Crossposted on PD.

It is my pleasure to make public the Planetarion Wiki.

What is a wiki?
A wiki is a system for organizing large amounts of information. A wiki allows almost every page to be edited by anyone using any webbrowser. The wiki software we use supports a simple syntax (wikicode) somewhat similar to vbcode for linking between pages and for general markup purposes.

What is PAWiki?
PAWiki is a wiki set up specifically for Planetarion. It is meant as a resource independant of PAteam, alliances, skill and social network. It is my hope that PAWiki will encompass material similar to that on Scouse' Caeneus page, the official manual and more. Perhaps in time it can hold strategy articles and newbie guides as well.

But there's almost nothing there!
The pages that have been filled out so far are mostly done by myself or some of the few people who have been let in a bit early to help out. This information is meant to be a seed from which the site can grow and flourish. You can help PAWiki by editing a page you find lacking or starting a new page.

Do I have to register?
Some actions require registering, but the most important one (editing a page) doesn't. Just be aware that your IP address will show up instead of your username if you aren't logged in when you edit a page.

Got IRC?
We (well, just me mostly these days) idle in #pawiki on netgamers. If you have any questions here would be a good place to ask them.

There's nothing about Round 13 there!
Better add something then!

What does this have to do with AD?
As you can see there's a seperate category about alliances. Some of the pages there are more complete than others. It is my hope that you, the readers and posters of AD, can help fill out this category. Hopefully we can create a detailed resource about alliances, large and small, old and new, that we can use for reference.

Good work jester. Nice to see some people are still willing to put in effort into the community.

Blixxard · 31 Dec 2004, 16:20

Great work!

Hopefully it will be a wealth of information; for new and old players. The great thing is anyone can add a page.

The Real Arfy · 31 Dec 2004, 16:37

That is awesome. Nice work, I'll add some stuff about my alliance when I am in less of a party-mood

Rabbagast · 31 Dec 2004, 17:10

wow a real PAWiki :xmasgrin:

I think it's a great idea and cool that someone takes the effort of gathering all the history and stuff about Planetarion.
Since Scouse stopped the work on his page, noone has really bothered gathering the facts and stories about planetarion. Atleast not in a major fashion to my knowledge atleast.

I like it !

It even keeps a People category :xmas:
Now all the bigshots will be remembered throughout all of history!

Can I publish my book there ?
I've been meaning to finish my pautobipgraphy

and the true story why Wolfpack is the best alliance of all times :crazyxmas:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Everyone !!

Rabba

P.S I'll be playing the next round aswell
(my 13th + some half ones

"Edititing...
oh btw!
I need more lines for my siggie :eek:
I finally have a galaxy to add that actually won something!"

In other news, aside from thanking everyone who's contributed so far, I've spruced up the todo page a bit so that people who have a good idea for something that should be added, but either don't know how or don't have the time or inclination to contribute directly can add it to the requests area and hope someone who does, will.

Rocklobster[Dok] · 2 Jan 2005, 17:39

Edit the Virus article to include the text [[Category:Alliances]].

Androme · 3 Jan 2005, 16:17

I can add bits on BlueTuba, The Federation, WPO but my memory is quite hazy I'm afraid although I remember all alliances being good

I remember Pat & lokken firing me :|

Although I'm not updating recent rounds, I haven't actually stopped updating rounds 1 - 9.5. I just don't get sent anything anymore. But you're right in that I haven't done anything post 9.5, but the reasons for that are stated on the index page.

now only should current alliances and alliances which are gone (and some of their former hcs or so) just start to add their info to make it working...

wiki... sticky?

TheRat · 9 Jan 2005, 01:05

It was, but jessie asked to have it un-stickied.

ComradeRob · 19 Jan 2005, 14:40

I'm going to have to fire up the PA-related brain cells and try to post some of the many useless facts that still occupy space in my brain

The intricacies of r6 politics will make for some fun articles, that's for sure
