[OT] Trying to start an Ultima wiki
Posted: Wed Dec 06, 2006 7:07 am
Hello,
As far as I know, there's no great big Ultima wiki that would a) be actually reasonably maintained and b) would actually be edited a lot.
So, my idea was to start one.
I contacted Wikia about this. They recommended to take a look at the Ultima V Lazarus wiki hosted at Wikia, which was pretty much stalled, and start expanding that and turn that into a generic Ultima wiki. So... um... I started doing that. They handed me admin bit and away I went. I feel a bit odd about hijacking a whole wiki, but I guess no one minds if this is done properly. =)
I have this grand vision of something like the Doom wiki (http://doom.wikia.com/); there's tons of interesting facts about the game series that would be extremely fun to catalogue.
At the moment, the project has not really gone much father than me changing the main page and wiki logo, recategorising (or, rather, categorising in first place) the Lazarus material, and bringing in a few Wikipedia articles. So, there's not really all that much trumpeting to be done.
But just for the sake of interest, if there's folks who would like to give me a hand with this, the wiki is here:
http://u5lazarus.wikia.com/
We'll move the wiki to "ultima.wikia.com" later when this gets off the ground. =)
