Returned after a long inactivity period. Wasn't much to revise when I checked in during the summer - seems a lot has changed since then. I'll get to it. =) Sad to see so many projects fallen. I like the idea of the wiki too - I'll link to that in the first post so that if it gets behind again players can resort to that. In fact, I may just add thread links and sort by status.. removing any other info. Easier for me, and allows the wiki to fill a role providing more details and backstory as map designers desire.
Hi guys, today I tried to improve the layout and added and updated various maps. I hope you like it. Unfortunately, the list of maps is still incomplete and a lot of links to the original forum threads are missing...
Just to update the list. You can remove ns2_Ragna. It was an old project I started more than a year ago. You can replace it with ns2_Okazaki, currently with 6 tech points and 11 res nodes. Basic world geometry is 50% done, should release to test balance next week.
Glad to see the wiki page is being updated, this post may not longer be necessary anymore. If there is a demand and people find it useful as a source directory for existing mapthreads and progress please let me know and I will spend some time and get it up to date; otherwise I'll let the wikilink lead people to fortune.
Edit: I may go through each community map case by case anyway out of personal interest in catching up with the progress over the last six months that I've just let the wiki link handle things.

True that. I took a look at it and wasn't sure how to update it. I think it would be best if the authors of the maps would keep their own creations up to date in the wiki though. That way all the work doesn't fall on one person.
The ns2_orbital_beta map has been updated so the draw calls are now very low all over the map now. And some subscribers would like to play this map. If any server owners could put this map in rotation on there server that would be great to get some long play time feed back. This map also works with the new build. Would be great to see how the NS2 players like it .
I already added Kodiak & Descent on the list, I modified names of the Authors, some of them weren't good. Updated few Tech / Res & created a description for all the official maps. I keep going to make it 100% perfect, but I saw some boring bugs for the pictures & overview, unhappily, I don't think I can change that myself, I let you know for any new informations.
I added pages for Eclipse, Descent, Kodiak & Refinery. I cannot put new images at the moment.

Long work but I did it: http://wiki.unknownworlds.com/ns2/Map_Index#In_testing_.28NSL.2FSCC.2FUWE_PT.29
Separation between Forsaken map & In testing maps. + all custom maps link to the Steam Workshop.
I added a link to the UWE Thread Forums & the Author profile. Status added. + Tech/Res. Description & Overview will come later, when issues will be solved.
A lot of maps added btw: Caged, Fracture, Orbital, Prison, Temple, Relic, Fusion, Mineral, Derelict, Jambi, Uplift, Goliath & Cradle.
Previous "In testing" maps updated, now, they're in a different section called "Forsaken / Inactive Maps".
I added a link to the Steam Workshop on the introduction, + I mentioned SCC Playtest & NSL Maptesting & link to their Threads again on the forums.

Thanks to @AceDude for fixing NS2 Wiki issues, especially the one for overviews. He updated the website with the newest version by the way. All official maps display their current layout, same will be achieved for custom maps, I'm working on it.
So as usual, I mentioned names, added overviews, linked to your UWE profiles & Steam Workshop. I also indicated Tech Points/Res but I was wrong I guess about that, feel free to correct me here please or via Steam (requests sent to all of you). I'd like to add description for your maps as well even if those can change later. Their current status are ALPHA, same here, if I'm wrong, tell me.
I'll try to clean a little bit more the Index later. Don't hesitate to ask me whatever you want to see changed or modified.

Since we are in Wiki updates, I've just updated the Maps Index once again, I haven't done this for a few months so that must be clearer by now. Feel free to correct me if I miss something: http://wiki.unknownworlds.com/ns2/Map_Index
- Removed NSL Maptesting as part of current maptesting groups.
- Added TAW clan maptests and linked to their UWE forum thread.
- Removed any screenshot in official and beta/alpha (forsaken) maps description that caused many issues with the text itself, looks like the website is a bit broken at this side.
- Changed ns2_cradle to ns2_hydra, added link to the Steam Workshop and new UWE forum thread. Added an overview.
- Fixed the ns2_plant's link that led to ns2_kleos Steam Workshop.
- Added ns2_veil_FIVE to the forsaken maps section.
- Added ns2_forge into "in testing" maps.
- Added ns2_nyx into "in testing" maps.
- Moved ns2_relic to inactive maps.
- Moved ns2_temple to inactive maps.
- Moved ns2_frost to inactive maps.
- Moved ns2_fracture to inactive maps.
- Moved ns2_goliath to inactive maps.
These maps have been moved to get a better view/audience for the other maps still active or that have received updates lately. Once one of those maps gets active again, I will replace it into the appropriate section. Notice that only the maps without any update for the last 5 months have been moved accordingly.
