That's not gonna happen, and I'll be brutally honest with you with my opinion. Looking at the Recent Changes page and from what I've heard, really it's a no man's land for touching. I think it's more a matter of no one would want to edit the wiki cause it would have to be a minor edit, no one could go in and make a wall of changes. To me, the wiki doesn't look like a wiki open for anyone to edit, it looks more like a wiki run by two individuals who probably have their own goal and visualization of how they want it to be constructed. For someone like me, the only things I could do for the wiki would be to go through and make minor edits to grammar or re-organize things. It's not worth my time to do that, instead it's easier to take the low road and just let whoever is currently working the wiki do their thing.
edit: I'm not trying to push you in the dirt for what you do. In fact kudos for working on the wiki, I'm just putting my two cents in.

Okay fine. If thats what you think, although I could hardly see why you think the wiki is only run by two individuals. And in the long run, I already know noone else is going to contribute to the wiki moreso then they already do, just from my post. That was just a feeble attempt by myself at getting some more contribs around here. Most of your paragraph did not make sense to me either, anyone who has the information can go in and edit the wiki.
I'm not asking for a wall of changes I'm just asking for a little help, and I sort of figured it might have worked but I guess its apparent that it didn't.

According to the Recent Changes tab before November 28th, only you and Laburey were the main contributors of the wiki. There were some other people who chipped in too but in a sense he's not totally wrong to say that it'll be run by 2 individuals.
And well, nobody gets paid for doing up the wiki, and it is a pretty tiring job, so i guess most people won't bother with the wiki.

On the recent changes page, a majority of the work being done on the wiki is by two people. Technically yeah overtime different people have tossed in something, but that's the impression to me which is why I stated it like that. I'm just saying that might be a factor to why no one is contributing as often as you might like. It might be the comfort knowing other people are taking care of the wiki and they don't need to edit it. It might also be they don't want to interrupt the progress the current editors are making. Or they don't know where to comfortably start editing the wiki.

That's cool. I was just stating why someone like me won't edit the wiki. I was hoping to get the ball rolling by expressing my own opinion, thought maybe a few people would chime in explaining why they don't edit it. Everyone probably has their own reasons for not editing it. If you are serious in wanting people to work and contribute to the wiki, it's probably important as well to figure out why they aren't IMO. Or perhaps guide people to what info needs to be collected and put up there? Not exactly sure.
