This is the way it is formatted and the way it needs to be. We realize it's a lot of work, but you don't quit something cause it's a lot of work, you work harder.
I'm sick of the negative attitude in this thread. There is a lot of amazing things going on with the wiki at large and the trickster wiki, if you can't see that, can't appreciate that, then well.. I just don't know.

Sorry but I somewhat disagree with you on this point: Regarding the quantity of games that we decided to cover, the solution was NOT to make a huge and uncomfortable Metawiki, but instead, a PORTAL leading to one specific wiki for each separated game. It would have spared us a lot of useless pain. Truth be told, I'm prefectly fine with the multi-games forum as is; still, a forum is not a wiki.
Oh and please, don't tell me to
work harder. There are what, a handfull of four or five people really working hard on the TO wiki. I belong to the new generation of wiki editors, and let me tell you that, now I regret the old MT wiki is forsaken: it was easier to maintain, and everything was running fine there. Now concerning our wiki,
there is just too much UN-NEEDED work just to recover something that was working perfectly fine before. Yes I went totally emo, now you know the exact reason.

I'm now waiting for such a script to come, and make me understand how wrong I was. Such a script would be my ray-of-hope, truly (see, I'm not negative all the time). Until then I take a break, I'm affraid of "ruining" the wiki even more.
Last, do understand that I'm not looking for some stupid e-drama, my only concern is that a wiki have to remain easy to browse by end-users, and easy to update by the editors. If one of those two points fails, the wiki fails...
