Doubt it. I could ask Nayolfa just in case, but I am at least 95% that he won't even be mentioned.

Okay, I wonder how we should approach building the Entersphere wiki. I'm trying to figure out how to put a logo in the upper-left corner, a background and a decent color scheme.

We shouldn't copy-pasta from the other Enter wiki, right?

What's the copyright of the other wiki? There's no shame in copying a public domain wiki and improving on it.

The old Mr. Enter wiki is under the GNU Free Documentation License 1.3 while the Entersphere is public-domain. I will have to read up on that.

That's likely because it was plagiarized from the retard MysteriousMrEnter Wikia.

So, Stancakes is an Enterbot now. What should we do then?

Simple: Un-admin him.

I know I'd stay silent about this Stancakes matter, but Stancakes isn't an Enterbot. I mean he commented on Epic-Lar's deviations but he's obviously joking. Also his Entersphere posts were dumb but not "Enterbot-ish". Research before accusation, people!

(but yeah I wish he'd stop posting on Entersphere)

Where have you been? It was revealed recently that he switched sides after the Entersphere Forums basically died. Don't get pissy.

 

[Simplicity111]

I don't know what the fuck I was thinking when I made those posts. Let's get back to wiki talk.

Should we add anything to indicate that this is the new, better wiki to newcomers?

Add to the front page "This is the new, better wiki."

To answer this, and save you about a billion hours, the GNU 1.3 basically means "you can copy this, provided the licensing is kept intact," or in other words: you can probably take a lot of the content off the old wiki.

Someone tell me how to cite.

Someone tell me how to cite.

<ref></ref>

for standard citation,

<ref="name of citation"></ref>

for special citations which need to be used more than once.

We still need an article length guideline

Generally I'd say after you hit about 25,000 bytes on an article, it's time to start splitting pieces off that would stand alone quite well.

 

[Simplicity111]

Wikipedia actually says it's 50,000 or more in thier guidelines sheet. That's pretty damn long not to split off.

Wikipedia is also a totally different, in-depth site with a totally different scope and purpose.

Yeah, this. Wiki has to have pretty big articles between details and sources. A wiki like Entersphere doesn't, and most people probably wouldn't read 50,000 bytes detailing the Life and Times of Mr. Enter anyways.
