Also, I'm resuming work on the Game Attributes page. It's funny that when I started this I thought they did one thing, and now as I'm going back and looking at them again I see that they do something completely different. Go me.
After rigorous testing, I was actually sort of right the first time. Let me know if the article is too confusing, but basically "Game Attributes" are not that complicated at all. They are just custom map "Settings" that you can change in the map lobby.
EDIT:
Finally done with Game Attributes and I completely redid
http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/Game_Variants (though I still don't know that the "Premade Game" option is, if someone else might know).
EDIT2:
And for those curious why I created a page for a
Marine, I'm in the midst of making a
UnitInfo Template for any unit pages we may want to add in the future.

This doesn't satisfy you?
http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/Melee_unit_list
None.
Nope, not at all. This came about because I saw that shmeeps tried to add a handful of templates, and none of them worked so he tried to delete them. Instead, I'm just going to try to re-add them. And every wiki has an "InfoBox" template, so I figured I'd make one for units. This will come in handy if I do ever make a page for each unit simply for attachment point purpose (as this template could list the attachment points along with an image of where they are). I just feel like we need to make this wiki as self-sufficient as possible.
This may be odd, but I was also thinking about how individual unit pages could be useful for units that have abilities. We could have a section of each unit's article that explains how those abilities were made since everyone who wants to learn the Data Editor for the first time looks at the existing abilities to modify them, and sometimes it isn't that easy to figure out.
I think I'm also just trying to look at the big picture with this Wiki. If we succeed in what we're trying to accomplish once it becomes GalaxyWiki.net, it could be an incredibly huge resource with hundreds and hundreds of articles.

I've used Shmeeps' description of each camera properties to create the Cameras wiki:
http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/CamerasI won't take credits for it. XD
None.
I moved the "Melee unit list" to
http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/List_of_Units as a reference for now (and I added most of, if not all, the campaign units). All the units are links to individual articles to go with the idea I had in my last post. When the UnitInfo box template is done, each of those unit pages will be a lot easier to make.

I for sure know it's missing the Murlock Marine or something like that.
None.
The beauty of a wiki is that if something is missing, anyone can edit it to add the missing thing.
Unless someone else does it, I'll add it later. I'm also missing things like the Flatbed Truck and stuff.

http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/Making_Melee_Maps done, might need a few grammar fixes. Got it from IronMan at bnet forums, with permission.
Red classic.
"In short, their absurdities are so extreme that it is painful even to quote them."
I'm starting to make my own movers for my map, so I figured I'd start a
wiki page for it finally. I'm trying not to look at or copy ProzaicMuze's tutorial, but I did include a link in the "See Also" section. I haven't messed with the Motion Phases yet, so I can write that section up once I mess around with them and learn more about them.

http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/How_to_balance_your_mapThanks to Rodrigo for letting us transpose it.
I haven't had much time to make it fit perfectly the wiki conventions, so if you guys want to remove the 'I's and such, go for it!
I'll be free to do it tomorrow night if no one has done it yet.
None.
http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/Text_MessageDun dun dun.
Setting the images in a table or something would make it much clearer and appealing.
None.
http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/CamerasI've finished the wiki itself. All it's missing now is the description of the three unknown fields listed with red '??'.
I might redo the "Publish" wiki tonight since I find it currently very unappealing and irrelevant. Enough, at least, for me to refuse to link to it in the B.net forums.
None.
Yeah, I was gonna suggest that as well. I was looking at it when doing the Game Variants wiki and it definitely needs some updating.

I've updated it before leaving for work. Is it better now? I guess not since you've written that post just above 44 minutes ago.
None.
Awesome, I made a post and got an error and have to type it again.
I think that it has a lot that still needs to be fixed. I'd change the screenshot so that the author and map name are generic. I'd change the step-by-step to actually explain the process in a step-by-step fashion rather than listing shortcuts. The list just seems confusing. And I'd explain how Variants play a role in a map's creation.

http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/Custom_UIGreatly improved it. I've created an important discussion in it too: should it be transposed into "Dialogs" wiki?
http://www.staredit.net/starcraft2/General_Mapping_TipsAn improved and much more complete version of the "General Tips" wiki.
None.
@Devlin: Should the OP still be updated?
None.
Good news fuckers!
I managed to get CamStudio to work. I was messing around with 3D Studio max, hit a problem had to record it to describe it and voila...
What this means... I'll be doing some video-tutorials for the Wiki in the near future...
Basic stuff <5 minutes. Most definitely not like OneTwo's youtube videos (which I hate...), but like 'this is how to pimp your your galaxy editor so you can work 10x faster', or 'this is how you use the data editor, properly'.
None.
Yeah, the OP should be updated with
original articles written by members. I'll still give out minerals to SEN members who contribute, as long as they aren't just porting a tutorial or guide over from another site.

Then let me point out that I will not be able to track self-written articles as easily as I used to, so by all means please report your original articles in this thread so I can update the OP.
None.
