Anything I've seen done on the official wiki is a copy/paste of something from the unofficial wikis. 95 percent of the pages introduced are blank. Not hating, just stating facts.
Wiki requirement: The post must be 100% original.
100 percent copy/pasted from the mod's wiki, or 100 percent original from your testing?
*edit, sorry my testing and my own words or something to that effect?
From what I remember Jaded saying, your posts must be original, not copied from another source.
so do you guys just not ask for help or do you guys just not got any? Jeez latest thread in that sub forum is March april june... Is it better to fumble around and try to add stuff, or is better to just put myself out in a thread and be charged with a duty?
Well, no offense to you or to anyone else handy work, but the official wiki should be the first place to go as a great centralized reference, and we should feed in wiki info from the mod wikis as they are updated. That being said, tbh for what it is, its the last place for me to look. Maybe even ask in the general board what people want to know or start with so that it gets used and receives feedback.
I feel like you should spend more time searching the forums prior to forming your opinions on the way things are working.

When I go to the front forum and work my way down to wiki I don't see those threads.
Because you should check FTB news every so often to know what significant changes have been made, are planned, or what openings there are.
Or check the News tab of your launcher. It shows the threads there.
OK, thanks! You'll notice the original post has been edited to reflect my new direction. I take it I don't need to ask you to step in and stop anyone who would continue the wiki discussion here instead of moving it to another thread as I have asked for, hopefully the people on these forums have some common sense about when to stop posting OT material in a thread that's changed.

Have you ever even visited it? When I was really into writing wiki pages I would go to sleep planning to write a few pages, and come back to see they were created, along with 50 other pages. The team is hard at work a lot of the time, and there is tons of information on it. It just happens to be up to date, and it seems you are looking for info on older modpacks. Them writing support for every single version of a mod is completely implausible.
YouTube is actually a good source, as you see it working, and have 100% proof that it works.
Secondly, you just create an account (preferably under the name DREVL), find pages that are missing, and write them correctly following the guidelines that should be available in the link portal thingy.[DOUBLEPOST=1378855326][/DOUBLEPOST]
Many mod wikis are not very info heavy.
Also, best modpack to replace MindCrack would be DW20 + GT.
If you want a mod wiki to have better info the best way to achieve that would be to submit updated articles that better present more info on the page you want updated. The kind of info I want on a mod item would be how much setup work is involved in getting to the point where I can actually get the item in question; if it's a processing item like the Industrial Centrifuge or Industrial Blast Furnace (both GT) then what power setup is ideal to run it off and what kind of energy sources would I want to be harnessing to get there. That kind of info would be very helpful whether it was on the same page or on pages that link to the item in question but it would only happen if someone submits articles that are written to the required standards.
