hello chat :3

Thx!!

S2P1C1 complete

Ooh

we're so back

wha

WERE BACK HUMANZZZ

@RydwolfPrograms yes

S2P1C2

maybe post this in TGC with some backstory?

Maybe once there's a bit more story fleshed out

I'm quickly patching S1/S2 into the current viewer

So I can direct upload to there

Alright. You might want to git pull if you haven't already, I uploaded all the images and captioned p4c5

okay, who's our cast

@emanresuA that the fan one?

ye

@Ginger redz, hyper, and mousetail are 3/4

also redz debut 👀

Merge conflict

Idk enough git to fix this lol

skill issue or something

smh surge not redeployed

I think I did it right

Hopefully I didn't lose some changes somewhere

The way git handles merge conflicts is absolutely vile

se-nitro.fandom.com/wiki/SE_Nitro_Wiki

@RydwolfPrograms noway

surely we can find an alternate host

What's wrong w fandom?

oh, where do I begin

it's absolutely loaded with ads, the staff treat the wikis as an annoyance at best and don't listen to their admins, the company's trying to effectively make it a social network, they do everything in their power to stop wikis from migrating away, they make it as hard as possible to do any real customization or styling, etc etc etc

it's just a shit platform

we could use wikidot or something

@RydwolfPrograms solution: galvenised square steel and eco friendly wood veneer

Plus ofc some screws borrowed from your aunt

hell, once the server's back I could host the wiki myself (although not a mediawiki one, mediawiki is hell to deal with as I learned last time I tried)

Fandom's good emough

please no

like

wikidot exists and is infinitely less shitty

This website looks like shit

If I stumbled across it by accident I'd think their homepage was someone domain parking

here's how fandom looks to me

all of those ads are animated

it's worse on desktop

On desktop there's adblock tho

it has no redeeming qualities whatsoever

please please please at least let me find an alternative, it doesn't have to be wikidot

Other than being familiar, easy to use, and good enough?

ah, there's miraheze

We use chrome canvas here, high quality creative platforms aren't exactly our brand

fandom is actively malicious, chrome canvas isn't

I wouldn't call fandom malicious based on how you described them, just capitalist and enshittified

okay, I was being hyperbolic

but there are alternatives that are neither

I will do the miraheze setup myself if you want

This miraheze website doesn't even link to a wiki on the platform

Can you find one so I can see what this platform even looks like

one second

Ginger I'm just gonna do a fandom. Ads suck but that's the only issue that's actually going to matter

oh, you have to request to make a wiki on miraheze; I think they'd let us but I'm guessing you wouldn't be happy

@RydwolfPrograms uuuuuugh

fine

once the server's back I'm looking into self-hosting it

I'm pretty sure the last time you staged a revolt against fandom it killed the wiki far more than any ads or capitalism did

Idealism's cool and all but there's a subtle art to good enoughing

oh, I clicked away from the tab and came back to a screen-filling HVAC ad

wonderful

there were four layered ads at the bottom of the screen

what the fuck

I think it's gotten worse

rydwolf I get that your philosophy is good enough but this feels like hacking through a jungle of ads

@RydwolfPrograms that wiki was never alive to begin with I think

there was just no interest

(and I didn't really know what I was doing)

but I still have the DNS for wiki.rto.community iirc

You can request a mirawhatever wiki if you want to, how about that

I'll look into it

Actually miraheze does look neat

ok yeah this shouldn't be too hard

they explicitly say that they support wikis for private stuff like what we're doing

question is, do I make a CGCC general wiki or a specific one for nitro?

Nitro

That's what this one is

CGCC general would be way too broad

alrighty

neat, we can do custom domains

like ones we own

is senitro.cgcc.wiki taken? :3c

cgcc.wiki is unavailable yeah

hey can you do me a favor and write a two-sentence summary of the wiki

@RydwolfPrograms :(

> Nitro is a comic created by Par for the Course Comics and Film Co., on the Stack Exchange platform. It follows the users of CGCC (and later, PLDI) as they fight tyranny in a quasi-digital realm.

alrighty

is our name "SE Nitro" or just "Nitro"?

Just "Nitro" is the official comic name, but I'd do "SE Nitro" for the wiki name

Since it's less ambiguous and more googleable

got it

@RydwolfPrograms What about js.wiki? It looks pretty good and doesn't have the issues Ginger mentioned with Fandom

Looks like it has to be self-hosted, which currently isn't an option

Also it doesn't look like it'd be very good for media-related wikis

More for code documentation

alright, requested

meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestWikiQueue/…

and now we wait

I would've put a dash in the URL but meh

I can edit it

Ooh nice

Could we do se-nitro?

damn, alphanumeric only

well, we can always use a domain we own in the future

we will probably have to wait a few days

until then we can make more pages :3

hang on lemme invite redz, since she's a character now
