Hi there, people.
I am sorry I cannot put more work on the campaign list as planned, I am not a student anymore. But at least I try to keep it updated.
There is an horrible high number of campaigns in the wiki campaign lists. Yet, only an handful of them get mentionned again and again on the forum as "classic" (Derelict, ST:R, Procyon Insurgency, BP and probably a few others). Long story short : a newcomer would not know by which one to start, might take, say, a less-than-average one to try the "user-made" campaigns, get disappointed, and leave forever.
Since actually giving grades to campaigns is difficult without changing the wiki engine (like they do for instance
here), could we agree on :
- Creating a separate page for the "best of the best" campaign that passed the test of time ? This page would be introduced either from the (current) campaign page (top of the page), or by an new "disambiguation" page after selecting "user-made campaign" on the first page
- On the short list of selected campaigns, that should include I would say the 10 best campaigns, the campaigns needing to be at least one year old (to avoid adding every new campaign to be polite and to make sure they have the time to be debugged). Alternatively, a yearly vote by the whole communauty (not only us who go in the FreeSpace Wiki section) would be even better.
