Talk:City of Heroes and Villains Wiki Main Page

Hello if we could get started, adding info about game events and backstory, it would be very helpfull.

This is already being done by Paragon Wiki. Blade 21:05, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps the people there might want to move their content here (I could help with a database import if necessary) so they'd have the benefit of being part of a larger Wikia community, where they could have single login to over 1000 wikis. If not, there's no harm in some people choosing to create a new wiki here if they'd rather be on Wikia's software than the default MediaWiki code used at that other site.

Paragon Wiki Info

Hi all, I'm the administrator and one of the editors of the Paragon Wiki. I have two reasons for not moving the Paragon Wiki over to Wikia: 1) Wikia is supported by advertising, something that I'm trying very hard to avoid, and 2) by hosting it on my own site, I have total administrative control over it to add custom features (such as the Hero theme it uses), extensions, etc.

All of the information there, though, is covered by the Free Doc license, so feel free to copy and paste anything there to here or upload any pictures from there to here. If anyone wants a database dump, I can arrange that, too. Though I don't want maintain both sites, I'd be willing to arrange a one-time transfer of the info if anyone thinks that having the site on Wikia would be better. I've got to warn you, though, it's very large, even compressed, and especially if the images are included as well.

I try to be a very active admin, too. In spite of the large amount of spam I get (thank god for a great spam filter), I publish my e-mail address publicly (tonyv@pcfreepress.com). I keep MediaWiki updated (the upgrade to 1.9.1 took place just a couple of weeks ago), and there are very active forums to go along with the Paragon Wiki for detailed discussion that isn't conducive to the Talk pages format.

If you have any questions or suggestions, by all means, feel free to e-mail me at tonyv@pcfreepress.com or post a message on the forums. Hope this helps!
