Documentations (working title) - The New Wiki

Author	Posted on 2016/07/12 #1901
MKGirlism	So we have been discussing to bring back a Documentations thingy for MKDS and MK7 Hacking. To have a more democratic vote on it, here's the Poll. What needs to be considered? MediaWiki will NOT come back, it's way to heavy. However, I may revive the old Wiki to a few people, just to port data over. In the meantime, in case of a "Yes" vote, I'll make something with similar features. Naming In the ShoutBox, we ended up being unable to agree on a fancy name for it (like how our download centre is called "Hack Store", and how our no longer existing video service was called "ModTube"), I'd like your input about it here as well. After voting If the majority votes "No", it's obvious I won't do anything. If the majority votes "Yes", I'll start its development. To fit people's needs, I will as well keep coming back with some concepts. CT Pages We already discussed that one, and it's better not to make CT Pages anymore, as that's something the Hack Store already does. However, providing a list like on Tockdom would still be helpful.

So we have been discussing to bring back a Documentations thingy for MKDS and MK7 Hacking.
To have a more democratic vote on it, here's the Poll.

What needs to be considered?
MediaWiki will NOT come back, it's way to heavy.
However, I may revive the old Wiki to a few people, just to port data over.
In the meantime, in case of a "Yes" vote, I'll make something with similar features.

Naming
In the ShoutBox, we ended up being unable to agree on a fancy name for it (like how our download centre is called "Hack Store", and how our no longer existing video service was called "ModTube"), I'd like your input about it here as well.

After voting
If the majority votes "No", it's obvious I won't do anything.
If the majority votes "Yes", I'll start its development.

To fit people's needs, I will as well keep coming back with some concepts.

CT Pages
We already discussed that one, and it's better not to make CT Pages anymore, as that's something the Hack Store already does.
However, providing a list like on Tockdom would still be helpful.

Arctus 64	I like the name Pablo suggested in the shoutbox, "Handheld Kart Resource".

User 156	So far (10:07 GMT-8 Time), these ideas have been thrown around: "MKHDB" (Mario Kart Hack Database) - Basicaneer; SGC had the idea of "HMKDB"; "Handheld Kart Resource" - Pablo; Also, an idea was mentioned pertaining to calling it "docs" (or to the likes of that), but got tossed out (similarity to Google Docs, which is a word processor).

Captain Famicom	How About Mario Kartridge Database?(Cause the handheld mario karts are sort of on a cartridge)

MKGirlism	How About Mario Kartridge Database?(Cause the handheld mario karts are sort of on a cartridge) The pun is nice, except that Mario Kart 64 and Super Mario Kart have also been released on cartridges.

Captain Famicom	Well since the mods are sort of Homebrew what about Homebrew Karting Database?

Author	Posted on 2016/07/14 #1907
MKGirlism	Actually, ROM Hacking isn't quite the same thing as Homebrew Development. With Homebrew, you make Apps from the ground up, while with ROM Hacking, you modify an already existing game.

MKGirlism	Alright, so it's clear: 8 vs 0! I've made a little mock-up of the Frontpage: Note: the "Announcement", "Approval Queue", and "Edit Homepage" options will only be viewable by people with a new Special Status: "Wiki Admin".
