Thanks for taking the initiative, will make some contributions when I have time.
Out of curiosity, does fandom wiki support multiple languages that can be switched by the viewer at will like Wikipedia? I am thinking translating some of the pages into Chinese if at all possible.
Edit: In anycase, wrote up a chunk about battle generation, I might have gotten some battle length wrong so feel free to correct me. Not really the most core mechanic but was easier for me to right without referring to game/manual.

No idea. Feel free to poke around. But the articles would need to be re-written in each language, so by the time you did that, it might be easier to just create RTW2-Chinese as a separate wiki.
Is the game even available in other languages?

Is the game even available in other languages? Nope, there is no other localization for RTW and while the team have expressed interest in the idea I think its sitting on the backburner due to the amount of fix/content that needs to be done for RTW2 right now(which is totally fair). But given the high amount of interest I've seen from tling my own AAR to a Chinese forum on naval warfare I think having a wiki will help people get a grasp of the game in absence of localization. (There is already an Japanese wiki up there too, but its also pretty limited at the moment) Its always possible to make a separate wiki but I think its just easier if its doable within existing framework of an existing wiki.

Created a big old technology page tonight(https://rtw2.fandom.com/wiki/Technology), instead of actually playing. I'm silly. But the wiki is starting to suck slightly less. (Thanks for your help, mycophobia ! )

In the the battle generation page it says you can only have one battle per turn but I’m pretty sure I have had multiple battles on a turn.

A couple edits I'd suggest to the "Ship Classes" page:
For some reason this forum does not like me quoting your Dreadnought section, so I'll just say that "Dreadnoughts have at least three centreline turrets" fails to encompass designs such as Richelieu and Espana and that saying Dreadnought was built in 1906 is a bit off, since it was initially laid down in 1905.
"except with more speed and less armour" Not necessarily, you can have BCs that simply have weaker armaments or that compromise neither at the cost of a larger displacement.
These sections go into alot more detail than the others as far as the exact limitations of the class, which seems at odds with the others. I'd say either reduce it to a more general description or expand the others to match them up.
Minelaying?

May be just overview on overall page and make subpages where will be definition of class etc.

Thanks to everyone for contributing. We have a few actually-pretty-good articles together now.

So I have an idea: given that what a game classifies a ship as has many nuances, some of which change over time, should each ship class (B, BB, BC, CA, etc) get it's own page with a more in depth look at the various nuances with the "ship class" page having a more general overview of each class or not?
I kind of made the definition for protected cruiser more exact (in game terms) on it's page, but I'm wondering if it's too much info for that page. And the same stuff would need to be done for the CA, B, BB, and BC as well, at the very least. Some photos could also be provided on dedicated ship class pages, of normal ingame designs and maybe a few of real life examples too.

This is pretty awesome, especially the tech page. Maybe it should be stickied?

On the technology page, I've added a description for what each of the columns (e.g. 1900, Y, 100, 4) in the research areas file signifies.
