LBPC/LBP Wiki

Archive: 80 posts

Well, first I'll give you a bit of backstory... I originally suggested this well over a year ago, and it came this close to fruition... But CC eventually decided against it.

then, when schm0 became a mod, I was looking through his old threads cause I'm a stalker like that, and found a thread for making an "LBP2" wiki.

I bumped it, and schm0 talked to CC.

schm0 said that CC laid it down like this:



To do a wiki would be great, and he'd love to, but he already spends a lot of time putting effort into the forums, and he wouldn't want to do it half-assed. Personally, the way he put it he completely endorsed the idea but doesn't want to implement something that sucks or doesn't have his full support. He said if there was an independent wiki that had the huge following and community base, much like we have here, he would support the hell out of it.

So, that's where this thread comes in.

My basic thoughts were for CC to incorporate a wiki mod into the site itself, using this mod:

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=239377

There is a free version, but it doesn't have all the features- the best version, however, is 60 dollars, which another donation thing could handle if we really wanted it.

I was thinking that it could be handled semi independently, like perhaps some mods who want to help would do it.

Or, if actually making it a part of LBPC is too much, then perhaps somewhere else... I just think that actually placing it in LBPC would be the easiest on us.

At any rate, they also would want to know if there were enough people to actually support such an idea, and would actually want to help create it. Or if everyone is against the idea. An, if the idea of it actually being integrated into LBPC is too much, then maybe hosting it somewhere else, I unno.

So, in conclusion, say what you think, and if this idea doesn't come into fruition, I promise I'll let it rest.

... That seemed like an awkward way to end this, so... uh... /runs		2010-06-26 21:01:00

This would be really cool, make that RPG real fast and get some Revenue from it, for this!! haha
On a serious note this would be nice to have, i think in general people would use it more if it was actually integrated into the site		2010-06-26 21:12:00

Well, a little while back Rock started writing the Founding of LBPC (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=24889-08-ers-Unite!/page3&) (Post 32, note that thread is old, don't bump it) and never finished it, so I guess Rock could finish that and it'd be included, I guess...		2010-06-26 21:22:00

Here's the problem with doing something like this: if there was ever to be a LittleBigPlanet Wiki with this site's name tied to it, I would have to be very involved in it. As involved in it as I am LBPCentral as whole. The inherent problem there is that I'm only one person - if I were to try to support something like this, I would be spread much too thinly, and LBPC would suffer because of it.

The only real option I see is for some enterprising community members to band together and create their own LittleBigPlanet Wiki, one that is independently hosted, managed, and staffed, and one that is not officially tied to LBPCentral in any way. That's not to say we wouldn't promote the hell out of it - if it were good, we would - but putting the LBPCentral logo on it would require a certain level of involvement from me. I don't have any extra time to commit to something like that.		2010-06-26 22:57:00

Well, I know schm0 was interested in a wiki so if we do need a specific mod for the wiki, I think he might be willing, and of course the rest would know when to help do stuff or something.

I really don't know how a wiki would work, but I still think it would be a neat addition. But I don't really know how much work in entails, so... Any way,

Either we can make a privately funded wiki that is a "sister" site of sorts to LBPC... or...

Well, I don't really know about you needing to put in that much time into it... Like you've got me making LBPC The Game and it doesn't have anything to do with you but has the LBPC logo. But still, well, I can see Luos there is heavily interested, and some other people too. We could try it, the free vesion first and, if it's good enough, people could donate to get the best version... If we do this. But yes, don't know too much about wikis, but they're generally user controlled, yes? So the users could edit stuff and operate it and, if something wrong happens, then we could report it. But I don't really know too much, so we'll just need to check interest and stuffz..		2010-06-28 15:38:00

I would be sure to use it, and update/add additions to the wiki if I would think it would add to this database.
Beginners can use the wiki to learn about the basic logics,
while the more advanced creators can use it to come up with more complex and original uses of logic and share these with others.

I remember using the unreal-Wiki a lot (just pressed F1 and you had access to a by EPIC funded Wiki, they even updated a lot the wiki themselves.. If you bought the unreal engine, you even had access to the more in depth stuff of the Wiki that was eyes only for the ones using the engine for their games. I was furtunate enough to have it at my side all the time if I wanted to create something that was outside my comfort zone.

Im actually drooling over the thought of having a up-to-date user-friendly wiki,
especially when lbp2 hits the world.		2010-06-28 16:02:00

hmm, I could maybe help set-up this project. How many people here are willing to be active contributers?

They have free wiki hosting sites

Do you guys want to use that or create an independent one?

Well, Ive set up a wiki on my host and as you can see, we would have to start off pretty bare. Do you think any of you guys can shape that site up?

Now in all seriousness, think it through and carefully:
- How many people are really gonna use this?
- Now how many peo[ple are really gonna use it more than once or twice?
- Who's gonna manage and maintain it?
Remember that Modship and Adminship are in two completly different leagues. (At least good Adminship)

So can you guys REALLY support this, or is this just an idea you just expect someone to handle somehow?		2010-06-28 19:45:00

Well, its up to you guys. We can use a free wiki hosting site or we can host it off the host im using for candlepants.

If you host it independently, we can use our own domain, not a subdomain, and we cut out all the advertisements and junk they put on it.		2010-06-28 20:16:00

This is what you need to get started. Ad-free and independently hosted is the way to go. Besides, the MediaWiki engine that's installed is powerful and (mostly) full-featured, unlike some of the other hosted sites.

Someone here needs to take charge (RS?), divvy up categories (it might be good to check out the LBP1 wiki for ideas) and start editing with what is known so far. I don't know what CandlePants' bandwith is like, but the more you guys edit, the better. Looks promising so far.		2010-06-28 20:30:00

Me take charge? Me make wiki? Me do something I have no clue whatsoever to do? ;o

... LET'S DO IT... as long as I have people who actually can run it. /cough

And yeah, if it's run at candlepants... which is somehow an lbp site... look, yeah, I just can't get past the idea you named an LBP site something so random and expected people to sign up. /cough

So yeah... um... well, I don't think I can really run anything (aside from LBPC the Game... for some bizarre reason) and I would like for it to be incorporated into LBPC somehow... buuuuuuuuuut... yeah, I unno. /runs		2010-06-28 20:35:00

We can go up to 256,000MB a month. I'm barely using any right now so we should be good on bandwidth. If the need were to ever rise, I could always just upgrade.

We don't have to host it on candlepants. I'll just be using the same hosting account that I use for candlepants. I'll buy a new domain for it and set everything up there. Let me know what you guys want for the domain name.		2010-06-28 20:35:00

And the fact that you didn't even take into consideration the fact that it seems random and wouldn't pop up on search engines because it has nothing to do with what you're describing and then wondering why people don't sign up for a site with a random name accounts for...?

Anyway, I don't really feel like going more into this, I'm just saying that if you made a wiki, I can't see myself devoting any time or effort into something with such bad foresight :/. ... k, dropping subject.

And Kernel, there is no package. It's on the back of the CD case.

I'm thinking of reinstating my offer. However, before we begin, I have to see if we have enough eligible people here to work on the site. If you're interested in working on this project to make it the best it can be, please let me know here or send a PM. You should be able to answer the following questions:

1.) What can you do to benefit the site?
2.) What prior experience/skills do you have that pertain to the requested position.
3.) How often will you be able to work on the site?

Here are some of the positions we will need filled before we can continue with the site:

1) Graphic Designers - your primary role will be to draw up logos and pictures using photoshop or other professional photo editing software. You must be capable of producing high quality images using your incredible artistic ability.

2.) Content Advisors - these people help contribute ideas to what would be good content to include on the site. They are responsible for giving suggestions to what information the site should include while ensuring that all content is put on the site within reasonable time. They are also required to evaluate content to make sure it is appropriate, accurate, free of spelling errors, useful, and informative. You will also be helping organizing the site, so that users can navigate the site to find useful information quick and easy.

3.) Writers - these are the people who will write the articles. Anyone applying for this position should have outstanding writing abilities and be able to capture the readers mind while giving important information and facts. You must be able to pay attention to details and write very informatively. This position will also require research.

Let me know if you think you have something else that can help benefit the site.

EDIT: Well, at this rate, we'll never get this project done. If you guys truly care about it, then we need people that can actually work on it.		2010-06-30 04:30:00

Just a suggestion: regardless of who hosts the Wiki, it's a good idea to ensure it has its own domain, outside of any existing affiliations. If you're looking to draw support from many different sources, you don't want to "pledge allegiance" to any one specific site. Since a Wiki is intended to be helpful to all who utilize it regardless of which fansite they frequent, affiliations will limit the scope and potential of the Wiki from the get-go. Plus, an independent domain means easier promotion, easier SEO, easier management - easier everything, essentially. You can still host it on whatever server you may happen to currently have, you can just assign the Wiki directory its own domain, outside of whatever else it happens to be hosted with.

Of course, that's just a suggestion - whoever's paying for it has final say, obviously.		2010-07-01 03:05:00

Well, as I've said before, I do care, I just would prefer if it was led by someone who knew what they were doing. No offense, I mean, sometimes I don't, I just don't... really... uh... /runs

im interested a bit, maybe not as much but i am interested.

If you don't want to pay for it then make a free website here
http://www.webs.com/
Then you are able to add a Wikipedia to the site. You probaly wont use the site as a forum or anything else but you could add a WHOLE wikipedia for free		2010-07-04 00:58:00

Alright, well let's just see how far we can get before we actually spend some dollars/pounds. Anyone who wants to help make the wiki should start editing it now. If I can see enough promise in it, then I will spend the extra cash to get it its own domain. But first, I need to see that you people can actually dedicate some effort and time into it.

Start by editing the following wiki: http://candlepants.org/mediawiki-1.15.4/index.php/Main_Page

This will be open editing meaning anyone can edit or add whatever they want for now. Later, I might ask that those more dedicated be assigned positions to help keep the site updated and organized.

Also, I wish I could contribute some myself but I won't be able to find much time so it's really up to you guys to turn it into something awesome.		2010-07-04 07:11:00

Perhaps I completly missed the point of CC's post... (but it felt territorial) and if I ever feared for the stewardship of LBPC, it was misplaced and unneeded. That post was absolutely beautifully written and pretty much sealed the fate of this project in this current incarnation.

Um... yeah, so basically, from what you're saying, no one knows them so we should respect them? I wouldn't mind having it be run by someone who actually could do anything right, but I just haven't seen anything from them that makes me want to bother working for them.

... or something, basically what I got from that was that they are good for actually having made a site and I;m jealous because you people know who I am so I should be made the bad guy. Or something. I really have no idea what you're trying to say >_>

To be honest, I'm rly starting to think this is dumb and pointless. Mainly because of two reasons. First, why should we even bother to create an LBP wiki when there's already one that is very comprehensive. I can't even see a way how we can compete with it. Secondly, I rly don't think there's gonna be any support for this. It's been almost a week now and no one has been able to contribute more than a couple of sentences. Another thing is that I don't like wiki that much. It's too hard to set-up everything. So I would have to agree with RockSauron and say I'm not the best person to be in charge of it. I can still help set it up but we would need someone with more experience with making wikis.2010-07-06 02:59:00

I can guarantee you it has nothing to do with territory. I think it's great that someone has the ability and initiative to install the wiki, but the truth of a website startup is, if you want others to commit their time to it, you have to be equally (if not more) involved yourself. It's like having an empty building with a sign on the door and calling it a business - it's got serious potential, but nobody's gonna go work for the guy who calls an empty building his workplace and doesn't do much actual work.

I'm not accusing Enlong3 of being lazy - the absolute opposite, actually. I'm trying to make the point that if he does put work into it on his own, if he doesn't give up on it just because it feels like he's the only one working on it, he will eventually draw people in. That kind of initial "down-payment" is required if you want any sort of socially-driven website to get off the ground.		2010-07-06 09:14:00

This may not be my place to comment seeing as i'm a mere minnow but i'd like to raise a few points.

When perusing the board i saw this topic title and my first thought was 'Isn't there already an LBP Wiki?'

And here it is. http://littlebigplanet.wikia.com/wiki/LittleBigPlanet_Wiki Not doubting a useful sight and enough to wonder what the point of making of another LBP wiki is.

If people here do what to make a wiki on LBP, then it has to be something different from http://littlebigplanet.wikia.com/wiki/LittleBigPlanet_Wiki but i think people here have the ability to do so.

You see, that wiki has a lot of great information aboutthe offical stuff, the releases, the DLC and the story levels, but there's nothing community driven.

There's no information on the various types of logic, no articles on the best levels, or creators. I think if you focused on that side you'd have a niche over the existing products.		2010-07-09 15:52:00

My original idea was to create a advertising free wiki with modifiable wiki features, unlike the limited ability you have when hosting the wiki publicly on wikia.com. Plus, last I checked, there was little to no mention of any extensive LBP2 information. The idea of an "LBPC" wiki I thought was to have it written and driven by the community here, and not be just about LBPC necessarily, but all things related to LBP/LBP2/etc.		2010-07-09 20:04:00

Oh hai, Imma necroing my own thread, trying to see if anyone else is crazy.

Now, I guess convincing CC to make an LBPC wiki is too far out (though personally I think it'd be better to dedicate the "effort" spent on MNRC on that... but /sniped), so I'm just bringing this up to ask if anyone here wants to make a wiki.

... Yeah. Any potential chance I can convince someone to put all that effort and money into making a wiki just by typing this post? 		2010-08-16 03:25:00

A really good LBP wiki could be seriously useful...


@CC why do you need to be so I vilved in the wiki if it's tied to this site? If the community writes the majority of the articles and you and the other mods do authentic checks I don't see any problem.

Maybe i've missed a, or multiple points..		2010-08-16 03:52:00

You mean that one that was on the candlepants server that had one page and we couldn't add anymore and it wasn't organized or anything at all and we had to do it all on one page?

That can't be used as evidence for anything >_>

It's kinda sad, I just went on there and it's a ghost town with just a few spambots, people advertising their mods to no one and people asking what's going on. It just kinda bugs me when he says he doesn't have the effort to run things like this yet just lets MNRC collect dust. Just seems... ,-.

And then the fact that we had to buy vb exp 4.0 licenses for both... I feel really sorry for Incinerator for spending 100 dollars on the 4.0 thing no one over there is ever around to use because we needed to buy it for both sites.

I just don't like that the wiki is too much effort yet they need more money to run MNRC even though there isn't ANYONE there. >_<

... anyway, wiki. Someone want to make one? <_>		2010-08-16 03:56:00

I will not be silenced! ... unless the mods decide I should be... in which case I technically would be... in a way...

But WIKI!

And aren't wikis supposed to be all user based and stuff? So the community would build it and not necessarily you?

I unno. We needz a wiki! Someone, lend me your ears!		2010-08-18 00:12:00

What, I wasn't making the wiki, I was just saying someone else should >_>

I can't possibly make the wiki... Or I could, but I can't pay for it. And operating it would be a mess.

I was asking someone else to, not myself >_<		2010-08-18 02:16:00

There is the LBP wiki, but to be quite honest, it's rubbish. :/
To be fair, if it was hosted at LBPC, it probably would get quite a fair bit more popular than the current one.
I suggest that if there was a wiki hosted on the Central, you would get awarded points and trophies for making useful edits, but only a certain amount per day to stop the spamming of edits.
As far as I am aware, LBPC is out there as one of the biggest, if not THE biggest LBP communit(y/ies) out there, and I'm sure there are alot of dedicated members out there who would support a LBPC wiki in every way.

EDIT: And two fine examples of these dedicated members would be schm0 and RockSauron		2010-08-18 20:39:00

I would help too i guess, and theres no reason to give xp and trophies for the wiki, it would cause spamming, so XP is not needed, but it would get a lot more editing if it was actually on LBPC2010-08-18 20:53:00

I did read your post, people will still spam it to that cap, theres no reason to award XP, if you actually want a wiki you would still edit it without any award D:2010-08-18 21:25:00

this is media wiki -
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki
its a free software, the same one wikipedia use.

All you need now is a domain.		2010-08-19 13:02:00

Well I think the idea of having that vault wiki addon for these forums is great! Having a wiki tied to a different domain name is however a bad idea, at first people may update it but I can see it getting slowly more inactive over time and then being lost and forgotten. BUT if you have the wiki on LBPC it's going to have the might of this wonderful community behind it and I can tell it's going to grow into something wonderful and become the best source of information about LBP, LBP2 and LBPC. The fact that it will be a great source of education for when LBP2 releases will bring new people to this site looking to satisfy their thirst for knowledge about the game.

Also, there is another plus to having this wiki. Some of you seem not overly keen to have a category in this wiki about LBPC but for me I think it will be great for newcomers to learn more about it's famous members, how to behave, the history (this community has a hell of a history) and lots more. Also I can tell members are going to have a ton of fun filling out pages about funny events and interesting threads. For example; that craze that emerged last Halloween where everyone changed their avatars to look like some other members; if somebody brings that up in a conversation people who weren't there to witness that at the time can look it up and find more about it. I myself would find it useful because I have patches of activity, sometimes I go for weeks without making a post. It'll be great to have pages about members who have come and gone, the mighty titans that have grown inactive OR the irritating fly's

Anyway just to give you people an idea of my take on what the catagories of this wiki could be, if it ends up coming to LBPC of course:

- LBPC/Community
- Fan Made Projects (could be "community" sub-catagory?)
- LBP2
- LBP1
- LBP PSP
- Media Molecule

Obviously the downside is that mods may have more work to do, though I don't see why you should be too involved if you don't want to CC.		2010-08-19 14:22:00

Well, I'm not too sure about a section dedicated to LBPC, albeit I would probably like it. <_>

But still. I think it would be good, and I'm not too sure what this extra work would really be :/. It'd be a little more work, of course, but it's not like a wiki is dependent on the creators.		2010-08-19 17:19:00

I myself would definitely contribute regularly, I love wikis!
Imagine that you're a complete newbie to LBP and you come across this site, it would be like heaven for a new person who wanted to know about the game he was buying!
Now I know, LBPC is a very newb-friendly site with an extremely friendly community, but a wiki would just complete the site.
This would be the place to be for all LBP players, new and old. And with the community we have, I could never see a wiki hosted by this site failing.		2010-08-19 17:51:00

Well i guess its time for CC to come and see what we've been talking about D: We need a mod to offer that they would watch over it,
But in the end, we have the report post button for a reason and im sure if its on LBPC itself it would say what user edited what and if a user does somthing... as the creepy guy from LBP would say, Naughty we could report it =/		2010-08-19 18:09:00

Wow, this sounds like a great addition to me. There is so much to know about this game and its evolution in the community. A wiki made by the best LBP community would surely be a great resource.2010-09-04 21:15:00
