Above, the flag of the Pasteurat of Cascande that I’m currently editing. It’s basically a city-state. I wish we had a big list of the countries in this world.
Wikia would be a good place because it’s realiable and many people may already have accounts there as it’s widely used.
Also, I think this wiki is a good idea because it can allow for history, culture and politics of the map to be worked out and made which can add a sense of depth and creativity.

…I would prefer a wiki based on the MediaWiki-Software:
free of ads
nice syntax
The article-pages could be used to introduce the single countries/regions/cities and the talk-pages could be used to discuss about the article AND the mapping in that countries/regions/cities. On the mainpage there could be an OGF-highlights-showcase-box.
I’m not a fan of Wikia either. MediaWiki is far too big and complicated for my likings. There are some very soft alternative (my favorite is DokuWiki, but it needs to be hosted on a server. I can host it myself but it would make more sense to be hosted on OGF directly, right?
I already installed it some time ago, but then got frustrated because a lot of Wikipedia functionality is not provided out-of-the-box, for example geographic coordinate handling or infoboxes.
I would really appreciate if someone of you who might have more MediaWiki know-how would take the position of “wiki administrator”.
If you sign up, please use the same username and email address as with OGF itself.
(Apparently it should already be bundled with the wiki seeing as you have MediaWiki 1.23.1, but it needs to be enabled using the instructions for LocalSettings.php shown on the page)

What are your thoughts, admins?

Well, here it is:

Please regard it as being still experimental.
I already installed it some time ago, but then got frustrated because a lot of Wikipedia functionality is not provided out-of-the-box, for example geographic coordinate handling or infoboxes.

That’s so cool! I’ve been an editor on Wikipedia since 2004, but I’ve been on pause for a long time, so I’ve been lost in the last updates.
Anyway, thank you VERY much for all of the creativity you allow us.

Great, Thanks!!! :)
Comment from Fleur on 27 July 2014 at 12:37
Ah, wonderful! :D I’ll start adding templates etc for country infoboxes.
Comment from Fleur on 27 July 2014 at 12:39
Wikis are great
Comment from Fleur on 27 July 2014 at 12:45
@admin Would it be possible for me to get permission to edit “MediaWiki:Common.css” to be able to more easily do the styles for the infobox templates?
Comment from Fleur on 27 July 2014 at 14:33
@admin Also, would it be possible if the wiki could have this extension:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ParserFunctions
as it would greatly aid in the creation of Infoboxes/Templates etc
