This is the truth: The wika is still an mess.

I took controle over this wikia broken. The original creators of the wikia never finished the basic content of the wikia itself and when they became inactive the other content died with it. The content that was broken during that activity is now finished. So it fact we now start from zero on those broken parts.

Andibad your source content simply speedup the repairs on that moment. Without your info we never where able to confirm the info on that short amount of time. It was never my intention for only rely on your content. It only felt that way since it's an lot faster than manualy ask confirmation to multiplay users. Some content like for example block dragon is almost impossible to find without your source info. That missing info could be called damage since we where not able to ask confirmation to the users when the content was created.

On community level this wikia is still under zero. Communication doens't happen how it should be and the policies that keep this all under controle are not compleet and nobody follows them.

The last thing is the behavior of the users. Users react before they have time to read of even attempted to navigate for it first. If they even does an attempt to find the page they still ask question with the most logical answers. The perfect example is request how to breed an dragon this is listed as unique or how to breed an legend or pure dragon. All that info can perfectly be found on the page of creation.

If the content is recently is released it's in their right to create the page if it doesn't exist yet. But only under the correct name. In most cased users are beter to simply post an topic about it in the forum. When they do this they don't even try to have a look if there is not an topic created for it yet. Even when they do all that they still request it on an unproped language and don't even try to find info about the released content. It's now info for everyone and even the release time can be usefull for a wiki.

Than we come to the unreleased dragons. I think this is one of the anidbad frustrations. During the behavior of the user they request the page for it before this content exists in the game. Even with the update in the policy players still ask silly questions about it. Players that doesn't known better create the page. On that level the unreleased tag is an good start.

So andibad, your source info is an good thing. The trouble is that the content get abused by users and whe don't have the team and structure yet to prevent those abuse. Here some perfect examples:
 * Hide unreleased content: HTML is not enouge. Content need to be hidden template sided.
 * Unreleased policy: We really need to have an good one. I already created an section for this in the Rules and Policies
 * Etc...

When it comes to the current team. On many wikia's there admins from 14 years old. In our case, we just don't have enouge older users that wanted to do the job on that moment. The bureaucrat promotion was simply to make sure their remains an active bureaucrat out here.
