RadiantRoma Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 As most of you probably know, the Don't Starve Wiki isn't the best source of information around. It often does not include in depth information, or even any pages for some things. Most of it is for Don't Starve and Shipwrecked, as well, not Don't Starve Together. I propose we start a new wikia, solely for Don't Starve Together, and to make it the best it can be as a source of learning the game and all the is about it. I could do this by myself, although it would probably take a lot of work and time, and I can't guarantee it's popularity over the previous wiki, but if we assembled a team, or if just anybody helped, I bet this thing could launch off the ground in no time. Who's with me? I mean, either this or we could work to improve the current Wiki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah no ads would mean it would rival the other wiki since it's super cache heavy, and no I wasn't saying don't advertise the wiki I meant don't put annoying ads on the site, but I mean few ads aren't too annoying...few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it would need to not use Wikia? Since that seems to have it's own advertising system. I could use Wix, I have experience with it and then I would have free reign to design it however I like, including excluding advertisements.

Sure I guess? I'm debating on whether you should make two different wikis for both DST and DS since I do remember some people getting miffed about DST facts, items, and mobs being on the singleplayer wiki. Would there be a way to make a separate sections for DST and DS facts, or is that out of your league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcainewave5555 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Oooh cool I can't wait to pretend not to be a noob by reading the info then dying after touching the caves on my second day. Plz add guides! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wix is free too, to an extent. I'd be willing to pay a bit for a few extra features, like a custom domain, etc. Being completely free would be nice too though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when people ask if you're new in case they might need to help you, you'll say "no, i gud at this game, i survived 120 days before" and then later die from picking a rose cause you ate too many red caps. Just now, Cherryzion said: I want to make it only for DST, so all DS info would be separate. Nice, good choice in my honest opinion I think the only reason you'd want to make a wiki for single player is if they actually updated it so it wasn't buggy, broken, and unbalance.

Soulk Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Hi, i know some things about the game and the DST version, i tend to read a lot the DS/Shipwreck wiki to get some ideas for DST but now as a better and experienced player i dont look at the wiki anymore cuz there is no usefull information about DST, even when i first started to play DST i tried to look at the wiki for character and it was still very incomplete. My main language its spanish but i would be glad to help with anything i mostly have a couple hours a day to do whatever i want (that could be help the actual wiki or the DST new one), if interested should we talk on PM?

RadiantRoma Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 I've started the Wix page. Unless @minespatch can help me set up the page on tumblr, I will make a good base for this, and hopefully have a way for others to create pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiderdian Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Good thing you started this topic, so I can drop a link for the new Don't Starve Gamepedia https://dontstarve.gamepedia.com/Don't_Starve_Wiki It's relatively new. The Wikia one was ported over to Gamepedia due to the annoying ads present in there(like, isn't it such a brilliant Idea to have a huge video ad that pops up and then covers 1/4 of the page? Ha). It would be nice to check it out, some stuff may be out of place due to the porting, but everything can be fixed with some edits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endramada Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 This is a great idea. I wish I could help out a bit more. But until I can help out, keep out serving the DST community! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
