Adopting Orcs Must Die! wiki
Dear Wikians,
I am about to request adoption for Orcs Must Die! Wiki. At the time of the writing, Special:ListUsers/sysop indicates that there are no administrators at all. From my experience as administrator at The Elder Scrolls Wiki I can tell that there are many Wikia-features, which are only configurable by administrators, that are not used. Having these features can help growing a solid Orcs Must Die!-community.

Goals to achieve
Edit
- Adding infoboxes to all mobs and Traps to provide clear and detailed information to users.
- Making sure all level-pages have general information, as well as wave information and maps.
- Categorizing pages and categories, to make a clear, solid structure that visitors can browse through and depend on.
- Improving the Main Page, making it a powerful tool to guide new users that are here to seek information about Orcs Must Die!. This page should be as clear as possible so users without any wiki-experience should be able to find what they are looking for. If not, we lost a visitor that probably won't return.
- Expanding the wiki-staff according to the growth of the wiki.
- Having a strong backbone of information by the time Orcs Must Die! will enter the next Steam-deal (I have a strong feeling there will be more sales of this popular bargain): More people buying Orcs Must Die! means more visitors. We should provide the information these users are looking for.
- Using our newly laid foundation to build towards Orcs Must Die! 2.
- Assuring democracy.
My recent work on this wikiEdit
- Making infobox templates for use on mobs and Traps-pages. I extracted the game files and am using those as reference material. This way I can provide very detailed information about mob health, weaknesses and all sorts of other things.
- Providing (layered) maps and wave-information for levels. Again, I am using the source material for this. It enables me to provide the exact number of mobs that appear in waves, without having to count it myself.
- Categorizing articles and images, as well as making a category-tree.
- Giving a new lay-out to the Main Page.
- Providing high-quality images.
If you want any help on extracting/understanding the game files, visit my talk page.
