I, for one, am extremely pleased that this has come about. This can be an excellent resource for the entire RTW community. Please, everyone say thank you to Kdub who, unfortunately, cannot yet post here. He is hosting the wiki, set up the application, and prepared it for us. Now, the rest is up to the community.

Spread the word!

Hey, I just whined until someone decided to shut me up by providing a host. Kdub did all the real work, thank him! :)

Can we get categories for like, Income, City Management... the list goes on.

I'm new to the wiki concept, but I'll try anything once ~:cheers:

Cool. I just tried the site (for 120 seconds) and it is pretty easy and nifty.

Just one question though: what prevents someone from simply vandalizing the site by deleting everything or posting misinformation. It doesn't seem like it tracks who is editing and seems to totally depend on people's good nature .

OR am I missing something?

Apparently there are some serious problems with rollbacks due to folks wiping out the nav sidebar, etc. I already lost about 40 mins work. Ah well, life with pub wikis...

Different wiki-implementations have varying safeguards and ways of handling deliberate or accidental vandalism, making it easy, "easy" or not-so-easy to handle it. Some implementations make it possible to restrict editor access, which some find useful, while others consdier it to be contradictory to the whole "wiki idea".

My 2 cents,
