Currently in a TESTING (beta) setting. Changes to the server, infrastructure, and pages will be made without hesitation by the admins.
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.
- 2/13/2015: Main Page has been changed to "Girlfriend Kari Wiki." This is the new main page.
- 2/14/2015: Logo and favicon have been added.
- 2/15/2015: Main page has been updated in design and style. Now uses MediaWiki:Common.css to edit design.
- 2/15/2015: gfkari.com redirects to wiki.gfkari.com, for the time being.
- 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.
Future updates:
- Working on extension issues, image issues, and server efficiency issues.
- Consider adding extensions for further image reliability support (or as feasible due to constraints in memory)
- Policy pages are to be added, which summarizes the goals/policies/rules of this wiki.
- 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.
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.
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.
We are currently accepting all edits! Feel free to contribute content to the pages! 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.
In the off chance that the server is unable to support hosting Girlfriend Kari Wiki, there will be two options.
- Return to the GF Kari Wikia that we have been using thus far.
- Open donations and hope that they will sum up to ~$20/month.
At this point, I don't believe that any there will be any extreme, dire trouble in running this wiki. However, this is just a notice in the event that something bad does occur.
Here's to everything working out!
