GTA Wiki errors (GTA 2 Edition)

[Cerium]

I've seen some errors in the wiki page of GTA 2. For instance:

 

In the page about Miara, the following is stated:

It shares the same engine sound as the Z-Type, Furore GT, Meteor etc.

 

About G4 Bank Van:

...is even known to survive two direct Rocket Launcher hits if still in perfect condition.

https://gta.fandom.com/wiki/Miara

 

Anyone who has played GTA 2 more than a couple of hours, knows these statements are false.

 

I thought we could use this thread to detect errors in the wiki page to make it more accurate than it currently is. I'm sure it won't be a big thread but there are some minor mistakes here and there. Can someone with an account edit these errors?

Sounds like a good idea.

 

 

By the way, there are at least three wikis for the GTA series. Does anyone know the history of these, or the reason why competing wikis were founded?

About the Miara, the Furore does not match the rest of the cars. It has to be removed. The Rocket Launcher thing will also get fixed

Also the both the GT-A1 page and the Miara page claim the same old Ray Larabie sprite. Can't belong to both cars, my money is on that sprite being the old GT-A1 sprite because of its angular and futuristic look compared to the other cars, but who knows.

 

Edit : I have asked Ray Larabie on twitter to clear up which car the sprite belongs to, lets see if we can clear this up.

I'm 99.5% sure that it's GT-A1's sprite.

Interesting reply from Ray, not sure what to make of it but there you go

Those wikis have all sorts of false information because no one bothers to check their stuff before posting it. Some years ago I tested the conditions to get bonuses and car crusher rewards because the info provided on those wikis was to an extent complete bs. In case someone is interested in the correct info about those I mentioned, they are here (unfortunately formatting got screwed on the car crusher rewards page after the layout changes):

• Bonuses 
• Car Crusher Rewards
