Revision as of 16:13, 22 September 2008

The purpose of this page is to co-ordinate editing of the WKB.

Every page on the WKB is listed here.

There is still a lot of content that needs improving.

If you can think of anything that needs doing, no matter how small, add it to the task list below.

Sadly there's only like, three people who edit this wiki any more. Ideas:

• beat people with sticks
• forum posts - get this wiki some exposure

Task list

• Poke SupSuper about that readme
• Installing WA on Windows Vista (original CD) Windows Vista installation guide (wanted: list of people who have got it working - drop names on talk page)
• Mission walkthrough (Worms Armageddon) Text walkthroughs for WA Missions (are there any guides out there we can plagiarize paraphrase? i just can't be arsed.)
• Running WA without the CD Add Daemon Tools tutorial for no-cd play (bonz's name comes to mind)
• WA Mission Customization Guide Add laymen's guide to editing missions (who knows anything about this?? drop names on the talk page please)
• Clarify Cluster Bomb Head Explosion re: difference between W2 and WA behaviour (Melon & Reg had a kerfuffle about this, ask them)
• Sudden Death find out exactly how it's triggered (i might do some tests)
• Post-game awards (Worms Armageddon) add info

Scheme articles

• Minimum standard for adequate rating:
  • Suitably comprehensive description, with rules and variations if applicable
  • Setup infobox with scheme download
• If a scheme is largely devoid of strategy, the article need not have an entire section for it. Mentioning the lack of strategy (and covering what little strategy there is) is sufficient.
