Ratchet & Clank Wiki:Bulletin board/Revamp project

Hi, I'm Light Daxter, one of the new administrators on the Ratchet & Clank Wiki. I was recently promoted alongside Technobliterator, Jak Himself, and Tumpp1357 (rollbacker) to help out DrNefarious, as the wiki was largely inactive save for one user (who also was an admin but resigned shortly after we joined).

Some of you might know myself, Jak, and Techno as the administrators (and bureaucrats) on the Jak and Daxter Wiki; naturally it's not surprising we all like both of these popular action-adventure-platforming series.

We've always been busy with the J&D wiki, however it is nearing a state of quality where each article, image, template, category, and so on are adequate if not par excellence. To be a little more specific in terms of maintenance, this means no stubs, no missing or poor-quality images, no incomplete infoboxes, no missing data, etc. As such we have started to look towards the R&C wiki for our next project once the J&D wiki is properly finished. Alas, what we saw here unpleasantly surprised us, to say the least. I'll let our actions speak for our opinion regarding the matter.

Since we've been promoted, we've thus far redirected/merged (weapons, skill points, trophies, skins) or deleted (non-notable or out of scope content) articles by nearly 50% of the original article count. Additionally we deleted over a thousand images, all of which were unused, as well as many minor templates and categories. And we aren't even close to done. One other thing of note would be that we brought down Special:WantedPages to below 1000 (the goal is 0, of course).

Anyway, if you feel like you want to get involved in the broader project, feel free to drop us a message on our talk pages. We primarily communicate through off-wiki chat (namely Steam or Discord), so we'll give that info per request. -- Light Daxter -  Talk  20:29, October 27, 2016 (UTC)
