[Wiki] Wiki Suggestion thread

Dunno, I think it will be the most useful info once we have all data. In the end it's not all important how many gluttony points you get, but how many you get in specific time. Because of the drain. Food that gives 10 points within 2 ticks is more valuable than food with 20 points and 6 ticks. Unless it's a starter

Oh, this is for gluttony, not healing.

Even then, I think the number of ticks may be sufficient without displaying the per tick amount (but then, I am good at doing that kind of calculation in my head).

Not everyone is good at mental math. It would be best displayed as humour/tick in the chart comparing food quality.

I also miss the concept of food reliability =< Not gonna get implemented now probably.

I am beginning to think that we should have a separate forum for wiki work. This thread is very confusing as we try to discuss more than one idea at the same time. As we gain more contributors, we will need to have individual discussions about proposed changes and mechanisms as well as a place to provide help to new authors.

well, wikis have built-in mechanism for discussions about specific pages. There's discussion tab in upper left corner

Yes, and I have been using those; however, I am not sure everyone who needs to be in the discussions are monitoring the recent change list for talk pages (I know I have been lax in doing that).

Could'v been mentionened before but It's annoying that you always have to write search words with capitals, and be 100% precise. It is generally pretty hard to find something unless you know exactly how it's spelled. Also there is no suggestions when you didnt find your exact search, like: "your search for "etterfang" did not find any matches, did you mean "Etterfang", "Fang of a Tiger"(lol), etc.

Also the page is super slow.

"Redirect" pages can be created, along with a few other tricks, for these misspellings so that if you search for them, you get to the right place, anyway. If you have an issue and don't know how to make one, leave a note in the talk section about it when you do find the page. It would help with the second part of your post, too. (It's a wiki search engine, not Google, unfortunately. If you want that level of intelligent assistance, you might be better off using Google instead.)

Search isn't case sensitive. If I search for etterfang I do find Etterfang.

Also, wikis are not google and they don't have this suggestions feature. But you can use google to do your search on the wiki. When searching on google just add site:salemwiki.info in the beginning. This way google will search only on salemwiki.info. For example:
site:salemwiki.info etterfang

A good wiki will have a comprehensive set of redirects. But it takes a lot of work.

Would be really neat if there was a way to log which search terms are used most often to create the redirects from that list.
