Full guide for all gods (developing) (required help)

Hi everyone. I and my team is now developing a full guide of all gods in Santorini. We have done a few simple gods and would like to post it somewhere in BGA.

However, BGAWiki would not be a good place since we have a full description of how to use the god and how to counter it. It would be too lengthy to happen on BGAWiki, since BGAWiki "strategy tips" gonna happen under our gameplay when we are playing.

We would like to ask for some help about this, like can developer create a new page for us to put all the tutorial for all gods? It would be good since it is more user friendly that player can simply press on which god they would like to learn. We have thought of posting on this forum, but this is not really a good idea since it would then be hard for players to find a specific post of a god.

I hope someone (even not developer) can give an advice in doing so! Thanks!

Now, all BGAWiki content for Santorini can be read during our gameplay. However, I do not want to be like this since our content are so lengthy, but I do want to have a a page for us in BGAWiki like Bulbapedia for pokemon, while that page content should not be under the strategy tips one can see during a game since they are so much. This would be more user friendly since player since simply go to that page and click for which god they want learn.

Sure but would this this page be under the strategy tip during gameplay? which will be a mess when player is scrolling down, since our guide is super lengthy :/


Thanks for the suggestion though, we would consider that thanks! :)

I met this problem when I'm trying to edit it:

I have allowed cookies on that wiki and did log out and log in... what should I do? Thanks.

Your guide definitely DOES belong under strategy tips section. There is definitely no other place for this. That's entirely what you're writing. Length is no problem. Users don't see this unless content they click it specifically. Worry not about length. Just be sure to use appropriate headings so navigating the guise is easy.

The main "how to play" wiki includes the text from all Gods, FYI, so please don't repeat this part :)

Bad link. Must access the wiki over https://

(BGA admins should really put a redirect in place)
