The https://saidit.net/wiki/index#wiki_wiki_list is not automatic. They are all added by hand.

I see revision by diogenesjunior— 1 month ago.

I wasn't aware of those wikis. The RSAW and Linux wikis are added. I make most subs with wiki ability, though don't bother to make any anymore.

    They're very useful - if people use them.

    I always note them in the sidebox - if people read them.

    I just noted it to save someone a click. Many wikis are possible, but few have even bothered to save the first page. A thousand mile journey starts with one step.

    When I return in the spring I intend to mirror/migrate most of the SaidIt and all of my InfoGalactic stuff to WikiSpooks to further build upon with a better platform and an admin who's responsive (unlike the zombies at Infogalactic). IMO they are the best resource that SaidIt doesn't know it has, and vice versa. I suspect SaidIt would do better with a different forum software, though I have no idea what are available nor what strengths they may have.

      I know nothing about forum software. I knew a bit about wiki packages 16 years ago. I've never delved into forums before SaidIt other than Quora (lame) and QxR (great, with room for improvements).

      I know less about languages. A language switch would be difficult for M7 and D3 but IMO, limited as it is, the important part is the database migration. They have backups, and of course it's backed up on NotABug. I'm guessing it's not as simple as copying text documents into Word or Excel documents - but I'm also guessing it's not rocket surgery. But on the up side if we migrated to a well-supported forum platform there'd be lots of help, modules, etc. - perhaps even an interface skin to make it look like Reddit/SaidIt.

        It's not about the language or the software. It's about the database.

        old-Reddit is not easy to shift around (or so M7D3 say) and the CSS makes it clear that it's very janky.

          I asked for the forum software to be written in Luan, not Java. In Luan, the Python print statement works fine.

          Regarding your username, let me assure you that you are not God regardless of Diogenes's views.
