Wow, nice work.
But I'm not sure if it worth the work writing a bot for it.
Here are some APIs: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Client_code
And I can create a bot account for you.

@CPFB: If you are really willing to contribute, I activate your account. Any help is great.

Cool, I'll take a closer look at that page tomorrow, if I'm not too busy with school with this week.

I was excited to find a way to quickly generate the necessary text for a card's page, but copy-pasting it into each individual card's page by hand just sounds tedious.

One more update on my Dropbox stuff: the Dark Ages pages there now have the illustrators, if anyone else wants to actually paste them into the wiki...  :P

And with that, I'm going to get some sleep, something I should have done a while ago  ;D

i was finally able to get in and take a look at the wiki today. great stuff, well done everyone!

as for me, i just finished transporting most of the FAQ to the wiki. there are now fairly detailed pages for Goko, Isotropic, tournaments, and these forums. i suppose i will now join in the general slog of updating the individual card pages.

I spent a lot of time just created card pages and copy/pasting the articles from DS.com. A lot of these articles are in dire need of updating as they are several expansions out of date. The NV article doesnt even mention NV/bridge combo! Also formatting, page linking, etc.

Anyway, lots and lots more to do. And you can do either tedious grunt work (copy/paste, formatting work on dozens of articles) or more thoughtful article updates.

I'm also going through in order, making sure all the parts of the pages are filled out (FAQ, History, illustrator, strategy) and pasting in the strategy article if there is one. Or writing a few words if there isn't.

I don't mind, it gives me a chance to read and think about all the cards, I suppose it's grunt work but oh well.

It's prompted me to think up a Tunnel Article because apparently there isn't one :S

Looks like I won't have much time to contribute during the week, but for anyone just slogging through the individual cards, feel free to use the pages I generated (or it might be useful for someone with a bot account or something). Maybe I'll be able to do more on the weekend.

My preliminary investigation seems to show that this is bottable...

i guess we should wait until we have all of the card pages at least filled in with the basics.

I've started filling in some Offical Rule Faqs, since this seemed like low-hanging fruit. Is there any problem with just cutting/pasting from the official faq PDFs on Rio Grande's site? I noticed some of the Base set cards that already have that filled in have that section broken into bullet points.

If it makes sense to put things in bullets, do it. It's more reasonable for the wiki format.

I wrote the article but as I'm hoping to get feedback I don't necessarily want it on the wiki yet, which leads to a question, how do we decide when an article should be uploaded from here to the wiki?

The wiki should have a lower bar than the frontpage of ds I think. Wikis are made to be edited, so if version 1.0 isn't so good then it'll get improved.

One thing that should definitely be improved before announcing it to the public is a better front page. Right now it is a hodgepodge consisting of a small text welcoming, a table of outside links, a ToDo list, and the Kingdom card template (which I just noticed has both non-kingdom and non-supply cards in it, so that title will have to change). I think the whole thing needs a lot of work, and most of those four areas should either be removed or Upgraded (once we hit $5) before making it public. I'll start some discussion on the talk page of what we want it to look like so we can start moving that way.

I've been breaking the FAQs down into bullet points in my free time; I think looks cleaner that way, and no one's had any complaints so far. I've been making a point to not edit any of the text itself, though; I don't think they'd be official at that point.

I'd say if you have something to add to a card page, just add it and maybe add some comments in the discussion section. The wiki format is designed so anything wrong/bad is corrected by other users.

Not sure if will do much with it, but can you also give me a bot account?

I'm not sure how it's best done. Should we create several bots or one main bot to which several users get access?

I would do it with several bots, then you can know better who to blame when some bot runs amok...

I mean the wiki is always work in progress. But I would still wait a few more days until at least the basic work is done. This includes IMO at least the front page, basic categories and infos to all the cards. So I agree with Schneau here.

Requested account but honestly not much free time to put into the wiki.
Will mostly work on navboxes, templates, categories, and other organizational things.

i've been trying to add in redirects for what i think will be some common shortcuts / alternate names. donald x, BM, RGG, simulators, and a couple other things will all redirect to the appropriate main pages.
