Oh, thanks.

Umm, goals for the wiki, huh... That's quite a question. I'm not really sure. As an admin i usually just try my best to help guide along the community such that there's progress and things are easy to understand, and do some of the hard legwork of writing info pages and/or coding templates and things like that...

We've considered on multiple occasions (in my chatroom) about if there should be some sort of tooltip to indicate that a certain skill has a certain number of hits but it's a little bit tough how to implement it. For one, how do people want it? Where does the hover go? Should it belong in a different section? Is it trivial? The way we have this wiki is not like the gamerch wiki so it is a little tough. I suggest to make a thread and try to advertise - ask people to respond to it and see how much people care about it.

And if you think that people misunderstand how important it is, it's always good to write a blogpost explaining why having more hits or less hits in a skill may be good, since we allow for that. It's been on my mind for a while but I've been busy with school.

We're always aiming for as much information as we can hopefully seek out, but there are just some things that haven't belonged yet but seem out of scope for most contributors, including myself. Voice clips, for example. They're almost impossible to extract, and the game doesn't allow you to turn off BGM while leaving voices on. One huge, annoying, glaring problem.

That, and if there should be quotes now indicating quotes that some units say when they're leadered at the home screen. Ywain KotR, for example, doesn't say anything when you tap on her, but Hypnos sure does. It's odd, but sometimes I feel I'm not alone when I ask the question that what should actually be there?

Which is why we have the suggestions forum, but no one really quite uses it. I'm planning to include a module on the homepage for it soon though, hopefully to increase visibility.

My personal goals for the wiki is just to see it succeed much like other wikis, I guess. Probably the biggest reason why I'm an admin is for learning experience, though it keeps me busy, and just a slight love for the game despite all its... problems and quirks. However, as busy as I get I may have to drop these duties soon, and pass the torch to someone else that wants to help the wiki and understands all the workings throughly, while being really meticulous on details such as to not let the wiki become messy.

But by then, I'll still try my best to stick around and leave input. I recently heard that Kelerik, for example, is quitting Valkyrie Crusade, though that came from a little birdie who happened to be in my old alliance. Not sure if he's still managing the wiki but it sure looks like he has other things to move onto, much like anyone else.
