I'm trying to format the event text to closely mimic how it's presented in the actual game. That includes line breaks, and the subevent descriptions. I've dedicated separate sections for the subevents because sometimes there can be quite a variety of options, including flat-out refusal to view the shop interface, looking at the shop interface then leaving, and dying while at the shop. You've also been removing the text for the buttons, which I don't like. Sometimes I need to refer to the choice the player makes in an event, and it's more convenient to have the name of the option to refer to (especially if the name of the option is something non-intuitive... I don't want players having to personally experience the event and make a guess at which button corresponds to what). It also fills out the flavor of the event. If you don't like the subevent sections, I can just put them as the last section on the pages, after Trivia. EDIT: Case in point, the Hell's Angel event.

Describing sub-events and linking to other pages, but the wiki should read like a wiki. There has been an extremely wide consensus that you should not 'play the wiki' AKA, links should be in-line wikilinks. The spacing and format should not so closely resemble the game that it feels like you're playing the game on the wiki.

TL;DR: You're more than welcome to revert any edits you disagree with, but note that a vast majority of people in the BGO lobby chat have said they dislike playing the wiki. A wiki page should describe the event and all options in a single page, unless an exception is made because the page becomes too long (case in point, Archeology Dig).

You can keep flavor text and keep what text option does what, but it should not be all centered and stuff like it is in the game. I mass deleted several event pages and personally edited just the layout (not content) of several pages under these event guidelines.

Most of the current event pages were imported from the old BGO wiki, which people didn't use for said reasons.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the hang of it!

Would you mind somehow enabling AjaxRC for this Wiki? I've tried custom-enabling it for myself, but it doesn't seem to work... --UltimateKuriboh (talk) 19:42, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

I'm actually not sure how to do that, it might be wikia specific. I copied the text to my .js page and it doesn't appear to do anything.

Sorry I'm not very good with JS. The guys at Meta might be able to help you, or google it / ask around.

The guy who was most recently working on the Orain Wiki for BGO before it went belly-up. Like I asked before, could I be made admin? Instead of creating a bunch of new template pages by copy/pasting, I figure I'd use the Special:Export and Special:Import functions instead this time, but I need admin privileges to do that. Losing all that work was pretty disheartening, but I figure I can get at it again. I got "permission" from FastmanEX last time, but he hasn't edited here yet apparently... (at least, not as of this Wiki's reestablishment). If the position comes with renames, that'd be nice too. --UltimateKuriboh (talk) 01:16, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

I'd be happy to make you an administrator. PS, anyone can rename any pages via the process called "moving" a page. When a page is moved, it automatically leaves a redirect from the previous page name to the new page name (recommended if the old page name is common but the new one is the official title). As an administrator you will be able to prevent this redirect creation.
