Subaru Wiki

[MercuryFree]

Right, so seeing as everyone's always harping on about not having a way to store community knowledge and so on and so forth, deathz0r and I have taken some initiative and got a wiki going.

Http://www.wikibaru.com

If the domain name isn't awesome enough for you I hate you all .

If anyone who's interested could have a play around with it, add some information, new pages, register as a user, do different things as both users and anonymous etc blah blah that would be much appreciated.

Instructions are linked to on the main page.

Cheers guys, hopefully this is the start of something great.

PS: If someone with mad graphic design skills *shiftily looks at shale* has some free time and wants to come up with some logo ideas then that would be greatly appreciated.

PPS: We've tried to set it up somewhat as an 'affiliate' site to clubsub, basically to encourage input from other knowledgeable randoms on the internet whilst still advertising the fact that clubsub exists through the wiki mainpage, if anyone was wondering as to the motivation behind that.

Awesomely awesome domain name! Only one gripe... why did you not go with Mediawiki?

It is well known and most people know how to use it from the wikipedia dominance...

Otherwise good job (thanks for including me in this... )

lol, at least this one is information only. good work, much better than having it as a forum as the last person tried which will be full of useless crap.

well done guys one issue though, can someone activate my account, I haven't received the e-mail

[deathz0r]

Aw man, I didn't know he was going to post on CS about it so soon - I would of got my act together and fixed some stuff first! lol.

@JoKer - not a forum, it's a Wiki, so just pure information

@aim - I'll look into this for ya this afternoon

@chrisjunkie - cPanel had Tiki-Wiki as like a 'preinstalled' option and I couldn't be bothered with MediaWiki lawl

haha just joshing ya - c'mon man!

and i have no idea how it works as I see the Nasioc wiki is down (or just not working for me) but was/is it not possible just to add to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru ?

Wikipedia is very general, I assume our wiki will be more for How to's and more technical information such as wiring diagrams, weights, part names/numbers etc...

Yeah imo we very much want this to be a site affiliated to/maintained by CS.

How are we to address issues such as quality/accuracy of information?

May i suggest technical how-tos section, part numbers section, and possibly a common-part interchangeability table.

The main issue i can see here is the amount of information and arranging it logically, and more importantly, ease of finding said info.

All taken into account

Can you merge the accounts databases? or is that too much to ask? So that only forum members can edit etc?

Bingo

Not per se, but it is entirely possible to only allow certain 'class' of member on the wiki to edit certain information

Also re: Tiki vs. Mediawiki, Tiki appears to have very similar if not identical wiki syntax to Mediawiki so that's not really a problem, plus Tiki has a whoooole lot of added backend functionality that Mediawiki doesn't really have as Mediawiki is just a pure wiki...but if Tiki turns out to be a peice of crap it won't be too hard to migrate the data over so meh

Have you guys checked your spam/junk folders? I signed up a test account last night and it worked fine aside from the email going into my spam box. We can just manually activate the accounts but working out what's wrong with the emailing bit would be more ideal

Edit: 6 clubsub people have signed up and only half of you haven't received the verification email, it looks like. So yeah, check spam folder and get back to us I guess

Not in my spam folder...

here's my spam for today/couple of days ago.
