Help on the Wiki

Post by SinbadEV »

Currently the Help button up top links to the FAQ page, which isn't what most people want when they go to a new game's web-site and click on the "Help" button.

So I had started creating a real Help page at http://spring.clan-sy.com/wiki/Help ... then I got bored with the idea and stopped working on it... if anyone is interested in making it awesome enough to be worthy of being linked to from the main nav-bar that would be real keen.

The help page should be a menu page, a gateway to more specific sub pages. As such, any block of text will be a hindrance to the end user. For that style of help page to work you would need to put everything there is on there which would make ti incredibly long and 'unhelpful'.

The existing help page works, it just needs copying to a new wiki page thats actually called help and the top menu changing.

Instead I would suggest you campaign that fnordia gives us FTP access rather than us waiting for him to do an svn checkout every 9 months for any changes we make to take effect.
