A lot of people here probably already know about it, but for anyone who doesn't, https://setlist.fm is seriously one of the coolest websites ever. Plug in any artist, their most recent shows and setlists pop up- it's a wiki and it's all user edited. It's just an incredibly useful resource and research tool I use all the time alongside https://discogs.com and https://metal-archives.com.

OpenProject.orgAwhile ago, I announced a plan to convert Pandora's Tale Wiki from MediaWiki to git. The main reasons are
1) In an era of increasing censorship, a wiki about queerness and fighting fascism should be available in a format that is easy to edit offline.
2) I think it will be easier to maintain.
Today, I have taken the first public step in that process. You can see a git-ified version of the wiki here:
https://git.average.name/1something/PTW
Hosting is provided by @avghelper@fosstodon.org : That's right, a Helper is hosting the wiki about Helpers. She might, or might not, provide our permanent home.
Two things need to happen before I can declare this version of PTW the "main" one. First, I need to verify that this format is actually easier to maintain. That means waiting for @comicsbyxan@transfem.social to release a new chapter so I can see how hard it is to update.
Second, (almost?) every page currently has formatting errors due to the conversion. I need to fix all of them.
Until I complete both of those steps, the MediaWiki version will remain at https://pandorastale.wiki .

Average Codestuff@homlett We've been working enthusiastically on the basis of a sharing culture since the 2000s, when #blogs and #wikis became a thing. Then #socialnetworks emerged.
That basic assumption doesn't work anymore. The social aspect of the #internet is being exploited for various purposes.
What was once a grassroots initiative is now being used against us. It is our own content that is being sold back to us in the form of #ai services.
But if we stop sharing, it'll just cause more problems.
Apropos* Wikis. Mir fällt gerade (wieder) ein, wie geil ich das "The GitLab Handbook" (https://handbook.gitlab.com) finde.
Das ist kein Handbuch zum Produkt, sondern "The handbook was our way of ensuring that all of our company information was accessible to everyone regardless of when they became part of the team." (About the Handbook)
Ich mag auch das How we use the guide every day sehr: https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/about/handbook-usage/#how-we-use-the-guide-every-day

Today, I am announcing plans for the biggest change to Pandora's Tale Wiki since its founding: I am going to port the wiki away from MediaWiki and convert it to a git repository of text files. This conversion process may not be easy, but it is necessary. If we continue down the current path, I am going to burn out and will not be able to continue maintaining the wiki. I have described the reasons for the change in the article for Project: Texts About Pandora
https://pandorastale.wiki/wiki/Pandora%27s_Tale_Wiki:Texts_About_Pandora#Hosting_availability
(Yes, the name of the article is a pun on the pages "Texts from Pandora" and "Texts from Pandora 2".)
https://comicsbyxan.com/comic/texts-from-pandora/
https://comicsbyxan.com/comic/texts-from-pandora-2/
There are still some things I need to determine.
1) First and most significantly, I have to figure out how to convert a MediaWiki instance into a git repository. I've found several scripts which claim to do it, but they all seem to have significant drawbacks in addition to being unmaintained. I would greatly appreciate advice from computer creatures in this regard.
2) Then I have to decide on the text format: Plaintext, gemtext, or markdown? There are ups and downs to each of them, though I'm not as worried since I believe it might be possible to convert between them later.
3) Finally I have to decide on the hosting software and platform if I want anyone else to be able to read it. Gitlab, Forgejo, sourcehut, or something else?
Once I answer these questions, I am going to move Pandora's Tale Wiki to a git repository, and then I will ask Miraheze to shut down their copy of the wiki. I don't know how long this process will take, but I believe it's the only way I can continue the wiki.

When I created Pandora's Tale Wiki in September 2022,…
Pandora's Tale WikiMy thought process:
1) I have a list of wikis about webcomics.
2)I should do weird internet searches to find more wikis for the list!
3)My searches turn up some interesting sites, some of which might be eligible for the list.
4)Ugh eww gross, the search also turned up a really horrible wiki.
5)Lemme go back to my fediverse account to report this wiki for possible defera---
6)Wait, hold on, MediaWiki isn't federated. There's no need to fediblock a wiki. I'll just try to forget I saw it.

Is the Syria-Jordan border straight or wiggly? An @openstreetmap user reckons the latter and that has propagated through to many media that use OSM.

Wiktionary is a wiki, which means anyone can edit this page.

But if you edit the definition to say
A website that cannot be edited ever under any circumstances
Then the page, and the entire site, will immediately lock up, since wikis will cease to be editable!(Note: Please do not actually make such an edit. That would be vandalism.) #Wiktionary #Wikis

Some background on the current poll:
In the Order of the Stick fan community, polls about the readers' favorite characters have commonly included one book-exclusive character (Right-Eye) who is very popular. After reading the print volumes of Rain, I thought it might be nice to include a book-only character in the next Rain Character Tournament. The problem is that there are very few book-exclusive characters in Rain, and most of them barely made an impression on me. Only one was truly memorable, and I'd expect if I put her in a "favorite character" tournament, she'd get approximately zero votes.
But that character really kept rattling around in my head, so I decided to make a poll where she is a serious contender.
