Title: Multitool Encyclopedia Suggested Edits
Post by: sLaughterMed on April 13, 2016, 06:10:57 PM
As I'm sure many of you have noticed, the Multitool Encyclopedia is in rough shape. In an effort to bring it up to date, I have been combing through various pages, trying to work out a good general format for each of the pages. While the bulk of working out the formatting is complete, implementing that formatting is going to take a massive effort, which I simply cannot do alone. So, I am reaching out to the community to help bring the Multitool Encyclopedia up to the same level as the SAKWiki. If you are interested in becoming an editor, please let me know in this thread. I will be, creating a separate thread in a couple days detailing how you can help with the current pages.

In the meantime, I would love it if you posted any suggested edits here. That means anyone not just editors. Are you, a semi-sane Multitool.Org member, browsing the Encyclopedia, and notice a stray punctuation mark? Is something incorrect? Do you have a suggestion for pages to add? (Because I am painfully aware of how many missing pages there are). Make a quick post here, with a short description of the problem, and a link to the page (if applicable). It will make our jobs as editors much easier, and you get the opportunity to contribute something lasting to our little family here at MT.O.

Thank you in advance for all your help and support.

It's not so bad, especially the content adding part. Most of the coding work you will be doing is copying and pasting, and following directions  :tu:  Its not hard, I promise.

Have the LM one piece tools been added anywhere beside the timeline?

Hi there guys. I just wanted to contribute because I like things to pack as much info as possible. I don't want to be an editor, though, but I just noticed on the weight chart that two tools I have are missing:

SOG PowerPlier: 8.46 oz. or 240 g

(http://i1314.photobucket.com/albums/t562/ThePeacent/IMG_20160501_195106_488_zpsreia1oss.jpg)
(http://i1314.photobucket.com/albums/t562/ThePeacent/IMG_20160501_195114_247_zpstljndaal.jpg)

SOG BlackTip: 9.70 oz. or 275 g

(http://i1314.photobucket.com/albums/t562/ThePeacent/IMG_20160501_195040_958_zpsyv2mrk1l.jpg)
(http://i1314.photobucket.com/albums/t562/ThePeacent/IMG_20160501_195053_344_zpsc69simdg.jpg)

Measured on a precision scale. If anyone would add the data I'd be grateful.
Thanks.

Great thread, BTW. Love updated wikis!

I just love that the Encyklopedia going to have a makeover. I like that place and it have helped me a lot in the past finding information. But it have been incomplete. The information is here just scattered in different places.

Thanks ThePeacent :cheers: even stuff like that is a big help cause the few editors we have don't have some or a lot of the tools that many of our members here have :cheers: any kind of info you have like measuring the tools open, closed, thickness, width closed and weight on any tools you have that you don't see on the wiki will definitely be a big help :cheers:

I started with the Leatherman section cause that is where the bulk of my collection is and have had most of the tools with me an been measuring them or going here and LM website for weights or the weight chart of the wiki :tu: So any an all info like that is a help :cheers:

My suggestion would be to have some way for people to search all the multitools using a bunch of criteria.  A good example of this is gsmarena's phone finder: LINK REMOVED?

Maybe there is already something out there that does this; and I'd appreciate someone pointing me in that direction if there is.

We don't have a search feature with MTs as of now but we do have a SAK selector over in the Swiss Army Knights forum :tu:
