No, it isn't an all there is to know. There is much beyond nuts and bolts and that, seems to be a changing area because of mods, tactics, and knowledge.
These things mentioned would be indeed worthy topics anchored in one way or another into the CM. You like many other players look for more information, or perhaps an elaboration of details or information about methods, tactics, and so on.
By design, the CM wiki can be ever-changing. Or, community supported.
Existing topics can be edited, corrected, edit-talk, watched, modified, interlinked, redirected, categorised, revised, heck create 4 or more headlines in a topic and the software automaticaly creates a table of contents for it. Images can even be uploaded and placed with topics.
The exact same thing can be said for a new topic.
But to elaborate a "page" could be done for a mod, topic or any subject and then categorised and listed easily, instanty becoming available by links or search. There is nothing set in stone, with the exception of a few protected pages. Otherwise the CM has the potential of being something of an unlimited resource. If, IF - that was indeed the case of a community effort then it would certainly free up the forums here for topics of disscusion wich the CM is not designed for.
The CM also has a Current events section, a community portal - somewhat of a sandbox for things needed, things done. Plus a decent search feature. And last but not least a recent changes feature, which a user track editing history as a whole instead of just a particular subject-topic. There are no ads, no pop-ups, and the site is paid for, for now.
I decided to restored the CM after it was down for months and months of neglect. The old sub-sim forum even had a sticky for it.
Whats the old saying; you can bring a horse to water but can't make them drink. Indeed. Since it's restoration besides myself there have been 2-3 other people who have made contributions, and I would thank them for their time. But if you don't belive me use the recent changes feature, the software doesn't lie. Out of how many thousands of users, even a few hundred with potential knowledge to add? Nevertheless a poor ratio whatever the reason.
Please forgive me if this sounds like an angry rebuttal, not ment to be. But far less then a handfull of people can't be expected to do all the work. When I see posts about what it isn't, complaints and such it reminds me of what a give-me give-me place the internet realy is. And then as a webmaster one begins to wonder if the efforts was worth while.
