I was curious if any of you guys are Wikia experts? A player of my games started a Wikia, and it's become quasi-official in that I try to check it once a week and fact check, etc. However he's suddenly very busy and doesn't have time to work on it and I certainly don't with three new games coming up. So I told him I'd see if anyone else was interested. I've started using the site to keep my own stories straight, it's a nice reference for my own material and organized a LOT better! :D
SO, is anyone following me interested in working on it? Most of the pages are locked down, however anyone can add new pages. The locked down ones are only editable by approved editors or something. I'm not real familiar with how Wikia works.
I'd like two or three people at most to moderate it, someone interested enough in my fantasy universe to add details and sort stuff out. They'll be given full access to the protected content too, and allowed to change anything to improve the Wikia.
The games I personally want added are Steelcurse, Runeseekers 1 and 2, Gearlock, the Hood series, Guild Dungeons 1 and 2, Relic, The Children of Brinn, the Spellsword Demo, Kingdom of Liars, Pact. Some of these games a bit old and might not run too well anymore, sadly. ;_;
All of these games take place in the same world, I'd love to have the detials straightened out more. If anyone is interested in this, please let me know! You can see the Wikia at the link below, and I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.
http://lorestrome.wikia.com/wiki/Lorestrome_Wiki 99.9 percent of what is on the wikia now is correct info.
There is also a very good Alice is Dead wikia, but I don't have any ties to it. It has a lot of great details though!

Details are what I'm mostly looking for, about areas, people, places, artifacts and objects. Things I can refer to or include in future games. Screenshots also help as I often have to redraw these objects or characters, and going back and playing through a game to find a single object can be a pain.
If you're interested in modding the Lorestrome Wikia, please let me know! And if you've run some Wikia before, or had an upper tier hand in working on them, I'd like to see that too! I personally don't know a thing about working on them, however I love having the unexpected resource available. I will try to find ways to include the mods in some of my future games, I can't afford to pay anyone now so this is a volunteer position and you can quit anytime, no hard feelings, etc. No pressure here. But I'll try to find a way to pay you guys back as I continue my projects into the next year.
Thanks either way, stay cool guys! ALSO, I'm a year older now! D: DRAT!

Man that sounds great, i have some experience editing the Afro Samurai Wiki, but that is because that was one hell of a neglected wiki, and well am only confident with Hood and maybe Kingdom of Liars, but i am sure i missed a lot of details, and those are the ones i am sure i finished completely even with Easter eggs, so i am not confident to edit a wiki, but if that is the case i will have to play them more thoroughly first, but it sure sounds like plan, at least for the point and clicks, i normally get stuck on the RPGs...

Yeah, I hear that. Please feel free to add to the wikia if you're interested, I'll shoot the admin a note letting him know! I understand about the getting stuck, I make a variety of games types, all in the same setting, they're not all going to be for everyone. That's okay I think. ^_^
