Wiki - Interest Thread

[DatOneGuy]

mediawiki is pretty easy to get set up, might not be all fancy looking for a while but at least it won't look retarded (those stupid quote blocks that are basically a fragment of a sentence, UGH) and have a bunch of shitty ads...

Well if you don't mind doing it either way, I don't mind hooking it up either way
Most of the stuff is setup to just move over, I think as admin I should have some ability to backup some of it to unpack elsewhere but wikia does things all wonky-like (and to be honest starting from scratch might be best).

what shall we name the domain?

[Shask]

I pretty much live by the wiki. I'm just really glad somebody fixed the "Required by.." template thing, now I can see what to do with objects.

Whilst I agree that the general layout and aesthetics are poor, the current wiki is still excellent.

So it fixed itself? I fucked with a while, but it didn't do anything, at all. Despite me fixing it to the way it was before perfectly...

Hm, well it seems so yeah.

I'm no coder or anything but if you need some "grunt work" i.e. copying over of data then I'll help.

My fiance has hosting with her webcomic site, but she's sensitive when I volunteer her stuff. XD

Is there any chance/ability to get like wiki.havenandhearth.com with J&L's cooperation?

I'm a coder but I want to avoid more time sucking projects if I can. =) So no promises, but I have a definite interest in having a nice wiki out there. Particularly if we can provide multi-language support... that would be rockin.

Anything's cool with me for the name really.

i'd certainly prefer it, and i'll ask them.

I was always hoping for something like that but I'm sure how all the NAMESERVER shit works with subdomains and if it's possible to have that subdomain only redirect to another host. :v

And IIRC they aren't too fond of the wiki, which makes sense, as a 'learning' tool it takes fun out of the game, but imo it still has very good use as a handbook to remember things.

Cavebulb/per wiki page contribution for user base enthusiasm.

That, or mega tax on wiki usage.

Just sayin'.

Might not be as "fun" as repeatedly screwing up, but I'm sure they have to admit it's pretty damn helpful for alpha testing.
