Once we have a more concrete draft of the exact changes we want to make, it will be posted for everyone to see and discuss.
Help is always appreciated, especially help that comes in the form of giving us very shiny and very useful things we can use to make the site better! There isn't much that can be done to prevent this at the moment, but if you're a developer and you're interested in helping us mitigate the damage, there is currently an open pull request for a redirect system that could use a lot more attention, even if it's just something like "hey this ain't it chief, let's draft a better one". Hopefully this won't happen too often, and it shouldn't be happening at all on the high traffic pages. We are accounting for and correcting onsite links and referrals as they come up during the restructuring process, so no need to worry there. Please note that this process will break offsite links to TASVideos if they link to any page that gets moved, renamed, or deleted, so be careful about linking to specific TASVideos pages offsite until the end of the restructuring is announced. Feel free to bring up anything that stands out to you as strange or out-of-place: Chances are, it actually is strange or out of place, and those are precisely the things we want to fix most.
Progress and discussion will mostly be happening in this thread, and everyone is encouraged to take a poke around the wiki and offer feedback on what changes should be made to provide a more accessible and easily understood site wiki. I'm proud to announce, admittedly far later than it should've been but still better than not at all, that we're working on changing that with a full wiki restructure project! Old information will be updated, misplaced information will be moved to the correct places, weird old pages with nothing on them will be removed, and by the end of this hopefully the wiki will be less confusing and contradictory towards itself! Unlike a living 20 year old, however, those oddities haven't actually gone away in that time, and as a result we've sort of just kept a bunch of them archived on the site wiki ready to confuse anyone who looks at them. TASVideos will be celebrating its 20th birthday soon, and like most 20 year olds it has seen its fair share of weird oddities and changes over those two decades.
