* [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]] is one of the finest videogames ever produced by Nintendo. It's also an adventure game that many of us are very familiar with. This is why we've chosen it to be our first big project. We can experiment with the "book format" articles with this game, and this article will serve as a future reference point. | |||
* [[Mario Kart DS]] needs a little cleaning and expansion. It will likely be left in the "single page format" since it is not a quest and has no real spoilers. | |||
* StrategyWiki's policy itself must undergo collaboration in this early stage, and therefore we ask you to voice your opinions in our [[StrategyWiki:Community Issues|Community Issues]] section. | |||

Welcome to StrategyWiki, a collaborative wiki that seeks to become the largest source for videogame strategy guides! The guides here can be edited by anyone, so feel free to collaborate with us! |
Why StrategyWiki?There are many problems which StrategyWiki seeks to improve upon: The wiki format of StrategyWiki allows for multiple editors, thus improving the insight and quality each guide recieves. With many people able to lend their help and knowledge, guides can quickly gain depth. And with a wide range of editors, secrets are more easily dicovered and documented. Enforcing the community aspect of guide creation also serves to stifle elitism. One game, one guide. Unlike other sites, which allow an unlimited number of guides per games, we only allow one: with too many choices, it quickly becomes a confusing task to choose which guide is right for you. Collaboritively working on one guide for each game ensures a higher quality guide in the end. StrategyWiki ensures that the guides remain open. With StrategyWiki, content never "dies", and it can be updated by other writers even if original contributors abandon the guide. This is not true with many other sites, which only allow the original author to edit his or her guide; once the author abandons a guide, there will be no more updates, improvements, or corrections. StrategyWiki also maintains all of its content under the GNU FDL, allowing unlimited use within those terms. (More licensing issues TBD!) There are no more "plaintext" guides. We have real readability. With adventure games, we can even have multiple-page guides that ensure that a user does not stumble upon spoilers. There's also real markup, and images can be attached. Once we have the bandwidth, we may even allow video walkthrough uploads as well. |
