[quote="Calluna"]I've been thinking a lot today about what to do about the site's [url=http://www.aladdincentral.org/encyclopedia/index.php?title=Main_Page]Aladdin wiki[/url]. After the transcripts are done that's probably the next project I'll want to focus on, but I also want to keep the site as simple as possible since I don't have as much free time as I used to. I was thinking about moving it to a site like [url=http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Wikia]Wikia[/url]. Pros: - Could attract more casual fans to help if it's on a bigger site - Less problems with spammers - Fewer scripts on aladdincentral.org = less code that can be hacked into Cons: - No longer ad-free - We might have less control over the wiki To make things more complicated, I checked Wikia and it looks like they [url=http://aladdin.wikia.com/wiki/Aladdin]already have an Aladdin wiki[/url]. There's basically only one page in it, so I could copy most of the Aladdincyclopedia there with no problem, but the admin would be someone that we don't know. Right now I'm leaning towards copying our wiki's pages into the existing wiki on Wikia, and waiting to see how that pans out before doing anything to the wiki here, but I'd like to see what you all think about this before I do anything.[/quote]

I agree, though, it's easier to add to existing material than to write something from scratch, which is probably why I've been so unmotivated so far. <img src="images/smiles/icon_sad.gif" alt="Sad" border="0" /> <br /> <br /></span> <table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Merkal wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">Frankly I say wait and see what's the Wikia Aladdin admin like.
