Thanks all three of your for your input. Mechemik i agree with your thoughts on specific 2077 infoboxes, however i wonder if we are able to keep the single character/gun/vehicle etc infobox and have it cover all aspects. For an example, the character infobox would have the picture as it is now (with the options to select where they are portrayed) with some general information such as DOB, status etc, then we have specific sections for the RPG and the Game. Not sure if its possible, but i am thinking either one giant infobox, or like with the profile picture, the option to select which information is seen at any one time. That way we wont have users mixing up the infobox to use or having the issue of duplicate infoboxes cluttering up pages. I have attached an image to show what i mean if that didn't quite make sense. I Guess we have not seen much of the current item systems such as health, food, cybernetics etc so we cant quite compare them to what appears in the books, but if its possible to make a similar infobox for this kind of situation too, where we differentiate the game and books in one neat package.
Leeloo, i think your point regarding the types of weapon shouldn't make much of a difference, at least not that i can see. I Imagine they will all use the same stat system such as Rate of Fire, damage etc, though we might run into an issue with Melee weapons.
Hopefully we will get some better insight into the types of quests soon with more Night City Wire episodes. One thing to note is that the "World of Cyberpunk" book is still slated to release in a few weeks time (At least according to Amazon in the UK unless i am mistaken) As Atvelonis also pointed out there is also an official guide coming out too, however it appears to be on release, rather than before. If the Witcher World book is anything to go by, it will give us some excellent insight into the lore and current state of the world, but the game guide is going to be invaluable for shaping the more technical side of the wiki such as quest structure and stats.
Atvelonis, wow, thanks for the input that really helpful and has put a lot into perspective, such as where are focus should be directed toward. Thankfully the user Raylan13 (which I could have sworn was a wiki staff member) came and did a complete overhaul of the categories about two years ago now. I’m glad its put us in a good place for the upcoming game. I reluctantly agree with your point about focusing solely on the game. When I re-booted the wiki it was partly because the scarcity of RPG information for those interested in the series, however I do think that target audience is very minor. We also seem to have a lot of critical information that will tie-into the game, I think we would be in a very unfavourable position if our Arasaka page was bare, but I also think the minor details are probably not going to be beneficial in the long run at this current time. I mean, lets be real, nobody is going to go looking for a page like Da Vinci Somatic Artisty as its almost 100% unlikely to appear in the game. I Will start to look at the major players of the series to ensure they are up-to standard but then the focus will be on the game. I Mean already our daily view count has gone up x8 since the Night City Wire episode.
I Think it will be good to get in more staff for the wiki, however we lack the dedicated editor base and the few instances we’ve had in the past have turned a bit ugly. Hopefully it will pick up and we will look at those dedicated editors to help shape the wiki.
I Think the insights portion of the wiki will also help, i must admit I had no idea the majority of those pages existed and I really only kept an eye on the daily view count. Going forward that will definitely be something to use and guide us.
