A little sad that this removed the engine analytics page, now it simply shows what the model of the engine is without extra information.
Same with secondary loadouts… I hope something more intuitive than a basic spreadsheet comes out.
Not really, you could play 1000 games in a vehicle and still not know everything, or you could have played 0 and know everything about it because you have played an equivalent vehicle. How it is now is fine, now that it works.
Can’t find awards description/criteria in this new wiki. It seem it hasn’t been migrated from old wiki
https://old-wiki.warthunder.com/Awards
Now, we only have some generic nonsense - [Navigation] Awards and Achievements | War Thunder Wiki
Also, there is no search field on main page

It seems to have been migrated now:
(Scouting | War Thunder Wiki)
(Missing the vehicle list though, i hope it gets added as a feature you can filter by later)

Is this serius?
add history? why ? i dont want to add history, my post is about the performance of the vehicle and the features, weapon and playstyle ingame… is this a game wiki or not? i dont get it… if i want to know about the history of the tank i go into a tank wiki and not a game wiki…
also why more detailed? i dont write the wiki… i write a post about it, summarising how to use it, how it performs ingame, how it works, what it can and can not do, what to look out for and so on… why does it need to be detailed?
was hoping that this new “feature” will allow people to publish ingame performance and how to use it, like we had in the old wiki… but it seems to get blocked?!

This is not very promising if you want to make simple MEC usage data known.
“Switch supercharger gear at these altitudes, if you use this prop pitch and radiator setting you can perma WEP with minimal speed loss” yada yada.
I can’t imagine making that info any longer than 1-2 paragraphs.

Jea, i was really hoping that we will find informative infos for ingame relevant mechanincs in the “game wiki” but no… they want to have history… and 50000 word posts that no one wants to read if he clicks ingame on the button “information”…
What players want to know in a game wiki is simply how the game and the vehicle works. … like in any bloody other game wiki in the world…
Imagine i go into thw darksouls wiki and there is only stuff abput the story… lol

NEW answer…
gaijin… please… dont accept it for the sake of me… but for the sake of not making the wiki useless
this is btw my post i try to publish:
its just a “testcase” as i also wanted to add eventually smt like Ammo rack stages and maybe more but the goal is to have a very short quick info and to test if i can get this published in the new wiki… but no… i am so fkn mad right now at them… its insane how shit gaijin is…and that the community dosnt give a crap and just keeps buying stuff while raging in the voice chat about the devs… i guess pvp is just dead and the 99% of people dosnt give a crap about pvp, fairplay, competitive, p2w and so on… they have their fun buying shit for 70 bucks and playing 5 hours a month…
That looks pretty indepth, to the point and good quality to me (without knowing the vehicle itself, that is)

Most of the useful features have gone - waste of time now.

Personal opinion here:
I like your content and how its written and there really should be a section for that type of content in some capacity somewhere.
BUT honestly, strictly speaking a wiki isn’t intended for subjective opinions and that is mostly what your post is (Compare to Wikipedia, I doubt you’ll find sny opinions baked into the pages there).
That being said, a opinion based section (although not on the wiki) could be linked to in the wiki itself. So for example a wiki-moderated forum section in the style of how they handle game suggestions currently could be better suited for that type of content, and then that content is then linked to in the wiki in a general sense of “For opinions and gameplay guides from players look for the vehicle in this section on the forum [🔗 LINK 🔗]”
What I think the intention with the wiki articles is is subjective comparative content (with perhaps minor opinions thrown in) in the form of “This vehicles armament is X and uses Y amunition which shoots faster shells and has a better penetration/post penetration effect than many other vehicles in its BR” and/or “the engine has a HP of X which in the BR range is on the lower end of the spectrum compared to its counterparts, thus a “sniper” play style is preferred to maximize the vehicles efficiency”
I don’t know if this is the best approach but this is at least my opinion and how I understand things to currently work with the new wiki. But I’m not entirely sure as I don’t have access to behind the scenes Information in that area.

Yours has even been looked at yet? When did you post it?
Great job with the new Wiki 3.0
And please former creators and content contributors, write your article and descriptions back into the new Wiki3.0.
A great function is comparing vehicles.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t compare the tanks’ ammunition penetration values.
This is important and is definitely missing.
Keep up the good work.
Its blocked be the wiki mods, therefore it never got published

A game wiki is a wiki where u find everythink about the game…
Also including playstyles, pros and cons and unique stuff.
An easy example, darksouls weapons in the ds wiki.
You have the location where to find ans how to obtain, you will have the effectiveness in pvp and pve, you will have the bare stats on every enhancement, ypu will have the moveset and the unique moveset if excist, the weapon reach and at the end a bit of story if there is one.
And as u can not do it without, some opinion is always in a post, especially on the “how to use”, “pros and cons” and “pve, pvp” section.
U can like the magic spells in elden ring, but u can also hate it being boring, thats an opinion and u can only try to descripe the weopn/spell and descripe situations soe the reader can imagine how it works. But situations vary from person to person so its always an opinion.
If i say i can work good with the t20, i also need zo say its hars to play eithout knowledge, so i exolained why i think so to make the reader aware what he should expect.
My goal was to test if we can have pure informative posts, as we have a follow function, i wanted to see if people that play like me can creqte post that i follow then to see what they thing of smt and in case i need it, to inform myself how they think of smt before i grind it.
Why havign a “create post” “add comment” “follow author” function if we can not do that?
Also if the people dont create opinions or writing real stats and playstyles in the wiki, then who will do it? Gaijin? Lol…there is nothing in the wiki about the strenght, weaknesses, no mec control, o ammo priorisation, no armor analys, no analys generall.
If i want to know how a vehiclr works, the current wiki gives me 0% more information then the ingame stat card and that is absolutely not what a wiki is supposed to do.
So yes i get the point but i also dont. Why adding mechanics to it that u can not use? (Like creating post, doing comments and following authors u like) Why do i need to watch yt videos instead and do a lot of testing to find out how a vehicle performs, what it strenghts are and so on… ?

As in when did you create it?
I am not sure if i can follow u.
When did you write the article in the first place? I wrote one the day after the new wiki came out and it hasnt been reviewed yet, i was just wondering how long it takes them to get through posts.
Ah i get you, not sure 100% but a day after the announcement and then again 2 days ago.
You need to go to the “wiki support” to check if your post has been reviewed. In the overview it will not tell you.
your tickets ->“New | War Thunder Wiki”
for me it took them around 2-3 days to answer and ofc block it.
