Author Topic: █ █ The New Blockland Wiki █ █  (Read 4591 times)

Hope people don't start making articles about themselves this time around.
Those will be deleted immediately if created.

User-oriented articles are allowed, however they must be in the User namespace (e.g. User:Theportalmaster), and they may only be made for users without an account if they are of special significance (e.g. Badspot and kompressor).
Holy cow, we posted one second apart.

And this is yet one of the many reasons making another wikia is a horrible idea

Let's hope this can bring some knowledge to the blockheads. :)
Instead of weird images like last ones.

All Wikis allow different things for user pages, the Team Fortress 2 Wiki, for example, has many customized user pages with different customizations

This pretty much sums it up. Incorrectly namespaced pages will be moved on sight.

Actually this one has been running for a few months (although it's been a bit quiet lately), without any major vandalism (although we've, of course, had our share of spambots (big surprise incoming - MediaWiki sucks pretty bad too)).

This is a (by me) self-hosted Wiki. Wikia is a Wiki farm running on a heavily modified version of MediaWiki (which is the software we use too).

Going into read-only mode for a short while to upgrade some stuff.
EDIT: Done.

I don't mind Badspot and that having their own wiki page, as they are of importance to the game. It's just when people make their own pages for no reason without actually being of any major contributor to anything seems just silly. You don't normally have people posting about themselves in other game wikis.

Actually, most community-based sites (including pretty much all wikis, as well as this forum!) has a system for user pages (a.k.a. profiles). That's what we have to. And it applies to everyone. Including them.

If you say so. I guess my main concern in the end was most of the pages ended up being pages about ourselves rather than the game, but considering how professional this is looking right now I am sure it'll work.

Shouldnt this one be in B instead of A. http://blockland.nullable.se/wiki/User:Axolotl/BLT
Unless the User is more important than the Add-on in the addons section.

Come on guys stop trying to do these damn wiki things. The last one didn't do good neither did the one before. Blockland isn't a game you can make a wiki out of.
