Where do I suggest changes to the wiki?

Alright so I was browsing the wiki and checking what the best setup was for some captains when I noticed some pages are just filled with grammar errors and heavily opinionated. I mean look at the Cleveland page for instance -

Being the worst tier 6 cruiser, she can easily fools enemy by making them underestimate her.

Really? Being the worst she can easily fools enemy? *facepalm* I looked around on the wiki but I found nowhere to submit edits. There doesn't seem to be a subforum here either.

You can always make a thread like this or PM any of the wiki editors.  

 

As for the Cleveland article...  wow.  Unfortunately, with this being a wiki, any player has the ability to edit these pages.  It gets frustrating at times because people come in and write what you saw.  We often see this happening with upcoming premium ships as users like to parrot what certain community contributors state.  I have rolled back the changes that were last made, so there should no longer be any grammatical errors and strongly biased opinions.  Thanks for us aware of this!

You can change the pages yourself.

 

And who wrote that... lol

One of the drawbacks of having people whose native language isn't English edit the wiki is that sometimes what you get isn't all that legible.  Feel free to fix it or bring it to our attention.

Sadly, there are plenty of native English speakers who ought to go back to school...

Thanks but my screen doesn't have that. It has locks on the "Ship/Discussion" buttons instead.

Edit: Oh I just realized the "log in" section at the top.....

Though they mostly get their point across without being terribly opinionated or subjective, there are plenty of less-than-well-written articles in the WIki.  Too wordy.  Bad grammar and punctuation.  Misuse of contractions.  Too many, redundant, or unnecessary qualifiers.  Etc et al...

 

One of the worst offenders is the HMS Lion article.  Excessive amounts of lion puns through most of the page.  Tries way too hard to be clever.  Nearly every sentence and bullet point contains lion puns.

You're not wrong, but with a staff of 11 volunteers and more than 200 ships, there's a limit to what we can do... especially in an open wiki when anyone can come in behind us and wreck an article.  I try to catch that when it happens, but we're not always perfect. 

Besides, there's more than just the ships in the wiki: consumables, campaigns, collections, clan functionality, all of these things require pages created that then also need editing and upkeep.
