The one time I looked at encyclopedia dramatica it was full of dick jokes and photoshopped dicks and there was a page called World Of Whorecraft and the page mocking the piss out of Naruto was funny sometimes.

exactly. The encyclopedia dramatica wiki is a prime example of what not to do.

Someone’s probably going to say “Every April 1st can we edit pages to make jokes about alcoholic teachers and severely inbred royalty and shitting dick nipples?” and the answer is hell no that’s goddamn stupid.
I don’t particularly think this is a bad idea, hell sometimes half the fun in playing a hack for some people is reading about it before hand. I know I’m like that.
I’d be happy to help where I can, but I also know I work weekly so I’d be slow. Even so, this is a good idea. I back it for sure.

This is a nice idea if practical, but expecting custom campaign creators to write up their own entries is unrealistic. Speaking personally, I’m not going to lift a finger, unless someone posts a secrets guide for Do5, which I will replace with goatse.jpg.
I love and promote the idea of custom campaign discussion and think there should be more of it, but I’m not sold that a fanwiki is the best place for it, particularly given how much work would need to go into it. Stats? Cromar-bot has those. Discussion? We have a forum for discussion right here. Reviews? They can go here, too, or onto Backloggd, which has more and more hacks now.
If you could snap your fingers and have this exist, sure, absolutely, it’d be great. And it might be worth trying anyway. But I’ve been part of a community of around a hundred active users that tried to set up a wiki before, and ultimately, the workload ground the vast majority of it down in the end, before a database error wiped it all anyway. It’s fine if someone wants it to exist but doesn’t want to sink hours into it – I’m sure as hell not willing to – but if nobody does, well, it probably isn’t happening, lol.

I have not seen the phrase “shitting dick nipples” in over 15 years and you have ruined this for me. I hope you’re happy, Jason.

Touché. My knowledge on website hosting ain’t gonna cut it unfortunately.
We could use something like the Github wiki. Or Gitgud or Gitlab. It would be a more convenient place for hosting game files and getting bug reports, too.
Look at that wiki. That is a nice wiki. I wish my game had a wiki that looked like that.
