Lemmings Wiki

[Clam]

I just found http://lemmings.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">this site - a functional (though not very informative) Lemmings wiki.

Would it be worthwhile to contribute to this, or try to create something like it? Do you guys like the wiki style?

[The Doctor]

I may contribute to this wiki. It already exists, I don't see much point in making another.

[Dullstar]

Why make another one?  Might as well just improve it...

[Clam]

When I say "create something like it", I mean some sort of on-site information centre that forum members can edit. Civfanatics has something like this and it seems to work well.

[Mr Kiwi]

I think making a new one would be better then adding to a dead one.

[The Doctor]

It's only dead if people don't add to it.

So, if we added to it, like I've started to, it's not dead.

Simple math.

[Mr Kiwi]

Nm looks like it is static.

[The Doctor]

Only one way to change that, isn't there...

I'm gonna try to add as much detail on the various ports of Lemmings I've played, and maybe some Lemmings 2 details.

Making our own wiki is pointless if nobody would edit it.

There's already a wiki nobody is editing.

There'd just be two unedited wikis.

So why not just pick up where they left off.

After all, the whole point of a wiki is you contribute.

So...

...contribute. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" class="smiley" />

I'm not a fan of Wikis myself.. but that's because I like things to look nice. Wikis are incredibly difficult to style from my past experience. I think it'd be worth saving a copy of any contributions any of us make to the wiki in case Wikia goes kaput. If we as a forum can make it a proper Lemmings Wiki, I think it'd be a fantastic resource for people looking to find out more about Lemmings!

I see some progress already http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/smiley.gif" alt=":)" title="Smiley" class="smiley" />. Later on we might even be able to add cool stuff that no one has done before, like glitches. Bulbapedia (Pokemon wiki) has awesome pages about glitches and other quirks - I can see a Lemmings wiki having something similar.

Just don't go putting all your time into this over other projects http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/smiley.gif" alt=":)" title="Smiley" class="smiley" />.

The Wiki needs, like, a thousand more articles, there's barely anything on there.

[The Doctor]

Well, like I say, only one way to make those pages.... and that's to make them.

  There was actually a wiki created by the people of this forum. I seem to have deleted the bookmark, though it's out there - somewhere. It was eventually abandoned, and had a large number of articles as well, if I recall, many of which I made or contributed to.
  If anyone has the URL tucked away somewhere, it'd be appreciated. =P
