Do you want to work on the Wiki, and how much responsibility are you handle?
MasterAttacktix already has a nice glossary, and character detail. Malform has a fantastic database. Who has time to gather this info and relist it?
If you want to help, let us know and also leave a comment on the Wiki request thread.

I have tons of free time since it's summer and I currently have no school or job. I already spend way too much time on the computer anyways so having something to actually do rather than endlessly link-hop would be nice. I'd happily shoulder a large "burden" for this task.

I am more than happy to edit and proof any documents sent to me (or links) as needed. I've got some experience as I was a technical writer and editor for a F-500 company for a few years.

Dude, that's practically missing the whole point of this wiki. If you want to edit and proof a page, you just go there and do it. If you see bad grammar, you just hop over and clear it up. No fuss, no muss, no private editing needed. However, I'll be sure to send links to any longer writings to you so you can proofread through them and edit out any issues if needed.

I feel ya Grievous, and agree. But I will not be focussing my energy and time going back every 10 minutes to proof what someone has written. Because it's essentially a shared document, someone could easily have changed many things in it while I am proofing it and wasted my time. ;D
So, if one was smart, they would type the page in Word or something, then copy/paste it into the text of the Wikia so that they're not 'live' for long, and the document can be passed around for approval.
Or maybe just have a Thread for New Documents so that everyone can go on and read it, then post comments offline. Maybe I'm all wet on this.

Well, that's the thing. You don't have to unless you want to. If you feel like editing someone's work, then you can. If not, you don't. You'd probably end up doing the same thing if someone sent it to you direct. I know I would ;D.
I do agree with the whole "Type it out earlier" thing, though. Either that or everyone could just use those fun tabs on the right hand side of each category, therefore only editing small chunks of each article instead of bigger ones.

It already looks awfully daft to me. When you click on one of the universes, I think you should see just a little blurb about the contributions that particular universe gave the game, and a list of the series'... Then if you click on a series, you would see a complete figure list, yada yada.... The way it is now, you click on star wars and get a big ol' slap in the face with a seemingly endless column of information.

I disagree, at least partly. Making tons of TixiPedia pages where every little series has its own page seems silly. It should be localized in one area. However, the layout could use some work. Anyone know if Wiki allows for "show/unshow" bits?
Then again, we have all the space we need here on Wikia, so why not? What does everyone else think?
