Fish Wrangler Wiki:Community Portal

Welcome to Fish Wrangler Wiki!

Generally the Community Portal is where a wiki community comes together to organize and discuss projects for the wiki. Since we're still a small community we're keeping things simple for the time being and using this as a starter help page for anyone interested in looking to contribute, learn how to ask questions in the wiki, or simply explore what a wiki is about. All Wranglers are more than welcome to contribute and we'd love to have you aboard!

March 12 2009: Check back frequently, we'll be adding to and refining this page over the next couple of weeks. If you've any suggestions on improving it, click on the discussion tab in the top right corner and fire away! If you want to remain anonymous, that's fine, but we encourage you to create an account even if you only want to ask a question, make a request, or offer suggestions. An account simply makes it easier for you to keep track of what you've posted here and also for other contributors to get in touch with you, offer a hand and answer your questions. Use any name or nickname you wish to register, it doesn't need to be your Fish Wrangler! or Facebook profile name. If you're not sure how to create an account, instructions are on the first page of the tutorial in the 'New to wikis? section immediately below and takes no more than a few minutes.

Head to the Wrangler's wiki forum page to get an idea of what's afoot or offer suggestions via the Watercooler. If you have a question you haven't been able to find an answer to via the main discussion pages, ask away and we'l do our best to help. Most importantly, have fun exploring, this wiki is for YOU!

Under Construction

The wiki is currently under "renovation". Many pages are currently in the process of being upgraded and a newer, better wiki should be ready by the end of June.

In addition, the following features are being considered for addition:

1) "Just started Fish Wrangler? Read this!" section This section is for the new-comers to start off reading the wiki. A simple guide on what information should they read first. It should be a restricted guided flow of information presented to them so that we do not overload them with too much information. New-comers may be intimidated in reading these massive amount of information, with no idea where to begin reading first.

2) "Overall Walk-through of the Game" section A detailed overall walk-through of the game. This can be created by FW veterans where they will discuss their own strategy walk-through. Cross referencing existing information links throughout their flow of walk-through will greatly benefit the reader against repetitive reading of information.

3) "The Tourney Strategy Center" Section This section teaches wranglers on how to improve their tourney rankings. Competing in tourneys is not just about RLC, attractants and luck so FW tourney veterans will give insights on how they compete in the tourneys and remain consistent in their rankings.
