[reposted from the Giraffe Boards, with minor changes] For those who don't know, there's a wiki that's used for recording information on the various games, players, and basics of mafia as played by us. This includes games here, at Giraffe Boards, the SDMB, DoMeBo, and Facebook. As of late, a lot of games are absent from the wiki. I've just added the bare bones of a few GB games. I stuck to the ones I participated in, since I'm not very familiar with the others. Also, I don't know how to add new pages on the wiki without pre-existing red links... If you're at all familiar with editing a wiki,* please go ahead and flesh out pre-existing pages and/or add pages for games and such that have yet to be created. And if you don't have one, go ahead and add yourself a player profile, too, while you're at it. The template I used for the game pages was one that it seemed several other games were using, but you probably don't have to stick to it. Feel free to experiment with different setups--what's important is that all the important information about a game is there. You'll notice that I linked to individual threads for the GB games, because once they're dumped into the Dungeon there's no easy, single link that points to the whole game. *And given the fact that I learned how to mess around in it with no prior experience, it's really not that hard.

To make a new page: Type the name of the page like this: mafiagameswiki.com/mafiaWiki/How_to_make_a_new_pageAfter the mafiaWiki/ just type in any name you'd like the page to have. The next message will be a page that says: There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title in other pages or edit this page.Click "edit this page" and edit like you would have done with any other page. Hope it makes sense - if not I'm more that willing to help out anyway I can. My mail is hej_ull@live.dk

That does help, thank you! I'll see if I can get a few more Giraffe Boards mafia games added over the weekend, if no one beats me to it. I'm also toying with the idea of creating a category page for templates, so that wiki novices who aren't sure how to set up a given page can look up a template they like and simply plug information in.

I added the basic info (dates, player lists, winner, links) for all of the games I've participated in that weren't there already. i think I added 7 or 8 pages.

Many thanks to both of you for all the work you've been doing on the wiki! I got a few more added, and also discovered a handful of player profiles that were created but not listed under the proper category, so I fixed that as well. Also, I think the gaming history for Giraffe Boards is complete, now.
If it sounds like I'm almost trying to take over the wiki, just know that it's not the case; my curator nature gives me an enthusiasm for having things well documented and organized.

Everything I've run should have had a page, and I'm pretty sure my own is up-to-date.
