either way, at this point i am in favour of at least removing the ones that aren't live at all (civvie and civcubed) as well as the test servers (civrev and civredemption) [[User:Des23|Des23]] ([[User talk:Des23|talk]]) 16:30, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
== Adding the Civ101 guide by Reddevel to the main page "Quickstart" section: ==
Please add the Civ101 guide ([[Civ101]]) by Reddevel to the main page. I believe it is still a work in progress but it is a very comprehensive guide and it is also catered somewhat more toward the current most populous civ server - CivMC - so I think that it could quite justifiably be put at the top of the "Quickstart" section. Another reasoning for doing so would be that it encompasses multiple of the other pages there within 1 page, including getting started info + mechanics/plugin info.
Since, the subject of editing the "Quickstart" section has come up it may also be a good idea to remove the timelines for CivRev and Civclassics from this section. Neither of these are anywhere near important information for a "Quickstart" now, as civclassics has been down for nearly 2 years at this point so its history isn't relevant to a "quickstart" and similarly CivRev is no longer up either and its history is not relevant to a "Quickstart" at this point.
::I do agree that Civ101 should be added to the main page, which I'll do soon. However, as a reminder, this is a wiki for all Civ servers, not just CivMC, and we don't have a timeline for CivMC quite yet. Showing history is important on the wiki to show the genre's depth, so I don't really like the idea of removing the timelines. There is a lot of space on the "quickstart" section, and I do think history is worth keeping. -- [[User:Specificlanguage|Specificlanguage]] ([[User talk:Specificlanguage|talk]]) 17:09, 1 September 2023 (UTC) I do agree that history is important too.
::Maybe a new box could be added below quick start entitled something along the lines of culture/history of civ/the genre. I feel like links put under the title of "Quickstart" are implied to be relevant to getting a quick start in currently active servers. However, the two timelines under the title currently - although historically relevant - actually have little relevance to any of the currently active servers or to any of the ones in development. So I feel like to keep that section along the lines of information needed for a "quickstart" it'd be better to move them to a "intro to the culture/history of the genre" section instead. As in reality none of the information in either of the timelines is really something new players need to be reading to obtain a quickstart. I'd say that if a CivMC timeline is created, or if timelines are created for any other active server, then those would belong in the Quickstart section as they'd be relevant to getting a quickstart on those servers. -- Solitaire7
