    General Civ 4 Wiki

    I know there was a wiki previously at civ4.wikia.com but it's been down for a while AFAIK. I'm an avid civ4 player although I've only really visited here without posting [Edit: Wow, I registered here more than 3 years ago and this is my first post], I occasionally post at civfanatics though.

    I've been wondering if there would be interest in setting up a new wiki, hosted by wikia.com in order to have more reliability then the previous attempt. If people would be interested in helping to add useful information for civ 4, especially including modding documentation then that would help get this off the ground.

    I've worked on several very large wikis and have a knack for organizing large amounts of information in mediawiki wikis and so I'm sure this will work out as long as there are some other good contributors.

    I put up the request for the wiki below (at the requests wikia), and if you are interested it would help if you posted stating that you'll work on it and you think it's a good idea:

    Civ4
    http://requests.wikia.com/index.php?title=Civ4


    I have put up a categorization scheme there in order to keep things organized, if you could comment, that would be good too. Thanks

      Good idea, as long as Apolyton and the posters here get a fair mention...

          I think the idea is for some of Apolyton's posters to do the mentioning

              Fair mention? Well it's a wiki so what'll be there will depend on who helps add to it. If everyond who works on it comes from civfanatics then inevitably it'll have more references and links to civfanatics, such is the nature of wikis. But the point is to have as much stuff actually on there. But of course I intend to link to both this site and civfanatics from a links page, and maybe the sites will both link back to there at some point.

              Realistically, I just want to get people to help out with it, hopefully the combined and organized knowledge will give me the info I need to make a mod .

              And thanks Supr49er

                  I hope the people here would help put down all that in the wiki.

                  Besides, I made a thread over there 6 hours ago, and no one said anything yet.

                    Those CFCers... lazy bums, the lot.

                    Congrats on having your first post btw... I started only eight months before you and am well over 10,000 posts, so you have a ways to catch up ...

                      Damm demographics keep running things I like.
                      Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
                      The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
                      The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila

                        This is the thing. I started here 4 months before you (we even played our first PBEM together) and you still have about double my amount of posts.
                        You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

                            Well, my request for a civ4 specific wiki was denied. So I'm going to work on fixing up the general civilization wiki in the way I had planned. I'll see if I can get something that is prepared for people to easily add things by the end of the night.
