User blog:Raider025/Re: Comments about "updating the wiki"

Recently a new batch of people have started editing since we removed the requirements to login to edit, as well as the game being only $3 for the base version. So firstly, welcome to those newcomers.

However, Shadow and I have noticed a trend of people coming in and leaving comments such as "X is outdated, update it," or "Update the wiki." This is becoming increasingly annoying as we know that (most of) these comments come from people who are new, as shown by the anonymous users making said comments, but it still bothers us because there is an edit button on the top right of every article and, except for a few pages like Warlords or the main page, all of the pages are unlocked and can be edited by the same people saying "update this page."

As pointed out several times in my previous blog posts, all the admins and bureaucrats of this wiki are NOT paid employees whose sole job is to keep the wiki up to date when even the most miniscule change occurs. Hell, even the content managers, such as Emptylord, whose job is related to the wiki, have more responsibilities than this wiki. Admins and Bureaucrats, such as me and SHADOWHAXX, are volunteers who love the franchise, and as such, we contribute our time and knowledge whenever possible. As such, seeing these comments irritate us because, unlike what the comments tend to believe, we do care about keeping the wiki up to date, but at the same time, we are humans, and either there is so much new info it takes a few days to process it all, or other life events take a priority over the wiki.

So, to that end, this serves as a reminder about how a wiki works (by depending on contributions from any user with info to add or correct) and that no one is perfect and that, instead of just saying "update this," you could add in or correct the info you wish to have added.
