Encyclopedia Malfadorica (Wiki)

Just went and looked at the page today and... wow. Y'all are doing a most excellent job. Now I just need to get the poor thing moved over to the PBW server.

I wonder if MM or SG has taken a look at this. I'd love to hear Aaron's opinion

IMO, the Wiki should definitely be a full encyclopedia of SE4, but it also has the potential to be much more.

It also should always have a link to it kept at the top of this thread, as such:

Ho do you 'move' an encyclopedia from the Wiki site? Does it produce a 'package' of some sort or do you have to manually download the pages and set them up? I thought Wiki was there to provide the various information soures created on it. Is it only supposed to be an 'editing' system and most people copy the finished product off of it?

Baron, "Wiki" is just a freeware software package that people can load on their servers. There is no centralized database of all wiki encyclopedias or anything. The SE4 wiki currently is on Laz's personal web server, which IIRC has a lower bandwith than the PBW server.

Actually, my web server probably has significantly higher bandwidth than the PBW server (because it's hosted, and has burstable badnwidth). I think the main reason for moving it to the PBW server would be to have a centralized, more memorable location for it

{BUMP}

I'm bumping up this original mention of the Encyclopedia Malfadorica because I often link to it -- and people seem to think I wrote it or something, and that's not true at all. Credit where credit is due. Check out some early Posts.

OT: Oh, /. says the the original Wikkipedia has now surpassed 100,000 articles. I'm starting to use that more and more. Which may not be a good thing.
