pbemguy Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 News: Jason has decided that herogames.com cannot host the wiki on-site. I understand this, because there are security risks and headaches involved with adding a wiki component to the forums. But I wanted to ask him first because I didn't want to drive traffic away from this site. I honestly think the off-site wiki will still drive traffic to here, herogames.com, and that is partly my objective. And I/we will direct people back here as much as possible on the other site. Vote time: I set August 1, 2020 as the wiki launch, and that's still easily within our grasp. My question is: which site? Please vote! 1) fandom.com 2) worldanvil.com I personally prefer fandom.com, because I love how they did the Forgotten Realms wiki, which has been my inspiration/model for this project. Please check out the Forgotten Realms wiki to see what I mean. Note how they have links for different versions of characters--we could do that with our 6e/5e/4e etc. conversions. Link: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Tarrasque NOTE: The project is that we are building a complete Champions campaign wiki, including character write-ups, etc. It is in 6e, but conversions into other editions are not only welcome but also necessary!

Greywind Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Suggestion: for the character pages, see about setting them up as an organizational file. UNTIL or whatever, using official logos and whatnot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjack Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 I use the Fandom.com site regularly. Their Marvel, DC, ST: Memory Alpha, and Wookiepedia are all run efficiently from what I can tell. pbemguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 I read the Fandom site from time to time. I've never tried to manipulate the wiki. Not familiar with worldanvil at all. I'd like something which is very intuitive to use and something that will allow cut-and-paste from various sources without extensive reformatting. (When I go to the mountains and have no internet connection, for example, I'd like to be able to move whatever I wrote into the wiki with a minimum of fuss and bother.)

pbemguy Posted July 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 To be fair, worldanvil.com won an Ennie in 2019 for "Best Digital Aid". It says so right on their main page: http://www.worldanvil.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbemguy Posted July 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Okay, going with the fandom one.

CptPatriot Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 You will need to ensure that any number of contributors can join in to help and you won't be able to do that with Anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptPatriot Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 One more point, are we allowed to use Champions in our name for the wiki? It is possible it might be a point of contention with Cryptic and Perfect World since they use the Champions name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
