The Fallen Chronicle Wiki
Hi! I don't know whether this has been proposed yet, but I think a Wiki for this server would be of high benefit. As a place we cn locally store all RP lore and divide them into categories, it would allow us to provide a more in depth collection of resources besides a simple unorganized thread. As a top ranking member of a popular WoW RP wiki myself, I would happily look into creating such a wiki should the popular approval be sufficient.
What are the benefits?
Firstly, lore would be easier to access! That's always handy isn't it? Additionally -you- can have your own pages! Whether on your fanon, or even on your character. For instance, I could have an article on my character Alice, with her history, description etc. and in the history, I could have a link to her city of birth, which brings you to a page of that city (as a normal wiki would of course!). This would also help stimulate RP growth as we can properly develop our fanon into articles available for all.
Who would manage it?
Ideally admins would be an excellent choice to manage this, but given I'm an inconsiderate ass, I haven't approached them about it, so whoever is interested I suppose!
Is there a limit on what we can create or how?
Realistically, no! So long as you abide by server rules and wikia conventions then you should be free to create as much fanon as you like.
I will update everyone further should this progress.

I like idea too; mostly because of the fact that it would work well with an idea I was planning in suggesting: A Hall of the Dead. We've already had quite a few characters PK'd, and I feel for the sake of island lore that they should be listed and remembered. Have their bio's that were made in the initial whitelist app get archived there too. But alongside that, a "new character" page that lists new characters who have been made to replace dead ones. That way we can see the new bio and character description of that new character. I give the example of the wikia Roleplaying Characters page from the wikia of another Minecraft server I play on: the-official-lotrmod-server-player.wikia.com/wiki/Roleplay_Characters

Hi all, just an update that I've began creating the wiki, but before it's officially launched, I will need to speak to xDK first for the whole permissions and so on. Thank you for your ongoing support, let's make this a reality!

Thank you for your ongoing support, let's make this a reality! What builder are you using? I reccomend Wikia as it's super easy to use, and I believe its free.

Hm.. A wiki sounds like a good idea, how do you propose that it will work?

It will be run by the community and will basically just be our lore and fanon repository. I would like to speak about certain details regarding it in private if you had a moment to spare.
