WE HAVE A WIKI! YAY

Extremely new to the forum, literally just joined right now. Looking over the forum’s past, I can say: a wiki page would be an excellent idea. 

It could piggyback off of Coppermind, or use a free software like the Fandom site. I’m not an expert here, so take all advice with a grain of minuscule salt, but I would be willing to help out or facilitate it and it would bring a lot of value in my opinion.

Anyways, I’ll be working on my character for the next few days, so you’ll see me around eventually.

I've done a wiki for the Reckoners rp but it died off a bit due to lack of love. I'll see about starting one here too.

I like this idea.

Also, welcome, @MetaTerminal! Good to have you here!

It’s an honour to be here.

From what I’ve seen of online communities (I’ve been in a few that have died off in my time), something like a wiki is proportional to the amount of activity found in that fandom. Given the aforementioned influx of people, setting up a wiki (and making it easier for newbies like myself to catch up on the long and complicated history of the Alleyverse) might increase the amount of activity. Feedback loops ensure.

Or it’s a terrible idea, and no one will curate it. But you seem like a pretty decent group. (Can’t say anything about the baking yet.)

Definitely putting it on my todo list, if anyone else is going to take the initiative and try to do something like this, please try to talk to one of the subforum mods so one of us can be across it at least and we don't end up duplicating a heap of effort.

I have free time and a willingness to reread hundreds of hours of forum posts, so sign me up!

In fact, I can get a basic outline done by tomorrow, if we’re going to use a separate site from the Coppermind. Obviously, I’m the least experienced person in the room when it comes to Alleyverse lore, but I can get a how-to Page, a list of characters and guilds, stuff like that up in a day or less.

From my research the easiest to use is the Wikia system, although they’ve got a bad rep from ads and the like. MediaWiki is what Wikipedia uses, although that’s more complex and geared towards higher-traffic sites.

cracks knuckles Time to dive down the rabbit hole.

Username is MetaTerminal, same as here. I’ll start with some basic instruction pages.

I’m not even gonna attempt to describe any chronology yet. That’ll take a fully funded research team with radar, microscopes, and at least one fine-toothed comb.

I made a wiki account. You will never guess the name.

I like the idea for a wiki pm. We don't need Voidus's permission. It's a public wiki, and we can just make the PM.

A PM would be an excellent idea.

Now that we’ve got an outline of everything, starting tomorrow I’ll go chronologically and add pages for all the major events, occurrences, and activities. Things like assassinations will be difficult to cover since they’re conducted privately, and keeping track of each character’s involvement with every single event...ugh.

Once this thing is up and running we’ll need people to start filling in their own character pages and synopses. Stuff they know about important events will be helpful too, if they can cite their sources.

Thanks! History class is finally paying off!

I’m working in chronological order, starting with the oldest posts, to make sure I don’t miss too many things. Some of this stuff is super obscure, though, so I’ll need people who were actually there to describe some stuff. For example: why did the Duel of Ages occur? What was the primary motivation for that? If anyone actually knows, if they fill that out, that would be excellent.

I’m working on the Arena of Valor Page right now, which puts me near the bottom of page 3 of the forum. Only 70 more threads to go!

Thanks to all who have contributed so far, just checked and there is an insane amount of content already up. :D
Special thanks to MetaTerminal who I'm pretty sure is secretly some kind of evil wizard given how much they've gotten through, especially since they only just joined the Alleyverse.

ALL OF THE UPVOTES!!!!
