I noticed as I went through this list (I found them in the uncat. section) that many of the pages either were generally spam, tips, or just really offset pages. So here is my idea on fixing these issues:
- Spam pages really need to be hunted down. What I am posting isn't nearly everything. Get more mods if you must, include me or not, you really need to find someone you trust.
- It seems the Growtopians here like having tips as some of the pages. Why not make something like: General Tips ?
- Users seem to not see that some pages are just really out of place, such as Seth, as it should be under Growtopia's mods. page.
- Members of this wiki in general seem to be abusing their rights, a policy should be set up to show them that they can't go around making random pages saying whatever.
- A good page vs. a bad page needs to have a clear model, users seem to like to mix it up with general untidiness.
Like I said with the webpages, I could list a lot more. If you need a mod to help you or anything around that, you can add me if you want, but give me a wake-up call on it first. Also, if you really want to see a good wiki, go to Elderscrolls.wikia.com , the wiki can be used basically as a really powerful model of what a good wiki looks like.
Thank you for your time. I'm sorry for writing an essay telling you to basically do your job, but it seemed like it was necessary at this point. Thank you once again for taking the time to read this (and hopefully, work on those pages.)
