Announcement Wikithreads setup finished (1 Viewer)

[Matt Derrick]

Hey folks, this announcement is to let everyone know that the wikithreads system is now up and functioning. I'm taking a page from Reddit and sticking a thread to the top of the list of almost every forum section where users can all edit/add information related to that subject. This will give users a space to compile the most relevant and interesting threads from StP and elsewhere on the internet in one spot:

You can find a directory of all wikithreads from all forum areas here:

Squat the Planet Wiki

A compendium of useful information of use to wanderers of the traveler underground.

squattheplanet.com

On each wikithread, you can add or edit information by clicking the big green edit button:

So, hopefully, this will make it easier for people to find useful information in a somewhat more static listing than what forum threads can provide.

I could REALLY use a lot of help adding and updating the information on these pages, so if you have some time, please add anything you think might be useful (especially links to good StP threads that might be getting buried under other discussions!).

As always, feeback is appreciated!

I noticed that after a thread is edited, it simply says, "last edited by a moderator." Was this intentional? If so, please feel free to disregard!

yeah that's the default phrasing. it's because the forum system wasn't designed to do wiki-style content and i'm basically jerry-rigging it to do so. i'm hoping that a decent wiki addon will be released for xenforo eventually.

that said, we (admins/mods) still have the ability to see who made what edits where and when, so thankfully it's not that big of a deal.

Thank you for the clarification, sounds good to me! And you answered my next question ahead of time (would've been "is there any concern for accountability?" but since mods can see, no issues there).

In any case, looks good so far and I'm glad to have the system in place! =)
