News, information and questions – February 8, 2013[Bearbeiten]
Hi,
I just posted a ver long update for all our wikis on my English wiki journal:
I'd like to highlight here that this does apply to the German GW2 wiki, but a lot of these topics are probably irrelevant. For example:
- Quality of articles: this is less important than on the English GW2 wiki, but still important; unfortunately ArenaNet will not be able to edit directly this wiki due to the language barrier (Community Managers may occasionally do);
- Attract (and retain) editors: it is actually more important that we discuss this for this wiki, as the fact you have a smaller community of editors mean that we need to pay particular attention to its needs; feel free to jump to my talkpage to share you views, ideas and questions;
- Masthead redesign: this topic is, in my opinion, more important for this wiki than the English one, due to the visual design that is very different and may contribute to this wiki not being "seen" as official; we have no intention to force any design onto this wiki but it's a topic that has come up a few times over the last few months and I'd like to have a serious discussion about it with the community of this wiki;
- Youtube and the wikis: this is less relevant but could be an opportunity, I'll let the community of this wiki decide the priority on this;
- Fansite list: I don't know if you have such a page but feel free to add GW2 fansites to the English page;
- New wiki for the pictures: it's relevant to this wiki but I'm unsure if language could be an issue (e.g., need to have tags for easily looking for pictures that have a particular language on them);
- Page counters: this is a study we're only running on the English wiki but would apply to this wiki as well, if we can confirm that the counters do work;
- GW2W twitter bot: please contact poke if you're interested to run something similar for this wiki;
- Default skin: this is relevant to this wiki so please let me know what you think!
- Global changelog page: as above, this is relevant;
- WikiChat: this is not relevant to this wiki (as I unfortunately do not speak German);
- GW2 wiki mobile application: the people who developed this will need to clarify, if needed, if this is relevant to this wiki.
- Last but not the least: this is absolutely relevant to this wiki; although our ability to interact with this community is very limited due to the language barrier, the work of all the volunteers here is making a big impact on the German community and I'd like to thank you all on behalf of ArenaNet for that!
Note that if you can understand English and write it at a basic, understandable level (no need to be fluent, but Google Translation is not welcome!), we're looking for Germantesters for our wiki test environments.
Feel free to discuss this directly here on my talkpage (English only please :). Thanks for your work here!
