It shouldn’t be due to monitor resolution, as per their screenshot resolution, it is possible to see that they have standard 1920x1080 monitor.
It looks similar for me, also with a 16:9 monitor (2560x1440).
It is just the page that have been designed with that amount of margin on the side of the page.
completely agree, i might have worded myself badly, but having a higher resolution makes more empty space appear on a majority of websites.
not necessarily the case, though likely. There are settings that take the screenshots at a different resolution than the monitor. But you are correct, i should have checked that :P
Edit:
seems like many screenshots uploaded here default to lower resolution perhaps? two posts above this one claim “Screenshots taken on a 2560x1440 screen (“2k” resolution)” but screenshots show up as 1920x974 on the forum.
I have two monitors, My main is a 32" 2560x1440 monitor and i have a second 24" 1920x1080 monitor. moving the browser between them makes a big difference in the amount of empty space on many websites (the new wiki included).
Sorry if I was a bit rude before.
I’m just a bit stunned that they haven’t just approved the design but actually put it into production. I mean it’s 2024.
Amazing 👍🤩
Nice improvements
Overall, it is an upgrade compared to the old one.
I would like to see extra clarification on what the rating categories are, and how players should rate vehicles. A tooltip or small description of the category and how to rate it would be a great addition.
There could be alot of nuance to aerial combat and flight performance (and what exactly they mean), and the balance category isn’t very clear.
For tanks the categories are much clearer, but I would like to see the balance category described better. What does a balance of 5 or 1 mean? Is a perfectly balanced vehicle a 3, or is it a 5? What about overtiered and undertiered vehicles?
dark mode indeed is the cause
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 it’s not an isolated issue, it’s a widespread outdated standard.
I asked relevant people, Issue is know and being worked on. #Fixed Soon™ :)
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?
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,
