i think it would be pretty tight if you guys did

It would definitely boost the number f people that join the site.
Would be quite cool
Everything else is on Wikipedia anyway....even the train station I go to in the mornings to get to college XD

Hahah, well, if you want you can. But who would search about us? I guess if you guys want to, go ahead, all the information you'd ever need on the site is in the Knowledge Base.

Bennie you don't need to know HTML to put anything on wikipedia, you just need to have some information and know the formatting rules for Wikipedia.

Trying to format Wikipedia is a pain in the backside though. This is coming from experience in trying to put in a link to SSX in Rahzel's Wikipedia....no fun XD

I'll try it ^^, but maybe it's better to make an test first, maybe everyone who wants can post things here that have to be into the page and then I'll post it, or just add it yourself :cheers

Edit: Normally when u open a wiki page u get a inventory with all the subtitles of the document, well thats problem 1. The i need text, a lot of text so for that I count on you guys ^^

scotskid · Posted: Fri May 09, 2008 9:28 am Post subject:

NORMALLY, Bennie. Not always. You don't need a hellish lot of text. We can al describe what the forum is, what it's about and all that jazz, but only the older members can give us its history

That's what I said: normally ^^
About the history, ask gondee (he'll be old enough) or just watch this

and we could also add pics and make links (for regesitering etc, if allowed of course)

Ok, I fail at that too. I can;t format Wiki to save myselfXD

Why is there 2 votes to "no" ??

MAC_and_cheese · Posted: Fri May 09, 2008 10:04 pm Post subject:

I could do it if you guys want, but aside the SSX FanArt and records, what is there to write about?

Bennieboj · Posted: Sat May 10, 2008 1:12 am Post subject:

Forum history?

MAC_and_cheese · Posted: Sat May 10, 2008 5:20 am Post subject:

I wouldn't really be the one to write it.

My history here consists of :

Sign up
Post like a maniac
Some flaming
Filip banned
I leave for a few months
I come back - a ton of members are gone.
Some new members join.
Now.

I'm sure the older Grav awards and the fish sandwich topic were interesting too, and as much as I like this forum, I don't know if wiki allows us to do this for forums.

scotskid · Posted: Sat May 10, 2008 6:18 am Post subject:

if Wiki allows people to write about localised train stations that only really mean something to a select group of people, I think it'll allow a forum

Bennieboj · Posted: Sat May 10, 2008 6:19 am Post subject:

This would be my beginning of the history of ssx :cheers

Haha, I dont know if you guys have experience with contributing to Wikipedia, but there are very strict rules about what websites qualify to have an article there.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia: ... _%28web%29

Plus, generally you are never recommended to write about anything that you have a personal connection to, so it will be seen as both Conflict of Interest and Advertising.

You can also read this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia: ... dia_is_not

So not only is it a bad idea, it would be deleted within days.

OK, that's not funny :cry

Haha, I wondered about that, thanks flexxx - that makes sense. Don't worry Bennie I'm not offended if you don't put Merq on Wikipedia. Wikipedia has it's uses but I can understand why they don't want every website to put an entry on their pages. :china

That is why they have encyclopedia dramatica. An entire wiki dedicated to internet drama!

yeah I know gondee

but If you're not allowed to "post" something on wikipedia when you have a personla connection to it wiki would be as good as empty I guess, cuz when u know something about it you have also a personal connection to it ^^
But that makes no sense :heh

Makes sense to me.

piza · Posted: Mon May 12, 2008 7:14 am Post subject:
