Rimworld Wiki! (old thread)

Right now, I see as a sort of game within the game for testers. Each time Tynan releases a build, I'm like "What did he implement since last time?". I should probably be the one along with other testers to keep a changelog.

Lol. Okay, I'll be dropping data on the major changes. And as soon as we have a bug database up, I'll of course be resolving anything fixed. It's not totally cowboy programming out here.

Breaking news: Muffalo taming announced for next build!

If that's too much of a hassle right now, being pre-alpha and all, I suppose it's not much a problem if you don't bother.

I still think that will be something very useful once the KS is done (and you've become a billionaire), as I suspect there will be a fair bunch of people willing to beta- (or alpha- of course) test the game.
Keeping track of changes will benefit everyone (mostly you, actually).

After noting how horribly intrusive the ads are on Wikia, I've installed a new MediaWiki installation at http://ludeon.com/rimworldwiki/

I think we should migrate content there over the long term and eventually close the Wikia. Hopefully it won't be too tough; there are only 11 pages so far.

Does that work? Then there will be a nice clean wiki for us, without all the wikia crap in your face.

With AdBlock Plus always active, I didn't even notice Wikia's advertisements. I support the self-hosting choice, but I'm guessing it will be less intuitive for people not accustomed to wiki syntax as MediaWiki doesn't have a WYSIWYG editor by default.

true and not enough people using adblock plus these days.

Altough i can recommend it to everybody.
Id help putting the stuff over but since i cant confirm it actually works like that ingame i feel bad fulling in stuff that might be incorrect.

Putting the stuff over and confirming/changing the stuff according to the current status in the game would be best.

Is there another wiki you think would work better? I can put on DocuWiki, PmWiki, or WikkaWiki relatively easily.

I don't know the others well enough to recommend them, but I just found a WYSIWYG extension for MediaWiki. Worth a shot.

I had some trouble with that extension in the past.
Been a while since i used it though so it might be that it actually works now.

But id say use a mainstream wiki. They have the most support for adblocking etc.

Just searched my phone for some links and guides i used in the past.
Will add more later when i finish some work.  apperantly work could wait. Nighshift anyway and we reached our KPI's

Not a problem for me.
The only time I've used the WYSIWYG editor was when I was tweaking some tables...

Hi Guys, just found this amazing game. Can I help with the Wiki in any way?

[British]

Hello JugglerX,

You can always read this thread.
We're slowly transitioning to hosting a wiki on ludeon.com, but if you have the graphical skills I lack, you can still define ways of improving the wiki on wikia.
Or if you're familiar with creating/managing wikis, there are certainly many things missing in ours...

Dont forget alot will still chance so leave room within your design to do stuff differently

I was talking about the graphics of the wiki...
