I highly doubt I am the only one, but the EVElopedia pages need to be redone. Especially with all these updates and additions to the game over the past couple of years.

Probably the Biggest section that needs this overhaul is the Item Database.

Funny thing is I remember that the current wiki was installed with the intent and the means to update it "on the fly" when large changes where made to the game.

Somehow, something went wronk. Cry

I to have noticed some of the information on there is very outdated. I've mostly noticed stuff in the industry/mining areas when I go looking for a quick link to send someone, instead of trying to explain whatever it is they're wondering about.

The EVElopedia is not updated yet for Rubicon.
The last time it was updated was Odyssey. The main issue is the player generated content is on the same page as the item database info.

This makes the information hard to work with and has to be saved then pasted back into the page every time it changes.
Item database pages also are not searchable until you place some player generated text in them. This goes for specific items and the category pages which are generated like windows folders are to hold stuff. Each folder at each level generates a page but cannot be seen by the search function until a wiki page is saved at that link.

I seem to remember someone updating/creating an EVElopedia entry to make their scam appear legit. Am I making that up or does someone know anything more about that?

I can't seem to find any details about it. I recall that CCP came down on that pretty hard.
