The other thread reminded me: since wiki registration is going to be closed for the foreseeable future (because of spammers, nothing to do with trying to control normal membership), it might be nice to have a thread here where people can ask for accounts, instead of having to PM me. So, if anyone would like an account to edit the wiki, just post here with the username you want and I'll set it up. There are lots of pages that still need work, everything from tweaks to major additions, so any help is welcome and appreciated!

Oohhh, what kind of things are needing to be added?

Like transcripts of anything in game or...?

I wouldn't mind helping you out with anything needed!

Well, as a starting point, I know quite a few of the Shadow Priestess, Zero Movie and FF4 & FF5 chapter pages are incomplete, and we could do with more location pages for FF1 and FF4 especially. But to be honest, most of that sort of major organised information dumping is already done - it's not like, "Okay, we need all documents and character pages for this game," so much as the jumble of little things that get missed or left for later when the big stuff has already been done. So you occasionally come across sections that could do with some fleshing out, or missing bits of info that are small, but someone will have to play through the games to find them.

 

What we really need is just more pairs of eyes to spot mistakes or other things like that. For example, Rui Kurosawa has been going through and correcting a bunch of FF5 vocabulary and spelling that we were using before the official translation came out, which is really helpful! Or if you see something that needs work, even if you can't fix it yourself right then, adding the not finished category and making a note of it on the talk page would be amazing. Adding references to articles is always helpful as well (though kind of fiddly and time-consuming, so I understand if it's not what people would rather be doing).
