FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I am creating a high performance wiki which my friend zobian very kindly let me use his web server (2 quadcores 12 gb ram) to make a very snappy responsive wiki page..come and help edit it :)

[url]minetestwiki.co.cc/[/url]

zobian

I read 'zombian' and was very confused at first :D

Tell me where (in what categories/hierarchy) to put mod pages and mods nodes pages, and I'll make at least my mods pages :)

Also, I would like you to make automated daily database dumps and put them in some public place. For the case you wiki would be closed/dropped/loses hoster/etc.

I just start the French version, but there is no thumbs yet...

Nice work, I've just fixed a couple of typos on the main page will check in again later after work ^_^

I'm moving my mods info to that wiki. I hope you'll make dumps, I want to have a backup of my infos :)

yes we are going to back up the whole website

Nice. Then I'll help filling the wiki in free time. Thank you!

ok guys were creating it slowly. here is the link: http://minetestwiki.co.cc/index.php?title=Main_Page

so far we have created
-getting started
-mods
*nature mod pack
*nuke mod
-crafting recipes
-lua api
*ABM
*Nodes
*Items
*Crafting
*Other

I'm moving lua api documentation there because c55.me is down very often and I can't get documentation :)
@jordan4ibanez: look to redirecting pages name, so that wiki links can look like minetestwiki.co.cc/Name, not minetestwiki.co.cc/index.php?title=Name

Players, please fill the general game pages (tutorials, crafting, nodes from the default mods).

You should use interlanguage links instead of what you're doing for the French part. It makes it more organized, and there's a separate wiki for each language.

Edit: I guess you're trying to do that on the main page at least, but it isn't working. It doesn't work on one of my wikis either, and it's the same software. I'll have to find out how to do it.

++, I was just going to advice to install wikifamily to support interlanguage links.

But we don't need an extension that does that much, do we?

Also, one thing we could do is make it be similar to the Minecraft Wiki, where languages are done with page names like Blocks/fr.

Only with redirecting. Otherwise french users that don't know that blocks are 'blocks' in English won't be able to find the right page.

Yes, but it would just be a temporary solution/plan B (If the language extensions don't work somehow).

They will, just need to install them.

NO MULTILINGUAL PAGES UNTIL WE GET THE MULTILINGUAL PLUGIN..if any one knows any good plugins for that tell me

hmmm is the wiki down? I've been trying to access it all day to get some stuff added but it keeps timing out for me.

It's down for me right now. It worked earlier though.

They are upgrading RAM now, just wait :)

its up :D

I added may texturepacks to the respective section :)

I've added minetest version sections for that page. But thanks anyway :)

You are doing it wrong. Check out mob section the picture is blured out. It should be without blur and pixeled...

I've added my mod description at http://minetestwiki.co.cc/index.php?title=Mods

Modders, please add your mods in the same way.

Maybe mods should each have there own page that way you could images, mod descriptions and other helpful stuff for each mod (if that makes sense).

So then the page where you've added your mod would just become a list maybe grouped by developer as a lot of mod developers have more than one mod or even better grouped by category...but then that would mean coming up with categories that everyone can agree on.

They already have own pages in 'mods' category. This page is for quick searching a mod and looking to its requirements and download link.

ah sorry didn't notice the other pages >_<
