Hi, me again! :cheer:

One thing I've noticed is that a lot of people have no idea that the wiki exists. I'm wondering if part of that is the slightly ambiguous name of the menu entry which it sits under (Jimny Information).

It might be better to have 'Jimny Wiki' as a standalone, top-level menu item (alongside 'Home', 'Forum' etc) rather than as a sub-item of Jimny Information.

Just an idea :)

Happy to try anything.

My own feeling is that people do not actually know what a Wiki is, so do not even look.

This does seem to be an issue across the site, another example being the shop with people not seeming to see that it is even there.

All ideas are welcome.

I'd place the shop banner top right of every screen, next to the jimny.com placement.

But thats jus me.

I have also arrived at the same conclusion that the existence of the BigJimny Wiki is hardly noticeable and poorly advertised among the general public.

I concluded that based on the regular occurrence of various people asking questions (for which the Wiki has exact matching articles) on various Facebook groups.
Neither the authors of the questions nor the vast majority of the commentators on their questions ever mention the BigJimny Wiki. I appear to be the almost only one who ever does link to the wiki in comments in various Facebook groups.

Therefore, I suggest that a medium-sized banner, advertising the wiki, be placed everywhere on this web site where the BigJimny Shop banner is also placed (except inside the Wiki itself).

I also agree with Martin that most people do not understand what the obscure word "wiki" actually means. Therefore, perhaps a better word to use in the banner would be "BigJimny all-around community how-to and literature knowledge base" or something like that.

I do try to promote the wiki section and I and I think everyone else do appreciate your efforts in making the wiki such a useful resource.
