So this is the wiki page obviously. We could port in some of this info here, but I would probably rather see this used for resources that scale modelers would primarily be looking for (that they can’t just easily find on that wiki page.
Things like:
First kit produced, by who, etc.
All kits produced by variant/scale
Best rated kits current available by brand/scale
Sherman field additions (sandbags, armor additions, etc).
I don’t want these topics to strictly turn into photo galleries either. Limited photos to show specific elements mentioned in the text is fine. If you add images they should be done in a consistent way and downsize them to at least the 1200 pixel wide variety.
I would like to see some template ideas from different members on what they think this wiki should look like, then we will adopt that style and reconfigure the others to match. You can go ahead and create your own starting topic on a subject of your choice.
And just in case this part is not obvious, Wiki topics can be created, modified/updated by anyone with trust level 2 status or higher. Which is about a couple hundred of us currently. Everyone at level 0 or 1 can still post replied in these topics, they just can’t make changes yet to the main wiki text. Or at least I am thinking that’s the way this works.
Something like that yeah. Again not too picture heavy as that will just promote a long succession of added images by people thinking it’s a reference photo topic, etc.
After the “debate” about the T-54-3 vs T-54B on the Armorama forums. Some people just wanted some info but the post became so heated… Since writing a formal wiki is long process, I decided to use a reference link to other people whom already made thing in similar fashion. I might become mr Frenchy 2.0…
