In the wiki it’s easy to miss it and I don’t think everyone actually goes through it. I feel like the Destiny wiki has slowed down in use compared to say a Wookiepedia which is far more active. In the discord it’s easier to communicate since any talk in the wiki is moving at a tortoise pace. Also it’s easier to prevent edits wars if people talks things through there and we can make rapid changes.

It’ll help out tremendously if you were there. I’ve been on the discord for a few years now and edit here and there. I got through phases. Sometimes I make big changes to pages like the Vex, Hive, Taken then I forget about the wiki all together. But the discord’s a pretty cool place, you get to interact with other contributors. I invited others to join as well. You can find the link in the homepage. Obviously we have our disputes over the lore, but we’re all trying to add the correct info.

I understand your sentiments 2020 has been a pretty rotten year.

I wasn't even aware there was a discord and don't have that app downloaded. And honestly, I feel like those kind of discussions should happen on the wiki's project pages so that all users can see it and know what is going on? I mostly make edits when I have the time, and the past few months have been... well its 2020.

With Beyond Light approaching I wanted to try and get back to editing more like I did in the past. I've made an adjustment to the expand section template that allows the addition of what lore/mission entries need to be added to those sections, so hopefully that will help clear up any confusion on that. In-use and missing content templates like they have on Wookiepedia would also be useful.

My apologies if I’m acting rude, but your stubs aren’t helping. Now say if you were to provide details in what precisely needs to be added in each section in your summary then that would be fantastic as that would help everyone identify the missing links.

But you’re adding stubs without being clear and some pages don’t need it. Also most of the time no one is going to add them, I mean there’s pages that still have the Forsaken and Shadowkeep new content boxes. Honestly it’s far better if you join the Discord because then we can coordinate these edits with everyone else and discuss what’s missing in certain pages etc.

We’re pretty good. Recently we changed up the Taken page and a few other pages. Some have created the banners for Sand Eaters, Sky-burners, while others are writing walkthroughs. Even if you might not have the time, we can still talk about it there. And if given the proper guidance someone might be able to include the lore and references that are missing.

Your presence there would be very welcomed.

Why are you being so hostile and snide about the stub and references tags? This is literally how wikis work and why those tags exist. So that any user can see it and fix it if they have the time/ability. It's not "lazy" behavior - I don't have the time to write more detailed entries to fix anything at the moment besides some obvious missing references like on Saladin's page. Literally every single major and secondary character page is missing extensive amounts of lore entries, missions, quests, and weblore, along with references. So much so that it would take months for one person to finish. You've been doing great work on the Spider's page for hours today but there is still a ton of work to do on it, so those tags shouldn't be removed until it is. I was just going through some pages today to mark where future work clearly needs to be done, and was planning on starting to take care of some of those issues soon. There really is no reason to be rude about any of this.
