Well, I was wondering if it would be a good idea making a "rumors/info" page for the wiki, with all the sketchy info about the game and future updates which we have gotten from talking with devs or similar. Other miscellaneous info which can't be found easily is also welcome.
Dunno if it's really wiki material. I don't have much, but it's probably because I keep forgetting:

Rumors:

Vogs will eventually come back, probably in boss form.
Source: I asked Boswick why fire alpha wolvers weren't using the Vog texture, and he said they are saving it for something else. Also the fact that there are "Vog" items in the game, so they have to come back eventually.

Confirmed/quotes:

Vanaduke quest thing or similar:
Nick: "You mean like the sprites you'll have to rescue from Vanaduke's fiery prison? Oh my!"

In Puzzle Pirates, we did

In Puzzle Pirates, we did have an article called "The List" (http://yppedia.puzzlepirates.com/The_List), but even those confirmations were not always right because of shifting priorities and whatnot. It was also rather a bear to organize/keep updated.

Already in the rumor you're mentioning, I see that you've embellished by adding "probably in boss form" without mention of Boswick saying it would be a boss. I don't even know that I would consider Nick's comment about sprites that you mentioned to be official confirmation of anything. It looks like it's possible that he was joking.

So while you could create a page if you had links to the specific posts, I honestly don't know how useful it would be. Really highlighting things like that could possibly make devs more shy to mention things if players get all riled up when things don't happen when they think it should/would because of having such a list.

Those are just my thoughts though, I won't delete it if you would still like to create it and keep it updated. I'd definitely slap a big warning on the page about how none of it may be true though.

Omg

I would love to have that I remember when I use to play Runescape they gave us hints by the game banners they used sometimes you would see pictures of swords, monsters, shields etc. on different players in the banner and you would go CRAZY OMG DRAGON SHIELD is coming out Wooot.

But back on topic Tantarian if you do a page of this I will help you out if you need it I will harass all the dev's for rumors and make some up for fun like.....Did you know Equinox is secretly the Ceo of Three Rings, but uses a GM account to keep an eye on other Gm's and so he can talk to the players of the game without everyone going crazy.

Well

Maybe we should ask if the devs are okay with it and how it will affect them, they read the forums so I guess they'll say something if this would annoy them. They tend to not say much about anything anyways.
They are called rumors for a reason, believe at your own risk, etc. It's normal ideas get delayed/scrapped while making a game, dunno who would get mad about that.

It's not really about getting accurate information, but I think it would be fun. We could also list whatever trash we find in the game files that hasn't been announced. And interesting answers to questions or similar stuff.

As for the boss bit, maybe not a boss, but certainly not a common enemy. Now that I remember he said something about how they are called Vog Cubs, and not just Vog, which might mean there will be a boss Vog and cub minions or something.

The main issue might be how "wiki worthy" are the rumors, and how seriously people take them. Most users will have no idea the page exists probably.

What *would* be nice, I

What *would* be nice, I think, is a list of references at the bottom of pages like Damage. if a dev explains the workings of something in a forum post, it makes sense to link back to the source material.
