RoR Wiki Improvement Project

Post#1 » Tue Jun 21, 2022 4:19 am

Hi everyone,

Over the last month or so I've been putting a lot of time into improving the RoR Wiki. I wanted to use this thread to list out updates that have been made and likewise to see if anyone else here might be interested in helping contribute, as we could use your help!

The general direction I'm aiming for with the updated pages is:

RoR Wiki Improvement Direction:


1. Is this easy to understand and helpful for new players?
2. Is this a good source of information for all players, including veterans?

There's a lot of stuff in RoR that by default may be confusing for new folks, and though a lot of us who have been here for years know it, it's not always documented. I had a guildmate frustrated that they couldn't find certain info they needed on the Wiki, and after hearing that... was motivated to fix it up a bit!

What we need:

More people who want to improve the Wiki! We especially need:

- People who are highly knowledgeable about RoR / Game information and willing to learn how to build Wiki pages (it's not hard!)
- Graphic designers or people who can help us gathering / preparing screenshots and assets

I'm also going to continue building it wherever I can, so if anyone has requests or pages they would like to see expanded, please feel free to share your thoughts and requests on this thread.

The Vision for the future Wiki:

A central hub for all info in RoR. Armor and Weapon Set info, Crafting and Gathering guides, clear and easy-to-follow Dungeon guides, and more. If players need help understanding something in the game, the Wiki should have it!

Finally, just wanted to say THANK YOU to the many people who came before and built what's already on the Wiki. Let's take what they started and push it to the next level!
