Title: Should the Wiki be made part of Geekhack Media?
Post by: ch_123 on Mon, 26 October 2009, 07:53:08

I was just thinking - I get the impression that a lot of new users don't know about the Wiki until someone points it out to them (and have seen posts where new members have said as much) At the moment it is rather obscure for something that contains so much useful information. Perhaps moving it into the main body of the forum would make it more accessible to people?

What about a sticky? Something like a "READ THIS FIRST" thread for resources. Newbies and experts alike would probably benefit from it.

Personally I think the way the Wiki is implemented now is absolutely terrible. I think it took myself over a month to find it as well. It should somehow show up on the main page (forum overview) for sure, or should have its own flashy button (not actually flashing of course) in the menu bar.. or something like that.

I didn't vote, because I don't really care, but I have never had a problem finding the Wiki.  I guess it might make more sense in the Media section, but I'm fine with it where it is.

Seems pretty easy to find to me.  ;)

Thanks, iMav.  Could you also offer a comprehensive vision plan with membership?

Short of cross linking and sticky posts, there's no good way to incorporate the Wiki link into an already existing forum. What iMav did is about as good as it gets. If iMav would like, I'd be more than happy to build something into the global header that has things that would be accessible from every page. The only draw back, is it'd be "Wiki" and "Forums", perhaps some links to our sub forums like "Vendors" etc.
