No problem, thanks for the apology :)
I mean, just look at google, make a search and look at how much space isn’t used. it’s not an isolated issue, it’s a widespread outdated standard.

Can confirm, had to switch to light mode from dark mode to be able to select ratings.
I have to say, I love new filtering options, like by Manufacturer, or by game update, you hit the (s)nail on the head with this one for me:)
I am also very much looking forward to community made articles about vehicles. The knowledge base of some War Thunder community members is breathtaking and I hope we will see some gems from them there.

New Wikipedia has the option to make the page wide, also dark mode. It’s on the right hand side.

Not an LLM styled AI, just one that copies/pastes info from other articles to create a coherent template for editors to add to
I love that new wiki. Its amazing 10/10.
Great work Gaijin o7

IMO removing usage in battle and the pros & cons is kind sad but maybe we can get a new comment section instead? It is much better to see multiple user rating of the vehicle rather than a paragraph that will usually be outdated in 2 or 3 major update anyway.
Ofc there’s the problem of moderating it and etc but would be kinda cool no?

Honestly, I don’t like the new GUI but then I also don’t like the new profile GUI either. To me, both are just not that good. Wish we could optionally swap between both layouts. Best of both worlds.

That is great! Is there a way to edit articles?

Well, I was a contributor of articles on the ‘old’ Wiki, mostly vehicle histories - and imagine my surprise on opening the new wiki and discovering all of my work, all of the articles I wrote - in my spare time, without ever being asked or ever being rewarded in any way - have suddenly disappeared. None of the vehicle articles has a history section anymore, apparently that is no longer important.
I’m horrified, gutted and utterly disappointed.

I may be an outlier, but I dearly miss the “Random Page” functionality.
I can remember many a fun session with my friends (all like me Air RB players) which went:
- “What shall we fly?”
- “Do you need something for grind?”
- “Nah I want a pause from grinding.”
- “Let’s do PLANE ROULETTE!”
Someone hits “Random Page” until a plane comes up that everyone in the squad has.
- “Okay, guys, flex your muscles, today we fly the awesome I-16 type 5 - but the Chinese one!” etc
By eliminating the “Random Page” you took away a fun game mode… if that is simply a config toggle somewhere - may I have it back please?
Thanks in advance,
– E.

Well, they’re both CAC, but try to explain to the guys composing the new Wiki that the Chengdu Aerospace Corporation and the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation are two different things.
No edit button either, so good luck trying to rectify that mistake as a user.
That was the good thing about the old Wiki. If you found an error in an article, you could easily change it. Now you almost have to write a new article that is posted in the feed of the old article - and ignored because it’s somewhere in the bottom of the article’s feed.

@DnaGonite, now another issue:
The rating bar overlay the rating buttons, making impossible to rate the vehicle. I can’t click on the numbers when the bar is over them.
from what i read above Darkmode is the issue

Oh, yes, it seems to be this, I’ve changed and it worked, hopefully they fix this issue, I can’t stand light screen.

Another example of design over information.
What is the benefit of this work?
All texts are gone
plane engine datas gone
Armament sites (showed all planes with same cannon) gone
plane speed limits incomplete and c/p went wrong e.g.:
Bf 109 K-4 360kph should be gear limit, 260kph should be landing flaps limit, and mach limit should be .82

Hey! A little tip for you:
The old wiki is still up so that you can save all the information you have created:
(War Thunder Wiki)
You can then use the new editor (guide here):
(Become a War Thunder Wiki author! | War Thunder Wiki)
And you might actually get rewarded with the new system:
Hope this helps :)
