Correct. So if someone deletes content in a way that makes the wiki worse, the better version can always be recovered.

I will say however that in the entire time I've been here (almost ten years now) I have had to use that feature for ... maybe five or six separate cases? Something on that order of magnitude.

99.9% of the time people editing the wiki make it better, not worse.

P99 stops evolving after a few short years so it's permanently stuck in the stone age.

Hint: You should be playing retail with that progressive mentality of yours.

So not for everybody then, and "worse" is subjective in a chaotic world.

Contributions can be hidden which is as good as deleting them because nobody can see them anymore on the page and because somebody decided the contributions were "vandalism" or "trolling" they get discredited and sit gathering dust doing nthing and eventually get lost under a pile of minor edits.

Then there is account banning and IP banning.

All nasty stuff.

WikiMedia has admin privileges. So somebody can write a lie about you, you revert it, you get overturned, an admin steps in because now it's an "edit war", and the admin permanently bans your account and IP.

There's even a disclaimer on the wiki

The Project 1999 Wiki is not maintained by the P99 staff and may contain inaccuracies between the emulator server, forums, live EverQuest, and reality.

It's wise to have a disclaimer for a wiki because they are full of lies, it all depends on the admin(s)...how honest they are...if thety like you...if they like what you say...thetre is a bias and discrimination and lots of lies. Just take a look at Wikipedia, the mother of all wiki's....it's BS most of it and very tightly controlled by a small group of people acting like they are independent and far out.

I'm not so sure, I think they are as bad as each other tbh.

One is too advanced and one is too archaic.

A mixture of the two would be perfect.

One thing's for sure though, free-to-play is cancer and automated play is not good neither is multi-boxing.

If you can point to even a single instance of an admin banning someone, locking a page, or doing anything else that wasn't clearly intended to make the wiki better and/or enforce the established wiki rules ... please link it.

So you have admins, and rules, just like any web site does, and you consider "right" and "wrong" to be objective terms, rather than subjective terms, so if I disagree with your version of right you ban my IP address so I can no longer contribute...and you can ban me permanently if you want.

It's funny because I've noticed you telling people how looks are subjective but now you're telling me there's a right way of doing things and a wrong way of ding things.

I should have known there was order hiding behind the chaotic facade of these wiki's that are sprouting up everywhere like cancer.
