* Pages on editing, image uploading rules, support, constraints, server issues, bugs, changelog, etc.
 
* An actual MAIN PAGE that isn't just filled with technical jargon that describes the current status of the site/server
 
* Technical jargon like this will be moved to a page like "status" or "updates" or something of the like.
 
* A new banner.
 
 
 
The wiki will be kept as open as possible to allow changes from all users. There will be some general rules on editing and image uploading to preserve the quality of the wiki and the server health as a whole. These will be listed in a different page in due time. Please note that any attempts to destroy data or server capabilities/functions will result in being blacklisted from the site.
 
  
 
Also, more admins will be necessary in the due future. Active contributors on the previous wikia are highly recommended to talk with me (Erina) if interested.

Server Status

Currently in a relatively stable status. However, due to the early state of the server, changes to the server, infrastructure, and pages may still be made if deemed necessary.

Server News

You may have noticed that the account creation is currently limited to those who know the password. Wanna know the password? Check out ErinaAveen's userpage on Wikia OR Erina's userpage on this wiki, and type in the name of his favorite girl (hint, her name starts with an I). We are also looking for admins, feel free to contact Erina for more information! Account creation is currently limited due to the amount of spambots that tend to auto-create accounts and unwanted content on the server.

Also, more admins will be necessary in the due future. Active contributors on the previous wikia are highly recommended to talk with me (Erina) if interested.

The future of this wiki is to become much more exhaustive and extensive than the current active Wikia. This means that information about the girls (their personalities, interests, statistics, etc.) as well as their available in-game cards will be added.

We are currently accepting all edits! Feel free to contribute content to the pages, by editing previous pages for quality or by adding new content! A wiki is run by its contributors, so anyone with knowledge on Girlfriend Kari should come contribute! Keep what I said above about the hardware issues in your mind, and take a look at our editing policies and uploading policies before you contribute. Feel free to provide Erina feedback on how the server is working as well.

Hardware Notices

A few hardware notes:

  • The current hardware that the server is running on is more than enough to support MediaWiki and its core functions.
  • The current hardware that the server is running on meets the requirements to support VisualEditor and Parsoid.
  • What this means to you: Avoid using the VisualEditor to make edits if you know how to use markup text. Also, don't play around with images too much (as in constantly resizing them, spamming them in various articles, etc.). This causes unnecessary server load.

For now, the server seems to be able to handle a decent sum of traffic pretty well. However, if anything is to come up or change, there may end up being two options:

  1. Return to the GF Kari Wikia that we have been using thus far.
  2. Open donations and hope that they will sum up to ~$20/month.

So far, I've encountered very little difficulty with running this server and site, so I think we should be fine. However, this is just a notice in the event that something bad does occur.

Here's to everything working out!

Changelog

The below lists the current changelog to the wiki:

  • 2/12/2015: MediaWiki has been successfully installed.
  • 2/13/2015: VisualEditor has also been successfully installed.

  • 2/17/2015: Modules and Templates are now working, along with documentation! I'll add more information on these later.
  • 2/19/2015: Comments can be added to any pages with the comments tag. Just put the word comments in diamond brackets.
  • 3/18/2015: Categories have been added.

Future Updates

Future updates:

  • Consider adding extensions for further image reliability support (or as feasible due to constraints in memory)
  • Working on finishing the policy and help pages.
  • Change and add more girls onto the main page (but not so much that they're cluttered). Working on finding good (better) sprites from GF Kari to use, like the Haruka one.
