I'm curious as to why not many people appear to be editing the wiki. While it's not inactive by any measure, it certainly is lacking in contributors, judging by the size of the several to-do lists.

SIDEWAYS SLASH
how do i shot wiki and understimating the importance of what I know

and lazyness on things I know exist, yet refusing to contribute anything that's not original research

also hideous presentation and whatever, and to an extent pressure added by reporting in that I can't just leave a mess nor edit things a billion times

which combined with not knowing how to use wiki software just makes that I don't upload stuff often unless it's something notable enough

This is pretty much how I am. Then again, I'd probably be too slow anyway, and everyone would finish stuff I would work on before me.

I'm really busy with schoolwork at the moment... maybe when I have more time I'll be able to poke around games more often.

Because I'd honestly rather work on my hacks...and as such there's only a handful of games I'd care to TCRFise...some of which I've done already.

Because simply, I just don't know how.

I'm not very into the community here, as should be relatively evident, and haven't really bothered asking how I can help.

On top of that, I have other prior obligations that take a good deal of my time away from doing anything that COULD be a help to the site.

I'm much more of a Wiki Grammar Nazi than I am a Wiki Contributor. Plus I have no idea how to find unused stuff. I could /document/ it somewhat, but I'm not much of a hunter.

I haven't the foggiest how to look for unused content in a game.
Besides that, I can't think of any game I'd want to search through that hasn't already been done before.

What, no "but I do!" option?


Though, I will provide a reason for why I don't contribute more than I already do. I don't have any hacking knowledge, so I can only use tools that others provide. However, I make up for it with attention to detail and dedication to thorough investigation. If there are a bunch of files, I'm going to look at every last one.

A mix of " I don't know how to find unused content nor how to document prototypes" and "school/job", but mainly the latter.

I used to know a bit of ROM hacking and whatnot but that all waned over time. Now I barely touch anything related to programming at all. Too busy learning (actual, spoken) languages.

I'm mostly here because, uh, I like you guys. Oh, and I like playing the creations of the SM64 forum.

Would upload some screenshots comparing the Japanese and American version of Scud Race/Super GT, but I'm too lazy.

I lack motivation to do much of anything.

Which reminds me, I still need some screenshots for that Animal Crossing article...

Yes.

I realized as I started this post instead of explaining why I'm not doing work on tcrf, I instead went off on a rant. The reason I'm not working is confusion over how to continue working on the Pokemon Red/Blue articles, but the rant is about the confusion. So read at your own risk.

<rant>I've tried my best to get every new discovery about Pokemon Red/Blue in the articles as soon as it's discovered, but honestly, the article is a mess. I'd like to hope someday it can be Featured Article material like Gold/Silver are, but with so many different versions of Generation I games, it's hard to determine what regional differences belong, what don't, how to split differences among subpages, etc. Additionally, unlike other games where things can easily be broken into "unused music, unused dialog, unused maps, unused items, etc", Pokemon has a lot of misc. things which look cluttery to the article ("default total pp of struggle, unused battling aim, butterfree for beedrill trade, north/west/south/east options, etc").

But a big problem is literally how different all the versions truly are. The game has been reprogrammed, as well as purposefully reworked for different versions. There are two versions of Japanese Pokemon Red/Green, the second including some bugfixes. Japanese Blue was mostly reprogrammed. English Red/Blue also seem fairly different from the Japanese Red/Green (but similar to Japanese Blue). Then you have German, French, Spanish, Italian Red/Blue versions, which seem split up into two groups (German/French and Italian/Spanish). Each group shares a character set, as well as one group still has the Cinnabar Island surfing glitch (German/French), the other doesn't (Italian/Spanish).

So yes, a big mess. And what differences belong in the article, and what don't? In my opinion, things like "In-game trades", "Japanese Blue Game Corner prizes", and Unknown Dungeon's Yellow version don't belong, but my opinion isn't the only valid opinion. Glitches don't specify which versions of the Japanese games they belong to, and are just sort of haphazardly added to the article with no clear sense of order. Actually, that problem seems to plague most of the article.</rant>

I chose other. I don't hack roms, I don't use emulators, and I don't go easter egg or hidden goodie hunting.
