This looks like a great request. Would the owner of the current wiki be

willing to link to this new one (perhaps when it is more developed)?

 

Regards,

i'd like to know that i have your explicit blessing fred. the scratchpad for this is at http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Boardsofcanada

I'm afraid to say that this is redundant now as I've updated my Mediawiki from 1.4.9 up till 1.6.8 and included two anti-spam extensions.

My wiki is back in full effect without spambots... at least almost... just saw another one... gonna look into it a bit further now.

So at the moment I am not really sure about the WiKi yet...

let me know. if you can get image uploading enabled and sort the spam, i can get stuck into your wiki instead.

* spam is sorted

* image uploading won't work due to safety restrictions on the php install

the last thing i want is to get into a this-wiki vs that-wiki discussion

but the wikia site allows uploading of images. maybe it might be a better idea?

also i have no desire to take ownership or get all sysoppy on people. i'm doing this for the kids. having two BoC wikis would be sort of pointless.
