Question regarding the Wiki

The bottom line is that the Wiki [https://wiki.endless-space.com/] seems kinda sparse compared to what I would expect. I know the game is in early access (I joined upon the initial offering) and back then, I didn't expect much of a wiki. But now, about a month out from release, I'd have expected the wiki to be been expanded and filled out. 


When, if at all, might the wiki be expanded to cover gameplay tips as well as metric and statistic type details about each playable race?  Am I simply mistaken to expect this? 


I love the game. I am just not very good at it and I use wikis to explore what I might be missing.

I would like to see it expanded too. Right now it's basically a marketing tool, promoting ES2 features. But we're in a holding pattern now, where it wouldn't make sense to include things like gameplay tips, since many features are still being added or changed for balance reasons.  


Also, players can't add info yet (see the notice at the top of the Wiki). When that changes -- presumably after release -- we should see more useful info added by the player base.

It's not so much a wiki as it is a content list at this point. I'm not sure how much "later" they want to open up community editing - if at all - but if the official wiki here doesn't answer questions that are expected to be covered in a wiki, there will be other unofficial wikis that will take its place elsewhere.

Hey guys, at this stage the wiki needs a hefty amount of development to be done on it before we can consider opening it to the public. This means that "release" as a time window for our web team is way too close.

 

We know it would be really cool if we were able to make this editable by the community, unfortunately, at the moment we have little in the way of resources to dedicate to it.

Might make it easier, if you make people apply for the ability to add to it.  That way its just not anyone that is able to edit it.  Maybe even make it so the changes have to be reviewed before being implemented. (I am not sure how much labor this would require though)

I would like for the wiki to be more informative with respect to game mechanics.
