Just curious what people think since I do a lot of the wiki updates.

Do you guys think the wiki's look better like this with the names of fighters they fought linked?

Or like this without the fighter's linked?

I generally link it the first time the fighter is mentioned, just makes it easier to immediately look at who the fought, who they train with, related to, etc.

With them linked looks cool and is useful. great work man. I also like how you do the TUF fighters format.

Thanks man, thought it would be cool to have that TUF info handy like that! I know I had looked at people wiki's before and it wasnt in there so figured having that was helpful!

I think it's a good idea. I've done some wikis where I link to the fighter's page. Usually do it with the TUF fighters because they've fought a bunch of lesser known fighters. I know I did it with Bristol Marunde and a few other guys that I can't recall off the top of my head.

haha thanks man! I think they look pretty good with the links added so going to keep on doing, and if anyone else feels like going through any fighters and doing it too feel free.

Yup, the linked looks is a great touch man. I love how you and hiblet go on Wiki sprees. Great work, imo, gives a great depth to the Tap database.

Looks good Poir! I'll start doing the same so there is some continuity throughout the site.

I like the link look as well.  I will try and remember to do that the next time I get around to doing my retroactive play by plays

If we're on the subject of awesome Wiki updates, you guys should check out Gloom's play-by-plays (for example, here's his longest one, Ruas/Taktarov II).

Dude puts a LOT of work into them, actually watch-pausing the fights to get them just right.

I for one, think they're awesome!

Been thinking about doing a few myself, but I'm so lazy I'd probably start with Duffee/Hague and still get tired :)

Play by Play:

They touch gloves, Gloom refers to his retro PBP's, minutes later yoss begins talking them up with used car salesman timing.  The ref calls it a No Contest due to an accidental clash of heads!

Can we write wikis in other languages? I've seen a couple wikis in Polish and Spanish. Sounds great, although English is preferable as it is the common language of the site, I suppose.
