Possible Wiki Update

[ruggbean]

I was looking at the wiki for a small project that I'm trying to get going, mostly for myself, and I noticed that the Metal page doesn't show the alloyed ingots, only the pure versions. Would it be possible to update the wiki to reflect both the pure and the alloyed ingots?

@TyronI hope it's okay to ping you

Tyron doesn't do anything with the wiki.

That's not quite correct. He hosts and operates it, and sometimes assigns user permissions and such. Though these days it's typically Stroam who handles it in his stead.

@ruggbean - I recommend heading onto Discord into the #wiki-and-translations channel, and talk about your suggestions there. That will either result in someone going "sure, i can do that", or, more likely, you being told "make an account and tell us, we'll give you edit permissions, then you can do it yourself".

However, you will also be told that in this particular case, it's intentional for the alloys to not be on the metals page. Because there's a separate alloys page, which already lists them all. The first paragraph of the metals page links to it.

So your actual task here is not to find someone to make the changes for you, or even to make them yourself; rather, consider your task to start a discussion about whether the current model of having the ingot listing split across two pages is good or not, and what can be done to improve it. That could be merging both pages into one, but it could also involve making the reference to the alloys page more visible, or some other solution like it.

That's why it's a chat channel: to discuss things with other people
