the "SKIP_OUTDATED_CHECK" thing is for when you have a specific reason to bypass it (if you're not yet familiar with the details of this system, basically just don't write this) |
oh ok, sry I thought it was meant for translations only so I used since I didn't change any words themselves. |

@cl8n I'm done so far, if you are fine with the english version, do I only put the tag for outdated translation to the other languages if required and am done with it? |
Modding is part of the ranking process and we already have that linked so no need for that. Added a sentence about loved to justify the project loved link.
Regarding the whole article, we should discuss if we want to keep the old embellishments addressing the user directly in a very sprawling way or if we use a more plain succinct general description thing (or some sort of in-between). Personally, I liked the phrase |
Tbh I thought it sounded nice but at the other hand that's not something to put into a proper main page. We already have an abnormal amount of text in it, since it should normally just be a few short sentences so I think it's right to make it as short and accurate as I can. Also what translations do you mean? |
Shortened even more, final version from my part
Both implementations (embellishments on the one, and succinct texts on the other) have their up and down sides. I don't know how to put it really. I guess that it's just what I would like to see in the main page personally. Finding a balance between including every important information in the text and still address the reader directly in some way or another to make the article less formal is not easy, but it is the goal in my opinion. I will leave the final decision to the maintainers and get an impression of the article afterwards. |
unless you're doing something weird regarding translations (which you aren't, in this PR), you can copy and paste the thing CI tells you into each of the article's translations. or you can let a maintainer do that part for you when they're ready to merge, doesn't rly matter i thought the changes to the links were good but I haven't reviewed the further rewording yet since u got ur account back |
Not planning to change anything, so no translated content here. This is the final version if there are no issues that others bring up. |
Added missing links
Deleted links
Moved links from "link-wall" to the header so that the wall of links under some headers gets reduced allowing people to have an easier time finding what they want
Shortened a lot of the writing. A wiki is supposed to be short, precise and to the point. Due to the sheer volume of text and links users could be discouraged to read through all of it. Shortening the writing makes sure that the wiki serves it's purpose:
to inform the people. Nobody wants to use a main page that reminds them of an essay.
