The “Development” part edit

Right so, what i read on goonstations wiki history page is somewhat different to what the TG wiki says. I’m specifically talking about the part when it talks about the leak. Just thought that someone might be able to clear it up for me. NotADev (talk) 05:18, 15 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Untitled edit

This page might need some more work, as currently it is biased to the baystation12 branch of the game (ZAS, for instance, is only used on baystation12-based servers, mostly), while yes, it is one of the primary branches, it should not be representative of SS13.

How about some actual sources. edit

Here are some articles and the like about space station 13 that should probability be integrated into this page by somebody with more time than me before this gets deleted again.

Ref improve edit

All the references are on the site of the game's host, or the site of one of the servers. You need some third-party references or this will likely be deleted for lack of notability again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.150.193.185 (talk) 02:49, 20 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

It seems like by now in 2020, more sources from third-parties have been added over time, although admittedly they are still learning towards game review sites or platforms in general, however I believe that this fulfills the notability standards by now, although it can still be improved on the reliability front by adding more diversity and shying away from sites of the game's servers.

Tau ceti edit

aren't some stations orbiting different stars? or are they all tau ceti?Sebbatt (talk) 11:36, 25 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

If they don't mention it just assume it follows the original canon — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.159.2.241 (talk) 07:45, 16 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Open Source edit

I removed references that implies the game is open source. BYOND is proprietary, and not all forks are open source. For example, the Goonstation fork is licensed under CC-BY-NC-SA which is a proprietary license (due to NC). 2405:9800:B620:5F1F:0:0:0:8FA (talk) 05:40, 10 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

It seems rather extreme to remove all mentions of open source from the page. While I agree that the original description was wrong, it seems much better to just point out the whole situation? Also being on a proprietary engine means it "can't be open source"? There is no open source software for Windows? PJB3005 (talk) 13:47, 1 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Agreeing with pb&j here, Removing all mentions and categories when the main upstream that over 90% of forks share, and /tg/station, is AGPL is kinda silly. One needs only look at the current server listings sorted by players to see that all but the 2 goon server, of the top 10 servers, are a gpl variant. Something doesn't need to be true in 100% of cases to be presented on wikipedia when the word "mostly" exists. I'm gonna go ahead and be bold and revert your edit given the time this talk page has gone without a reply or defence of the removal since PJB3005's comment.
