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 It is much better to see multiple user rating of the vehicle rather than a paragraph that will usually be outdated in 2 or 3 major update anyway.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?
o7 to whoever added the dark mode
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:
Someone hits “Random Page” until a plane comes up that everyone in the squad has.
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,

hmm, This isn’t right…
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 :)
The “Rating by players” tab should have different options for different game modes.
It should also have different entries based on game mode.
I have no option to rate the “Visibility” for instance of the A6M3 I’m flying right now.
Some planes that do amazing for aerial combat in ARB can be a struggle (for the average pilot not used to flying in it) in sim due to visibility. The a6m3 isn’t that bad, but bf109s are notoriously bad rear visibility.
I’d also add a “Handling” entry. Some planes perform amazingly but are a handful to fly and these two are vital information for deciding what nation to grind out when you get started flying.
Even for ARB/GRB it’s likely people rate differently.
AAB/ARB have entirely different performance.
I think it would be appreciated if these Wiki articles were looked over by either content creators or vetted moderators because some of the stuff in the last wiki was complete nonsense, outdated, contradicting, and/or generally unhelpful. Like someone threw together an article after playing a vehicle 3 times total. Someone(s) who are dedicated to making sure information is accurate, up to date, and nonbiased would be extremely helpful.
