Also a huge thanks to anyone who has contributed to the Dota 2 Liquipedia. This Friday we set a new record for pageviews in a day on the dota2 wiki specifically with over 1 000 000 hits. Then on Saturday we spiked with over 40 000 users within one hour for Dota 2. These numbers rivals some of the other top events for us. (MLG Providence 2011 and DreamHack Summer 2013)

Even Valve were/are using Liquipedia to find information about the players and teams (our sources tells us).

So we hope more of you will want to help out in making it an even greater resource for all dota fans.

That's great to see it's active and being used a lot.

Regarding cosmetics, I've done Sand King's so far, working on Slardar at the moment, at some point I'll get round to doing the pictures, but I'm mostly doing this at work and sorting the pictures out is a bit too much hassle there, so I'm not too sure when the pictures will be sorted.

I have a little suggestion, regarding the cosmetics part of the website, it would be nice if custom animations/particle effects could be added to the template, ideally we could just put a yes for the ones that do have effects and leave the option out for ones that don't.

Hi guys.
I've recently been keen to contribute to the liquidpedia dota 2 wiki page and I was wondering whether if I could show a summary of a tournament such as the Manila Major into subheadings such as day one, day two etc?

Sorry to revive a 2 year drought

Sure do you want to show an example of this somewhere? I mean you can just edit any old tournament page or ongoing tournament.

Also this is the right thread so don't worry about bumping.

i've noticed a couple of your additions to some player/team pages. they're good, except the language can be a little too flowery at times. imo, text on wikis should be quite neutral in tone, and a lot of the adjectives such as "picturesque tournament EPICENTER" or "pulsating series" are out of place. just my opinion, otherwise keep at it

yeah I also noticed the picturesque thing, I'm not even sure if it's a good adjective for epicenter since it usually means something that is charming or quaint

Yeah the reason I used those adjectives because I wanted to describe the event in a different way, but I do realise why you have to be neutral. I probably shouldn't have used the word picturesque as it was a silly mistake but yeah I only started about 4 hours ago. It’s 2.30am here and I had fun learning how to format on wiki pages. Difficult at first but i get the jist of it

(probably need to learn more on citation) ^ _ ^
Probably another difficult thing is to write in a non biased way since I don't want to cause trouble.

But in the future I'll be working on most teams and players dota career info and filling in gaps if I see any. Happy to take any suggestions or advice.

Hey,

I want to write a paper on professional jargon in Dota. For that I need like two Vods of the same Event, preferably big like TI or smth, one in english and one in chinese.

As of yet I tried scooping around YT, but rly without any big success.
Does anybody know, where I could find this kinda stuff?

Certainly not in a topic about something not really connected with VoDs.

I posted in general forums earlier and a mod closed my thread and directed me here...
Can you tell me where to go?

I supposed he meant the Liquipedia feedback thread, which is here: http://www.liquiddota.com/forum/website-feedback/455658-liquipedia-feedback-thread

But your question is not really Liquipedia-specific. Liquipedia usually doesn't link to non-English VODs, unless there is no corresponding English VODs.

The latest videos, which show at the top left of each page, are the finals of the 2015 Dota 2 International. There are more videos that should be the earlier stages if that is not enough.
