That makes sense I guess.

The wiki is "started", but only about ten people currently have access to it. Once more infrastructure, I guess, is set up, everyone will get access.

i'd be careful with giving everyone access knux

just give rights to edit to people who won't troll

That kind of ruins the point of a wiki. People who are found to troll/vandalize can be banned. It works pretty well for the forums and other wikis.

Why can't you put it under approval moderation, like the glitch in the announcements board?

If we have to consider doing that (which we don't), we have bigger problems on our hands.

The wiki is private now so we can develop the standards for articles that we'll use later. I also need to finish the theme and stuff.

The only problem with that would be limiting the information added/information corrected on the wiki to a smaller group of people. There will be some protections to pages with high traffic, usage, or importance but the general idea of a wiki is to add information. That being said, it would make sense to have the wiki grow with everyone's contributions and ban those who vandalize the wiki, or as you stated, troll.

Also Knux has as much of a right to access the wiki as everyone else, he hasn't done anything wrong and he doesn't seem to be too much of a risk as it is.

Oh, one of you guys who wants to do this should contact Joey - I've quit. Idk if I should tell the reason why since its ether a point of contention between Joey and I. Joey, should I tell them?

I would like to help, but I probably wouldn't be accepted since I'm a newbie here.

I can log in and write on it,right?

No, it's not open to the public yet.

You're free to edit the wiki when it opens, which is soon. The only reason we're having only a few people edit it right now is so that we can get a solid platform to use when it's open, instead of trying to figure it out as we go along.

Im allready a part of the wiki help team...but it wont let me post any articals.

That's because you aren't a part of the wiki help team. I don't remember ever sending you a PM about it.

The link is private until the wiki is completely set up and ready for community editing.

why can't we just view it lol
i don't see the problem with that

I asked if I could work on it,but you never said anything about it!

Sorry, you weren't accepted to the team. I only PM'd the ones that did, and didn't say anything to those who didn't.

Don't say sorry...whatever...

I could help. I have good grammar, spelling and punctuation and am a brilliant writer
