Help
This dry period doesn't mean the Dojo has been completely out of work though. We have been hard at work preparing a Blade & Soul Wiki for everyone. An encyclopedia haven for all the Blade & Soul information you can possibly think of. From your favorite races lore to game mechanics (when they're released of course). The wiki's foundation has been set and is just waiting for your fingers to get it rolling with information.
With this Wiki comes new Dojo staff openings. To make this wiki as clean and organized of an environment as possible we're looking to recruit some new Wiki Team members.
So what does a Wiki Team member do exactly?
Wiki Team members are entrusted with keeping our wiki as clean and organized as possible. This includes warding off spam edits, banning misbehaved members, correcting edits and more. They must keep themselves up to date with all Blade & Soul information as well, placing that information on the wiki as fast as possible.
Wiki Team members must provide the qualities of self-starters and go-getters. If there is information to be found and solutions to be explained they have to possess the innate ability to go out and find these things on their own terms and not wait for someone to tell them to do it. They have to be dedicated to what they do and be willing to teach others as well as learn from others who are also helping run the wiki.
As a Wiki Team member you'll be expected to:
- Be active daily within the Wiki community.
- Be on your best behavior at all times. Make the Wiki a warm and welcoming place.
- Be helpful! Provide detailed solutions if you know how to solve a users Wiki problem.
- Delete off-B&S-topic articles, also known as spam.
- Correct user edits, including misspellings, grammar and bad facts.
- Update the wiki with new released information right away.
What are the requirements for such a position?
You'll have to meet the following requirements in order to volunteer for Blade & Soul Dojo's wiki team. We ask that all potential applicants meet these requirements before submitting their application.
- A clear understanding of the English language (Superb English skills).
- Previous Wiki experience is a must.
- Must have good organization skills.
- Must know the Blade & Soul game through and through.
- You must be somewhat active on our boards prior to your application.
- No warn points on your Dojo record.
How do I apply?
If you feel being a part of the Wiki team is the thing for you and you meet the requirements posted above then it's time to apply.
How well you set up the page and how in-depth you make your article will determine your acceptance. Use this sample article to show us what you've got, don't hold back! Get creative!
The topic of the article will be Blade & Soul's playable races. You will be using your own words of course, a simple copy paste of pre-existing Race descriptions will not suffice. Ready to begin? Simply register an account with our wiki (here) and begin by editing your own user page. Please note that placing the article on any other page will not count.
Once your user page is complete private message the following information to Revast and title the message "[Your User Name]'s Wiki Team Application".
- Name: Your real name.
- Age: Your age (obviously)!
- Location: Where you live and your time zone.
- Online Hours: Approximately how many hours you spend on our forums each day.
- Experience: What are your experiences with Wikis in the past? What Wikis have you contributed to the most?
- Sample Article Link: Place a link to your user page on our wiki containing the sample article here.
- Additional Comments: Is there anything else you'd like us to know? Leave it here.
- Contact Information: Leave your MSN, AIM or Skype information here.
We're looking to recruit roughly 2-3 new Wiki Team members for now. The acceptance process may take some time so be patient! We will get back to everyone who has applied. If you weren't accepted after the recruitment process here is completed, fear not! We will definitely be opening up recruitment again in the future when we feel the wiki has grown a reasonable amount.
Thank you for your time and enjoy the wiki everyone!

There just really isn't any new "news" about B&S but this is good news regardless.
com'on team BL...
1. When you say u are recruiting do that mean you are looking for people to manage it as in volunteer or are u hiring. Wiki editor for BnS would be an outstanding job to have but I need a job here in college so couldn't really volunteer that much of my time if it wasn't. Just not quite clear on what u are looking for.
2. When are you closing applications
3. Also when u say English do you prefer American or Australian spelling because I am Australian and try to spell it correctly normally but if you prefer american English thats fine with me too.
how completely useless ¬¬
i feel the same way.
We appreciate your hard work.
how completely useless ¬¬
Man shut the F*** up, at least your should apreciate it
for the guy who talked about useless information that we know i want to see you go and get some new info instead of just sitting there and spam BS.. or else you are not worthy of saying such things.

I can only answer your first question, for the rest wait for Revast response.
We're looking for people as volunteer. Most positions in every wiki are usually just volunteer positions, not paid ones.
how completely useless ¬¬
Useless? I wouldn't say so. This way we can start already gathering all the info in one spot and when the game actually launches we would have already the best Wiki based on the game with every tiny info out there gathered in our Wiki.
You're free not to use it since you find it so "useless", but there are many people that will definitely find it useful.
Oh, and a little suggestion. Try not to sound so rude, even if it is your way to express yourself some people might consider it rudeness. Just saying...
Everyone can be that, it's not like it is restricted to Wiki Member. Just go to the wiki and keep an eye out, it's that simple. All the tools to prevent spam edits are available to all members. (Aka, Undo changes and stuff like that.)
I would apply though, but I don't have any past Wiki experience, so I guess it's a no no. ;-;

(dont pay much attention to him, he is kind like that)
I second this. =)
I'll enter all the Gon and Destroyer information I can, that I can guarantee
how completely useless ¬¬
...You enjoy this don't you?
On-topic: Now that I can Finally see this site again, and thus the Wiki,
I once again say to to the admins and the wiki-staff: Great job guys,
it's looking damn slick so far. Still an early stage, true, but even so it looks very nice already.
Keep it up, eh :]
- Lith. ...Back!
