I know there are a few people who are regularly updating the Wiki. @Budgernaut , @Glucose98 , a TitanTyrant, and a BrokenSpearShaft, are all regularly updating things. I was wondering if we can try to group together and fill this thing out a bit more. Looking at the wiki I notice that only Daqan have the units and figures information input, nothing is really found when you click on the factions. I know there has been talk about adding lore to the new expansions etc. I think it'd be cool if we can band together and use it's current template to create a full Wiki which is a great resource for those of us that play but also a great resource for those that may be interested. If someone interested looks now it only seems like one faction is fleshed out. I will be the first to admit I have not contributed at all to the wiki but was wondering if we could team up and finish that thing.

The new foldouts have TONS of lore too. The Maegan one and the Infantry Command had some cool stories in them
I am trying to log in or create an account there it is not working for me right now.

Get on and add them, I heard some of the lore was added in some things so see how they did it.
It talked about Bloodwood Scions drinking the blood of allies to regain lost health.

You know I wont!
I'm brokenspearshaft on there. Not really sure what I was doing, so kinda just copy pasta winging it. It's such a great resource figured might as well add info.
Got no problem punching words in there if someone else is cool with cleaning up a bit of formatting here and there
@Click5 I'm cool with cleaning things up.
@Curlycross I'm not sure I understand which part of the wiki the Daqan has that the other factions lack. I know someone added unpainted models way back when the core released, but I didn't think that was necessar. I'd just as soon remove those pages if we can't get other pics like those.
Also, I know TitanTyrant is doing fancy stuff with the Daqan and just hoping others will follow suit for the other factions, so if you see a Daqan thing the other factions don't have, let me know and I'll try to add it.

If you hover your cursor over the "Figures" and "Units tabs at the top of the page, only the Daqan Lords show up on that drop-down menu. Honestly, it feels a little redundant considering how the main page is laid out, but maybe somebody else will find it helpful. They link to a kind of redirect page so you can see all the figures/unit cards at a glance, and then go to the individual pages with a click of the mouse.
Also, I find it annoying that now you have to click the tabs on a unit's page to switch between the unit card and the command dial. Is there a reason they can't both be displayed at the same time? I suspect this is Titan Tyrant's doing.

Yeah, that was his brain-child. He did it with the Daqan Lords so I followed it up for the other units for uniformity's sake. It's easy to fix if people prefer to get rid of those.
I'll look into that tab issue at the top of the page.
I signed up there, will go through some Waiqar stuff to see what's what.

This is exactly what I'm talking about, don't necessarily care about the models that is on there but the cards are nice, but really I just wanted a place to also go see the units for each faction. For example of I want to go see what a Spined Thresher can do. I can't really find it on that wiki. If I want to see what cards a Spined Thresher has, I have no idea how to get there. I thought at least the units section should have all units on there and maybe a link to the cards they get (That we know of in some cases) and down below like other's have it a link to their expansion where it comes from, etc.
Also if you go to factions and click on Daqan or Waiqar it lists the units, but I don't know if it does for Latari, and it doesn't for Uthuk. @Budgernaut you know I'm wanting some more info on my Uthuk.
I see. I always use the search functionto find the pages I want. I type in "Spined Thresh" for example, and then suggestions come up for "Spined Threshers" (which is the unit) and "Spined Threshers Unit Expansion" (which is where you can find info on which cards come in that expansion with links to those cards. I'll try navigating in other ways tonight and see if I can make it easier to find things. Honestly, I like the original page that just had a list of everything. Things didn't seem so hidden back then.
@Curlycross I made some changes to the top menu and the main page that will hopefully make it easier to find things. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on if it's easier or not.
I'm seriously thinking about removing the Figures from the top menu and replacing it with expansions. Is that too redundant with the main page links?
Just want to throw this out there: the wiki looks horrible on a mobile device. I have no idea how to fix it.

Yep. I've been thinking the same thing. On the other hand, my mobile is so old can't even load the pictures, so it's of little help to me. I do know how to edit pages for mobile devices, but I just don't know what the best arrangements would be.

Haha then we shall reinvent the wheel and go back to the original. I have never used search so that may be part of my problem. I'll check it out here in a bit, I'm almost always at work when I'm on the forums, so I'm currently working on work stuff a lot, so I'll find time to check it out in a bit. I think it'd be nice when you go to flesh rippers page, you see their card, their dials, their stats, and then below maybe, all the upgrades they could use. and then the affiliated links like Uthuk army and Flesh Ripper Expansion. That make sense? When I check it out I'll tag you in my response.
I'd be down for expansions over units, I feel like it's currently redundant. The page with the models seems pointless, I don't need to see those, I want to know their function in the game, not their look.

The advantage of units instead of expansions is that the heroes that come with army packs can have their own page.
I totally agree about the figures pages. There's got to be a way to see times pages have been visited to show that nobody uses the figure pages. I say we get rid of them.

All second this say aye. "Aye".
@Budgernaut When I scroll down and see the four factions and their tabs. I'm not able to click on the tabs to see units, when I do nothing loads or changes. Below that I can see all expansions.
Other than that, the tabs on top of main screen are much better, we need to remove or change "Models" other than that It all looks great.
One thing I would recommend in each unit is instead of a tab for unit card and a tab for dials maybe just a picture of cards and below that a picture of dials. It seems to load poorly on the pages that have the tab option (for example berserkers loads fine with their card with no dial tab, but when I go to scions or kethra the picture won't load for card, and if I try to click the dial tab nothing shows up).
These are a couple thoughts, otherwise much easier to navigate in my opinion.

By the way, don't give me much credit. I barely did anything on that site. I'm just obsessed with having the right "where do I get this card from?" information on there. So I've worked on setting up some of the links that were missed etc.

Don't sell yourself short, work is work.
@Budgernaut , no I am not on mobile 99% of the time. I'm honestly mostly at work. which granted isn't the BEST connection, but it's not bad, it has no problems loading any other links both on that site and others, it's only the tabs in this site it has an issue with. Unit Cards/Dials and Factions on page one.
@Budgernaut Is there a way to get to the unit expansions faster than going to upgrades and then clicking on one of the upgrades I know is in the unit expansion? I'm almost wondering if we don't want to add the command expansion to the main faction page with the other units. I only say this because it'll just be the only way to get to the expansion quickly without digging.
Also thoughts on my previous inquiry to make the dials and cards on the same page and get rid of the tab?
