I was curious, I would like to start updating a WIKI page based on the add on(s) I have created. I do see the syntax guidelines, however I am lost to where to actually create this. Is there currently a place for the community to start creating WIKI pages, or is this feature unavailable at the moment?

I often face a lack of description in the wiki pages, sometimes the explainations remain quite obscure for me...
Making the wiki editable would allow the community to improve the pedagogical stuff of Usine, with links, examples etc.

But of course probably a lot of programmation work, and moderation too...
In the future who knows ?

Oh oh, I hadn't noticed that.... Cool.
If I could, I would, but I'm still a Usine baby you know. I'm more in the "please help me" than in the "I help you" step...
But of course, I'll be happy to contribute when I'll be able to.

Well xpir, the beauty of this is we constantly learn no matter what and it always gets better and better.
Sometimes, what is needed is a different viewpoint. So many people are used to the approach they have always known.
The important part is shortening the curve from the please-help to the "wow it never did this but I just made it do this" point :cool:

Maybe as a beginner approach you might be looking at wiki pages that I might overlook now (and those pages probably need some work too to help shorten the curve)...you never know :cool:

Nay - Question regarding the Forum layout...I am curious why it has never been laid out any differently? Seems would be better manageable if separated differently. Like Patching Questions , Scripting Questions, Possible Bugs? etc...

Are there any plans to rework the forum in the future?

yes, all the website will be updated this year, and it will be the moment for such changes, but not so easy to choose the goods ones
maybe script can join the SDK,and we can also add IML don't know

about possible bugs, it's not a good idea cause to have a good feedback, we often need to exchange files with users and current report page is better for that and more easy for us to manage.

but we are, of course, listening all suggestions ;)

Very cool, the only reason I ask is that sometimes what we users might think are bugs, are really not bugs but more implementation. I hate feeling like I flood your bug reports when sometimes it is a simple implementation that the community can answer for. That is why I asked. Would be interesting if a user could post in a possible bug forum, if the question seems to be a bug we could lock the post when a submission is made. This way it would be easy from the perspective of other community users to identify "Yes" someone else is experiencing the same issue. I find it much easier to search the forum in this way as the bug report system can be very difficult to get good search results in my experience.

Also keeps us from double-submitting, could allows us to tie our bug submissions for reference, and allow the community to also possibly provide more details in reference, or maybe find a solution whether it be temporary or finalized.
Overall I see this as a simpler approach for at least the community side of things.

Speaking of tying reports, and uploading. I always thought it lent to the forum as well as the uploader is not on the bug report for patches but on the forum page itself. :)


As a suggestion, possibly a thread at the top could have a lock post - report as bug which would lead the creator of the post to the bug report linking the forum thread for more details. There the standard reporting could begin and would also give you guys more information regarding the user's application, an indication if others experience the same issue, or the some clue details to help isolate.
