 		[STARS] Game wiki
Back in the original Lawson/Stars thread, I mentioned I'd set a wiki up at redct.info/gswiki . There was talk of filling it out, organization, etc. I didn't want to crowd the original thread, so here's a new thread for the wiki Smile

Wiki here: http://www.redct.info/gswiki/

 		1. Nice you started a wiki - what game is this for? I haven't seen [STARS] as a designation yet.
2. Please post this information in the current game thread. We don't start new threads for existing games in the News & Rumors forum.
3. If you find that you have double posted, it is recommended you delete your duplicate post.
Thank you.

 		The game is Prophecy of the Stars (or Gabriel Lawson). Since there haven't been any other threads about the new merged game, I used [Stars] as the designation.

I would've deleted the duplicate, but my internet connection seems to go out every few hours here. Sorry Sad

 		Entries by character?

A chronological timeline?

Where would you put a general overview?

This is kind of what I struggle with. I can't really think of one way that makes sense, keeps things in order, and is a simple enough system that anyone could follow it to make new entries.

First, I would mimic thebruce's Iris Wiki.

Summary= Brief overview
Story so far= Timeline with links to particular pages. Example- Colby has his first Dream.
Websites/Contacts= Links to sites and character contacts. This seems very important as most of the action has been through blogs, IMs, and emails. Characters= Brief descriptions of each (can include contact info as well).
Theories= Any reasonable [Spec] that takes into account the things that we know, at this time, and addresses issues that "don't fit" instead of ignoring them. Don't argue that Angelica pushed Gabriel's mom down the stairs. Ms. (?) Lawson clearly said "He did it".

 		This sounds like a good plan. Unless there are any objections/modifications, I'll put this up later in the afternoon. (I just got home, and it's 3 AM here. Need sleep... Sad

 		Well, the wiki (at least the front page) is all nice and formatted with the correct links. The main page is an almost copy of thebruce's IRIS wiki (sorry!) but I think everything is there.

Now, we need a logo and some content...

 		hehe *peeks in*

and just quick note, it's not really 'my' format in the sense of content - those are just generally accepted pages for ARG organization... but layout, well just make sure you don't make your wiki's code too difficult for people to edit/understand... I try to avoid using html in the wiki code as much as possible, but move formatting to the template CSS page and files.
good work though Wink

 		Yeah, I should be doing that - but that was a 10 minute hack job Very Happy

I'll move the formatting over to css - it is much neater.

 		I'm starting to add more stuff to the articles (quite barebones right now) so it'd be nice if someone else could help Wink
