First off, what is a Wiki?
from wikipedia.orgA Wiki or wiki (pronounced [wɪki], [wiki] or [viki]; is a website that allows users to add content, as on an Internet forum, but also allows anyone to edit the content. "Wiki" also refers to the collaborative software used to create such a website (see Wiki software).
Wiki (with an upper case 'W') and WikiWikiWeb are both used to refer specifically to the Portland Pattern Repository, the first-ever wiki. This usage's proponents suggest a lower-case 'w' for wikis in general. The name was based on the Hawaiian term wiki wiki, meaning "quick" or "super-fast". Sometimes wikiwiki or WikiWiki are used instead of wiki
So I was looking at the content on the site as it currently stands, and I was thinking of ways to improve things. I realized that the atoz and the faq are both outdated versions of itself. I wanted to change this, by merging them into something better. This is where a wiki comes in. By using this wiki, not only is the content up to date, but it puts the accuracy of the content into the hands of the community, because you get to take part in improving it. It becomes the communities resource, kinda like this forum, instead of one persons words.
I ask that you guys give it a whirl. It may fail miserably, it might be a pleasant success. But it may be alot of fun. I've pre populated it with the data from the atoz and the faq, so there is a start. If you see things that are missing in it, go right ahead and add it, but be cautious to be accurate and site your sources. For now please keep content to the official content, we'll think together about how to add fan fiction content in later.
You use your board registration information in order to be able to edit, a nice little security feature. You can also upload images that are less than 200k in size, so be considerate of your fellow downloaders. Also please try and use unique naming for the file names, like attach your username to the end of it, so we can keep track of things a bit.
Remember, what happens to this and where it goes is really up to you guys. I don't own it, it's everyones if you want it. Also, it needs a name. KRO Wiki just doesn't pop. I'd appreciate some suggestions on that. And we'll vote on the top responses.
Oh, address!

PPS: Everything in the Wiki is version tracked and logged by user name. You'll be able to see what everyone has changed to the character, and people will be able to see the same about you. This is a fall safe incase something is changed, but it also should make you vigilant about being accurate.
