That one guy wrote:I'm going to be honest here....Your wiki makes me cringe every time I look at it. It's littered with useless, out-dated and straight up WRONG information.
The Admins don't seem to care, and at times even seem to promote such behavior.
And No, before you even say anything, I will not help fix it. It's a waste of time seeing as how it will be just as bad the next day....Made so by your dipshit community who seem the think they know what they're talking about.
Yeah, this has been answered so many times I'm not going to even bother. Read the thread and possibly even look around at the wiki before making idiotic comments like this.

Behold, an example of the stupidity that resides in the wiki. (found in the P90 page)
Spoiler
I'm curious, should the G36C have it's own page? I'm aware that it was removed and replaced, but I think it should have it's own page
I think it should.

How about a Foundation Weapons page or something and we could include this, the G36C and perhaps even the H.I.D. Turret page? Aaaaaand possibly even the Apache could be included since..well, you know.

EDIT: Or at least a possible list page that these could all be included and linked to.
That's a good idea, TheIncredibleHibby. I think the Apache should have it's separate page since it's a vehicle, but maybe the weapons it's equipped with can have it's own page.
Idiots... every single, one of them. It is impossible to fix such kind of stupidity, thus it is impossible to fix such a place.

Look around the wiki? And read a page about the random agent that escorts you, or the gun he uses?
Oooooh....Maybe I'll find a page about the doors, or maybe even the light fixtures! OH THE FUN THAT AWAITS
My name is John...Yes you can call me that...Yes it's a bland name, but it gets the job done.

Stupidity is not to be confused with completion. >_>
They wanted to make a page for a gun THAT DOESN'T EVEN EXIST IN THE GAME ANYMORE, AND A PAGE FOR THE GUN THE APACHE USES! WHAT PART OF THAT DOESN'T SOUND STUPID?

How long will it take them to make a page about all the diversity of walls there are in the game, then make a separate page for each of them. How about a page about stairs and how much they assist with traveling up and down. How about a page about the computers and how if you manage to turn it on it will show a picture of a room full of kittens with a nice flower vase at the corner, that really ties the room together, and how once you get off the computer and turn around, a zombie will come at you, AND BEAT YOU WITH THE BLOODY KITTENS! Don't those sound like such fascinating topics that deserve time and space to talk about?

The wiki has 134 other pages as well.

Completeness doesn't sound stupid to me. Some people use wikis to find out what the subject was like in the past.

Not even going to respond to this, sheer idiocy condensed into one post.

...Maybe I should make a page based on the type of fabric that the D-Class uniform is made of.....Or maybe Dr. Maynards eating habits.

i do agree with what zab saids, we need at least articles that were in game before it was taken out, you can take scp-513-1 for example, we have to keep that article up so we can memorize what SCP-513-1 did, or appeared since the very first version to v0.2
This profile's been around for nearly eight years

Personally I'm not bothered by a surplus of less relevant information, given that it doesn't undermine anything important. The wiki has slowly gotten better over time, from what I've seen the majority of the overall false information is kept in the comments, which nobody should ever read unless you want to catch the 'stupid'. Don't get me wrong, the sheer idiocy of anons is downright painful, just remember that most of them are uninformed and that some of the posts here don't stray too far from that.

When it comes to editing politics, I've really only done one edit for the wiki (I somehow managed to still fuck it up). As far as I know, removing content raises a much larger red flag to most wiki moderators. Unless the information is false or is downright irrelevant, most of the time it's left in.
