Hey, guys.
Without EVElopedia, what is the next best thing for players to build and update a wiki community based on EVE?
And hell, what do the devs plan to do about all their in-game links stating "refer to EVElopedia for more information?" Hell, alot of training agents and new career agents had links to EVElopedia to teach new pilots the ins and outs.
And the fake Pax Ammaria book simply states "This book has a bit of a history" linking directly to an EVElopedia article-an article that no longer exists.
I'd say killing EVElopedia was a REALLY bad idea!
Recommendations:
-enable ships wobbling in hangar view (pre-Captains Quarters)
-add more missions (NPC fleet vs. NPC fleets that actually shoot)
-STOP NERFING EVERYTHING!

The most comprehensive Eve wiki that I'm aware of is Eve University's wiki. As for the links in game, feel free to submit a report every time you see something that looks out of place. I'm sure references to the Evelopedia are all over the place and CCP could probably use a hand finding them.

The first week after they killed it I tried accessing it or googling for articles I knew were on it several dozen times. Pretty much says how much use it actually saw. |

Evelopedia was like that creepy uncle who molested you as a kid. But now you're in college and your uncle happens to be an expert in your field. So molestation seems more like a fair trade.
Now you're out of college and your uncle doesn't want anything to do with you anymore because you're too old. So you go talk to your dad, Google, and find out how awesome he is. Plenty of information with no cleveland steamers. |

Even though I agree completely on Google being awesome this is probably one of the weirdest comparisons I have ever seen.

Almost every day I am irritated by the removal of EVElopedia.
Didn't like maintaining it? Fine. Whatever. Don't maintain it. I mean, really, developing a compelling intellectual property that people want to search through is hard work. Yes, I get that. But given that the work had already been, you know - done... why not let it continue to exist? Were the hosting fees for a wiki that burdensome? |

Make it so that whenever someone tries to search the Evelopedia, they got a list of alternative wikis like E-Uni wiki, Goon Wiki, Agony Wiki or etc. That should alleviate the complaining.

Anyway, for info only : EVELOPEDIA via The Wayback Machine

Lacking an official, definitive source for game mechanics explanations is a major gap for something as complex as EVE. Sifting through devblog search results is an abysmally poor substitute. |

As a newer player, every time I google something I get directed to EVElopedia only to have it not available. Seems like it must've had some good information available. Not sure what happened, but if anyone has some other recommendations it would be nice to hear. |

The best place I found so far was the wiki from Eve-uni. But yeah removing the wiki here was not such a good idea, even if it hadn't been updated a while.[: |

CSM10 warned CCP of this negative player reaction to dis-continuing evelopedia in advance. And so... outsourcing. It looks like they are essentially re-creating the "game manual" via Zendesk: witness the number of new articles related to Citadels, linked in the patch notes. |

As mentioned before, just the fact that googling a subject related to Eve would result in a quick find was extremely helpful. I'm sure having Eve related content easily accessible didn't hurt getting Eve's name out there either. |
