Forum:Tranquility Lane (the fan fiction wiki)

I have been very interested in the fan fiction version of this wiki, only I have had problems with the layout and everything related to that because of the changes that Wikia has made to the layout of wikis. I've been talking to some of the admins here and there about moving the fan fiction wiki, and they've seemed interested as long we can make sure there will be a community once we transfer over.

We have three possibilities for transferring the fan fiction wiki:
 * Curse
 * Wikkii- I run the community wiki there we can advertise the fanon wiki to help look for new members
 * Sturmkrieg- Not actually a wiki host, but I've been working on a website for fan fiction and player information wikis, and so it would be good to be able to expand into Fallout. It would also be a good way to "help the little guy."  Also, if we move the fallout wiki to Sturmkrieg, I'll make all the admins from the Vault and its old fanon wiki admins at the new wiki if they want; I'll let you all have full control.

We could also make an announcement on this wiki on the site notice about the new fanon wiki for a while to help get people to go to it.

 * Well, personally I'd feel uncomfortable with copying the fanon wiki's content unless its community actually wants to move. I know we're legally allowed to but it doesn't feel right (and even more so because it is a fanon wiki). If they want to move, I'm confident Ausir could get a fanon wiki set up at fanon.falloutwiki.com; if they don't want to, we could still set one up (if there's demand) but then I'd rather have it start from scratch and not "steal" other people's content. Just my 2 cents. -- Porter21 (talk) 16:42, 2 May 2012 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't suggest copying (and I don't think it would be necessary) since it is a creative writing wiki. I think it would be a decision more for each contributor there, whether they want to bring their own fluff to the new wiki. I would be willing to run the fanon wiki in the beginning here if it's hosted at Curse, though we might have existing admins who would be willing to take over the job; I understand that lack of support can be a serious issue in the beginning.

 * I might set it up and wait for people to come to it, and appoint admins as soon as regulars start to show up who can watch it. It will be slow in the beginning, but it will be a lot easier than trying to round up people who say they'll join as soon as it's setup.    Does setting up a wiki here have do be done by the staff?

 * Maybe, not sure about that. I'm pretty sure it does though. Just ask Ausir to do it. And secondly, if you can wait until after 12th June, then I'll be able to help you, unless you are really itching to set it up. -- GOTW '''User 10:22, 18 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Is he one of the staff here? I am sort of itching, though I can wait to do most of the heavy work when you can help out.  I'll probably put in the request now and that way I can start immediately on working to get a community.  We can work on the setup together.  Thanks.

 * Yeah, he's the founder and he works here. And that sounds fine to me, but you'd do well to ask for some help from Porter with the set up because he'll be able to set it up in a similar manner to here, so that the two wikis are visually linked as well as theoretically. -- GOTW '''User 18:02, 18 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks. I contacted both of them.  Sternkreuz.png Inquisitor Sasha Ehrenstein aus dem Sturmkrieg Sector (Contributions) (Edit Count) 20:13, 18 May 2012 (UTC)


 * It seems that Ausir will be setting it up here after the seventh. Is there anyone who is interested in joining it? Sternkreuz.png Inquisitor Sasha Ehrenstein aus dem Sturmkrieg Sector (Contributions) (Edit Count) Contact: CW - SK (de) - MW.org 22:36, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

I'll help out, but I wouldn't have anything to write. You have to wait till the 12th though... -- GOTW '''User 14:32, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

We're finally set up now, if anyone wants to start contributing soon. Инкуиситор Саша Ехренстеин аус дөм Стурмкриг Сектор (Contributions) (Edit Count) Contact: CW - SK (de) - MW.org 00:42, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
