This thread on KittyCatS.biz will do, for now, but it seems .. hmm .. unseemly? .. to use the official site's forums to talk about the design and maintenance of another site.

This occurred to me because I was thinking about adding a "Rules of Thumb" section where questions which have no firm answer can be put. For example: I want to buy starters, one-at-a-time, and want a breeding pair .. how many should I get before I give up? (5) Or: I need a girl from this pair and all I get are boys .. how many boxes should I let the pair make before I give up? (4).

The question I wanted to ask was: is this a reasonable section or should it not be part of the Wiki? If we had a threaded area, especially if it had voting capabilities, I would ask the question and see what the other contributors to the Wiki thought before proceeding.

Also, having it open to all to edit is OK, for now, but it means someone will need to make regular backups in case someone gets upset and decides to start removing or defacing content.

I've enabled the forums on the wiki, found under the 'on the wiki' tab. I do not want to replace these forums what so ever. So I only plan to have wiki only discussions, for the most part on the wiki.

I've also moved the recent changes to the main page of the wiki, and frankly the only reason I've even continued to use this thread is to bump it so people become more aware of the wiki.

@Tad specifically, I have bumped you up to admin, and I've seen what you've done on and around the forums and have full confidence that you'll do the right thing without the need for approval.

Secondly, to address the comment about vandals attacking posts on the wiki, while that is commonplace on wikipedia, I highly doubt it will be 'much' of an issue on our wiki. However, I will be assigning more people to roles as more people sign up and take action on the wiki, and allow people to lock pages from general editing as needed.

The last thing, anything on a wiki can be reverted. All edits and changes, especially those created and changed by non-admins can be reverted with a click of a button. Even if it wasn't noticed for months. All revisions are saved on a wiki, so I'm not too worried about needing to 'back-up' anything.

Also, just to be blunt, if I do see people harassing others, or defacing things, I'll warn them, but after that I'm just going to ban them from editing. I joke around a lot and love to have fun, but I see all the hard work people are already putting into this wiki, and I will not tolerate others destroying that work.

That being said, some pages that are deemed 'complete' will be protected from editing at some point. (The front page specifically)
