Missing: Orbiter Forum on Wikipedia!

[Spacethingy]

This may seem a little trivial, but to me, it seems a shame that the forum gets such a small mention in the Wikipedia article, merely a link in the links section.

After all, many important addons are developed released here (as the Orbithangar is part of the forum), and lots of bug stuff gets reported to Dr Martin from here too.

I've got no idea how you edit Wikipedia pages, so....

Give this post your "thanks" if you like the idea...

Why don't you just edit it? Yes, I have read your "I don't know how to do it" - I just think personally, that it isn't a valid argument, since it is way easier to add a link to the article, than to reach orbit.

OK, so that was a pretty pathetic "please do it for me" attempt. :blush: Sorry!

You're right, it's not that difficult. I've practised with the links problem... I'll see what I can do.

Personally I disagree with you. Wikipedia is (supposed to be) an Encyclopedia. There's no point in adding a paragraph saying 'this forum website is a forum for the software' and anything more than that just fluffs up the page with pointless info about the forum rather than about Orbiter itself. A link at the bottom is all it needs IMO, no matter how much of the Orbiter community lives on this forum.
