Wiki is such a funny name

We've decided to make a wiki for the Fallout universe. We don't have a
name yet, but since a lot of people know about it, I figure I may as
well announce it here. You can view the wiki <a href="http://wiki.duckandcover.cx">here</a>. I've also created a forum for discussing it <a href="http://www.duckandcover.cx/forums/viewf ... 6">here</a>.


The sysops (administrators) for the wiki are:

<blockquote><strong>Ausir

DarkUnderlord

</strong>
<strong>Myself</strong>

<strong>Dan</strong>

<strong>Aptyp</strong>

<strong>Spazmo

King of Creation

Jinxed

</strong>
</blockquote>
We'll be adding to this list in the next few days, if you feel you'd
make a good sysop, feel free to PM one of us or post a reply here.


One of the first things we need to do is decide on a name. As you can see from the <a href="http://wiki.duckandcover.cx">front page of the wiki</a>, some have already been suggested; feel free to add your own ideas.


If you're a bit lost on how to use a wiki, feel free to <a href="http://www.duckandcover.cx/forums/viewf ... ?f=56">ask in the forum</a>, or <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWik ... uide">read the users manual</a>.


As you'll probably notice, it's possible for someone to go in there
and spam everything and delete the parts they didn't spam. Firstly,
this spam is reversable so it can be undone easily. Secondly, IPs are
stored and people can be banned from the wiki (and this site) if they
decide they want to wreck everything, so I'm hoping that won't happen.


I think there's a lot of potential in this, so let's see what happens...

I think I'd make a fine sysop, depending on what exactly a sysop is supposed to do, of course?
suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. suddenly somebody will say like 'plate' or 'shrimp' or 'plate of shrimp', out of the blue, no explanation.

Why, without sufficient admins, you could risk things such as people expressing opinions, being funny or, dare I say it, mentioning NMA *gasp*

Actually it's because administrating the thing and keeping track of all the changes is a bitch. People are also allowed to link anything that's Fallout related so if it's an article at NMA, you're more than welcome to link to it in an appropriate place in the wiki. Hell, write a page about the fan-sites if you want.

We should ban Kharn too. He's like the new Ozrat or something.

True, it's a matter of consistency. That snappy remark of mine just now is far worse than any action by Ozrat, ever. Hence and thusly, thus and hence.

PS: set Ozrat free :drunk:

Yeah, we should actually have a picture of your rectum being gang-raped by 30 jiggaboos from a canibal-tribe in Africa.

Did you come to interzone for the beautiful boys?
There are no 'knowns'. There are thing we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know. So when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together, and we then say well that's basically what we see as the situation, that is really only the known knowns and the known unknowns. And each year, we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns.

I'd like you to meet a friend of mine. He specializes in sexual ambivalence.

We have all a lot of sysops because, like IRC, you can't really over moderate the thing.

Who wrote the characters? It's so... stiff. I know it's encyclopedia n'all, but short, simple sentences look... strange.

Aside from this, GG u fagz! Best idea since, uh, since last best idea.

It seems as though Naked_Lunch may well have riled dear Alex . . .

Other than that, the Wallout Fiki seems to be quite interesting. Now for the standard bollocks : Good work ! Keep up the good work ! Nice work ! Huzzah ! Woo yay ! :drunk:

You can't over-admin a wiki, like Dan said. All a sysop can do over regular users is ban IPs/users and rollback spam to a previous, non-spammed version.

Actually, everyone can rollback spam, making it no more then a minor disturbance.

Yeah well, the wiki seems to be working out fine so far...
There are no 'knowns'. There are thing we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know.

Spammers tend to be more tenacious than others, so spam will win.
