So we need to find other articles on Wikipedia and link to the Warlight article. I would look for other risk clones on Wikipedia and all the dozens of articles that discuss risk.

It's not just as easy as finding them, plus you can't promote only reference. As for the risk articles, most are company run (ie. Hasbro's Risk) and it may just be edited out since it's not relevant to their company.

The worst written page I've ever seen on Wikipedia. Let me try and improve things.

Fixing basic stuff atm because I'm a Wikipedia noob. I'll learn the code scripts before overhauling the page. Let's not have a stub here!

things that should be removed

-setup time
-playing chance
-skill required
-basic strategy
-alliances
-diplomacy

Will continue tomorrow. Very likely I'll completely rewrite a lot of it; feel free to try and make that unnecessary.

added to the Diplomacy section

You guys should take into account that the likely reader of the page is probably someone who's unfamiliar with WL, rather than a WL hardcore player. Including all that jargon and technical terms will mean nothing to that type of reader, and will just make them lose interest.

I realise how a Wikipedia article should read... Why don't you do some editing?

Seriously, stop adding Strategy tips, and other advanced things like that. The article looks like an advertisement about the game. We should explain the game, tell a bit about it, and these things, but not the same as in the Warlight wiki.

Also, for everyone who is not a native English speaker, we must do an effort and try to translate the page in other languages. I'll start making the Spanish Warlight article, you could do the same with other languages.

IMPORTANT THING: Don't add unnecesary things, and, over all, don't translate with Internet translators. They should be ready to be read by a normal person, so better translate with your own words if you are going to do it.

*Ok, maybe it's more difficult than I thought at the beginning, but I'll try anyways.*

I'll start translating into Welsh. I'll need to only look up words that I don't know.

Pablo it's quite easy and if you would read what is there, you would see that I have removed all the unnecessary crap. What is there about strategy is ok. I agree about the page looking like an advertisement... change it!

All we need to do now is add. Add something about history (plenty of references from the blog there), and something about every game mode (lottery, 1v1/ even team, ffa, diplomacy). Something about ladders. Something about tournaments. I will look at this later, improve and add. I have some time so I should be able to flesh out the page nicely in the coming days.

The page still reads terribly because I have only corrected stuff... nothing drastic has been done yet. I suggest changing the layout totally.

Intro

The Game:
Aim of the game
Armies
Cards
Game modes

History:

Competition:
Stats
Tournaments
Ladders
Coins

Community:
Forum
Maps
Strategy guides
Livestreams

That's the plan I will be working on anyway.

Did a small edit just about now, a few Title changes to make it easier to read and changed the 1-30 day time for multi day to 1-50


in case you were wondering my Wiki name is Warlightplayer5616

@Arun, for history this might prove useful: https://www.warlight.net/News
Also, I think clans should be mentioned under community.

Everything more specific proably belongs on http://wiki.warlight.net/index.php/Main_Page which also could use some updating

Well, I don't know who has been, but thanks for adding the article to Wikidata in order to let other languages, I didn't know how to do that :D

damn bot just messed up my edit

Also, there have been more than 5.9 million games played. Right now it's about 6.6 million games, so that should be changed. The problem is that there are no reference for that, although you can know how many games have been in the link of an Open Game. As the first game link number recorded was the 1000000, if a game link number is right now 7629000, there have been 6629000 games played. Please Fizzer change https://www.warlight.net/press, so then I can correct it in Wikipedia. Thanks.

if a game link number is right now 7629000, there have been 6629000 games played.

If someone creates a game and then deletes it, the ID number will go up but no game was actually "played". Therefore, the press page is actually the correct number.
