  • Which wiki software to host

    Jump

  • Otter's almost there. It needs a few things before I'd call it a wiki rather than just a documentation system, namely backlinks and a way to differentiate between links to existing and nonexisting pages, as well as a way to see what nonexisting pages are most wanted.

  • I'm currently migrating my worldbuilding and conlanging project to Dokuwiki. Right now I have an Obsidian vault used for brainstorming and drafting and a public Mediawiki for stuff I feel is worth showing off. Like Obsidian, DW stores everything as plaintext (it's not markdown but it's readable and the tables are better IMO). Like Mediawiki, DW keeps a version history so I can keep track of how my ideas evolve over time, which is crucial for conlang documentation. I keep tons of example texts that may reflect earlier phases of the grammar and vocab that I may need to reference. Unlike both Obsidian and MW, Dokuwiki has access control, so I can keep a private namespace for drafts and a public namespace for stuff I think is polished enough to show.

    I'm not sure DW meet's OP's requirements for "out of the box" functionality though. I think it's intended to be rather bare bones but be very easy to extend with plugins. The plugin browser is built in, so customization is a breeze. Plugins can be individually installed, enabled, disabled, and updated through the admin GUI.

  • Bookstack comes up a lot when “easy to use” is mentioned. It has a WYSYWIG editor by default and has a fairly simple install using a shell script on their docs website. Problems I have with it are it’s not really a wiki. You can’t link to nonexistent pages or see what other pages link to the current page. It’s more of a documentation system.

    But I’ve seen it out in the wild being used for your use case (Tunic game wiki)

  • No, mckids is a NES game. I played it when I was little and remember enjoying it. It had a gravity mechanic that was unique. AVGN did an episode on it.

  • Hobbies. I got into ham radio for this very reason. It’s also adjacent to my job (IT), and it’s one of the quintessential “hobby hobbies” like stamp collecting and model trains.

  • When I think of vanity plates I think of the guy who registered his as "NULL" in the hopes that he could avoid traffic tickets by looking like a database error. But he ended up showing up every time anyone's plate number was missing, so it showed him as having thousands of traffic violations.

  • That was the first thing that came to my mind, I saw all sorts of interesting stuff on our summer family trips.

  • Is that sort of thing relevant? I take the bus all the time and have never felt in danger (except for one time when the driver went off on another bus driver, but I just noped off the bus before it could escalate). Yes there are interesting characters, but if public transit were more common perhaps the crazies would become less predominant.

    Around here there is a whole police department dedicated to monitoring public transit.

  • I think the ray tracing drew a lot of people in. It certainly did me. I think it also rides on its reputation as a big-budget spiritual adaptation of the SCP Foundation.

  • Never played this game but I'm aware the same devs are involved with Pokopia in some way. Makes me worried.

    It's like they saw Minecraft's complete and utter lack of direction and decided to overcorrect.

  • Any pokemon game after gen 2.

    I started in 1999 with red. It was a childhood-defining experience. I spent all summer with my nose in that game boy. Keep in mind I had to use a loupe mounted in a glasses frame and had to hold the screen an inch from my eye, so the ergonomics weren't ideal, but the experience was compelling enough for me to bear through it. Then I got gold in the summer of 2001, I think, and was blown away. It was an upgrade in every way. I personally think the series peaked with gen 2. To be absolutely clear I am not a "gen-wunner" or whatever the word is. I just think the combination of the game itself and the zeitgeist it created for those first few years came together to make something unrepeatable.

    Gold and Silver came out while Pokemon was still everywhere, but by the time gen 3 released, the craze had ebbed. Yes it was still popular but it was no longer in everyone's mouth. I was also in the latter half of high school, and most of my friends were no longer into it. I bought the game, so it's not like I thought I was too old, but it just didn't feel the same. They removed the day-night cycle and the calendar functionality. It felt like a downgrade.

    I've tried several times since to rekindle that feeling I got in 1999. The closest was with Pokemon Go in 2016. For a few weeks it felt like the late 90s again,, with everyone and their dog talking about Pokemon. I actually beat Pokemon Let's Go, but I think the nostalgia is what kept me going. Tried with the first Legends game and just couldn't stay interested. Ditto with Brilliant Diamond.

    There has to be a word for not wanting something but wanting to want it. That's how I feel. (Of course the nice thing about being a conlanger is I can make the word myself 😁)

    sdC CB

    a serial verb construction consisting of the verbs sdC (to pine for/yearn for/be nostalgic for) and CB (to want). Perhaps "to miss wanting" is a close translation. 

     
        
sdC CB qGr qGrbfrp
0     sdC-0   CB-0   qGr-0  qGrbfr-p
[1sg] yearn-A want-A play-A video_game-3D
I miss wanting to play that video game.

1sg = 1st person singular (0 means it's dropped)
-A = authoritative verbal mood (-0 means a null morpheme that isn't pronounced)
-3D = 3rd person distal noun suffix ('that video game')

  • UPDATE:

    I see Bookstack mentioned a lot, so I decided to try installing it. I took the better part of a day and I still can't get it working. Pity since it looks a lot nicer than Dokuwiki and has access control unlike Mediawiki.
