What's up with Liquipedia? Volume I


Some stats to kick off
300 content pages at release. Now we have 719. We are approaching 14000 total edits. Our views have reached 420K.

We are getting there. If you haven't checked out Liquipedia yet (shame on you!), it's just under the big "QU" in the horses banner or directly at http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Main_Page

Status Quo
The Progaming section has finally officially been opened on Liquipedia. What exactly do we want here? Well, pretty much anything and everything you could think about to do with Progaming. Be it a Team history, Player biography, Tournament Results, Revolutionary Series... the list goes on - and it all has a home on Liquipedia where it can be immortalized. Unsure of how to get started? Well you can first check out some great articles that are already in place. The Boxer article and the Bisu article are great examples of Player pages. You could check out the SK T1 page for a good example of a Team page.

We are also now updated the front page of Liquipedia with weekly news. On the front page this week we have the unit size diagram as our weekly picture, and the Zerg strategy guides as our weekly work in progress. We also have our first wave of promotions: Sunhay and Ideas! Both will join the reviewer team for Liquipedia. Sunhay has been doing some incredible work with progaming Players and Teams, as well as drafting concise tables and charts. The front page mockup is just one example of Sunhay's work. Ideas has been a monster when it comes to edits regarding information and players. He relentlessly applies the Style Guide, and has shown promise on the reviewer staff.

We are always looking for new personnel, and every time we see a good edit of yours, we take note of you. Good and steady work is the best method to receive attention, and we'll surely get to you when we need you. However, we will initially limit the amount of promotions, simply so we can help work with candidates one-on-one.

What are we focusing on this week?
We want to become the most up-to-date and concise strategic resource on Starcraft outside of Korea. For that we need your help. It's very easy. Did you see a game on TV? Do you have a favorite Strategy that you'd like to share? Did you find a good post in the Strategy Forum of encyclopedic value? Just take the time to sit down and write it up. If there is good substance in it, Liquipedia will make it great. We promise.

If you are unsure about the correct syntax, either get help on IRC or PM staff (Aesop, cgrinker, GHOSTCLAW, mikeymoo) on here. Our second weekly objective is giving each player some love with a sufficient profile. This should be easy for you guys - seeing as everyone loves to talk about their favorite player in explicit detail. The easiest way for you to help is to simply add in any notable features about your player of choice such as:
- Style
- Achievements
- Rivals
- Great games
All of the above, plus anything else you can think of which is relevant, has a place on the players Liquipedia profile. Just one small note, please only use NeverGG picture for player pictures - those are the only ones we can use due to copyright.

If you are looking for things that should be fixed, or maybe added to, see the list of short pages. We also have various stub templates that mark still unfinished pages and put them into the Stub Category.

Users at Work
Liquipedia is nothing without those highly motivated users that spend hours and days making the world of liquipedia a little better. We have asked two a few simple questions.


+ Show Spoiler [Candidate one] +

+ Show Spoiler [Candidate two] +


Final Words
Don't be scared to edit. We are there to help and we'll do everything possible, to make your edits count. Even if you can't conform to the style guide, or simply struggle with English, the Liquipedia staff will take your edits and turn them into something useful. Come hang out in #liquipedia on quakenet and the next installment might have you in it!

Thanks for the update Aesop. Yeah I have some work to do in Liquipedia...finishing up adapting Chill's timing article! This was a good reminder.

Keep up the super work, Liquipedia staff and contributors!

You'd be surprised at how much you can add if you just focus on one thing. For instance, if you want to add a page about YellOw, there is a myriad of information around TL in various interviews and progaming tidbits which you can find with the search function and add to the yellow article. It's just going to be a long a painful process transferring as much of the information on the forums into Liquipedia.

The Liquipedia is glorious and beautiful and informative. I love the useful links in each page cross-referencing other pages that might be of interest, the links to epic games in the player pages, the amount of information is like a summary of all the major threads and recommendations for teams/playes/strategies. Everyone involved in this is awesome. Keep up the great work.

It's probably a bit ambitious... But I see no reason that can't happen for various important finals like Bisu/Savior.

I totally agree, I think it should be rather easy due to the TLPD VOD database, the LR threads, the summary threads from previous tournaments... Doing summaries of most SL games should be a cakewalk with enough contributors. This is something I might have to start doing n_n It would be a fucking awesome feature.

i don't know if this has been done but an article with transcriptions of Day[9]´s Podcasts or the audios with some kind of summary would be very nice.

Perhaps you could also give some tutorials on how to work on wikipedia. Myself, for example, have never changed any pages before and have no idea how to do it or what to do in general.
