Title: FFWiki
Post by: LeonhartGR on 2013-03-24 10:57:30

I recently noticed FFWiki has a youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/FFWiki/videos?view=0) which I personally consider rather interesting! I'd love to learn if anyone from qhimm is related to the FFWiki. Thanks!

They stole a lot of my research without so much as a credit or link, I know that.  :evil:

AFAIK, that only happened in one instance. I was reading through the project translations page at one time, I saw the comment about Gighee and thought that was interesting and strange the wiki did not have it. When I added it I had no idea it was so little-known (in fact, not at all). As for no credit being given, one person was really against it and most people were apathetic. That's how things generally go down on the wiki.

I am a member of the wiki but I do not partake in the LPs.

I wrote a bulk section on the Serpent page (my own work). Then someone (Catuse167) went around adding AI scripts copied almost byte-for-byte from TFergusson's enemy mechanics doc to a number of the enemies. I don't recall anyone crediting him.

Oh yeah, that happened.

Okay, most members of FFWiki are a bunch of thieves.

Quite a few things popped up there suspiciously from what I wrote here... but it doesn't really bother me all that much anymore.  It would be nice if they did credit people tho...

I'm glad I set this thread up then... I knew some qhimm members must've contributed a lot in the past...

Someone took off with some scans I made for here a few years ago with no credit, as well as a render I made of Aeris when Dissidia 012 first came out.

I actually went through all the ff7 pages a while ago removing the AI scripts. WHAT is the point in those being there? I mean really, who gives a fuck? My changes ended up being reversed.

I occasionally go around checking FF7 related pages are correct.

lolwut? The wiki covers all information. Whether people care or not, the idea is to be a fully-comprehensive Final Fantasy database.

I don't really see the point in it tbh, the average fan doesn't really care. Fair enough if you have it at the bottom or like in a separate page, but most of them took up most of the article. Had to scroll for ages before getting to what I wanted :|
