Title: adding the SCP FAQ to the wiki
Post by: kasperl on November 25, 2003, 03:04:10 pm

i am adding most SCP FAQ pages to the wiki, trying to get it organised and searchable. i am just copying and pasting forum posts, adding headers and editing lay-outs. i would like it a lot if someone helped out and checked for spelling, and helped me throw all the bits of relevamt information together, in an organised manner.

Ok then: :no:


Seriously, though - he's right, guys. The Wiki is for everyone to contribute.

Kas, did you mention this in the SCP forum? This forum tends to bump down non-off-topic threads rather quickly.

i mentioned it in the SCP FAQ forum, but i still have to check that thread. i jsut expected a bit mroe of a response on the start of a FAQ project.

ok, the response at the SCP place is minimal, but positive. btw, i have been working on this, look:

I keep on getting errors when I try to edit a page on the Wiki, so the following is stuff that should replace the mish-mash in the SCP Command Line Options page, hopefully formatted correctly for a Wiki table. ;)

I'd comment on it, but if this (http://dynamic4.gamespy.com/~freespace/fsdoc/index.php/posting%20guidelines) doesn't comprise a specific demand that I stay the hell away from the thing, I don't know what is.

Awww, you're too hard on yourself. I believe in you, Stryke - somewhere, deep, deeep, deeeeeeeeeeeeeep inside, you have what it takes to contribute. It's just a matter of bypassing the defenses you've walled your abilities in with and getting at your Core of Goodness™.
