We really need to take out the trash

    What I mean is this wiki page:
    https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki.html?id=requested_elements
    I don't mean all of them, but I do mean the stupid ones and ones that were added recently. For example,

    Wiki page:

    manure

    Element Name: manr - manure
    Your Username: xymone123
    Features: it is like poo
    Appearance: brown and mushy
    Reaction with Existing Elements: when put on plant, you water it and it will grow quickly and diassapear
    Creator Comments: you can make plants grow faster

    Is a real one on there. =_=

    Wiki Page:

    Gravity Applicator

    * Element Name: (GVAP) Gravity Applicator

    * Your Username: ecppowder

    * Features: only need one pixel of GVAP to put on a solid and the solid would fall with gravity. Example: If I want a piece of WOOD to fall onto the ground, I would just put on at least one pixel of GVAP and the WOOD would fall to the ground with the same properties as a powder.

    * Appearance: Black as WARP, maybe invisible

    * Reaction with Existing Elements: (See Features: for description)

    * Creator Comments: Helps with the moving solids problem.

    How on Earth does making it more complex solve the problem? T_T

    But not just that, the page is cluttered with elements and features we already have, but have never been removed:

    Wiki Page:

    Triangle

    Element Name: Triangle
    Your Username: Default_User
    Features: Triangle acts like the rectangle shape, use alt + drag or some other combo but alt seems to be open … will result in filled triangle.
    Appearance: N/A
    Reaction with Existing Elements: N/A
    Creator Comments: This would make making triangles easier for pyramids or glass prisms to bend light(photons) and so on.


    Wiki Page:

    Breakable Power Clone

    Element Name: Breakable power clone
    Your Username: Pyromaniac555
    Features: Breakable power clone clones any particle it touches when activated and can be broken. Menu name: BPCLNE
    Appearance: Looks like power clone but with a small change in color
    Reaction with Existing Elements: Is destroyed by pressure like goo.
    Creator Comments: This could be used in many applications that need power clone like my antimatter bomb. BPCLNE would make it more realistic.


    My overall point is that the wiki page is a bit too full, and needs to be trimmed, like you would a tree. I would do it (As I seem to be one of the three people editing the wiki at all. <_>) but I'm afraid that the mods will whack me for it.

    Edit: Whether or not this belongs in Feedback doesn't really matter, it's in general so it doesn't really hurt anything.

    Wow, I just took a look at the wiki page, and it's pretty sad. I saw a suggestion for a terrorist, and in the description they said, "wears a turban"
    Personally, I believe that's almost racist. You don't need to be Muslim to be a terrorist.

    I said something like that a while ago...
    Just talk to one of the mods and ask them before "trimming" the wiki page.

    Maybe we could have wiki page "moderators", a few designated people thats sole job is to clean the wiki page.
