2v2 is really really hard to write about, and it's not played in proleague anymore. For those two reasons, it's on the back burner. I doubt that we'll ever get a guide on it, unless Insane or someone who is equally as good is willing to write a guide on it (as opposed to his bgh guide, which is good, but not exactly liquipedia material imo).

would screenshots of a VOD for player pics be ok, or are they copyrighted by MBC/OGN?

I've been doing screenshots of VODs for TLPD pics since forever. I think you'll be fine.

It is highly preferred though that you use actual photographs, because VODs are pretty bad quality for pictures.

Liquipedia would be mildy different because the pictures need to be larger. And it has weird copyright issues involved.

Is there a plan in progress for standardizing the format on the players' pages?
|
Would a page showing the tech tree for each race be necessary or something that is too simple for Liquipedia?

What do the different colors mean on the contributor page? There's normal blue, light blue, and white that shows up for me.
|
Each time a new page is created it should automatically be included in the 'Stubs' category. This to easier build up all new pages so that they don't disappear unnoticed.

Id like to suggest adding a tldp ize button to liquipedia. I was trying to add some vods with names but i had to manually look for the players in the forum. Thanks.

Uh. There is a plan - all the players pages are technically "not ready" becuase we haven't linked to them from the sidebar. We're still not sure how we want to organize all of them. If you have a suggestion as to how we would organize a sort of "players main page" then go ahead and talk about it in #liquipedia on IRC, here, or send me a pm.

You need to manually edit in the stub - We try not to approve empty pages too much, but sometimes we do miss the pages that should be "stubs".

not sure about this one. I'll double check (or someone else can) and get back to you on that.

We will put it in. A lot of the unit stuff wasn't in at launch because of the Starcraft wiki that concentrates mostly on lore was already around and we wanted to bring Strategy first.

Hey, I'm a complete newbie to wikis, but how does the editing work? I kinda would have appreciated if there was some way I could explain how what I edit makes things right to whoever is to approve my changes? I'm gonna quote and break it down to show what I mean;
ZvP Builds
Builds against Protoss range from the more aggressive 5 Pool, 9 Pool/9 Pool Speed to the more economic Overpool, 12 Pool, 12 Hatch, or even 4 Hatch before Gas. As an early surprise you might opt for a 3 Hatch Zergling. Midgame options are 3 Hatch Spire and 3 Hatch Spire into 5 Hatch Hydra and the 5 Hatch Hydra into Muta.
Ok, the way I see this it seems that they have divided this into opening builds and midgame options with 3 hatch zerglings thorwn in in between as they haven't put in a category of all in builds. My problem with the other two categories (opening builds and midgame options)is that 4 hatch before gas isn't really an opening build any more, that's more like the very beginning of some branches of midgame builds, with all the others you can still branch into any midgame option.
Now among midgame options we have 3hatch spire (which should be called 3 hatch muta) and 3hatch spire into 5 hatch hydra and then another with 5hatch hydra into mutalisks which doesn't fit at all as it's just a continuation of the 3hatch spire into 5 hatch hydra. It seems really confusing to me when they are put as different midgame options. I would rather just have linked to the first then have the mutalisk switch linked there or inserted into the article.
That or said that zerg builds that aim for competing against protoss in the midgame are 3hatch spire (then branches from that into muta, scourge/hydra scourge lurk, 5 hatch and delayed muta, etc) and 4hatch before gas, (branches into +1 carpace opening mondragon style, hydra into muta, hydra into lurk etc) Zerg also has several all in builds(all in builds branch or list all examples there) that aims to cripple or kill the protoss before the game reaches midgame. ( but that all ussumes protoss didnt go for a fast +1 rush instead of stagate, in which case a 3hatch lurker would be an awesome build to set oneself up for midgame and all those builds depend on protoss opening FE and not 2gate or 1gate)
Actually the more i think about it the worse it becomes, for it to be worth something for a noob you need to separate opening builds for it's self then do different followups vs 1gate 2gate and for standard FE. It's just so much to add, and if I were able to somehow divide it up it would be way longer than the ones for ZvT and ZvP with a bunch of terms with nothing written about yet.
I guess, my question is, how can I do anything about this without rewriting and reorganizing the entire ZvP builds sections again one by one and hope an admin approves for all the changes i make?

hey can u open up the player bios yet? I think wed have a better idea of information to gather if we had a list to worl with versus looking up names and seeing if its there. I mean im sure theres a lot of people with info out there that dont realize its important simply bc they dont think ab it, but if they see its missing theyre more likley to act on it

Hey to all of those people editing Player Bios out there,
One of you wrote a lot of content up without a login and didn't site an acceptable source. Now I don't know if I can get ahold of you because you don't have a login. Imagine how much you are going to hate me if I have to trash your articles ![](/mirror/smilies/frown.gif)
koreanprosc.com isn't a credible source. Gotta find new sources by tomorrow dude or I have to roll them back.

Player bios are still in the wiki, they just don't have a link to the category page on the bar on the left. use the search box or find their category page if you want to take a look at what's there.

or you could look how to put it in - I was messing around with Dia, but documenting how to do it, and then actually running through and doing it was looking really hard ^^ PM me if you actually want to try, and/or if there's more interest for me writing this up.
