[QUOTE="doctorhook, post: 4899984, member: 58401"] I suppose I didn't make myself totally clear: I definitely don't think that a wiki can, should, or will replace the discussions that go on with regards to Character Optimization, but I definitely believe wikis to be the perfect medium for the presentation of CharOp work. The forums remain the ideal work environment. I think the forums should be used, just as they have been, to discuss the merits of given character options and combinations thereof, and AFAIK, they're not going anywhere. That said, I definitely think that "complete" works -- builds and handbooks primarily, at least insofar as they can ever be temporarily "completed"/brought fully up-to-date -- are far better served by being a part of a wiki, where the entire community can help update and format. Too many builds and handbooks currently suffer from abandonment and infrequent updating, and even of those that are regularly updated, the quality of content and formatting varies widely. A wiki could help immensely with ensuring consistency and quality, as motivated community members would be able to make direct contributions to a single project (all without the pitfalls of using a communal account).
