Split the Wiki
Well, it has occured to me that only after The Vault split from wikia did order begin to return, something that is slowly being lost in the Forgotten Realms wiki.

Confused?

Well let me start the story back where it started, with the Vault. When the Vault started in wikia, it had great potential. It was a fledgling wiki and then things wen wrong. Articles became clustered and confusing, not well written, and overall, useless? Big articles like NCR and Brotherhood of Steel were well written and perfect. Administrators were greedy, if the article was not written their way then boom! you are temporarily banned for vandalism.

Then there was two options left: either split from wikia, or end the Vault. They chose to split from wikia, I have recently rejoined the Vault on its new destination. With administrators not working on what should be called Nukapedia soon, I began to fix up articles, make them how they should be. I also joined the New Vault, as we should put it. The articles there need organizing and that is being done.

You see the major problem with the Forgotten Realms Wiki is information regarding 3e and 4e, in my terms being a wikipedia editor as well, the whole article should be updated to the stats of the 4e with the 3e being kept in preservation. However, the way it is going, the 3e information is being retained and very poorly written and the 4e info is being stuffed into a history section.

So there are various propositions here:

1) Split the wiki and have one wiki the Forgotten Realms 3e Wiki and the second wiki the Forgotten Realms 4e wiki, or Wikipedia Style. 2) Take the Forgotten Realms wiki and have it split apart from wikia like happened in the vault. 3) Take the Forgotten Realms wiki and split it from the wiki as happened in the vault but recreate that wiki in Wikipedia Style. 4) Vice Versa to number 3. 5) Split the wiki into various smaller wikia's based on split Faerun topics

Plenty of others as well.

So its settled, we will not split the wiki, but rather we shall update the info by making everything past tense and by adding icons much like in the Fallout Wiki which has icons to show the game's the certain object appears in, but in this, icons to show which edition this specific thing takes place in. --184.65.67.127 02:18, January 27, 2012 (UTC)
