Yesterday, I started work on City of Wiki. It's an unofficial City of Heroes: Homecoming wiki. All content will need to be re-written from scratch. Nothing can be copied from ParagonWiki unless the content comes directly from the game itself. The reasons for this are because so much has changed since Issue 24 beta, and because ParagonWiki uses an incompatible license. (Seriously, GNU Free Documentation License for a wiki? But I digress.) There's nothing on the site yet, and the look is far from final. I'm giving a heads up because I'm going to need help, obviously. If there's a graphic artist in the house, a new logo to replace the default logo would be great. 😛 So... why can't you copy ParagonWiki and start modifying from there? The GNU license explicetly states coping and modifying is covered. So long as you're not trying to make money from it, it's covered. Where are we going, and why am I in this hand basket?

davpa Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Would it make sense to update the CoH Fandom site as it already has a large chunk of info already on it? It would not be a start from scratch and things can be edited for the HC system.

Hyperstrike Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Question: Would it make sense to fork an editable copy of PW and lock the extant PW to maintain it's archival status?

Derek Icelord Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Fandom (formerly Wikia) has a lot of issues. Most notably having zero checks on what ads they run, meaning you can get malware from them. ParagonWiki was originally a Wikia site, but TonyV noped the fuck out of there once the issues started cropping up. Where are we going, and why am I in this hand basket?

davpa Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) I understand that the fandom sites are not ideal, but as a stopgap it makes the most sense. New materials can be written with the idea of then transferring them to Paragon Wiki when it “opens up” for expanding to i26+ material. The CoH wiki gives us a chance to write and share the new material without starting it all from scratch.

The absolute WORST thing we can do is start randomly infesting fellow players with malware and exposing kids to..."ads" for stuff kids have no business looking at. 1 If you want to be godlike, pick anything.
