Is it fixed?
I had another idea. Maybe my wiki page was too long?
If you ever do add display limits and character counts there are a few other places this would be good, ie. all the fields in the sub settings. I feel like there was another place but if there was I forgot.

Fixed.

Everything does have a limit at the end of the day. It's like server-side though, so you have to submit a gigantic wall of text and get an error to find out that there are limits. It would be cool to publish all of these limits somewhere I guess.

Thanks.

If only there was a wiki. Oh wait...
Also, while lying around anguishing and watching too many Same Of Thowns videos I also determined that after much of my writing stuff is nailed down, compelling, and solidly good enough to really delve into pre-production and production I'm going to actually need a reliable and backup-able online resource. At that point the scripts should be clear, I'm guessing you and /u/magnora7 will approve and maybe even agree with everything in them, in part because everyone will have a say on them here (and if there are disagreements I'll state my cases, etc.), and maybe you guys will be co-admins of my new wikimedia site. I intend to invite /u/Robin of WikiSpooks too. I hope there is not too much to being admin of it all, and I certainly wouldn't want you to sacrifice much for it.
I'm hoping to set it up to have different sections. For example, the Glossed And Profound productions would need certain permissions, as would the Sayer's playground for essays, blogs, images, small media (IG has a 100mb limit), etc. Another section could be for the Conspiracy Encyclopedia you hope for, though IMO WikiSpooks is already excellent at that, more or less, without the woo. I don't really see it as being ideal for yet another encyclopedia, but I love the MW powerful tools that are more powerful than HTML in countless ways.
Of course all of this could change in time. Maybe the Everipedia fork is the way to go, or SaidIt decentralizes in a whole other way. But it's something to keep in the back of your mind, say if you ever decide to /r/adopt /wp/crossover /ws/short /ig/cuts, or come across or develop other things.
I still have that list of potential wiki names for a survey when the day comes - but I added one: TIDIAS, whether as a dotnet or dotcom or some other derivative. Pronounce it how you like, "todays", "t'dais", or "tid-yes" - no matter how you spellit it's sdrawkcab.

Hahahaa

I'm down! However I can help fuck the feds is the right place for me.
Yeah, if you're happy with mediawiki and think it can accomplish your goals, then by all means yes. Now that you know CSS magic you can mold it to your needs a little better too. I hope SaidIt will decentralize someday soon, but even then, it's still a social news aggregator with lovely nested comments and a mini-wiki, it's not the best fit for everything. If you just need simple web pages/sites, you should consider WordPress. Easy plugins to show videos, nice non-html editing, etc. etc.

I love SaidIt despite its limits, but it's not enough so far as hosting media and files and archiving them. Plus it's a powerful wiki. While I intent to eventually publish my work beyond SaidIt in a graphic novel for the screenplay/storyboard story, and on all the video platforms for video, including PeerTube, if there's a good host for streaming maybe we can host our little show too.
I'm hoping I can do something akin to what Wikipedia does in that they lean as much as possible on Wikimedia Commons for completely copyright-free content. I have some big issues with WP WC and that whole thing so I haven't uploaded my entire portfolio yet, and I'm not sure I want to release all copyrights either. And last time I looked for free image hosting that allowed you to retain 100% rights of your own work I came up empty and very very despondent. I'm hoping an alternative may come to light, or we might become it. I figure we'll have to monitor the hell out of the content to avoid getting slapped silly by copyright infringement.
I don't feel tech savvy confident enough to push limits by adopting an open source VPN or making a public seed box as much as I'd love to. I'll torrent myself groups get noticed. Beyond that, I want to play by all their rules until I'm forced to break them after they change them.
CSS doesn't apply to Wikipedia. I knew basic CSS from over a dozen years ago. Reddit CSS is different but not too much. The biggest hurdle is trying to learn the Reddit system and funky nomenclature.
I just had an epiphany of sorts. WP has a community of sorts that takes place on the talk pages, where they discuss the content of the main page. Or the history page of an article features comments (I'm the absolute worst for not filling them out). Anyway, who needs that kind of community when SaidIt is a superior community forum? That could potentially leave the talk pages empty (like most of InfoGalactic's discussion pages (just renamed)). I've always said that Wikipedia needs more tabs for other content, ie. fringe, fancruft, alt views, opinions, essays, etc. Then again, I think there's also ways to add more tabs anyway, so maybe this is all just moot.
WordPress is meh at best. I'd rather custom build my own site. And I don't to reinvent a wheel when I can be inventing new space travel ideas, illustrating them, publishing them, and maybe one day finally someone might make it into a movie. Hell, people are sick of crappy corporate media, lazy writing, pablum ideas, and manipulative propaganda. If ever there was a time for this story... Anyway, WordPress censors their own hosted content now (Jay Dyer and others), and if I wanted easy blandness then I'd just publish on Steemit, Minds, etc. - and I will anyway, to earn the crypto if I can.

Yeah WordPress.com are bastards, I mean self-hosting the open source version. It's not that bad self-hosting stuff, especially when you have people you can reach out to for help.
You can do custom CSS on mediawiki if you are hosting it, probably not through a convenient interface tho.
Anyway, it sounds like you know what you want. The content will speak for itself on whichever platforms it ends up on.
