Project Eternity Wiki

[Ausir]

I'm in the process of setting up the Official Project Eternity Wiki, which should be officially up in a day or two. Anyone interested in joining in?

Ausir Wikis = Best Wikis

 

What can one help out with?

[Tagaziel]

http://www.falloutwiki.com/Fallout_Wiki

 

Help out here, for a start

[Ausir]

And http://wasteland.falloutwiki.com too

I won't have time to do wiki work, but: Man, the comment function in the Curse wiki news bits is really annoying to use. As big as a shait Wikia has become, at least the comments were working good.

 

Feels to me like Falloutwiki isn't really growing, due do the fact that people don't talk in the comments section anymore.

To be serious though, there is some stuff I would like to update on the Wasteland wiki for a while (Mainly the developer pages). I actually have time next week/this weekend for it.

[Ausir]

Well, the news and comments is really just a secondary feature of wikis. The content is what matters. Of course, The Vault at its new home is not going to win with Nukapedia that easily in terms of page views due to the fact that the Wikia pages are much more googlable, but just look at our and Wikia's wikis for Wasteland 2 - ours is definitely more alive. And the Wikia Wasteland wiki is quite ugly too.

Yeah, but I always thought that was a neat additional feature.

[Tigranes]

This should receive more attention.

 

Ausir, let me know when you get it up and I'll link it on the sticky, or give it a separate sticky.

[Ausir]

Yeah, I'll let you know when the wiki is up. We're in the process of setting up some new back-end stuff for our wikis, so it might take a day or two.

An actual, official Wiki? I detest the way people tend to throw "Official" around, so I'd appreciate something pointing at it being official.

Find me a Wikia wiki that isn't ugly and I'll dance the mambo for you.

Officially recognized and supported by Obsidian, yes. Trust me, I've already talked to them about it. I wouldn't have used the word otherwise.

I wasn't really worried, since it's you, but I had to ask anyway. People like to throw "Official" around as a buzz-word. Makes me happy to hear. :D

[Lexx]

So will it have real domain and stuff? What if the name changes (because I don't think "Project Eternity" will be the final name)? Are you going to change it then or add another one (because of all links that might have been posted by then)?

I would assume that the best way to solve it would be to set up a domain relating to Project Eternity, and then when the real name is revealed, simply set up a new domain and a redirect from the former.

[Ausir]

That's the plan. For now, we've bought eternitywiki.com.

What sort of help do you need?

[Ausir]

Help with gathering and documenting all the available info on the game we can find from various updates, interviews, dev comments etc.

[Sammael]

I'm leaving for a vacation soon, but when I get back (early October), you can count me in.

[Labadal]

I'd like to help, but what would one need to know? Any programs and fancy stuff like that?

[Lexx]

You need to know the game and the english language. :>

[Ausir]

Or some other language, we'll gladly set up other language versions as well!

[Labadal]

In that case, I'd be willing to help. I've already pledged my money, why not pledge some of my time?

[Ausir]

The wiki is already set up (although still empty), but it's waiting for the DNS to propagate.
