the problem with the wiki isn't really editing privileges (though that's certainly a problem whose solution is to cause twelvebaud to reappear into existence), the problem is lazy people who don't want to put in any effort once their game finishes. This has always been the case and will continue always being the case unless something fundamentally changes.

As long as you can do that it will get added.

only brought it up because someone just used the wiki as a basis for saying the town is winning more games, when really the wiki is missing too many recent games to make that observation accurately

We need a wiki thats private like the one that exists that still had some sort of ability for sa mafia members to sign up in order to edit it, thats the main problem is that for some reason the one we have is unable to take signups for whatever reason.

The current wiki had a massive spambot problem (something like a dozen new spam accounts a day who would edit the most popular pages with their spam), so Twelvebaud decided to close registration so he could install new Captcha software or whatever, but unfortunately Twelvebaud disappeared off the face of the earth about the same time. As far as I know there is no way to get in touch with him to transfer ownership over to someone else.

Dude, PMing is way easier than going to the wiki, logging in, doing the captcha and adding it. Why are you complaining?

People aren't PMing you but are posting their games to the thread, so perhaps more games would get added if people who read this thread had access to add games.

I know I would rather add my own game than PM someone to do it for me.

Like I am not even complaining, I am pointing out valid problems with the current system which is not doing what it is supposed to at all.

I get that it is cool to keep a record of these types of things, but it is pointless to keep such an incomplete record, that it is almost better to not do the wiki at all if we are content with this level of participation on it

I don't think this is accurate either. However your 15% estimate is actually close to truth, I just went through the last two pages of the New Game Announcement Thread and cross-referenced it with the wiki it's pretty abysmal.

former mafia player Tagov actually used to do just that, and I did too for a while (again back when I cared). it's tedious though.
