Not that I'll ever get around to it, but how do you start a Wiki?

Here's a good place to do free wiki's:

http://www.wikicities.com

They run off of mediawiki and all that jazz.

You might do what Kef did, and join WikiCities. They provide free wikis, based on MediaWiki, no less.

The other way is a bit harder. By which I mean a lot harder.

On that note, myself and Ikipapa are starting a Sonic the Hedgehog wiki, where we also hope to...host rotating avatars. I'm pretty sure wikis host Php, right?

Um, you've got it backwards many wikis run on PHP, not the other way around.

If you're using a free wiki provider, don't bet on being able to upload any custom PHP scripts.

Ya, we kinda thought that was a longshot.
Well we are still gonna do the wiki, so we'll alert when we get it up.

No, seriously, less spam would be good. Say it with me: "If you don't have anything useful to add, don't say anything."

Is the domain free? I mean "wiki.---.org" or something like that?

You have to request a wiki on WikiCities? You can't just press a button to open a wiki? No wiki for me, then. Too impatient.

Post subject: 

I requested like an hour ago, and I still haven't got an email. So, I don't know...

It said it might take a week until your wiki opens. And THEY have to approve it.

Author:  iKipapa [ Fri Apr 22, 2005 7:36 pm ]
Post subject: 

Ack!! A WEEK!
I'm not that patient!!
Oh well.

It took me 1 or 2 days.

Post subject: 

It took me about a day to get my wiki approved. I left it the first day.

Hard work starting a wiki, even after you get it.

My wiki has been created:

http://rct.wikicities.com/wiki/Main_Page

I started it on Sunday, so it's mostly contentless. I hope you enjoy it either way. :mrgreen:

But we started one already, so it doesn't matter.
