Anyone else annoyed?
« on: November 05, 2022, 11:11:21 AM »
I wish I knew how to edit wiki's, because every time I go to the G3 Baby Ponies catagory of Mylittlewiki, I see that they have incorrect information listed and I get so annoyed.

They say there's only 1 G3 Pegasus baby pony, when there's two! Mochanut and Honolu-Loo.

Unfortunately I have no idea how to fix it, I don't think I even have an account. (well, if any of you know how to fix it, you can, it says the same thing on Honolu-Loo's page too)

And it's weird, becuase on Honolu-Loo's page it say's she's the only Pegasus baby pony, but her image isn't in the baby ponies catagory page! Mochanut's is though.

Note to self: if I notice an error or a missing pony on My Little Wiki, make a post here to let 'em know. :lol:

I kid, I kid. Mistakes are easy to make. I really appreciate how quickly it was corrected. I can imagine that listing every single pony, as well as everything else, is tough.

I certainly didn't do a lot of that work, but I can always hop on and adjust things. :) My attentions are on other wikis lately.

Welcome to my online pony life since 1998.

I wish I was joking but I'm so not.

Only in my case, it's G1 things and Euro/UK releases.

I've been trying to get this page corrected for about ten years.
http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/G1_Exclusive_Ponies

There are too many errors and gaps here to list. Frankly, the page is so inaccurate it would be far less confusing if it didn't exist.

7 years ago I sent an itemised breakdown of the issues with corrections to the Wiki to help them sort out the problem. As you can see, nothing happened, and it's now 2022.

So yeah. I get very annoyed.

The thing that sucks is the main page for G1 ponies has been locked, so if I could dig up that list, I still wouldn't be able to edit anything on there.

I'm not blaming you, TRTL, or expecting you to fix it. My frustration is historic, and I don't expect it to be fixed soon.

It's a symptom of a deeper problem within pony information, generally, and the stupid year system DV introduced, which doesn't suit non-US releases at all.

My bigger frustration is that my website predates all of the existing mainstream ID sites, and that page, and so there's not really a valid reason why the list should be so wrong. THe information has always been out there.
