Attention All!
After doing research into the many, many... many, new futures and aspects of NS4 since way back when, I have been scouring the wiki. There are many improvements to be made, and pages to be updated.
So if anyone wants to lend a hand please let me know in IRC or send me a PM.
Its time to update the wiki

speaking of which, the spam has gone crazy recently.
The spells should be 99% up to date. Celorn has done a good job of adding planar items. Factions and jobs have been kept up to date.
Shapechanged stats could use some work. Dragon should be accurate though.
The main thing that's missing is info about new areas and monsters, but IMHO learning that stuff is half the fun of exploring anyway.

My main focus is making navigation easier.
The ideas I have are:
1. Show the categories on every page either 1) on the side bar or 2) at the bottom.
2. Alphabetize many more nominal lists.
3. Create table of contents on pages 1) longer than a ~screen length or 2) with high detail or information.
4. Make it easier to link between pages in the Wiki. Like Wikipedia's "See Also" sections at the bottom of many pages that link to related topics. For example: Depression links to the many types of depression, while Somalia links to their militaries pages as well as recent history.
5. Try to shape a better file tree... its more convoluted than a corrupt symlink list. For instance, the FAQ should be updated, and be one of the major categories, or have a category of basic info, apart from the New player Guide.
Anyway, if anyone has other suggestions for the wiki, speech up! ^_^

Excellent idea about the 'big' page formats, those standard links to jobs, factions etc should really be a template.
I subcategorised the guilds by faction, which i think is what you were trying to do with the guild page (manually creating your own TOC is a bit of a mug's game when the category system can do it for you).
I need to figure out how to reformat the subarticle and subcategory lists in a category page though. There are only 10 guilds and 7 factions, having them separated by first letter is overkill and kind of ugly.
What are your thoughts on making it easier to link to other wiki pages? I can't imagine it getting much easier than [[Northern Coalition]]...
Weeell, I think the general philosophy of guild pages is that guilders make 'em, sort of like a wiki homepage. I don't suppose most would mind if they were spruced up a bit, but i'm not sure imposing a template is a good idea.

That's more confusing than the Windows Command Structure...
Thanks for all the support guys, I'm in class, I'll post in an hour ^_^
*Edit for understanding*
Oh snapage!
So I should use the wiki code exclusively instead of HTML?
