T.A.L.E.'s wiki is for lore both in-game and for our linkshell. It's basically a place to keep track of all the flavor text and things that might be overlooked in a wiki like Eorzeapedia's, which has its own use.
For instance, in FFXI it was widely assumed that Kazham was the Mithran homeland. Having a lore-specific wiki where RPers could put in the actual information (as I understand it right now the closest hint to the Mithran homeland is "Olzhirya", mentioned in the Wings of the Goddess expansion) would help people maintain consistency with their collaborative storylines.
For linkshell purposes, it will be in all likelihood something much more useful 6 months from now than at the start of the game. After a while, especially with people joining and leaving shells or joining multiple shells, etc., it can be hard to keep everything straight--how did the group get founded, who were their foes early on, what exactly happened that one night at the pub in Gridania and why were the police involved, etc.
tl;dr: Our wiki is basically just to organize linkshell lore and in-game lore in an easily accessible place for our members and guests to help with story continuity.
EDIT: Yeah just wanted to remind you Cas, TALE had offered to donate our wiki (Lorespinner) to the RPC for a general use lore wiki, that is how we found out you had plans already to make one for the RPC. TALE is fine with using Lorespinner just for TALE-related lore and contributing to a larger, general RPC wiki for in-game lore. :approve:
