Introducing the RPC Library wiki - FreelanceWizard - 10-02-2010
I've been mulling over releasing this, but I figure I've got enough of the templating done at this point that I can safely make the announcement.
The RPC Library Wiki is open for business!
Located at scenic http://www.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/wiki, the RPC Library Wiki offers players an opportunity to create pages for their characters, to report on discovered lore, to detail their linkshells and companies in exquisite full wiki detail, and to post stories, art, and other content relevant to the RP community as a whole.
I highly recommend making Help:Contents your first stop after the main page, so you can see the short list of rules, note the licensing (CC-BY-SA, for those such as artists who care about that), and see how to put your character page up with a simple copy-paste process. Those who've done any posts over on the VirtueVerse site for CoH should find that this process is quite familiar.
Obviously, all discussions about the wiki should be performed on these forums. Like all wikis, this one is a work in progress, and we'll (I'll?) continue to refine the templates and category design as we go.

I moved the topic to the Headlines to increase visibility as this is a huge announcement. Links to the wiki will be set up in appropriate places throughout the RPC to ensure that everyone is aware of it's existence. The more community involvement, the better.

Yah, incredible work FreelanceWizard
I give this Announcement the rating of
as it is so awesome ^-^
Re: Introducing the RPC Library wiki - FreelanceWizard - 10-02-2010
Thanks for the kudos.
I hope to see our wiki grow as people become aware of its existence.One thing I want to point out is that I'll be doing a certain amount of RC (Recent Changes) patrol. A fair amount of that involves some simple wiki-work, such as recategorizing pages if needed, wikifying markup, and the like. So, don't be alarmed if I perform an edit on your page. I'll always leave a comment on the edit that you can view in the history explaining what I've done.
Also, if you run into issues working on a page, you can tag it with {{Help-me}} and it'll be placed in a category called Pages Requesting Help. Others can then find it and come by to offer assistance. And, of course, you can always ask for help here.

Wow, amazing job! :bounce:
Now to find my notebook full of things I jotted down to add to the wiki.... :3

If you haven't noticed, we do need a banner though >.>. Hopefully someone can come up with something sooner or later.

Get hot on that banner contest folks!
Re: Introducing the RPC Library wiki - FreelanceWizard - 10-03-2010
Indeed! I'm looking forward to getting a fancy banner up there. We can actually do banner rotations on MediaWiki (I need to install an extension to do it, but it's entirely doable), so we could use more than one if we wanted to.

This is cool! I'm gonna pay way more attention to lore in game now >.>

Re: Introducing the RPC Library wiki - Trizzip - 10-03-2010
I've not only added my IC and OOC data for myself, but I've added little tidbits from the Library on some of the categories that Brin falls under 'botanist, carpentry, lancer, etc'
Also got the Crimson Blades page started up, which made me think of a question for you FreeLance. Is it possible for a template to be created that accomidates linkshells? Something where we could have the member list all under the template?
Re: Introducing the RPC Library wiki - FreelanceWizard - 10-03-2010
Funny you asked that. I've been pondering how best to handle that. Historically, the approach I've seen used is to create a category and a page for each group. This lets you have a list of all characters (in the category page) and a full page for the group (linked off the category page). Looking at your page, that's essentially what you've done.
Unfortunately, there's no easy way to template something like this, especially as you can have more than one LS, but I can write up some instructions on how to set it up for others.
