[Clover]

[Spikes32]

so now at the top of all the appropriate forums we will have 1 sticky with links to all the good guides on the wiki for that particular forums right?

OMG. I love the "what we wish other classes knew about us" pages - and I wish I'd found them sooner First, I LOL'd really hard reading the minstrel one because a) it's ALL TRUE and b) I was picturing being in CD going "Get out from behind that rock I can't heal you" and telling our champ to stop running out of range. Hehehe. I read the burglar one too and was impressed - there were a lot of things I didn't know. And without this focus on them being in the Lorebook I probly would have missed them - I'm a forum skimmer, read the main page mostly, but I love the Lorebook already and will be sure to keep checking out these user guides Great idea and excellent work!

Next spot - this fishing guide I hear about

But I just want to make sure there's some way to know that this page will remain accurate and useful -- some way that -doesn't- involve daily policing!

In my limited experience with Wiki's I have noticed that the apparent weakness of anyone being able to edit it, is actually one of its better strengths. Not only can you keep tabs on the pages and info you generate, but the better part of the community is likely to do the same thing... especially for articles of higher quality.

Just jumping into the discussion here with a question...

First, I don't know the first thing when it comes to creating a wiki page on the Lorebook (or any other wiki for that matter). But I have created a Cooking guide in an excel spreadsheet format, mainly for personal use and sharing with my kinmates. I'd love to be able to share it with the rest of the community and open it up for their input. But, like I said, I don't know how to go about doing that.

What my question is, essentially, is how to do this. Where to look, who to talk to, etc. Thanks.

Jax,

I posted some links a couple of threads up. They are what helped me. But, if you need help getting your page set up and linked send me a pm. I have been helping a few people as best I can anyway getting their own guides set up and is has worked out awesome.

I can personally attest to this.

Clover has been a fantastic help in putting up with tons of PM's from me in getting my guide up and running. She helped start mine and got me going and I finished it all off, (btw it took forever for me to finish cause of some many tailoring recipes, having to HTML every single one to put in color and make it bold, which was at least 2+ days of work).

Thank you Clover for all your help and hard work and I can't wait to see other guides that are up there on the Lorebook.

My finished Tailoring Guide is now on the Lorebook.

Deja that turned out amazing! I love the comments and sugestions part you added at the bottom. I really enjoyed helping you.
Zmaster took the example of your guide and is making one of his own that looks great.

Isn't that the purpose of the Discussions tab that each wiki page has.

It would probably be best to leave that kind of thing there so as not to clutter up the main pages.

Thanks for the post on fishing as i didnt know how to fish.

Still waiting for my Minstrel guide posted in the class sticky to get the hyperlink changed to the new lorebook entry.

[seyahat]

I posted this to the lorebook: http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Thain...Money_in_LOTRO

But haven't been able to format it as nicely as other guides, nor have I figured out how to place it in categories. Any help would be great!

Any suggestions for this?
