AccringtonWiki

Right i've seen this done before on a gaming forum and it was quite sucessfull so I decided i'd set up a wiki for Accrington much like there is wikipedia for general stuff.

The idea is that everyone contributes, makes new pages, edits other pages to make them better, etc. It can be about a user on here e.g. you might want to make a page called Cyfr describing what an annoying tory I am, or perhaps a page about AccringtonWeb, the history, how it started, when it started.

It dosn't even have to be about AccringtonWeb! You could write about absolutly anything to do with Accrington.

Hopefully if it takes off it will be a good interesting resource (and something else to steal your life away)

Theres help on the site for how to use it, all you need is to sign up and get start posting, you'll figure your way around it!

ps. You can even edit the main page to make it look better. I could use somebody whos good at photoshop to make a little logo to replace the current one too.

Well i've set one of these up before, it should be working, and providing people use it I shall keep it up.

I am more worried about what is going to end on about me.

(I'll come back and have another look at this. It seems like a great idea. I just hope people don't use it to be offensive about someone they disagree with about something on here.)

Hopefully this won't happen as anybody can re-edit things to remove offensive bits, however this means that somebody could deface something, but older versions are still kept and can be reverted back to.

If it becomes a problem from say a certain user, it can be blocked, but im sure the community will be able to keep it under control much like they do here.

40 Views and nobodys wrote a wiki page yet! Whats up with you all I thought you'd be dieing to write AccringtonWeb history, funny momements, and user profiles!
