User blog:Samhiuy/New Update Online! What will its name be called? You decide!

Hihi It's a me, an unnamed traveler
Alright, there is an new update right in front of us, and we need to find a way to sort out the incoming information. As of now, I have added the new car pages, and you guys can go WILD editing those pages. If anyone has bought the BMW M3 Sedan, please help to add information on its page (Max Rank is important!), and on the the Season 9 page as well.

Update Name!
So, there is problem right now - what should we call the new update? Aventador Update Tenerife Update 2015 May Update 2015 Spring Update (Honestly, it depends on where you live) Other - New suggestion

We have always based the update names on what is prominent in the updates. For the Decals Update, it was mostly about adding Decals. For the San Diego Update, it was mostly about the map. There was also the Winter Update as well. Updates are never named after a specific car. This is probably due to the fact that there are too many cars to be identified with that it can lead people being mistaken about the update - such as believing the update to have only added one single car. Maps are usually added 1 at a time and it was the same for decals.

However, Tenerife Update just sounds...weird in comparison to San Diego Update and Dubai Update (but it does work. It sounds a bit unique in nature). I believe it is up to the community to decide which name is more fitting to represent the new update. If the page is already made and named, then I believe the admins can help to rename it (shall they approve of such an event). Cast your votes!

Maps and Tracks - How should we sort them?
Right, here is another problem. Unlike the past updates, the map that is added does not have a track that represents it. With the Dubai map, you have the Dubai track; with the San Diego Harbor map, you have the San Diego Harbor; with the Tenerife map, you have...erm, about 4 tracks which are NOT named after Tenerife.

This means that when we create the pages, the Tenerife page will be slightly different than the others. That or we can choose to merge it with one of the tracks that represent it well (however, that doesn't really sound good). I believe it should remain separate. Unlike other track pages, this one will have nothing to do with tracks.

What are some good suggestions for information that should be included in the Tenerife page? I know we should definitely include a list of tracks based on that location, and perhaps some real life information on it as well. There isn't much to put in the page because...it is a map for the 4 tracks, but it is not represented by any of the tracks directly.

Last Thing - Future Template and Ideas/Wiki Revamp
Would you guys like a revamp to the Wiki to make more user-friendly for mobile users? Also, what kind of changes would you like to see in the future for the Wiki? I'm thinking of a lot of templates, but it'll take a long time to add it to every page. As long as you guys are up for the intense labor work, I'm ready to throw some templates soon in June (if I could) and also in July.

First template: Don't judge, this is the first page that comes up in my mind.I will make a template for Asphalt 8 that will be similar to the one in the link (on top of the page). It says Introduction/Gallery/Personality and Relationships/...etc. For Asphalt 8, we will split it into Overview/Stats/Pro Kits/Decals/Color/Gallery/Trivia and so on to separate the information on the page. Why? This is to make it easier for users to go to a specific page and load up the information quickly. For mobile users, you can easily get to where you want without scrolling through tons of text. It also allows for information about the cars in other Asphalt games to be added without completely taking over all the space.

Second Idea: A suggestion I have already made to Simmia, but I would like to see whether you guys would like something like this or not. I'm not entirely sure whether it'll work on mobile, but it'll be fun to use on PC. Take a look at the image in this link and click at the four different planes.It's used to put links on images. I'll see if it can work linking to its own page (the page it is in).

Season 1 image that I made.I can input the coordinates to make each event a link. When you click it on it, it'll just jump to the event on the page. This seems more interactive and easier to use than to look at all the text. The image will be put in the infobox so it won't take up much space. Would you like this to be implemented for the season pages?

Third Template: I will try to make a table for the Season Events. As of right now, it is just a bunch of text and I can see why people might not prefer to look at them as much. If it can made easier to look at it, then perhaps it can serve its purpose in the future. I don't have a concrete idea yet, but you guys can also try to make one or offer some suggestions as well.

Lastly, have fun with Asphalt 8 and best of luck to you in winning the new cars!
