As Cothordin mentioned in his FAQ post, we now have a Wiki page up, at the following address:

http://galaxylegion.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

Note that this is just the bare beginnings of a wiki...it needs a lot of work before it will become the comprehensive resource that we are all hoping to take advantage of. However, it will be a long wait indeed if we just wait on Cothordin and Webguydan to do all the work...they have other things filling their time, too!

That being said, I'd like to encourage everyone to get over to the page and add in anything you think will be useful. As a beginning, try finding everywhere that there's a page that's referenced, and not yet written, and create pages for them. Since there's already a reference, there's obviously a need for that page, so all that remains is to fill in the info. I've taken the lead by creating a Galaxy Points page, and a Mission Items page (big thanks to Lord Siculas, Lore, and swift for providing the Mission Item data).

Who's next?

Added entries on Artifacts page for acquiring artifacts, and included a list of artifacts (that I know about). I've included a column for cost in Artifact Points, so that people can judge better how much they want to save up before requesting a shipment. This is fairly incomplete so far, but will grow as I acquire more data.

Also, whoever edited the Mission Items page to include up through Tier 18, thank you! :D

To add a category you must first find a page that correlates to it, there you add a link to the page you want to make. You then follow it and create it from there.

Im low rank (28), so can some higher ranked players help me make lists or spreadsheets for the research page in the wiki? Ive seen topics that ask if there is a spreadsheet for all of the items you can research. The discriptions in the wiki are very short.

Is it OK to correct a mod's grammar?

Yes, but I make fun of people who correct grammar on the interwebs due to them not realizing that the majority of the internet is designed to be a place of vernacular speaking and in the end it just makes people look prudish.
Heck it took Kuren a year to get me to use commas.

Now if its on the Wiki, hecks ya. Its meant to be verbose, forums nahhhhh.

I just added another mission to the list. I can't figure out a couple of things. Help would be appreciated.

How does one upload images?

Can we make the mission page's table bigger? It looks like crap and is very hard to read.

Perhaps merging the completion and finish columns would give more room for the mission description column?

Come to think of it, do we really need the description column?

No, to me, description is useless. I don't need it to get the data I want from the wiki.

I would love if the finish column would just be the total energy needed to finish the mission and then one could sort the table by that column.

Edited it slightly. Does anyone here have access to the size of the page? There is really a lot of wasted right space that if it could be removed, would allow for things to look a lot better, even if we leave the description.

I did edit the last field to be just total energy. I made it and the title sortable.

I've just removed the description section from the missions page, and it looks MUCH better.

I saved the page as a .txt file before I made the change though, so we can always revert if the page size can be adjusted.

To tell you guys the truth, there alot of pages that have un-needed info. IDK what you guys think of when you think wiki but what I think of is a streamlined website with only the info needed to answer most questions in depth. Not chronicling every last thing in the game. In some cases like Fallout 3 this is what i think of but seeing as this is a point and click I dont think we need the info for every last mission, maybe the special missions like the arcs or ones with unique rewards but not every last one.

I agree although, I'm confused why you added the word energy to each item in the last column. I thought the title "Total Energy Spent" said that. It doesn't matter as the same amount of space is used. Just seemed redundant.

Depends on what you want from it. Personally, I would like a full list that I can sort by total energy needed to finish a mission. I choose to do the ones I can finish the fastest first. This allows me to speed through the tier awards. I'm gaining a tier award once ever 8 levels or so. I believe if I knew the amount of energy needed to finish each of the missions and what you needed to open them, I could plan better and bring that number down.

I added Energy because the list is growing quite large. Once the titles of the columns are out of view, it isn't necessarily obvious what the numbers mean.

You probably noticed that I added info on another 8 missions as well. I actually did that whilst Coth typed his post above. :oops: :P

Adding energy makes the sort not work right so I removed them. I'm trying something that might help...
