hm, the wiki for sc2 maps is pretty much a joke compared to BW's archive of maps, would be nice if someone would start clearing that up a bit, and add every map after sc2 beta because that seems to be how far it is updated.
alternative to neutral supply depot under base design under community mapping discussion can be cut, as it is outdated with unbuildable rocks/bricks/plates
also iCCup heartbreak ridge bug under known editor and map bugs under mapping suplemental information, this part is basicly basic knowledge of sc2 mechanics which people just didn't understand that early in the game.

Yeah, I'm hoping to extend things into filling out Liquipedia articles, etc. For example, Map of the Month is back, but the wiki only covers the old organization, ending with its partnership with ESL.
I'm contemplating about how to go about handling outdated community discussions, because they might still provide some insight or inspiration to new mappers even if the discussed application is no longer relevant.

I wanted to do this a few months ago, but I didn't know where I'd begin. Good to see that someone took the initiative.

Would you wanna work on a Liquipedia article for Map Jam & Challenge, since you've been spearheading it for the past while? We're up to 14 of them now; the old MotM wiki only went up to 9! I think it's worth a wiki if we're gonna keep it going. For now, the link in the OP just points to a forum search for "Map Jam & Challenge".

I'm not particularly experienced with liquipedia though, so it may take a while (also, working on blizzcon stuff here and there)

Awesome, I've added it to the thread.

I'm gonna try and find time to rework the map section of liquipedia as soon as i figure out how to edit it without blowing something up, would be nice if people could help me with finding maps so I can put them in.
also, for the list of all maps, in which category's should they be sorted, the BW liquipedia is a mess in that with their alphabetical washlist of maps, so I'm currently thinking of splitting them per release year.

Sorting by year is a really good idea, I approve. Also what kind of maps are you looking for - how in-depth are you thinking? Only maps used professionally, or are you including TL contest winners and other stuff?

basicly every community map above the templar treshhold maps like whatever is on the pages of the map teams and what they have released. now I'm just looking for every community map that isn't on those lists, like individual mappers, so a list of a mappers and their map threads may be usefull, could also be included in the index here.

Glad to see someone else took this over as I had not kept it up to date. Good job.

So, I kind of want to put my creativity to the test and make a map. Once I get the damn editor figured out (things a mess and the scroll doesn't even work right), I'm gonna give it a shot. I have no ideas, and very little in terms of creativity so it'll probably be super generic...
