i like the old wiki page the 2.5 which has the “usage in battle” and “pros & cons” also don’t forget the history those are important to every vehicle on warthunder
i prefer the old wiki ui over the new wiki ui but please don’t deactivate the old wiki if you want it then please add these old features to new warthunder wiki ui.
please Gaijin 🥺
I would advice Gaijing to move it back.
I would like to express that I completly agree.
The lack of a seearch bar, the lack of actual content that SHOULD have been migrated BEFORE turning off the old wiki.
Another anoying think is that the new wiki is being used as a secondary forum. There are complete articles about stuff that could easily fit in a Tag inside this forum.
This creates a comunication redundancy and disparse the information over multiple sources.
Moreover, this publishings are GE paid in the awful wiki, while we have Forum posts in the same model with thousands of views which where not recognized.
I dont understand what was the intention with the new Wiki, but it is not a well executed action.
I agree. One step ahead aesthetically and two step back on the functionality
it still exsist guys its just called the old wiki now
Biggest issue with new wiki is the “standards.”
A guy made a pretty detailed, to the point article.
No fluff, no excess meandering and pointless drivel.
Was rejected because “too short.”
While I cannot judge its contents as I do not drive the vehicle, its formatting and presentation to me looked perfect for an article.
If I wanted to share my experiments with MEC about my planes, I would likely write an article of similar or even much shorter form as… what is there to write? You describe supercharger gear switch, you describe various combinations of prop pitch and radiators for different goals (usually permawep) and that’s it.
It’s pretty useful info, but it’d be “too short.”
Maybe I’d also write an article solely consisting of pictures from the cockpit with commentary on visibility and ways to get around blindspots. That’d also be “too short” based on what I’ve seen.
I actually like the new wiki. It needs some tweaks, but after getting used to it for a bit, it is good.
Did the wiki need an overhaul, imho no, but they did it so…
We Will be able to update the old wiki?
Because otherwise It will be obsolete quite soon
If the only thing you find that the Wiki 3.0 needs is the historical background and the pros and cons, the players itself can create articles about those said vehicles. With that said, yes, it will be outdated at some point but I believe it’s possible to update the existing articles or create new one, but it doesn’t means it will follow a quality and probably no moderation.
Again, if the only reason for a preference to the Wiki 2.5 is the pros and cons and historical background, just go to the Wiki 3.0 and create yourself a article about the vehicle using the Author Support Program. I’ve made a article about the Object 292 but it’s on-going for verification.
Using as example:
You can easily implement tables and the UI is more user-friendly not needing much experience with formation.
I always found the pros and cons prone to not useful information, bloat or blatant contradictions
one of many you can find this was just the most memorable for me, or the Seafire IIIs which is essentially:
Pro
Cons
I like the new wiki a lot better, it fixed a lot of the shortcomings
No Search function in a Wiki… only Gaijin.
Loss of all the individual bomb, missile, gun, ammo pages. Again. We never got the ammo effect info from the original Wiki after the last Wiki was introduced. Originally we had data on kinetic effect, explosive effect and incendiary effect for every type of individual round and each belt.
Combat/take-off flap speed limits have also disappeared. No engine data in the new Wiki either. Wouldn’t matter so much if they still produced aircraft data sheets, but the data from the old forums was never migrated and the move to the ‘new’ forum seems to have been an excuse to not bother with data sheets any more.
