I've asked some of the helpers to assist as well. We're pulling together edits on the user guide, beginners guide and the main FAQs page. We have a few other ideas for guides to be added to the wiki temporarily before anything is considered for site page use. <br /> <br /> I can share ideas we're working on in here. But this is not my computer so I'll access the google doc once I get home.

Rarity is useful and I was told that Admins have the information for those.

Alright, I've bene editing away and..<br /> Is "rarity" in markings useful at all? I haven't added it in the BC new eye markings because I don't know what the "rarity" of the markings are. You can see the edit here: http://alacrity.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Markings_and_Colors#Eye_Markings_2<br /> <br /> and can someone help me figure out why "White Markings" is popping up beside that table? This is my first time ever editing a Wiki so I'm not sure how to do that lol

Awesome, will do Kittybot :)<br /> I'm working on markings right now. I have all the markings of one breed done already.<br /> <br /> <br /> EDIT: I am not changing the layout or anything other than the pictures for the markings on the older breeds. The black background was depressing.

Absolutely Clayton. I'll add your name onto the topic list.<br /> <br /> Hi CHNLianna! You can choose something from the list of things that needs to be updated, or look at the wiki and find something else that you would like to be updated. Just make sure that it adheres to the basic guidelines and post your finished piece here so that we can help you edit it and get it ready to put on the Wiki! :)

Awesome, I'd be willing to do that :) Could I also do the markings page? The brown base markings on the preview and dogs has bothered me for the longest time

Nope. The markings/colors page is totally separate from the <a href="http://alacrity.wikia.com/wiki/Dog_Breeds_of_Alacrity" target="_blank">Dog Breeds of Alacrity</a> page. It would actually be fantastic if the main overview included a direct link to the <a href="http://alacrity.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Markings_and_Colors" target="_blank">List of Markings and Colors</a> page though. <br /> <br /> Working on the dog breed page would include adding Pit Bulls onto the list (giving them a nice introductory paragraph like the others) and making sure that the statistics they list with each breed are accurate. For example, the original writer posts the order of popularity for each breed and the number of dogs present on the site. It may be safer to remove that information if it can't be accurately kept up to date. If you can think of a way to keep each dog's paragraph consistent with the others (some dog breeds have more information written in their paragraph than others), that would be good. Maybe add which order the breeds were released in too (I actually do not know the correct release order :-/). If you want to tackle some of the non-existing articles for each breed, that is cool too. There are only 3 breeds with follow-through articles so far. I have not checked them for accuracy.<br /> <br /> And these are just suggestions by the way. If you had something else in mind, I'm all ears. :) Or eyes I guess....

I'd prefer to do the main overview section. [Does this include the details/markings of all breeds?]

Sure thing Clayton! Would you like to do the main overview section, or pick some of the breed articles that don't yet exist? :)

thank you so much for taking on some of the work for this! i'll try to keep updating the wiki myself as well. i've been meaning to set up a 'this is how it should be done' page for a dog breed so the others can be brought in line with it anyway.
