Car: Dodge Viper (I wish!) Rep Power: 234 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Ice suggested this and you know, I think this may be a good solution. It'd allow anyone to contribute and off-load the work from a couple users. Then again, anyone could contribute, so we'd have to keep an eye on it. Thoughts? EDIT: We wouldn't have to loose the MP3 previews either as we could make them a template.

Car: 1995 Nissan 240SX Rep Power: 40 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Yup, this is a good idea. I think WTS is perfectly suited to belong in the wiki. Although, I think we just shove all of them into there, not just the completed ones. Is there any way you could force a "Not Confirmed" message when "regular" user enters a song name/preview that only an admin can remove? |

Car: Saab 93 2.0t @ stage 3 now Rep Power: 31 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I would like to point out you are going to be changing something that is already working very well. Only big problem with how it's organized now is that it is hard to find. Just look at all the locked threads asking about some specific music used in Top Gear. Maybe a mix of the two, first use the forums to gather everything, and when it's all sorted add it to the wiki. In the meanwhile they could link to each other. |

| Is Über | Until you guys decide. I added a tiny link which links to the corresponding WTS threads to each episode infobox on the wiki.

As it stands now, the WTS forum is working well and does not need to be moved to wiki. There are a lot of errors posted in the WTS forum, and by having it in the forums I am able confirm everything as 100% accurate before adding it to our lists.

| Even though I rarely look at the listings and they are not bothering me in any way now I think the wiki is the right place for them. Forums are for talking, Wiki is for static info.
