      @cabal By "like Wikipedia" do you mean the MediaWiki software? Because systems do vary between Wiki software.

        @ponybis Yes. I used wikipedia as a reference as some people don't know that it runs on "MediaWiki".

          @cabal And people with experience would recognize it and those without wouldn't. I'd be surprised to find serious Wikipedia editors whom aren't aware of that.

            @ponybis Well, if you took your A+ cert or any other course revolving troubleshooting software and computers for other people, you'd understand why.

              @cabal I haven't done that yet, but I understand your point. Listing them both makes the most sense, though.

                @ponybis Come help out! At need at least 6 people to form 3 task forces to help with the wiki. Also, cc.rainbowdash.net is going to get axed if its unused.

                  @cabal I made an account, but I'm not sure how active I'll be able to be. Going away tomorrow for 3 days as well, so will be gone a bit anyways. But give me some direction and I'll see what I can do. My experience with MediaWiki is actually minimal, but I'm usually pretty good at figuring things out. And I know how to use the Preview button.

                    @ponybis Well, thats not the wiki I'm talking about. I'm also working on a seperate one on a local machine for fanfiction.

                      @cabal Okie dokie lokie. I don't read much fanfiction, but I could format and moderate I suppose. If I have enough free time to indulge in some perhaps I could add content as well, but I'm not sure how likely that is to happen.
