As developers, a lot of our time is spent adding features to and fixing issues in the client and server. Unfortunately, a lot of time is not spent by us creating comprehensive documentation of what we add to things like our wiki. Although some parts of the wiki are nicely written, there are entire blocks of Squirrel functions, Squirrel events, and other pages which aren't written, or written less than optimally.

We'd like to see scripters and players contribute more to the wiki to help it become a better resource for new and veteran scripters alike. In accordance with that, we're going to be rewarding contributors with a forum badge that looks like this:



As a small token of appreciation and recognition.

Badged contributors are recognized for making consistent and high-quality revisions to the wiki. If you think you've made a sufficient number of good edits to the wiki, feel free to poke me if you want to receive a badge. Alternatively, just make a bunch of high-quality edits and let me know if you think you've done a good enough job, and I'll either award you a badge or let you know what you could do better.

The inaugural wiki contributors on the forum are:

Their contribution histories have been linked to provide examples of what good wiki editing looks like.

I'd encourage you to continue editing to be honest. You've only made five edits since registering.

Who's actually checking to see if the edits are of value? I have heard from others that there is a lot of bad content on the Wiki. Badly written code isn't helpful to anyone.

@Klaus, Totally agreed on behalf of your information. This is why the developers did this: Obtaining Wiki Editorship

I'll try to edit the messy part of the wiki. For now, I'm testing the events and editing them in the wiki. Hopefullly, many of us has started to edit the wiki, for the reason, they want to have this badge, which is a good thing for us.

Well, D is also a scripting language, and that's the language which I use in my ST3 as the default syntax highlighter, it was suggested by Thijn and it looks awesome. It covers nearly all the functions of the Squirrel
oh no
