So we've started a new post-apocalyptic wiki as an experiment to see if the idea takes hold. It's currently hosted on Wikia.com and can be accessed from a ton of different addresses (see below) but the easiest to remember is PA.Wikia.com. There's basically zero content there so far, so I'm looking for suggestions about what to add. And of course since it's a wiki, anyone is free to go over there and add anything on their own also. I'm thinking there's no need to replicate existing post-apocalyptic content on other pages or wikis. So one of the first pages I'm going to create is a list of external sources. So that page will have links to Wikipedia pages on lists of post-apocalyptic fiction, nuclear warfare, survivalism, etc. Here are some others I'm thinking of. Let me know if you agree. - List of PA blogs and/or sites specializing in PA content
- Collection of PA wallpapers or other art
- Collection of freely available civil defense and survival manuals
- List of PA games
- etc
Does that kind of thing jive with what everyone was thinking? And if anyone knows a way to import Wikipeida content and convert the internal article links to interwiki links back to Wikipedia, I'd love to hear it. ps If you're curious, all of these URLs should point to the wiki. wiki.postapocalyptic.infowiki.post-apocalyptic.infopost-apocalyptic.wikia.compostapocalyptic.wikia.compa.wikia.com

I don't have great ideas now, but I agree with yours.

That's great, thanks for setting it up!
I've built a couple of business wikis in the past, and the two aspects that count are content and structure.
- Content: Should be defined by scope (what exactly do we expect there?) Generally the more content the better.
- Structure: The most important thing is the table of contents on the homepage. I'll try to suggest one [edit]I've added one, divided into PA fiction and PA reality[/edit].
A good rule for wiki editing is: Be bold, just add and change. For big overhauls, use the discussion page.
Happy editing, everyone!

I have a wikia account, but I need to have it turned off because I am having issues with some people. I will sign up again under this name though and try to help.
