So... I've been thinking about this for a long time. Am I the only one who thinks that Celeron55's wiki is pretty hard to understand and maybe even hard to navigate through?

I was thinking that everyone on this forum can create our own wiki on Wikia... It's pretty easy to create pages on Wikia.

But the thing is that I don't know if Celeron55 will allow this at all. You know, I didn't want to start a huge project without c55's permission.

So what do you think? Yay, or Nay?

I like the idea, but what about a different host? I'm not a huge fan of wikia...

We went down that road recently and as far as I'm concerned I gave up 3 or 4 hours of my life before it went away, so I'm a little gunshy right now. If anything, I'd like it to be on a stable provider and make sure someone is taking snapshots.

This could be easily added to [url]minetest.com[/url]

Hey guys,

Check it out ;)

http://wiki.minetest.com/

Nothing in it yet, I was hoping you guys could help with that :)

Also I'm terrible at making logos, as you can see.

I could help but this is an FYI, someone's been working on a wiki for a while and by the way, I joined Minetest after I saw your fansite about 2 months ago.
EDIT: I found out that I cannot add pages on the wiki. I think it's either a privilege or you didn't activate something in the software, I do not know since I didn't download this software.

Really? I'm sorry, I wasn't aware someone else had been working on one. Not sure what to do about that...

Have you verified your email address? You'll need to to add pages. (btw to add pages just make an internal link to the page you want to make, then follow the red link and edit that page). So like how I just created a link to the "crafting guide" page, but it's red because the page doesn't exist yet, so to make that page you just need to go there and start typing. Let me know if you need any help!

About Saxony's wiki.

I really don't like that you can't add photos. It really sucks... :(
But on Wikia, you can.
I don't know why some people don't like that host. With Wikia it's ridiculously easy... Just saying. ;)

I think we can integrate images in it (just need to install a plugin maybe)

No need for a recipe section. Got one going on [url]minetest.com[/url] that I'm currently updating.

Since minetest has a wiki, a forum, and two web-pages, why don't you just ask celeron if you can help? Or make your own minetest web-page with your own mods, texture packs and what not. With so much creative and generosity, it seems like such a waste of effort to make another wiki.
