Don't know if this was discussed before (I'm a newbie ) but how about to setup a wiki for FM (perhaps by SI )

There are so many informations in this forum available, but it's hard to find/read those.

There was one, but it looks like it's closed now. Apparently due to lack of interest.

Oh .

I assume you mean wikipedia, this is what I found FM Wikipedia Page

retired_captainalders

No, I've meant an own wiki for FM. For instance to collect guides, share tactics etc. Would be more transparent as doing it with threads here...

We can definitely do better with the resources available on the forums, but not sure a Wiki system is the best way to go about it. We do (or did) have the SIBase system on our website which worked quite well when people bothered to read it and was good to be able to point people in that direction.

We actually use Wiki software internally at SI and have done for a few years now so we're no strangers to that sort of system.

Um, i'm showing my age and lack of PC skills here when I say, what is a wiki?

retired_lbils

Correct. It's a shame.

A Wiki is another means of collaboration, where everybody can read and write articles. Wikipedia is a very famous example of a wiki

The disadvantage of a wiki is, that the content can be easily destroyed by a bad guy. But since a wiki versions all the changes it's normally not a big issue.

But a wiki needs some responsible who takes care about the main structure etc. so that it does not become chaotic etc.

Well if you'd be willing to set it up
