Since the Wiki currently exploded, I have two options, which is purge the thing from my hard drive or reinstall it and start afresh.
Is their sufficient interest and drive to support a wiki, as their was questionable interest before, or is it better without one?
If you're willing to reboot the thing, I'd appreciate it a lot, I think Koz also mentioned wanting it back up but I can't say for sure (He's on his holiday now) Would be handy reading stuff about the others and working on some info about Mhok and all of that :)
Sadly the Information on their is lost to this world. So it would be a fresh start.
I guess it wouldnt pose a problem sice the guild is "kind of" startig afresh as well...or started. Old people left, new people came. I would say that if you have the time adn will to do it, it would be really appreciated.
Same here.
Well, I've no idea what goes in the Wiki, but I'd be interested in seeing it, so Im giving my support to rebooting it ;D
If another three Orcs show some interest in it, then I'll make the necessary changes.
I am interested in this, certainly. However I'm not certain how much I could contribute to it. Perhaps a lot, perhaps litte - it'll depend on the time I have.
But there is interest in this from my part too, yes.
If you need another to help out then i will as much as I can.
But it would be a learning curve for me.
Ok, I've reactivated the wiki link above.
I'll be working on it for a bit, (and removing viagra spam), but for now, feel free to let loose.
Godjob mate...Thankies
<tumbleweed>
Anyway, I've reconfigured robots.txt to prevent the wiki showing up on search engines. That nullifies the use of spam bots.
Really, you can add to it. ;)
Good show I suppose. Didn't even notice myself. Any chance we got the old templates lying around somewhere perchance? Looks a bit... bald.
If someone could give quick instructions or a tutorial on how to make my own page or an overview of what our wiki contains (Which the old Wiki did have, didn't it?) that'd be great... As I'm lost pressing all the buttons...
I tried this:
write
http://orcsoftheredblade.com/wiki/index.php/New_Page
in the browser, where New_Page is any name you want for your new page.
A page appears, which says:
There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title in other pages or edit this page.
Edit the page and save.
Just my two cents ;)

Getting there.
Content first, looks second. Template creation for Mediawiki is a pain in the arse. So once I see it get used, I'll happily put in the time to get it looking nice.
._.
I like Morsha.
I'll see what I can get to write about, I'm always unsure how to start... It might take an example or two :x

Done.
Will see if I can slap some old pages on there sometime then. See if I have some lying around.
Also, until I can find a way to reliably bridge the forum and wiki user database, you'll need to register in the wiki too, using the link in the top right.
Currently, unregistered users can alter anything they wish, but I'm sure as hell not planning to leave it like this, after the spamfest to old one became.
If you have nay questions, I'm happy to help.
As soon as I figure out how to create new categories...
Guess I got it. I always wondered though. Do we have any limits in terms of uploading pictures or whatnot? Does it cost (extra) money or so?

Not really. If we're serving over 100k people, then bandwidth starts to become a thinking point. Over 1 million, then I need to look at limiting picture size etc.
"File uploads are disabled on Orcs of the Red Blade."
Heresy. ;<
I've fixed the images, and thrown you up a guide on how to use images. There's a link on the main page, any questions, post 'em up.
Sexy stuff so far. Now just for more people to join in on the madness and a tasty skin to lick. >;3
Sorry, but im pretty new to all this wiki thingies... How the hell i can add page for Grockh there? Have no idea, really...
Easiest way to do it is just to do a search for the page you want to create (for example search "Grockh Burnblade" or whatever you want your page called) and click the "you can create this page" button.
If you need some sort of layout, feel free to have a peek at mine and click the "edit" button at the top of the screen. It'll give you the entire page in Wiki format, so if you want to copy something, like headers or the command to use images or the correct category, go ahead.
Morsha's on fire. o; Go Morsha!

Ye... When you see the computer taking a minute to show "my computer", and a certain partition has three recycle bins... you know you are living
The Day Before The Harddisk Died. Although a happy day, because you noticed it! this is still one of the most boring days ever. It is a day when you suddenly realize you postponed most backups for half an year (not again!), a day when you swear every 5 minutes that from now on you will do so weekly, of-course-weekly-indeed, and try whatever you can now, not all can be saved. Keep watching them taking forever...
What can one do better in such a day than a little wiki editing, though still not knowledgeable about them orcs of the tribe and their stories? * blinks with angel eyes *
* hopes the tribe does not have her boss as a member though *
For the blood of the tribe!
Wiki...? Check.
Guides...? Check.
More than three people adding content... errr...?
Step up Orcies.

I have added some old stuff.
Tried to add new but just can not get my head around it at the moment sorry.
<tumbleweed><tumbleweed><tumbleweed><tumbleweed><tumbleweed><tumbleweed>
Only FOUR people have anything to add?
Just recovered from the twisting nether:
Songs and tales on the path of an Orc (http://orcsoftheredblade.com/wiki/index.php/Songs_and_tales_on_the_path_of_an_Orc), a story of Loial's (from March 2007 it seems!).
Enjoy!
You're starting to make me wonder where you're getting all this from, hehe. Ex member perhaps? Or you're just stalking every poor soul out here? ;)
Still, you definitely won't be hearing me complain. Nice going!
Added some stuff of greg on the wiki ^^ here's a link.

Long answer:
Aw, these orcs and their "patience"... I was about to explain in a story, but I did not manage to finish it yet.

No.

Not yet. ;)
... I still owe the short answer? * sighs *
Ok, ok, short answer:

This "wayback machine" engine did save a few things.
But before you ask: there are NO other stories saved there, and only a couple of wiki pages and several topics. What it happened to stumble upon at the time(s). (though it might try now, well, because I bothered it)
As I said, twisting nether, at least as in you cannot count on it as it stands.
Sorry...
Tried to add page via search (Koz advice) and got this:
Database error
A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:
(SQL query hidden)
from within function "". MySQL returned error "144: Table './edgeload_wiki/mw_searchindex' is marked as crashed and last (automatic?) repair failed (localhost)".
Fixed
Yay, thanks! All is working now. Added article 'bout Grockh. Still more info to come!
Ohdurr, added Morgeth's little story, that's littered with spelling errors I'll have to look into some day.
Perhaps you orcs may want to take a look at two additions: the Rite of Vision (http://orcsoftheredblade.com/wiki/index.php/Rite_of_Vision)
and the Blessing of the Wolf (http://orcsoftheredblade.com/wiki/index.php/Blessing_of_the_Wolf).
Though they are still basically written, you might find it useful to familiarize a little bit with them and give me feedback if you want, since I'm thinking to eventually make them into events of the tribe. I guess we might go for a try in the next few weeks.
I have plenty to add, but as soon as I start reading now to add and edit stuff on the wiki my brains goes out to lunch and refuses to come back.

I am the same with the Wiki site.
I just can not get my head around it how to add to it ect.
Be told lots of times but i guess there is no brain cells left to take it in. :-\
sadly same same, but the biggest problem for me is i have no idea how a wiki works ;D i know.. i'm a noob...
I'm a writer not a computer know-it-all. If someone wants to volunteer to add the content, i'll supply.
My creative mind is away thinking on other things, ??? .....that and being made of fail.

Sure thing. I volunteer, as usual. Please let me know in any way you wish, mail, posts, the content you wish put there. Me likes that!
I will take a look when I can to see what I can add to the little help page over there, but I'm afraid my problem is the other way around: I can do it, I'm not sure how to express it properly though :(
As a reminder for young and old alike, even though our own wiki is still down (and probably will remain so), Defias Brotherhood itself has an 'official' wiki to share all of your fancy character details with the entire server. It's quite addicting in a way when you get into it, so take a look! The tribe's even got its own page, it just still needs a lot of filling in, cause I need to find time to properly write it all down.
