The faf wiki is quite frankly nearly useless as of right now. To change that, it needs a few things but the bare minimum would be to have the unit stats exported automatically from the DB to the wiki's unit pages (which would be largely generated with their relevant sections for manual edits) so that each balance change can be reflected on the wiki by running a simple command.
This way we could also have a comprehensive changelog for each unit which is how every single wiki out there for a game comparable in complexity to faf works, a random example being the dota 2 wiki : https://dota2.gamepedia.com/Storm_Spirit#Recent_Changes.
The comprehensive unit matrix from the OG supcom wiki
is also something we need there. The way information is unnecessarily hard to access (can't check the db if you're on another pc) is harming our new player retention rates, meaning I suspect that most of the people who sign up, install faf and actually stick around long term are people who were already playing supcom years ago. I don't have any stats to back up this claim, but I think any effort to advertize the game to a more general RTS audience is wasted before the new user experience gets a serious overhaul. I'm tired of reading people saying faf isn't growing because it's too complex of a game because I don't think it's even remotely close to being true, although the game does look unnecessarily more complex than it is from the outside given the problems highlighted by biass and I.
Some help for the wiki generally could be used, especially for the unit matrix part. I tried to write a script to export the unit db to a valid wiki page format, however I feel like I'm doing this the wrong way and surely there could be a way to just recycle the db html code itself, if anyone has any input on any of this, feel free to share below.
