poesel Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Hi, it has been mentioned several times: this game needs a Wiki. BFC won't be making one (I asked) but they won't mind having one I can offer a server with a Wiki installation (MoinMoin). The same thing had hosted the Wiki for Dropteam (now sadly defunct). The other option would be to go to a place like wikia.com. This is from the same guy that started the Wikipedia. Ok, two questions: 1) what is your opinion on which service to use? I have no opinion - there are pros and cons for both. This will be an community effort so I don't want to force it on anyone. 2) who wants to help with administration? To be clear: thats NOT content creation. Its about user management, spam fighting and all the other boring housekeeping stuff. Please PM me if interested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnergoz Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'm too unqualified as to either 1 or 2 to answer them, but I will give you a big Bravo Zulu if you do get something started. It is something we can all benefit from and can potentially help the newbies a lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlie Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 brilliant idea. similarly i dont know enough to help with those 2 points but i would love to help out with content. i know its not what you asked but i thought you would like to know its going to get at least some support if you get it sorted 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyO Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 As a newbie, that would be extremely helpful...an organized source of community knowledge and wisdom. Hard to pull off, but if it can be done... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoolaman Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 http://combatmission.wikia.com/wiki/Combat_Mission:_Battle_for_Normandy There already was a Combat Mission Page on Wikia so I just added CMBN and put a bit of a framework together there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakuth Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I might start putting a few pages up on the wikia location then. Mostly poached from these here forums, since I am not the most experienced player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakuth Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Ok to clarify though - my articles will also have to be image-less. I will sneakily be putting some text up at work, but without images unless I steal them from these forums. I figure I'll put MY knowledge down, just as a starter so some other newbies can get some basics. Later they'll probably be consolidated or cleaned up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Hoolaman. Good idea. I will see what I can do later in the week with making this a goer. Wiki being ideal compared t the morass of digging through BF archives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poesel Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 Since noone thus far volunteered for administration and there already is a CM wiki on wikia (which I didn't know) I take it its wikia then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Yep. But I suspect you are more Wiki savvy than most of us and hterefore more useful! Also you may be able to bring German input grom CMBN fansites. : ) I am in need of French speakers at the momnet to find the report Le Panther 1947 : ( 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
