So, like pretty much everything else so far relating to MrEnter, the MrEnter wiki is an absolute clusterfuck right now, and that's kind of a problem.
While the wiki certainly isn't as bad as a few of the things that have happened on the subforum, that's not saying a whole lot. Right now, a lot of our articles (probably a good 60 - 70%) are shitty, unmarked stubs with no categories or content (most of this being the result of people trying to chronicle Enterbots by putting up a page and one whole sentence of content, and then leaving the page alone for the rest of time).
Folks, I realize that there is a lot of shit in the Entersphere, and that it's extremely hard to keep track of all the people and things in it, but if you're going to make an article from now on, can you please actually put shit on it or if nothing else mark it with {{stub}} or {{incomplete}} so we know to put shit on it? It would greatly ease the digging that both I and others are going to have to do now to get all of this back in order and turn all this nothing into actual content.
From now on, let's at least try and adhere to this general set of guidelines regarding the Wiki:
Also, I completely forgot to put this shit in before hitting post, but this thread will also be the center of wiki clean up and quality control from here on out.

From now on, let's at least try and adhere to this general set of guidelines regarding the Wiki:
- If you think that someone deserves an article, but you can't or don't have any content to put on it, just notify somebody that "hey, this guy needs an article." Links would help, but it's not mandatory.
- Justify why we need the article in the first place. Having lots of articles on Enterbots is ncie and all, but it doesn't mean shit and doesn't help anybody if every single one is something like "X is a Y fanboy and Enterbot. He did his own list of Z A episodes where he did nothing but B the whole time."
- Tag your shit. If an article isn't complete or needs more info, we have templates for exactly that reason. I didn't make the {{stub}} and {{incomplete}} templates because I thought it was funny. We also have two entire categories for articles like these.
- Actually categorize the fucking pages. There are categories for a reason, and I'm sure at least a few of you can see what happens when you don't use them. The official Mr Enter wiki is a fucking disaster area because it has no logical categorization system, and that wiki only has what, 70 some pages? We have 69 as of this writing, and I know for a fact that it's only uphill from here.
Also, I completely forgot to put this shit in before hitting post, but this thread will also be the center of wiki clean up and quality control from here on out.
