I am excited to announce that I have just finished deploying a new wiki service tied to lemmy.dbzer0.com.

https://wiki.dbzer0.com (Ignore the certificate errors for now, it some leftovers from the downtime yesterday. Will be fixed soon)

The most cool part of this setup, is that while anyone can read, only users who have an account in lemmy.dbzer0.com can edit. This should nicely prevent spammers from causing issues, and can help us tie edits to accounts here. if your account gets banned in lemmy.dbzer0.com, you also lose access to edit the wiki as well!

To manage that, you simply need to register an account on the wiki, then write that account on your bio here. The frontpage of the wiki provides the relevant instructions.

So if you needed a place to add official pages about your community with info, now you have the place!

Awesome! This is turning out to be a really nice space.

I noticed the downtime, what happened?

Some bug in the lemmy integrations

I see that the current two articles are about ~~to~~ two communities. What's the mission of this wiki? As a historical record of communities? Or is there more to what you'd like to see here?

Honestly, I'm leaving this up to the community. I want to see what emergent uses y'all can come up with. I expect community mods might make the first use of it

It isn't opening, is it down?

you just have to bypass the cert via advanced. I'll fix this soon

Could we possibly make it so that the Wiki username is a separate field in account settings as opposed to putting it in the Bio? Since there's a limited amount characters in the Bio and needing to have that there as opposed to an extra account setting (which would simply be ignored by other instances) can be inconvenient for users with longer bio descriptions.

Unfortunately that idea requires modifying the lemmy code which I can't do and it's unlikely they would add that option just for me.
