Pertinence of a ff6hacking.com Wiki

Pages such as "All Things event..." while possibly better presented in wiki format, don't really need to be modified or updated (possibly added to however) and it would be much more difficult to correct any sort of "attack" on that type of information. Sure, limiting the users that have free change power and confirming changes would help, but I for one wouldn't really enjoy going throughthat entire document confirming everything. Again, while maybe more presentable, not really the sprt of data that requires high maintenance or constant updating.

You're starting with the state of mind that some people will destroy data and that it can't be avoided. I think obvious sabotage attempts can easily be avoided in 100% of the cases. However, one wrong value on 30 in an update can be difficult to find but it's the same thing right now in post and I'm sure there are examples in threads. I'm not saying those threads require high maintenance but right now if someone want to edit another person's post, he has to add another post at the end of the thread. And yes they would be more presentable in a wiki format.

are we talking about having the current forum here, then the wiki seperate? Or just changing some links off the main page and directing them to a wiki formated page as needed? My point being, I don't think it would be detrimental to split the site into forum & wiki data format. I know I'm not the only one out there that's never touched the forum side of some sites because everything I needed was on the other half.

There would be a transitional period where main infos would be forum and wiki and how long this would be is up to you guys. I could probably have links on the navigation menu redirecting to some wiki pages. In any case right now if I update something in links or utilities page, I have to make an update post about it otherwise you wouldn't know it. Who checks the utility page daily right now? Updates are showing in a wiki. I could even have a menu on bottom of portal showing the most recent wiki changes if clicking on the wiki page is too much for some people.

Not to mention the idea that some would be less inclinded to participate in either half if they have to check both halves to know if anything has changed.

I think this is the perfect excuse for those that wouldn't participate either way. It's as bad as stating you can't do a task because you don't know something but never go forward to someone to learn the thing.
