FTM Frequently Asked Questions (READ FIRST)

[Nygeel]

I have disabled the external links to comply with the ToS. Such links can be posted by Family and Staff. Sorry, Nez.

There are protocols for improving the site, and we can follow them here. There's no reason we can't revamp the Wiki and the Reference Library, and come up with a nice link or sticky with FAQ for people who want one. The main problem is...humanpower (I've been told that "manpower" is rather sexist, but there's no good synonym for it).

If you see the need for a project like this, alert the staff and see if anyone has the time and inclination to work on it. Or volunteer for the Wiki yourself. Or start corresponding with a group of other members, come up with a plan you can agree on, and present it to the administrators. Staff should be the final judge. Otherwise, you wind up with a lengthy pastiche of information (and possibly misinformation) that nobody will want to wade through; you wind up defeating the purpose of an FAQ section.

I've looked more closely at our Wiki and our Reference Library since I last posted in this thread, and they can definitely be improved. For example, I tried to find an entry for the Hudson Guide and didn't find it where I expected it. But I think it's better to build up our existing resources and add an FAQ to them, then sticky the link in the FTM thread.

Nez, I apologize for sounding flippant earlier. I honestly didn't realize that our resources could use some improvement--I've never used them much--and I didn't see why we couldn't just link to them and save everyone the trouble. Serves me right for not looking.

Eh, I'l make an offer to improve the information type stuffs. Most of it is out dated (this website looks like it's stuck in 1994) and doesn't have new terms. Do I just message Emelye?

It's also a bit too hard to find certain information, as I found.

I'm sending you a PM.

Honestly, when I read the title of this when it was posted, even before there were any responses, my first instinct was to get away. It seemed pretty obvious that it would devolve into some kind of unhappiness. Not casting judgement in any direction or on any particular people, but still. This had watch out written all over it.
