey, so for awhile I notice people saying "I want to edit the info on Cirnopedia" "We could just make a new wiki". Since my hobby is playing with whatever coding. I decided to try out one that was free and already had a layout pretty much.

Here is a lot of info on the coding used: http://www.wikidot.com/doc:wiki-syntax

Here is the actual wiki, I just started today so a lot of things are blank and there is still more I need to put up: http://rappypedia.wikidot.com/start


I need a favicon to put up and an 150x150 image for the top left corned. So if you have an idea for one, toss it to me, or if you can make one go ahead!

This wiki will enable people to edit it theirselves.


Things that will not happen on this wiki:

*Your own userpages
*Random Pictures that won't be useful


Anyone who wants to do like Templates(I don't want to bother doing those and figuring that out) let me know and show what can be done. Try to make a weapon page design, unit, costume, etc.

What do you guys think of it?

Here's some of what the wiki coding will look like mostly:
[spoiler-box]


[[<]]
[!-- Heading --]
[]
[] [] Hunter [] [] Ranger [] [] Force [] [] Fighter [] [] Gunner [] [] Techer [] [] Braver [] [] All Classes [] []


[] [] [[[Swords]]] [] [] [[[Assault Rifles]]] [] [] [[[Rods]]] [] [] [[[Twin Daggers]]] [] [] [[[Twin Machineguns]]] [] [] [[[Wands]]]
[] [] [[[Katanas]]] [] [] [[[Gunslashes]]] [] []


[] [] [[[Partizans]]] [] [] [[[Launchers]]] [] [] [[[Talises]]] [] [] [[[Double Sabers]]] [] [] [[[Assault Rifles]]] [] [] [[[Talises]]] [] [] [[[Bullet Bows]]] [] [] [] []


[] [] [[[Wired Lances]]] [] [] [] [] [] [] [[[Knuckle| Knuckles]]] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []

[]
[[/<]]

[/spoiler-box]

The coding is actually really easy once you get the hang of it.

Alternatively, you could pay a visit to the JP wiki.

While JP wikis are almost always a better source for pertinent information, it's a relatively large barrier to entry. There's something that feels secure about a non-foreign source of information.

Let's be real, JP wiki is pretty bleh when it comes to formatting and for us non-japanese speakers, Google Translate does a less than amazing job at translating some of the more intricate parts of the wiki.

I think an editable wiki is a great idea for the NA community as a whole.

People have issues with the JP wiki's appearance? Y'all motherfuckers weren't around when the internet was that cool new thing were you? Every webpage looked like that, even official ones. Shit, I still remember the official Lego website (and how excited we were that it actually existed).

Anyway, Cirno's issues could be resolved if, as I said, he brought on a few other people to maintain it. A wiki isn't something you run and operate completely solo unless your neckbeard is large enough to weave a raft out of to float off of a desert island.

Feb 12, 2014, 10:53 AM
I personally think the JP Wiki is the easiest thing to find your way around. Everything is ordered into relevant sections and nothing is particularly out of place.

I don't use Google Translate though, maybe the page formatting breaks itself or something when you use it... ?

DJcooltrainer
Feb 12, 2014, 10:55 AM
I would be in favor of an English wiki with user generated content. There's a few sites out there, but they're mostly incomplete or out of date. The JP wiki is fine for a lot of things, but most of us aren't native Japanese speakers. I always end up spending a lot of time looking up kanji and words I don't understand, which is great for improving my understanding of the language, but not so great when I need to look something up quickly. And we all know that Google Translate is not the best with Japanese.

Even if Cirnopedia does managed to get more people on board and has things up-to-date, I always think it's a good idea to have multiple sources to use for information. It's always nice to be able to cross reference information from different sources, imo.

gigawuts
Feb 12, 2014, 11:23 AM
Sure, but since it's all originally in japanese I expect there to be a lot of info borrowing from other wikis.

Which is why it's better to just learn to navigate swiki. It's not even like it's hard. Half of us started playing this game before the english patch existed and figured shit out via context - images, learning to recognize a few (maybe four to ten) japanese characters, and then doing the rest via the basic human ability to remember shit.

You're playing a japanese game on a japanese server with japanese players. I'm not telling you to learn the entire language, I'm telling you to learn how to ask what time it is and where the bathrooms are.

I studied 4 years of Japanese in high school as my required language class, and 2 additional years in college. It's not like I'm totally ignorant when it comes to reading Japanese, but there's a lot of kanji, as well as phrase/internet lingo I don't really recognize. That, and I've been out of school for several years and my Japanese is probably pretty rusty.

Yes, we can all visit the JP wiki and figure out mostly anything. But for many it is a time consuming process. I'm all for improving access to information for all people, but that's just me I guess. There are people who are a little more intimidated by playing a game in a different language, and having multiple resources for learning about the game can be very helpful.

Now if we had an english version of the swiki, don't tell you guys wouldn't use it, come on, be serious. If it's updated faster than Cirnopedia, I'm sure people will use the english wiki.

I personally think the JP Wiki is the easiest thing to find your way around. Everything is ordered into relevant sections and nothing is particularly out of place.

I don't use Google Translate though, maybe the page formatting breaks itself or something when you use it... ?

Kind of. Chrome's thing breaks all the navigation stuff really bad, and GT ruins the sorted columns since it likes to translate "10" as "ten"

Other than that, it's a website. With information. Well organized, and tidy. Fast and reliable updates and comments.

Only thing Cirnopedia has over it is English names (which are not always consistent with the in-game patch) and lolis.

It looks like wikidot engine has no sortable tables by default, so we'd have to use external javascript api to do the job. I came up with this, not sure if everyone can read javascript. I don't think it's the best approach for a user friendly wiki:




<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["table"]});
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawTable);
function drawTable() {
var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();

data.addColumn('number', 'Rarity');
data.addColumn('string', 'Icon');
data.addColumn('string', 'Item Name');
data.addColumn('string', '名前');
data.addColumn('number', 'R-ATK');
data.addColumn('number', '+10');
data.addColumn('number', 'Req.');
data.addColumn('string', 'Latent');

data.addRows(2);

data.setCell(0, 0, '1', '1★'); //Rarity
data.setCell(0, 1, '<img src="http://something.com/Rifle.png" alt="image" title="Rifle" height="30" width="30">'); //Icon
data.setCell(0, 2, 'Rifle'); //Item Name
data.setCell(0, 3, 'ライフル'); //JP Name
data.setCell(0, 4, '79 '); //ATK
data.setCell(0, 5, '118 '); //ATK +10
data.setCell(0, 6, '1', '1 R-ATK'); //Req
data.setCell(0, 7, '--'); //Latent

data.setCell(1, 0, '1', '1★'); //Rarity
data.setCell(1, 1, '<img src="http://something.com/Sniper.png" alt="image" title="Sniper" height="30" width="30">'); //Icon
data.setCell(1, 2, 'Sniper'); //Item Name

data.setCell(1, 5, '159'); //ATK +10
data.setCell(1, 6, '57', '57 R-ATK'); //Req
data.setCell(1, 7, '--'); //Latent

//....

data.sort([{column: 0, desc:false}, {column: 4}]); //sort on rarity by default, then by base ATK
var table = new google.visualization.Table(document.getElementById ('weapontable_div'));

Has anyone just simply tried contacting the cirnopedia guy and seeing if he would let other people help with it?

I don't know if they're editing everything manually. I could make a page to upload and edit content, but i get the sense that it's likely already in place.


I've considered looking into making a tamper/greasemonkey script to automatically translate a lot of information (column information, stat terms, item names, etc.), but I cba. I bet someone around here could be, though. Maybe Kion?

Aida's on it. Though you'd pretty much be better off making a new wiki in the first place. A javascript extension would simply be: replace "ソード" with "sword", and then do that for every item manually, and do it in a way that doesn't mess up the page. If you have everything stored on the client for the extension, then you'd have to wait for the person managing it to provide an update. So it would more than likely turn into a situation where people are waiting on the person managing it to update it (the same predicament we are in now).

My suggestion would be to go to the Japanese wiki, hit edit, copy everything 1:1 and then use that as a base to start from and then replace, edit and adjust accordingly.

True, but it's still a better alternative than dropbox. You could work the system and make multiple accounts, if you reeaallly didn't want to pay that badly. You can get actual unlimited image hosting these days for just a few $$ a month, tho. Hell, I could easily put that up myself.

Okay, so, I didn't want to post it yet because it's not really in a presentable form, but I also didn't expect someone to start yet another wiki using the same approach as with the last 50 tries, but here goes. x:

http://pso2.bplaced.net/w/index.php

I've been working on the structure for a proper wiki since the last thread was posted, but it's not really done yet because there's quite a lot to do. Stuff I have started with are weapons (example: http://pso2.bplaced.net/w/index.php?title=Traitor_Linear) and weapon lists (example: http://pso2.bplaced.net/w/index.php?title=Sword), both not yet done. The major advantage to this approach is that, for example, if they released new weapons you just need to create a new page for that weapon and the entire wiki is updated, i.e. it's much easier to keep up to date. Downside is, as mentioned, it takes some time to set everything up.

Templates I had in mind would be weapons, units, sets, cosmetics, items, photon arts, client order, monster, crafting, item exchange... But I guess getting weapons ready first would take priority so data entry can start.

Free hoster with 2 GB space which should be enough. Since it's an actual host, it's fairly easy to install new extensions etc. Downside is that it's not the fastest host, but it seems manageable. Not like there's much choice if you don't get a paid one. :-?

Feb 13, 2014, 12:08 PM
Like I said, I'm willing to help anybody at anytime. But when it comes to the PSO2 community, I think wikimedia would be the best option.

With 2Gb, we shouldn't worry about the upload space for a while, if users start uploading too many files, we could still find an alternative and move the wiki to another (paid) server with more web storage.

Wikidot isn't that bad, but it lacks some key features. So yeah, I think we should all focus on Gardios' wiki to make it look decent.

Things are looking great so far, but don't forget to ask user feedback. I'm sure we all have different opinions about what we consider useful or not: some columns should be dropped, some others should be added, ... Can't be bad to have another perspective.

Then about the weapon names, alba, alva, alpha ... I don't think it matters right now, but IMO the English names should match the English patch names.

The main questions to answer are:

1. What do we need first? - Set priorities.
2. How it should look like? What are people expecting when going to that page?
3. How should we split the work?

Copying all the information from other swiki and other existing wiki sites will take a fuck load of time, so if we could do anything to save users time, "that would be great".

Done with the weapon and weapon list template now.

http://pso2.bplaced.net/w/index.php?title=Traitor_Linear
http://pso2.bplaced.net/w/index.php?title=Sword

I made sure to have the weapon list as customizable as possible (see http://pso2.bplaced.net/w/index.php?title=Template:Weapon_list ), so columns should hopefully not be a problem now. The only thing missing is acquisition, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea. Since it's linked to the actual page where you can elaborate on stuff, that in turn would make the lists pretty long. Splitting it in two (short version for lists, long version for weapon page) kind of defeats the purpose of having a template in the first place...

I've planned to do other equipment-related templates next (latent, unit, set), once that's done we can start transferring info over from swiki. Until then it's probably a good idea to discuss what the pages are supposed to cover.

Personally, I think we should start with data I will have made templates for first (i.e. weapons, units, latents, sets) as well as pages for the classes and weapon types. Class pages should have an overview (what's this class about?), builds and directions on how to play it. Weapon type pages only really need the overview since details would likely be better on PA/technique pages.

Sticking to the EN patch translations for item names is a good idea, alternate translations can always be set up as redirections. Since I'm not using it I've used my own translations for now, but that can obviously still change.

1st - Whose running the show? Lostbob initiated the thread but I see a lot of others running with it. It doesn't have to be 1 person, but there need to be people making final decisions or nothing will ever get done.

2nd - Once I know who the first is, I need to speak with him/them. As I mentioned, I'm willing to supply hosting, however, we need to get some details straight. Like, Domain name, how much storage/bandwidth we need, etc.

3rd - Everybody else. Once you guys know who is running the show, there will be a need to fill in other positions. Moderation for instance. Assigning specific tasks to specific people. Maybe you want it to be 100% crowdsourced, but it will still be ideal to designate responsibilities to individuals. That will allow the work to be divided equally and monitoring to ensure the site stays accurate and protect from vandalism.

4th - Those who are in charge need to layout specifically what needs to be taken care of and in what order. Prioritize. Meaning, what content gets priority, how it's formatted, how the wiki will be designed, etc.

5th - A better method of getting this accomplished, maybe a OneNote Notebook everyone can share. It's pretty good for collaboration, organization, it's free, and pretty much everyone has a Microsoft account.


So, let's start with step one, and move on from there.

Gardios' wiki will probably be more successful then mine because it's easier to manage for people, so you should talk with him about whatever.

1st - Whose running the show?

-- Gardios, he's the wiki admin and current host owner.

3rd - Everybody else. Once you guys know who is running the show, there will be a need to fill in other positions....

-- Everyone should be able to edit/add/remove content. I think it was the whole idea of the wiki. Don't think we strictly need a moderator, as far as people daily check recent changes. Then if something looks fishy, people writing bullshit to confuse other users ... we can still report it to the people with rights and ban the account(s) or IP.

4th - Those who are in charge need to layout specifically what needs to be taken care of and in what order. Prioritize. Meaning, what content gets priority, how it's formatted, how the wiki will be designed, etc.

-- Again, I think everyone should be in charge of everything. If anybody wants to add a contribution to the project, why should we refuse?

5th - A better method of getting this accomplished, maybe a OneNote ...

-- Bleeeuhh no thanks, this forum works just fine imo.

We are far of a 50 men project, maybe not even 10, it's just a damn wiki don't need to apply restrictive development rules. Can we just see it as a open space for user-generated content? And not another copy of cirnopedia with a bunch of guys pulling the strings.

I guess that will be up to Gardios. However, nothing I'm suggesting restricts anyone from contributing or discourages crowdsourcing. I'm talking about structure. I'm not talking about regulating or censoring content, I'm talking about actual management of the wiki. Site design, logos, formatting, naming conventions. This doesn't preclude anyone from participating, but at the end of the day, we could end up with endless edit wars like they do on Wikipedia. Sooner or later someone has to be able to make a decision.

Alternatively, you could pay a visit to the JP wiki.

If only the english patch worked for the JP Wiki. I think this is a great idea and it would be a great resource for people that wanted to find quick answers and such.

Just saying Cirno updated the wiki on 19/02/2014. So he might make many more update soon.

This kind of shit is what ruined the first wiki you had, fyi. Joke names and references like that stay funny for about five minutes, then get tiresome.

No, not really, it was me always changing what I wanted stuff to look like.

Which makes it less credible/professional. Wikis are meant to be impartial, accurate sources of data, not a madlib.

Essentially a piece of text or story where one fills in words with whatever they like
