Title: The Planetary Datalinks
Post by: testdummy653 on February 19, 2013, 01:16:58 AM

When the wiki is ready will The Planetary Datalinks disappear? It seems a little redundant.

That's one of sisko's projects - it'll be up to him.

I'll encourage several projects, including the planetary datalinks, to be merged into the wiki, and mirror as much as possible of those which prefer not to merge. Whether the wiki or original homes become the primary updated versions will be up to those who started the projects, in this case sisko.

Advantages of on-wiki planetary datalinks:
Easier to link to (on wiki because [[]], on forums because we can get a custom tag which links to the wiki like [w]AAR[/w])
Allows collaborative editing so entries can be improved
Easier to link to other useful pages from a wiki page
Better categorization system
Gets people editing the wiki
Generally: Forums are designed for discussion, wikis are designed for storing information in a useful/accessible way.

Disadvantages:
No EC incentive (unless we figure out some way to reward wiki editors!)
