[Site News] Archie Comics Wiki

December 12, 2007, 06:44:42 PM |
 I have decided to go ahead and launch the wiki. It still needs quite a bit of work in the backend (I haven't created the privacy policy or copyright pages yet, the disclaimer is pretty generic and I'm still using the default logo), but I feel it's more important to go ahead and give everyone access so you can get started working on the fun stuff.
The wiki is located at http://wiki.archiefans.com - those of you who are registered on the forum will automatically be registered there. If you are still seen as a guest even though you're logged in to the forum, you will need to log out of the forum and log back in again. This is due to a change in the way cookies are stored that I made a while back - the change makes cookies from the main site work for the subdomain too 
A few basics before you get started:
Do not copy information from Wikipedia. You may use it as a reference, as long as you mention this in your article, but you may not copy information from Wikipedia as it is under a different license than the one I'm using.
Please place things in their proper namespace:
Titles: all articles about a particular title published by Archie Comics (example: Betty and Veronica would be .../Titles:Betty_and_Veronica)
Stories: all articles about a particular story (.../Stories:Story_Name)
Any articles on a particular issue of a title should be created as a subpage of that title's main page:
Betty and Veronica #1 would be created as .../Titles:Betty_and_Veronica/Issue_1 (the "Issue" helps clarify what the article is about)
All other articles go in the main namespace and do not require a specific prefix.
For now we just need to focus on getting the articles started - we can fill in details and add references later on.
