It would be a great out of game resource if it was up to date.

Thanks for volunteering

If you've never tried PvP in EvE it's quite possible you've missed out on one of the greatest rushes available in modern gaming.

Yep, this needed a new topic...while the last one posted 2 hours ago is still on the front page....

This didn't even require SEARCH...this just simply needed LOOK.

I know I know... ::effort::.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Approx. 3.5 billion years from now, the Sun will be 40% brighter than it is today. It will be so hot that the oceans will boil and the water vapor will be lost to space. The ice caps will permanently melt, and snow will be ancient history; life will be unable to survive anywhere on the surface of the Earth. You can rest assured however that Evelopedia will still be incomplete, out of date, and under construction.

The topic you are referring to was my topic most likely. But the question needs to be asked and I (And perhaps OP) was hoping for a DEV answer...

The reason the wiki is so out of date right now is because of the following:

http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/ISD_YARR

See that? One member of YARR. The team in charge of keeping it running.

Legend tells that when the Barbary macaque monkeys leave Gibraltar then the evelopedia will be updated.

How about you sell some add space on evelopedia and than pay someone to keep it up. Currently it is an absolute waste of server space.

that doesn't help at all as the biggest problem is the evelopedia data dump (ship & module stats) being out of date, not the articles themselves.

For example: https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Claymore

This can only be fixed by CCP running automated updates after each major patch, not by volunteers changing individual pages.

For what?

You can't edit the parts that are out of date.

There's more than just one ISD member of YARR. In fact on that page you linked the top 10 Contributors for that page are :

ISD Kreul Intentions [11]
ISD Iceyabo [11]
ISD Alassien [10]
ISD Elumiel [9]
ISD Eshtir [8]
ISD Detroit [4]
Bashar Miles [4]
ISD Shiva [3]
Le Dentiste [2]
ISD Crystal Carbonide [2]

Anyway, I agree with the OP, the Evelopedia definitely needs to be updated.

More importantly, the Evelopedia item data dump should automatically update itself when those stats are changed in-game.

i find the style of the wiki quite amusing tbh. Usually its written like this:
8 years ago game mechanic X worked like...
2 years ago it was changed to...
5 pages later
forget everything you just read, game mechanic X doesn't exist anymore

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

Seriously?

You've got to be kidding me.

That is just totally unacceptable.

I like the part where it's the unpaid single ISD guy who is in charge of it instead of, you know, a paid employee.

Yet another reason I should volunteer myself to their ranks. I already give so much of my time to improve Eve, I might as well add a title.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.
