The piececlopedia page[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

I think users should freely be allowed to add piece concepts to this page.

Rather than having adding to the heap of variants as the only outlet, why not allow
users to extract the component parts and simply write on them, exposing
more information that other designers can build off in the process?

I myself have concepts for hundreds of pieces (mostly Ultima like), but no
real interest in posting the endless variants that permute from them.

I would however submit entries on the piece concepts.

The piececlopedia page seemed to have been arbitrarily frozen at a certain
point, as if its list is somehow exhaustive, and should no longer be
tampered with.

This goes against the spirit of this website.

There is a Piece article type.  You can submit your own article, then an
editor can change the article type to Piece.

The Piececlopedia is for pieces with some kind of established history.  Not
every Piece article should be put into the Piececlopedia.  It is perhaps
unusual that a new piece becomes popular enough to be put into the
Piececlopedia, which might explain the fairly static nature of this list. 
(The rules for the Piececlopedia have also sometimes not been applied
consistently, so it could probably use some cleaning out as well.)

Well the concept I've been mainly interested in contributing is "Infima"
which is an extension of Ultima concepts.

I would like to just submit piece articles with board descriptions of
behaviour and case examples.

I can program a little, but struggle with more involved things on this
website.

Any advice on how best I can do this?
