ShepardHS 33 Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Hello! I want to introduce you a project that may be of interest to you — APB Wikipedia. APB Wiki is the classic APB Reloaded Wikipedia. I created it together with Draggi and with the help of the Russian community. A few words about me My name is Shepard. I'm the administrator of the largest APB Reloaded fan site in Russia. The site has been running since All Points Bulletin closed beta. I also support the most active of VK's group (Russian equivalent of Facebook), where I translate and publish news about the game and communicate with the Russian-speaking community. I try to do something useful for the game for a long time. Periodically I write guides, articles about game designers or create concepts. Last summer, I took up a major project — Wikipedia. We have been working on Wikipedia in secret all summer. The public release took place on September 1, 2018. Wiki Features MediaWiki Engine The principal decision was to create Wiki on the engine on which the original Wikipedia works. Clean, comfortable and familiar. No ads Wikipedia has no ads. I personally pay for hosting with the help of the Russian-speaking community. Mobile version We have a mobile version. It's not perfect, but very helpful. We are struggling with the problems of insufficient information about new events and awards. But with Wiki we can solve these problems. For example, the page of Slay Bells role was updated in real time with the support of players. On the wiki, you can see a screenshot of each symbol, primitive or item of clothing from this role. It's not just a database. I want players be able to see tips from community: which mod is better to use in certain weapons, how to use the Tagger correctly during missions, and so on. Check Wiki for yourself Especially for you, I translated several pages into English: Shift (contact), Patriot Vegas (car), STAR (weapon), Slay Bells (role), Weapon Skins. If you want to see more, you can use Google Translate. Why did I create this topic? I believe that Wikipedia will be useful to all APB Reloaded players. Our editors constantly add and supplement pages in Russian. However, the MediaWiki allows you to create pages in different languages. I'm ready to give editorial rights to all players who want to complete a wiki in English (or any other language). Also, I would love to hear your opinion on this project. Maybe something is missing on Wikipedia? Maybe you think this is a meaningless idea? I will read all comments. And of course I will be glad if @MattScott pays attention to this.

APB Wiki is not a competitor to APB Vault. These are two different approaches. At APB Vault you can only find statistics. Let's compare the Nut Crackers page on two sites. This is a reward for the role of Slay Bells. On the APB Vault website there is only a name and faction. On the Wiki, in addition to these data, there is information on how to get this item. And most importantly, there is a screenshot of a symbol! Given that there is no symbol preview in the game in the selector of awards (and you need to choose one of several), Wiki can help you make the right choice. Also, on APB Vault you will never find such information as system requirements, guides or video presentation of emotions. Because this data is not in the game. But it is in Wikipedia. Thanks to the players. Edited January 12, 2019 by ShepardHS 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks to the players. Love it already. I've been trying my hardest to cover events and show all the rewards (shameless plug) here's my 2 previous steam guides Christmas 2018 Halloween 2018 I've also done a jokerstore guide and a guide on "those rare silencer less nano's" again showing all the rewards. If I can help in anyway hit me up. I also remaster icon's if you want those. Wiki's Mine and a dark one incase you wanted the original brightness icon.
