valid Add links to Wiki in the lobby

PREFACE

 

The wiki. Great resource, fantastically well-kept, all-around great - I have no problems with the wiki itself. Apart from the accessibility. I have played Tanki for five or six years now, and I only discovered the wiki after clicking the small tiny book + link at the top of the Tanki webpage in a moment of complete and utter boredom.

 

This also ties in with a problem I have had for a while with Tanki, which is the tutorial. We do now have a rather nice little thing that shows off the controls, and a few of the turrets, but I think it needs to go further. There are two ways of doing this that I can see. Either: make buying an M1 and MUing something part of the tutorial, giving a simple explanation as to what each does. Or, take advantage of the wiki which already has guides to all this.

 

At the moment, the communicator panel is put to somewhat good use, but I'm not sure that a nub will know/care about a new v-log.

 

​THE IDEA

 

Put, into the communicator panel (probably until chat unlocks - Master Sergeant), a home/help centre for the wiki. It wouldn't have to be much, just:

 

https://en.tankiwiki.com/How_to_start

https://en.tankiwiki.com/Game_mechanics

https://en.tankiwiki.com/Guides

 

(and maybe a few sub-links)

 

 

 

I did post this in the Wiki Hub forum page, was told it was a good idea, but was deferred here.

 

Also, I love the new tags thing :D

Under review

 

From what I can tell, developers only want to put links in the UI, which are actually useful for gameplay. The Wiki is just an additional resource, so there is no place for it anywhere in the game. However, I must point out that there are already links to the wiki on specific items in the Garage, so perhaps they might do this as well.
