I've been looking at the wiki, then at this thread and felt like making minor contributions that hopefully will add up to a more usable wiki that's not incredibly full with adds. Turns out I had to register in the BG forums to do that, so I did. I wanted to share some brainfarts about the wiki there, but it won't let me post links, the lifeblood of wikidom, without 10 posts there, so I'm doing that here:
Consider adding an "absolute upgrade" (superior stats, more jobs covered, etc...) links section, when applicable, in pages like equipment or food to make it quicker to check if there's something better with no downsides. Mostly to help decide if an older or lower-level item is worth disposing of by selling it, dropping it, or handing it to some NPC who'll give you something like bayld for it.
Stat+ and Stat- categories (ex: all items with STR+5 would be covered by Category:STR+5, all items with Evasion-3 would be covered by Category:Evasion-3, assuming Wikimedia's notation permits it) - then linking to the highest/lowest category for a given stat would make it easier to find best-in-slot items for a given purpose, which would be simpler than maintaining a table of items with stuff like the highest Blue Magic skill stats. It's a bit of a rough idea, admittedly, but could be useful, especially if the categories were then linked to from the page for the corresponding stat.
Polar/Pyric Bulwark distiction - from what I read these are supposed to be 2 different Hydra family moves, but the page for one is a redirect for the other. I read there was a name change a while ago, but I think both moves exist and do different things? To add to the confusion, it's not really clear if there's any mob/NM of that family that does use whichever one of those is supposed to be learnable by BLUs, as "classic" Hydra is often not listed in pages out there about the spell (why yes, it's my next one in line)...
As a side note either the BLU spell pages or the mob family pages could mention something about which mobs are the exception when it comes to learning a spell from them...
The main wiki page's category is Food, but I can't find Main Page in the Category:Food list, odd...
There's a great google docs document out there with info on trusts - how legit would it be to bring its content to bgwiki? (I don't even know who's maintaining the doc)
Pages to look into as a starting point to contribute in small ways that may add up to something useful:
https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Special:DeadendPages
https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Special:LonelyPages
https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Special:UncategorizedPages
https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Special:UnusedCategories
https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Special:WantedPages
among many other categories in
https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Special:SpecialPages - not to mention good ol' "What links here" (I didn't know about the icon on item pages being a link to that either)
It's interesting that this exists:
https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Category:Removed_Monsters but maybe it could go under a broader Deprecated Content category? I don't expect it to be a big category, but maybe it could cover things like the Delfkutt Key that was turned into a key item years ago, or that one item that used to be required to enter Ddynamis before the whole system was revamped?
This should probably be more visible:
