Yo World Bladers!
Practically five years on, and Beywiki still isn't that advanced!! What sorcery is this?!
The knowledge is in all of us already though, so we've just got to unite everyone to complete the Beywiki Project as much as we can. With some luck, perhaps we'll be finished before October, Beywiki's actual five-year anniversary!
To help us all in this adventure, we've decided to implement a few new ideas that will hopefully make the BeySpirit inside each of you flare with new life, with the thought of being able to provide the best information center for all Bladers around the world!
Fact Dépôt topic
Hey, it's not necessarily everyone who can write articles, due to not actually owning the Beyblades, or because their English is not perfect, and even those who can write articles for Beywiki might not know where to start or exactly what to include.
For these reasons, we're opening the Fact Dépôt thread! This topic will have the purpose of collecting useful information about any type of Beyblade or Beyblade product, whether it's a recolour from the WBBA we must not forget to add, or a comment to say that this or that part has been proven to do well in Attack/Defense/Stamina/Balance. For more information, make sure to check the thread!
Projects of the Moment
Working everywhere at the same time, not knowing where to focus, and doing so without a deadline in mind isn't good for anyone!
To help shape up the Beywiki contributions even more, let's introduce Projects of the Moment! Like assignments for the whole Beyblade community, each project will have a different subject, with a varying deadline between two and three weeks depending on what the task is. By the end of all projects, we'll surely be many steps closer to having a complete Beywiki!
The first Project of the Moment to start off is: Let's shoot all those recolors! We must add photographs of all the recolors listed on Beywiki before September 20th. Read the topic for this project to know exactly which recolours are missing photos. We've got to hurry! Dance for the Sol Blaze to shine and give you good light for your photographs!
The second Project of the Moment is: Make the Stadiums articles burst! In four weeks, we must publish articles for all the stadiums! Read the topic for this project for more details.
The third Project of the Moment is up: Measurement Freaks! Within two weeks, we need to add as many measurements of Beyblade parts onto Beywiki as possible, but we're positive we'll be able to go very close to 100%! For more details, visit this topic.
Approved Drafts Sub-Forum
This addition is mostly administrative because it gets really dizzying to look through all the drafts to catch one that is not already published on Beywiki. However, this'll help all of our Members see which drafts really need to be worked on because they are the only ones left. I dream that one day we'll have an empty Beywiki Project forum only waiting for drafts on the very latest Beyblade releases!!
For the moment, threads in this sub-forum will remain open. This way, if you think an article needs to be rewritten to reflect the information of the current metagame rather than the old situation, you can post a notification in the topic for the old draft, and if it's a substantial and big edit that has to be done, then we'll consider creating a new thread in the main Beywiki Project forum.
In addition, we've decided to give th!nk temporary editing and approving powers on Beywiki for plastics matters, which could definitely become permanent! That guy knows his stuff on plastics, so there's got to be a way this knowledge can be compatible with Beywiki on a greater level!
With all these new ways to contribute to the Beywiki Project, Faces like the Peridot Face [Image: peridotface.png] and the Lapis Lazuli Face [Image: lapislazuliface.png] are only as far away from your profile as you let them be! Because yes, there are now plenty of other ways to help with Beywiki besides actually writing drafts. The hype is now, the hype is us! Let's make the tri-headed logo really proud!
Thanks to all of you in advance!!
