Chriswok Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Someone mentioned there should be a TEW Wiki, would there be a genuine interest in this? Would Adam allow it? Would people help contribute to it? I'm looking into and reading about how to start Wiki's up, and been looking at hosts this morning thinking hmm maybe. So, leave feedback here please. UPDATE: Wiki has been made, its still early days, but can be found here: [url]http://tew.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page[/url] EDIT: Can I ask everyone who makes a NEW page for the wiki please add Category to the bottom of it. Example: If you make a new Promotion entry, please add - [[Category:Promotion]] If you make a new Wrestler entry, please add - [[Category:Wrestler]] TEWiki currently serving you with 75 articles on the CornellVerse :D [B][U]HELP NEEDED[/U][/B]: Anyone who knows how to create infoboxes, please get in touch! I'm looking for something similar to the wikipedia's infoboxes that run on the top right hand of the articles for promotions and wrestlers. see: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wwe[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColtCabana Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 It would be a great idea and I don't see why Adam wouldn't allow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxxHexx Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 The problem is that their isn't more to the c-verse beyond bios and the few articles on the c-verse website. So their wouldn't be much on the wiki that the game doesn't tell us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHUK Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I've got some webspace with some blank wiki's on I was testing. They're quite easy to setup. If people are serious about editing I'd be willing to offer my webspace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you've got all the mods that people have coming out, they could be added to a mod section of the wiki, as could the various fan websites (ie Bobinc). History of the game how its evolved from EWR, to TEW05 - TEW07 - TEW08, etc I've sent a request away to the wiki people for a free wiki and hosting :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad5226 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I thinks this is a great idea. Im sure Adam wouldn't mind, it may bring in a few more people who had no idea this was out here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praguepride Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 As I mentioned before, I think the "Phase 3 of '08" part will really help fill in the background when Adam helps produce "official" '97 and '75 mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJoshRollins Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Not to mention, even though we don't have all the information, who is to say that we can't help make up the history? Adam is looking at making the two C-Verse mods official, which means he might be willing to allow us to make up even more of the history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if Adam comes out and says a different event happened instead, we change the canon. Right now it's Official Canon - Adam's Word D-Canon - The ideas that are used in Diaries and seem to be the official unofficial history. U-Canon - Just ideas that we have based on the actual history. It's just like Star Trek. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy J. Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I'd be interested and would happily write some WMMA entries as I played that game religioulsy since it came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathen4 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 This would be a great idea. It could be used to put in all the information that players ask for on a regular basis. Think that awesome Advice Compilation thread but on an easy to search Wiki. Sounds amazing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1PWfan Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 One thing that would be cool (and that I'd be quite willing to write, although it probably wouldn't be very good), is stuff about the realworld approach to certain feds. For instance, DaVE has a very wide fanbase, but rarely gets dynastied, whereas NYCW fans are small in number but big in voice (D-Mack, Sons oif Kohral, me, there's a few dynasties out there that have tackled the company.

Rathen4 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I am going to create pages for each region outlining their importance/affluence etc. Hope that's ok :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEWFan Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I would love to write for your wiki. I dont have a problem reading bios either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theaddicane Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 This is going to be sweet, gang, I'd love to help out. We should have a system for updating it though, give one guy the reigns and he can drop suggestions for what everyone should do. That way we can avoid any overlapping, and we can get it built up quickly. Anyway, if anyeone wants to tell me something to do I'm more then happy. It might be good if we could have some sort of page which gave real-life examples of the promotion and worker styles to flesh them out in peoples minds. For instance: Entertainer: Hulk Hogan, or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, * Information about the games, and how they've developed over the years * A bit about Adam Rylands/.400 Software/ GDS * Promotions * Workers * General History Will all be coming, and will all be done in a 'kayfabe' way similar to how the wrestling wiki has handled doing entries. So opinions will be left out of it. Any suggestions can be left in this thread, emailed/IM/PM to me, helpers are always welcome :D What I'll be looking for: Someone who wants to make a TEWiki Banner for the Main Page Contributers to help start to flesh out the Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rathen4 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 [url]http://tew.wikia.com/wiki/United_States_of_America[/url] I know it's not got the fancy little bar (I can't figure out how to put that in atm) but is this good enough for an index?

Chriswok Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 To get the info bar you need to use the wiki formatting, I suggest anyone who wants to help have quick read over that. But, basically, for every section you're going to write about you need to add it like this ==New England== ==Tri-State== Those would be your main headers, and then ==Tri-State== text here about the area ===NYCW=== Things with === === would be the sub header, and so on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
