Hey, I just had a look at the Mobafire wiki page and it seems slightly outdated to me? Also some pictures are missing/not working and the general layout of the wiki is confusing. The main page is about the minions in the game?
I don't know though, but updating seems like so much work and time when pages like the leagueoflegends wikia exist.

So basically what I was wondering is, do we still need the wiki on Mobafire?

It's dead, Jim. They just don't know how to put it out of its misery yet, I think because people have invested a lot of time in it.

EDIT: I think it was actually getting used by guide authors around S3-4, so I'd say it's very outdated. I would recommend against using it / updating it.

I've also noticed the broken images. I've done a little work restoring some articles but it's quite slow going, especially when I have to replace old images with updated ones.

The wiki is pretty expansive and we largely depend on Editors, Scouts, Veterans and Mods to ensure quality and updated articles.

I do know that some people (like jhoijhoi) are pretty passionate about keeping it up, and there are some articles which are well put together and useful, so I'm not fond of the idea of scrapping it entirely.

Do you guys have any suggestions about what we (admins, devs) could do to make the wiki easier to use or update? Or do you feel that it's just not a useful feature regardless of the infrastructure?
Thanks to Hoppermh for the sig!

@ Fryla I started updating some of the pages a week or so ago, starting with Roles. So those should be up to date. I'll slowly start making my way through the other articles, but you're right about a lot of it being outdated. It's something I've brought up recently in the vet forums and in the suggestion thread.

The great thing about the MobaFire wiki is that you can link to it. Here's something random I just made up.

^To me, this functionality is amazing and something other guide sites don't have. The issue is that in the beginning there was hype for the wiki and then after that, it petered out.

We really need a wiki like the other MobaFire sites, where champions, abilities etc are all locatable and editable on the same "network". If that was the case, the wiki articles would be kept more up to date.
