To put it bluntly, our newest users suck at editing.

Recently, I've noticed that there have been a staggering amount of redirects in the past week, which end up creating either double or broken redirects. Take, for example, the F.E.A.R. page. It's been moved to FEAR, which sounds like a good choice. However, said redirector (?) made nearly every F.E.A.R. redirect link to the new page. This created so much broken redirects that it's absolutely horrifying.

I decided to delve deeper into this mystery, and I honestly wish I hadn't. During the past week, a lot of users have created counterproductive edits on this wiki. For an example, on the Dued1 page, some user created a story full of rubbish about 1x1x1x1, the anti-lag script, and Minecraft. The new group pages are, for some ungodly reason, lacking the id part of the template. Why? And let's not even get started with the vandalism.

Nearly a year ago, we began the Clockwork Wiki Project, an effort to improve this wiki. However, several months back, we abandoned it due to lack of interest. Now that the wiki's in a worse state than it was before the Project, there's only one thing we can do now. We must restart the Project from new.

It'll still have the main goals it had, but the current progress on the Project will be wiped out, as well as any signatures that were on it. You can rejoin the Project if you sign your name in the signatures, though. If I am to do this wipeout, though, the Project will not be abandoned until it has been completed.
