I've filled in most of the blanks. I neglected most of "Wads in Progress" and "Wads for ZDoom", as well as the entrys for ATBDOOM and NTDOOM.

Hey folks you shouldn't put your names in the pages you've written. It kind of defeats the purpose of a wiki

You want to know? I wrote a page on that that's accessible from the front page of the wiki.

I'm not talking about making this a Legacy editing reference, but to cover the Doom and Boom basics that ZDoom is compatible with. Including technical details such as how the binary lumps are structured etc, I could do a couple of such writeups.

At least it would be nice if all 'normal' linedef types (for Doom style maps) that ZDoom supports were documented. One use for this could be to create Boom compatible maps with a few ZDoom enhancements (like some purely decorative slopes - look at FreeDoom MAP07 for an example.)

my oppinion is that the starter appends his\her name, then editors append thier names... kind of in a "contributors" kind of thing

like:

Contributors:
BioHazard, Fredrik, HotWax, Xaser... etc...

Contributors are listed in the history page. Or if you desperately need to announce it, put it in the article's discussion page.

Did I mention I invented the internet?

Oh, and RTFM will now become RTFW.

Seems someone is already abusing this.

Hey Randy... um... there is only one problem I see with this.

Maybe you should make it so that you have to login to create/edit pages in the Wiki. As I already see, someone has deleted all the links and written AYB all over the place. You've made something which any jackass capable of typing can severely f**k up.

Or even better, you could make it so that people can only edit pages that they created.

Just a suggestion...

um where did the front page go?

man... this is gonna be the announcments forum ordeal all over again...

The wiki is the most unworkably naive concept ever devised, and especially so in regards to the Internet.

I hope MediaWiki has a revert feature.

That would kill the whole purpose of the wiki. Requiring log-in would be cool, though.
