^ Five knows what's up.
Yeah, I think that, as long as the wiki sticks to factual information, it should be fine. The issue is when it comes to things which are a matter of opinion. And even there, I'm willing to take a neutral viewpoint, provided everyone else is too. But, the issue is whether we can agree on what is "neutral"....
I'm sure character pages would be fine. Just stick to a format that nobody can argue isn't totally objective. Like, a translation of their official profiles or something.
As long as there are no difficulties with accessibility, a wiki would flourish, IMO. The thing with Milbunk's wiki was that only people who know about it in the first place would likely find it. If the forum has a highly-visible link to the wiki, such a problem could be avoided.
...well, a great ton of us seem to be pessimistic about it, but I say screw that.
Yes all the way!
Integration!?
*Slams fist on the table.*
NOT ON MY WATCH!
Segregation now!
Segregation tomorrow!
Segregation forever!
*Looks around.*
Sorry, I've just always wanted to say that.
On topic, I don't think a wiki is a bad idea.
It's served us well so far!
See, the problem is that you call that a "troll", but for some people (like me, for example) that is their honest and sincere interpretation. It would all end up degenerating into seeing which interpretation is more canonical, and then it would end in a flame war.
Sincerely, seeing how BL is right now and the quantity of unsavory stuff going everywhere with a lot of users, I don't think it is the correct time to implement the wiki. It could be very helpful, yes, but as things are right now, it is only going to end pretty badly.

I think you're underestimating the potential of BL members to act like mature adults when the time calls for it, Race.
That happens very, very rarely, though, Bloble.

I choose to believe in BL, even if it doesn't believe in me.
Oh come on, for the most part the userbase is totally civil...
[04:55] Lianru: i3uster is actuallly quite cute
Which kind of civil? Civil strife or civil war?
We're pretty chill. A wiki filled with non-subjective material would be more helpful than harmful, and having it as a tab accessible from BL itself would actually make people visit it.
Of course, we'd need to actually promote it, much more so than Mil's done with his own project. :P

[11:20:46 AM] GlowStiks: lucina is supes attractive
[12:40] Lace: lucina is amazing
[12:40] Neir: lucina is pretty much flawless
Basically what Five said.
Honestly, the only issue for the Wiki if we're going by civility would be the characters themselves, as everyone has subjective views of them. The only real win-win way would be to have a very general description of the characters and simply keep it that way, otherwise you're going to end up with an edit war going on.
That, or get Mil to promote his wiki a little more so it becomes common knowledge.
It was the same thing with the banners, people avoiding a change for the better to avoid butthurt.
That's not how we get nice things.
Though I stand by my "No" unless we get people who become dedicated wiki staff.

Actually, it's not even that I'm calling it "trolling". The problem is that, as you say, both sides believe they are right. In that case, however, the correct thing to do is to include neither viewpoint (or, alternately, both).
Exactly.
The key word there is non-subjective. As long as people don't start claiming that Sakura is "objectively" evil, it won't be a problem....

She is objectively a murderer. Enjoy your opinion.
