Introduction and Timeline

Hello, I'm Hotchmoney. I stumbled upon this wiki in late December of 2009, and, after seeing that it was nearly stagnant, began editing. So far Iv'e added images for all COs, but my current goals are, in this order:

• Articles for all COs
• Templates for COs, properties, terrain, etc.
• Images for properties, terrain, game box art, etc.
• Articles for all needed topics in underdeveloped departments (such as Units)
• Expansion of notable stubs such as Advance Wars 2
• Use of the damage charts to add percents to unit articles (instead of the current high, medium, low)
• Formation of WikiProjects for each article type
• Rebuilding of a community for further expansion

Now, as I write this, I fell as if I am shouting to no one. I haven't seen an edit in the mainspace since April, and Wars Wiki is the 3rd Advance Wars-specialized wiki in a Google search for "advance wars wiki". I think I might just end up going on this endeavor alone, and I will do just that (slowly). That wouldn't be a wiki, however; it would be a website using MediaWiki software. I do realize that content will optimize search results and increase visibility, which in turn drives pageviews and the potential for new editors, however, and that will be what I will cling to as I attempt to take this wiki to and beyond the caliber of other Advance Wars wikis.

So there's my rant. I don't mean to sound pompous or arrogant, I just want to get this wiki back on track and make it really great. It's just that, as you could imagine, this is quite a daunting task.

Sandbox

Work-in-progress. I intend to make the colors vary for the CO's faction; this is the Orange Star palette.
