Board Thread:Wiki General Discussion/@comment-25406802-20190826045002

It's been a while.

Over the past few days, I've been making time for myself aside from personal studies and activities that I do daily. The time I usually edit has been generally...at midnight. Not so healthy. During my nighttime expedition through the wiki, I've seen the addition of Extreme Demons to this wiki, such as Belloq and Kowareta. Kowareta, in particular, is an interesting topic.

First Concern
Levels in Geometry Dash are required to have a track that plays alongside the gameplay of the level. This song can be that from the official levels such as Stereo Madness and Hexagon Force to Newgrounds songs such as Marbl by Schtiffles or, a more popular example, Chaoz Airflow by ParagonX9. While there is a wide array of songs to choose from in the NG world (as long as they are allowed for use), artists may choose to use songs that are NOT in Newgrounds. The levels who have these songs are known as NONG Levels, or Not On NewGrounds Levels. While the level may be shown to have a song not on Newgrounds on videos, the level is still required to use a song FROM Newgrounds in the game. Thus, if you were to look for a video of a level, you may find a level may have two different songs because one is either not allowed for use or is not on Newgrounds.

Here, I ask: For those levels with what can be regarded with more than one song,should we include one, the other, or both songs into the infobox?

This situation is a relatively small situation, however, since there are not that many level pages in the wiki that contain more than 1 song. Regardless, it's still an issue within the wiki, and must be solved.

Second Concern
Stub pages. We have a lot of them. There are even certain pages hiding within this site which do not have a stub template but realistically have a lacklustre content to the point that they are barely edited. Even if they are edited, there is never too much added to them. However, it does not necessarily mean that these pages aren't getting enough attention-it's been more of a mixed back, where some do and some don't. However, the wiki should not set the example on approving meager edits on pages to set the tone for standard on how pages should be edited as when we have so much more potential as defined by certain other pages, such as SLAM or Sonic Wave.

From here, we can suggest that the users of the wiki as an entirety can help out one by one to fix all the pages in no time, but realistically speaking this is easier said than done. Despite the optimism, it is not in everyone's best interests to continue editing the wiki, especially on a thorough basis. I'd like to hear any solutions that can help solve these issues.

My main point: We should not allow unfinished, low-quality and low-info levels to exist for an especially long period of time in the site, which we have done so. To prevent this for the present and future, what should we do? Also, if we want to rack in meaningful edits from various users, how are we going to do so while making sure that other pages of the like can also be added for better quality?
