MFZ Key Definitions.

[Zero Revenge]

This may sound dumb at first, but I propose we have a list of Setting-specific definitions. So, we dont have people saying Stargate, if it's a Transit Gate. Explanations for meanings behind Ijad, their belief. What TTM vs TTA vs UMFL vs TEM means, combat lingo, etc etc. (Story & Gameplay elements) Just a nice little collection.

So, I propose that we use this thread as a place for that. Now, I'd like to start adding things right away, but I had work 10 minutes ago. And can't dawdle any longer, I'll constantly update this first post with the definitions we have!

That's kind of what the wiki is for. Although I think being able to access all the setting-specific words, and knowing the appropriate terms, is important for fans to communicate with each other about the same things.

Could we get a wiki that wasn't on wikia? The way they load a million ads and clutter the screen with them is really annoying.

A self-owned and managed wiki would be the bomb diggs.

A self-owned wiki would indeed be very cool.

I have MediaWiki available for install at the Hangar.

Does that seem like a better base wiki?

Also, I'd rather not step on Tetrajak's toes if he wants to take charge of this.

I want to start off by saying that I am defiantly not trying to discourage any one.

My limited experience with MediaWiki was a pretty bad one. It was a hassle to just create pages and the wysiwyg editor was extremely limited. I think your average user will have a hard time contributing to MediaWiki.

I went with Wikia because it was free and the editor is pretty straight forward.

However, I understand the want for it to be in an ad free environment and support that. There are other free wiki software packages that we might want to look into.

Also, feel free to test bed MediaWiki because I might straight up be wrong.

While I would love to help contribute to the community in such a way, I currently don't have the free time to dedicate to running another website at the moment. So, feel free to go about running a wiki here at the Hangar, my toes wont be in the way.
