3 years ago I used to be a part of the Biography project on Wikipedia, and I remember the countless hours working on the backlog of 150,000+ articles that needed to be wikified, formatted, categorized, or outright deleted.

I propose that nothing be "in-character" except for character bios, for consistency. SGs would be not in character.
I created a {{biography}} template to use when creating a character biography, and if it all possible, try to keep the character portraits to 150px width / 350px height. -
I don't believe in parks.

I got a big 182MB download upon exiting tonight... I wonder what for...

...and now video! Thank you, Neo!

Yay, now we can add pictures in gallery style.

Added VoodooGirl. If you make it a voodoo package (both of you), I personally will put up a starting bid of 200mill. What do you think?!

I just need to find a way to get Flickr to work with VicWik.

I'm up for being auctioned, if you're still accepting auctionees.

It takes time to learn and embrace. I still refer to the original Wiki for editing styles.

Exactly. Any Victory wiki site worth its salt will need a page describing what a "Hambush" is. ;-)

...in the beginning there was nothing...
...and then Satanic Hamster said, "Let there be light!"
...still it was dark as Hell but at least you could see it...
...and from that abyss emerged...
...nothing...
That's a good start. -

Wikis are scary.
OR
Kittens with laser eyes are scary
OR
My AE arcs becoming mandatory, repeatable arcs every 2 levels is scary
Wiki's are not scary - they are an amusing time vampire. -
Alternatively, "Welcome to the Victory Server, $newbie. Are you new to the game/new to our server? We have a wiki if you'd like to acclimate yourself to our...ways (sinister laughter.)"
I see it as a community building tool and less of an ego stroking exercise. Naturally, some people will do just that - people already do that on (the real) Wikipedia - stroke their egos.
Let them do it.
I think we do enough community events and have our own unique little "society" here that, as I said previously, I think of this more as scrapbooking.
I've been playing for 5 some odd years and there's a reason I haven't left Victory. It's the people. Or those things that call themselves people. Whatever they are, I consider being with them "home." -

And we need this why exactly? Personalized wikis really don't serve any purpose except to give insecure folks a reason to think they are important. We've got this section of the CoH boards. That should be enough for any server... and yes, I'm looking at YOU Virtue :/
Do we need this game? No. It's for fun.
Each server has it's own unique community make-up - and, well - this is sort of like scrapbooking. -
Etiquette, anyone?

I sort of started it as a joke but it has begun to rekindle my Wiki-love and I think it will turn into a fun project.

The new Victory Wiki can be located here (thanks to Neo Shadowdream for setting it up!):
htp://victorywiki.pc-logix.com -
Darn right. Already protected a few pages

Yep. That's the idea of a Wiki. It is supposed to function like an encyclopedia comprised of shared knowledge, but you can make your own for whatever you'd like. So, feel free to dive in there ;-)
If you want to see some ridiculous cyber arguments, go watch an RFA (Request For Admin) on Wikipedia. -
Sounds good
-
I actually may find myself more invested in it than I originally thought... I had a mighty bad Wikipedia-bout back in 2007 where I accumulated over 100,000 edits in a 3 month period.

It's an optional $10 to get a nice add-on to the game. It is not a necessity - so if you don't want it and/or don't want to pay the $10 - then don't.
You still get free content added to the game, which does include, at times, new costumes, powers, etc.
