Forum:Reducing the scope of the wiki

As far as I can remember, we've always had at least an eye on making the wiki an "everything official SC" wiki. However, the ways things have turned out, we've practically only managed to get a solid footing on lore. Thing like strategy and the editor we've had little or no success in, as none of our active editors seem to be overly familiar in those aspects.

On the whole, I do not see this as a loss, because other sites and wikis seem to have picked up, or at least are in the process of trying to pick up, the slack. For example, Liquipedia is now well established on the SCI strategy front, and is well placed to carry on into SCII.

I think that rather than attempting to replicate the work here with our limited personpower and expertise, we should "delegate" the aspects we aren't handling to those other sites. In the case of strategy, we might simply have links saying "for this unit's strategy go to this Liquipedia page" or something to that effect. (I imagine our entire "-subject- portal" would effectively become an index of pertinent "other wiki" pages.)

If we go this route, it'd probably be polite for us to inform the other sites that we'd be leeching off of. It might also be a good way to help fill up our community portal page. - Meco (talk, contribs) 20:20, July 25, 2010 (UTC)
