This is just a rough draft, to make sure everyone's on the same page about what we need to achieve with the wiki. Feel free to comment and suggest improvements.

Basically, the wiki will have two main sections: Tutorials, and Reference.

Tutorials will be step by step instructions on how to achieve a specific goal, e.g. http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/Creating_a_custom_button and http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/Simple_Kill_Tracking_Leaderboard
We should probably have a template made up for this.

Reference pages are just information about something, e.g. http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/Game_Variants and http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/StarCraft_II_Models

This is mostly directed at payne, who's been making tutorials that are part reference, and putting them in the reference section.

Good idea! I'll make sure to tag properly my wikis from now on. ^^

OK, time for phase two of the game plan.

In http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/GalaxyEdit there are now a bunch of red links. Some lead to Triggers, Terrain, Data, etc. Others lead to Trigger Module, Terrain Module, Data Module.

The ones appended with Module are reference articles, or should be once they're made. They should have screenshots of the module and should explain in detail what each thing does.

The ones without Module appended should be tutorials about that specific thing. Text and Import don't need two pages, so there'll just be one reference page.

Alternatively, we just use the GalaxyEdit page for reference about the modules, by going into more detail about each module, like how it already has for Terrain. Then we have a separate tutorial page for each category. What do you guys think?

I at least think GalaxyEdit's wiki is very lacking on the aesthetic side. The images aren't very well integrated.
Else, I believe the current form (details within the wiki itself) is the best.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

not the map, the editor

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
