Board Thread:Suggestions on Baldur's Gate Wiki/@comment-3234315-20191128083600/@comment-3234315-20191201114751

The wiki's class articles use the class groups, classes sorts them by this, they appear in the class infoboxes; class groups influence experience, hit points, THAC0 and more, what a character can wear, etc. Some class articles have a section "Class group related items". If you would build a character by the Player's Handbook, you'll find them as well. So, they are something with relevance. And – though only for Steam players – there are even achievements for them: Epic Mage, Epic Rogue, Epic Warrior and Epic Priest. I admit that the in-game use of the terms is otherwise very rare …

I can nearly completely agree with your statement above, the things about usefulness and focus and impact on (new) readers of the wiki. The thing I do not agree with is the "established consistency" – because I haven't found that on this wiki. There were attempts, there were discussions about such topics – mostly between two then-being administrators; but these discussions are lost in talk page archives, their results weren't spread across the wiki, and the two admins haven't been active since two years; one of them has retired completely, and the other doesn't have admin rights anymore, neither. And, by the way, the existing written-down policies are mostly copied from another wiki, one of the founders came from (not this wiki's founder, the one of that that was merged with this).

About my "role" in this, in discussions in general: take a look at Baldur's Gate Wiki:Administrators, especially the last section. As already mentioned somewhere, I can't dictate any policies, my opinion is just an opinion. It might be considered a worthy opinion by others, due to me having wikiing experience since eight years on fifty-seven wikis altogether (not counting Wikipedia and related, though there's not much from me) and being an admin on four of them; also being a regularly active contributor on this very wiki since more than two years. And perhaps you will leave at some point of time – as other contributors do – and I will stay, and in the end it's me who's running the wiki "consistently". But except for this, it's still the community that decides about such policies, and my vote is equal to yours.
