I just wanna make a page on every xrd character on the dustloop wiki that is like "Shit the character discord links to that should be on the wiki so you don't have to join a discord to find a google doc"
I love how I say this and then get yelled at by one of the maintainers who is like ACTUALLY WE UPDATE ALL THE TIME while everyone else in the comments complains about having to go on character discords for info 8D
I love that I click the "videos" page on Sol and it brings me to a page that doesn't even have rev2 matches like the newest video is from 2016
Every fucking character page has video links that don't even link to the right game that I'm actively trying to fix and of course I just get shit like this back from people actually involved in the wiki https://twitter.com/jotamide/status/1298414232778821636
"Hey you know what would be great, if we started linking to all those google docs and evernotes so new players don't have to hop on character specific discords to find a lot of intermediate stuff." "lol ur saying our wiki sucks??? lies"
"You know what? It'd be a pain in the ass to ask the maintainers to update every little piece of advice or optimal combos constantly so it'd be nice to just have resources atleast" "are you saying we don't update the wiki??" Well whatever, I'm updating it.
Ya know what, not going to argue with someone who isn't even trying to read the context of anything because that's no fucking good for anyone. That said I just died because if you click the video page for Kum you get a 404 because the character doesn't exist in rev1.
Hm there is a thing in the charactera data templetes for discords but no characters seem to use them and I'm trying to figure out if I have to do anything special to make them work. Since finding the discords is ALSO a whole thing.
HM okay this isn't good. The nav bars have to be edited by hand each page a character has which is... yeah, I'm not doing that, especially when I don't even know if my changes are welcome. I suppose I can still change them on all the data pages though...
I'm willing to edit 50 pages but I 'm not sure if I'm willing to edit 175 pages and trying to properly implement the navbar properly seems like it'd be a rude overstep that the actual maintainers should be deciding upon.
Oh okay I see how this works. I'm going to go try and update a few characters the right way (the way they seem to have intended but not gotten to) and hope others follow suit.
On the other hand if I overstep a little and make a proper navigations tabs template thingy I don't think anyone could possibly complain.
Alright at least Jotamide and I hashed shit out just a mutual misunderstanding.
