This past month, the staff team has been hard at work on a large project in order to do several things: consolidate pieces of our lore into an organized body, make it more accessible, and easier to produce future lore. The easiest way to do this I believe was to create a wiki for GC, so I went shopping around for some. Gamepedia or whatever is shit. Mediawiki is shit. I only found a good one in a js based wiki, and what's even better is that i had it hosted on our own servers - meaning its a part of the website, so we have a lot of control over it. No ads, clean UI, the good shit. Only shitty part about it is that the visual editor kind of sucks; if you can, I recommend using the HTML editor for basically everything. So after a long process we've transferred all of our lore on the forums to the new wiki format, and more; in the process, we wrote a significant amount of new lore that we couldn't put on the forums before just because of how cluttered it'd be. With a wiki however, since we can organize things into their own pages, we can put as much as we want. Lore on GC has always been a collaborative effort between everybody; between character backstories, faction lore, and more, all intertwined. With the wiki, we can now have a cohesive body to base our collaborative storytelling together; one that is easy to write on, easy to read, and easy to navigate. The wiki also allows us to do unique in-character activities that could not be done before, all of which is able to be posted by players (yes, you!) provided they register to the wiki (you can do so using discord). This includes IC Nexicon (wikipedia) pages that people can write to include IC lore, pages where people can make Hooter profiles, and a section where people can publish entire Nexus sites on the wiki instead of the forums if they want a more permanent space for them. In addition, certain players can ask for a 'Trusted' role that allows them to create pages on the official codex, so they can do things like transfer or write lore for custom species or other lore, or their factions. To get this role, please ask a staff member, and follow posting guidelines for the wiki.
