So, Wikitroid wasn't good enough or something?

I think wikitroid DID suck, actually. There was tons of content related to the fiction of the metroid universe, but very little about gameplay.

Even worse: alot of the fiction content was basically the personal analogies of whoever added the content, totally failing to stick with citations and known facts.

That's the thing with a wiki, if it isn't on there and you think it should be, write it on yourself. You don't need two wikis unless there are massive differences in aims and ideals of the admins/mods/etc. (which I doubt there are, they're essentially fansites with user-updated content)

Wikitroid was actually part of Wikia, but this one is just a website using the wiki format.

Wow, this must have at most 800 words of content. It's not like anybody's going to update it when everybody uses wikitroid.

Lol, it really isn't that great, judgng on their page on Metroid (http://www.metroidwiki.org/index.php/Metroid_(species)), obviously an essntial part of the series, and Phazon (http://www.metroidwiki.org/index.php/Phazon), which even has several typos.

well right, it's a new wiki. content has to come from users.

Chozoid

2010-02-18 09:37:29 pm

yeah but c'mon they have to have more info than that

Toozin

Not impossible

just highly unlikely

Then add more info.

Why waste time complaining about something when you can change it?

not sure he understands what a wiki is. they have to start somewhere, you know.

I understand what a wiki is, but I want to GET information, not GIVE it. I want other people to do all the work. After all, I pay good money to get on the interweb.
