CI Wiki, Y/N?

[Jo KIM]

This has come up before, and NQS had her reasons for vetoing it. However, the reasons she previously stated don't apply anymore, and NQS hasn't been here in quite a while anyway, so I'm bringing the subject back up to a vote.

If there is a CI wiki, it will contain articles for various characters, locations, plot points, threads, and other information on the CI world. Currently classified information, such as Divya information that has not been revealed on public boards, secret identities, etc. will not be written about unless/until it is revealed in public areas.

Of course the matter of who has access to edit the wiki, if one is created, will be strictly controlled so strangers and/or prior members with grudges won't be able to access and edit anything.

Feel free to discuss the topic in this thread if you have other points to bring up concerning this issue.

I made a wiki at courtintrigue.wikidot.com but there's nothing there yet at the time of this writing. I tried to set up some categories up top and threw up the standard advert on the "About Us" page. Probably we can lazily C&P plot info right from here, too. I'll have to see about making templates for chara and thread pages so we can start working on those, and we'll need a front page that's not a "Welcome to your new Wikidot site", LOL. Oh, and the categories on the left are editable, too, so those will change to be site-relevant as well.

It says the people who can join the page as members are limited to 5 unless I pay to upgrade the site, which I'm not gonna do. So I'm debating whether to make an account that can edit stuff and PM the login info to people who want to help? *ponders* I know we don't have a lot of people who wanna help right now, but I was thinking we might have more later and with so few spots. . . No, wait, playing with permissions and I think I can make it where anyone can be a members of the site, but only people with mod permissions can edit. So I'll try that and if that isn't right I can set it back to a closed group.

Also, if anyone knows CSS, could you do the theme for the wiki? I have no idea how to work that stuff, sorry.

Whichever people were planning to help with the wiki, make sure you go over there and join it. AFAIK you just push the thing that says "How to join this site?" and there will be a "Join" button. It'll prompt you to register a Wikidot account, but once you do you should be a member, and once you're a member you won't see the "Join" button anymore. I'll have to go in and mod members I want to be able to edit stuff.

A couple of notes for working on the Wiki: if you C&P anything from the site, be sure to credit the original author at the bottom (I've been doing it with the subscript on to make it little). And please remember to use spell check and proofread anything you write yourself before posting to make sure it's understandable. Thanks in advance to anyone who agrees to help-- I can't do this big a project on my own.

-_- Okay, sorry for just assuming I knew how it worked without testing to be sure. But I made a test account in my dear Regno's name to check it out and apparently after you make the account you have to click the "join" button a second time and send the application that pops up. You don't have to write anything in the box unless you're using some weird name I wouldn't know and have to tell me who you are, LOL. The application will have to be approved, and I'll have to set you as a mod before you can work on stuff for the Wiki (I tried and it wouldn't let my test account create or edit pages unless made a mod.). So at least now I know how one thing about the wiki works, LOL. Only about a thousand other things to go.
