What would help the most is if we could somehow get the Wikia guys to help us as well, but last time an attempt was made to get them onboard the owner of that wiki didn't want to :/
All improvements are fine with me. The only things that aren't fine are edit wars (none have happened so far) and vandalism (we used to get a number of spam bots before).
1) For the most part the wiki-related pages are in the Project namespace (Crusader Kings II Wiki1) At the highest level, a separation between pages that deal with the game, and pages that deal with the wiki. For example, The Dead Linger Wiki has the main categories Content and Organization, which contain pages about the game and pages about the wiki respectively.
2) There needs to be standardization in category names. Some are plural, some are not. Category names are generally in the plural (e.g. a "Lists" category).
3) Category names need to be clearer.
4) Subcategories need to have appropriate categories over them. For example, "List" is now under "Game concept", which is weird.
5) There need to be more subcategories. "Modding" currently has some articles about particular game files, which probably ought to get their own subcategory.
And as an aside, article names now use title capitalization, while it is standard for wikis to use sentence capitalization rules. "Building Analysis" would properly be named "Building analysis" on most wikis. (E.g. on Wikipedia.) It'd be a lot of work to change now, but it irks me, so if I have the go-ahead I'm willing to make the change.
age-name). If there are any exceptions please point them out so I can rectify them.2) True that.
3) Not sure which you're referring to, but some of them could probably be clearer, yes.
4) Point.
5) There aren't all that many modding concepts that have enough pages to justify subcategories yet.
6) Titles are titles, and are capitalized as such
Every edit automatically gets flagged as "unpatrolled" unless you're a member of the autopatrol groups (or one of the other groups that includes those privileges). It is pretty useful for spotting spam, but once someone has made a few edits in good faith it doesn't serve a purpose any more, so I add them to the Autopatrol group so their edits are no longer flagged. It also means you get to bypass all CAPTCHAs, which thus allows you to post links to external sites and such.
Feel free to help out by making edits yourselfGreat job meneth! Good luck with keeping everythign up to date when the patches come rollign in
Looking forward to it.
Looks good for the most part, but that "New Titles" bit should be formatted as a list or similar; there's no need for a section per title.
And that sub-mod should get its own wiki-page. Just put it at the bottom of Lux Invicta as a "see also".
Oh and I simplified the box on the side; there should never be more than one or two people listed as "Author" there; if more people than that are involved it should be stated in the article itself.
Buereaucrat lets you give out user groups. Uploader lets you mass upload images and files (like I did with the trait images; uploading over a hundred images manually would've been hell).
I assign them. Almost anyone who's made more than a few edits get assigned to Autopatrol.
Women can definitely have children with other women, yes. There was a post about it recently on the CrusaderKings subreddit.
Putting that on the wiki is fine by me.
Would be lovely if this thread got stickied, though I wouldn't get my hopes up.

If you want to contribute, just register and find an article to improve upon. Any improvement is appreciated; anything from fixing spelling mistakes, to formatting, to adding more information to existing pages, or even making entirely new pages.
According to the latest statistics, the wiki is getting slight over 100 000 visits a month, 50 000 of those unique visitors. This is rather fantastic.
In total these 100 000 visits have given the wiki 280 000 pageviews.
Since the wiki was first launched we've had a total of 525 000 visits, 215 000 of those unique visitors, for a total of 1.7 million pageviews.
However, as the Project Wonderful ads have not provided enough revenue to pay for hosting I'll be trying Google Adsense ads instead. Hopefully they will provide enough to completely pay for hosting, domain registration, and so on.
Edit: Here's a graph of pageviews to the CKII Wiki over time:
The EU4 wiki hasn't done quite as well yet

Because Paradoxian registration is indefinitely closed.
Even just adding additional bits of information to existing pages is great help.
I've hidden the toolbox for viewers that aren't logged in, as my stats show that almost no one uses it (and it isn't of much use to anyone except editors anyway).
Pretty much everything on the wiki has now been changed to a proper naming convention system. All titles are uncapitalized (except the first letter) unless it is a proper noun.
