Is it good enough as it is? Does it need slight improvements? Should it be radically altered to serve new purposes? Could you be a good administrator? Post words.

I think it's pretty good as is in terms of quality, however a major update including completion (of sub pages) and currency is in order, especially concerning high scorers and episode/level information. (How hard would it be to get a current 0th demo for every level put on the wiki?)
Also, I'm concerned about the Wiki in terms of how easy it is to find. I think it's pretty hard to search for/find, perhaps some better advertising will not only increase visitors but encourage higher quality and more complete articles. That's what I think.

Some pages really need to be updated.

Like this one.

[Edit: And this one.]

Oh, and it's particularly slow on my computer. I don't know if this is just me, though.
Achievements:

Completed N and NReality.
106 N v1.4 highscores.
I used to maintain 1000 NReality Level Top20 Highscores - Ranked 0th
Former Owner of Episode 169, way back when.
I've taken 10 Metanet 0ths. 6 of them lasted <2 days. I don't have any of them anymore. >:(
Third Place in BLUR 4 highscore.
Not highscoring anymore until v2.

It definitely needs improvement. Alot of pages are either missing or contain two or three lines. I could do some editing but I haven't been here that long.

I think if we all try to make an effort to edit each other's pages, it could easily get a lot better. I think the layout itself is fine, but it seems the Wiki fell into a bit of a decline after its initial popularity a few years ago. If we could get that popularity back up, I think it could be very good. We have a few new users who don't have pages yet, so we should get on that.

I've made a couple of editions. What annoys me though is that most of the pages consist of a couple of lines, and some people just treat it as their personal page. It's supposed to be information, not funny (the pages aren't funny anyway).

I'm going to edit it out where people say things like "Echarin is a dude who makes good maps" or something. Because it'shighly informal word and I think we should keep it as formal as possible.

I may be able to work on the walkthroughs on the individual level pages, especially if other people are willing to help out. I would probably do a easy/completion route, and a generally accepted highscore route (not necessarily the 0th, on some that may be a seperate route to describe.) Not sure when I'd be starting, or how long it would take to get things rolling.

I'm surprised how hilariously out of date the highscores article is which was posted by 999 Srpings. Cyberjuda still had 11 0ths, xaelar only had 20. Wedgie123 was still in the top 20 chart and I didn't feature in any of them (although I must've been pretty close).

You clearly haven't spent all that much time with this community. The people here are anything but formal. I mean sure, we're formal on the surface (this post is "formal"), but in reality, a lot of us are fun loving jokesters, and I think the Wiki should reflect that. It should be written formally, but I believe that it would be acceptable, and even beneficial for us to be at least slightly humorous.

I've never used the Wiki much, but it's always been pretty good in my opinion. The pages are generally fairly accurate, and the graphics are decent... though the main page could look a little more spectacular, I s'pose.

I just made a slew of minor updates a few days ago, and added a couple new articles (link, link). The site needs major updates, but the trouble is we don't have an organized group of community members ready to make said updates a reality. But the more attention the site gets, the more likely cleanup/reform/polishing is to happen, so I commend threads like these.

Oh and there really should be a link to the N Wiki on the NUMA "Other" page, but I believe there's already a Uservoice topic for that.

Has anything been done with this yet? Just checked again and saw no change. Or is it such that we can't do anything except maybe resubmit pictures for all of them?

The images are there, they're just not... showing. I've contacted the Wikia staff for help.

I've just started contributing to the wikia; so far I've made one page and edited another. Since I'm currently on holiday, I reckon I could make several more pages in the next couple of weeks.

EDIT: I must have made/edited about 20 pages in the last three days. I could get a lot more done, too, if it didn't keep crashing/not working >:/
