Anyway, since people probably want to know what's going on with my wiki, it's getting hit absurdly hard by spambots. So hard in fact that it's lagging down the server to the point where it took me 20 minutes to get the thing to let me edit a text file, and in that time 15 spam accounts had registered on the wiki.
So, I'm effectively being DDOS'd by spambots trying to make a name for themselves through my wiki. It kinda really *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ing sucks.
I managed to magic my way through that and things are back to running smoothly, however if you want an account you'll need to send me a PM so I can make one for you. If you don't want a password that's super awesome, you'll need to give me an email to send you a randomly generated on to, aswell.
Also, there are things in the work here for things to be slightly better, and my wiki is remaining unaffiliated with MR. Just, you know, so we're clear.

So once we get a wiki up and running how can we integrate it into the website. While it's great idea and I'm all for it wiki's tend to be forgotten about as a sister site.
Can we get a main link on the front page to it and a sticky in each sub forum with a link to the wiki's respective forum category?

TBH I have been wondering this for a while. A wiki is kind of a weird thing for what we'd use it for. Currently we have a bunch of guides and diagrams which are unified under the stickies. How exactly would it work in a wiki? I feel that it would be more spaced (or cluttered for that matter) than it currently is.bentomo said:
I envision it as having each console having its own page, and then have a Mods category that has a page for each individual mod, why it works, and who made it, what led to discover it, etc. if appropriate.
Each console page would have a section devoted to explaining what common mods are as well as a section linking to all known mods for it. This, in addition of course, to the basic information about what the console is.
With this kind of structure, the wiki format would work extremely well, IMO.
A wiki would allow us to be more verbose with our explanations while still being able to get the meat of the article quickly. In this way it could be not only a reference tool, but a learning tool.
