What exactly counts as non-fiction writing? AKA I would like to know if guides count.

Non-fiction writings  :)

 

 

Update the guide to rail, as it does not focus on the new XP/ BP trend.

Maintenance is not needed over the page  you reported.

 

That page is a basic guide on how to use Railgun and some info over that turret, it is not an advanced guide over it. You may prefer to check our guides on playing specific Maps - there you will find infos on which hulls / turrets you should use and how to use them, or even check this page: Guide to XP battles  :)

Hmm, wiki editor applications might be opened soon? I'm intrigued....

 

Anyways, I just have a few nit-picky suggestions. 

Finding the right battle to join - It was stated in the first sentence that the game has 50 servers. This is outdated information, the game currently has 35 servers. 

In depth: WIki Editors - Whatever Rem had said is no longer visible, instead it says "Text Here". Perhaps this was purposeful, but it does seem a little odd.

Reporters - In the candidates section of this article, @Night-Sisters's name is said to be Night-Sisters667. Also, there are a few other reporter candidates (Arabic candidates I presume), namely: , @iAbdulaziz, and @TariQ99. I could be wrong, I don't know the inner workings of the Newspaper. 

How to join a clan - This is just a personal suggestions. Recently the 'Join a clan!' topic was started. To me, it seems like there should be a mention of this topic in the article.

Pages updated, thank you for reporting :)

 

"Reporters" page contains only officially listed Reporters for the EN Community (they can be found here: Reporters).

For what concern the "In depth: Wiki Editors" page: it is still under maintenance. The same goes for other "In depth" pages :)

Just a few very small things that I have noticed:

  • StarLadder- There is a spelling error on this page. " The elite team of producers is staffed by mangers, production specialists, broadcasters, and commentators. Its main headquarters are located near Kiev, Ukraine." I believe that you guys meant to write managers but missed the a. 
  • Learning how to shoot accurately- This might not be worthy of an edit, but this page states a few things that could be considered a little bit out of date. "Twins and Ricochet have the biggest firing angle," Vulcan now exceeds Twins's autoaim angle, so this might be worth updating. Also, it states, "Isida is the best choice when it comes to close combat on different heights." This isn't really true anymore. With an update to Isida's autoaim this year, it is basically the same as Firebird and Freeze but with extended range.

I_F, any development with the idea yet?

No, it will take many time to see news about it probably - just be assured that the idea reached the Devs :)

Well, here is a question. 

If I am correct, the download link for the Wiki page is outdated and should be replaced with the newer one, but I actually am not sure if it is unintentional. Is this simply outdated information, or is the Wiki's download link correct?

I use standalone and find the 15 version better.

The 17 is a debugger model so every time I change servers or rank up it would freeze up and a box saying error would pop up. Everything still works fine for me with the 15th version though :)

I love that the new V-LOG is starting to revisit the older days of Tanki. With this, can we have history sections for each turret, hull, and paint in the wiki? Some of the old garage descriptions were pretty good reads, and it would be nice to have screenshots of the old graphics for nostalgia's sake.

 

(On a silly note, I remember the Shaft's flavor text used to mention delivering pizzas. Am I going crazy?)

Such page already exists and contains many information - we will not make new and separated sections for each turret, hull and paint old versions. Our Wiki is a source of ACTUAL information and stats, so we are not going to make such sections, sorry  :)

 

The page that contains info on the "History of Tanki Online" is the following one: History of the Game.

For the record, yes, this is true.  ;)

 

But the descriptions have since been updated, in order for them to be more informative for players.

  • Guide to playing in Red Alert effectively: 

    "Firebird , in particular, is effective, as its burning affect can mean that even once you die, as is common in Red Alert, you will still be able to claim kills."

    There are two errors in this sentence. Firstly, the comma should be placed directly after the word firebird. Secondly, the word affect was used incorrectly- what should be used in this case is the word effect. Also, I'd consider rewording the entire sentence as it is a bit hard to follow. Perhaps the word "once" should be replaced with "after". 

In any case, these fastidious suggestions won't make much of a difference, I would just like to point them out. Also, I'm glad you fixed the spelling of the word "noise" in the Updates page. Nice catch!

Congratulations on your candidacy ;)

 

Page updated, thank you for reporting  :)

 

 

Also, remarks or suggestions are not considered as "fastidious", they are all great and helpful as far as they are like yours  ;)

For what concern the "Updates" page: I spent some time re-reading it all to fix it since, before, it was just a copy / paste from the Forum topic containing all the past Updates, now it is a bit more organized.

You spelt burning 'effect' wrong. You spelt it correctly later in your post, though! Sorry, I'm a Grammar Nazi! :P
