I'm already in a AS map. Don't have the full 120 planets needed to seed all the nebula so I might miss some...
There are 9 nebula scenarios, and you get all of them in an 80 planet map. I'm pretty sure you get all of them with 60 planets, too. There are 5 different foldouts, one for each friendly minor faction. Later scenarios provide multiple foldouts.

I'm looking at my galaxy map and I'm counting 12 nebulae. Do some scenarios repeat?

If more nebula are seeded than are needed the extra will either be empty (as determined at the time they are entered) or they will repeat if you have a certain setting set.

In the case of the former, the first X nebula you enter will all have the next mission, allowing you to pick and choose which you go to, letting you ignore the rest. In the case of the latter, you will get even more cool toys.

I'm actually looking to update the wiki with more reliable information on ship stats, but I'd also like to discuss with someone a cleaner organization of the information overall. Is there anyone I should coordinate with for a major overhaul like that? I don't want to just make numerous changes without some kind of oversight >.>

Dominus Arbitrationis is the resident Lord of Wiki and holder of the keys of structure, and Pumpkin's on a personal crusade to update as much content as possible, so they're two you'll want to talk to.  I'm sure there are others but they come to mind first at the moment.

Couple of current threads you may want to look at:

Stated this way it's like I'm the right hand of Dominus (which is entirely untrue!) I'm a lone crusader, hunting Daemons of Disorder in the Darkness of Confusion and Outdatedness (I'm working on a proposal for a new front page and I update general topics like economy and alike). Anyway, Watashiwa is also a very active member on the wiki nowadays; he might be the droid you are looking for.

For ship stats, if all you wanna do is updating numbers, just do it. If you are looking for more advanced table/template manipulation, you'll need to wait for someone else, because I never touched them.

Is there a template we can apply to pages for a prominent "This is outdated and wrong" message?  AI War's release philosophy means that year-old info is useless, and four-year-old info is actively harmful.  There's tons of advice scattered around that should be deleted sooner than later, and instead of fixing a lot of the text, it should be scrapped and remade from scratch.  (See references to dark matter astro train attacks, the AI using turrets, the AI rebuilding mines, etc.)  I'd be happy to go around tagging stuff with that.

IIRC (which isn't always the case, see Assault Transport thread ;)) there is a tag for some versions, the latest being 8.something.

*Wiki check*
Oh, I found it! This page would be useful! There is the OutOfDate, the WorkInProgress and the Verify. I blind-used the WIP, I saw the OutOfDate, but I wasn't aware of the Verify. Interesting!
