Wer erstellt eigentlich noch Inhalte, wenn niemand sie mehr besucht?
Wenn #KI und #Suchmaschinen Antworten direkt ausspielen, ohne dass Nutzer die ursprünglichen Seiten anklicken - was passiert dann mit #Blogs, #Wikis und unabhängigen #Websites?
Wissen entsteht nicht aus dem Nichts. Es braucht Menschen, die schreiben, recherchieren, teilen. Wenn aber Sichtbarkeit und Traffic ausbleiben, wer hat noch den Anreiz, qualitativ hochwertige Inhalte zu produzieren?

A lot of people here probably already know about it, but for anyone who doesn't, https://setlist.fm is seriously one of the coolest websites ever. Plug in any artist, their most recent shows and setlists pop up- it's a wiki and it's all user edited. It's just an incredibly useful resource and research tool I use all the time alongside https://discogs.com and https://metal-archives.com.
Hurry to submit a talk at the MediaWiki Users and Developers Workshop

📢 Are you and your team speaking the same language in #ProjectManagement?
We’ve created a practical terminology guide to help teams align — covering #milestones, #dependencies, #relations, #wikis, and more.
It’s a great resource for onboarding or brushing up.

Awhile ago, I announced a plan to convert Pandora's Tale Wiki from MediaWiki to git. The main reasons are
1) In an era of increasing censorship, a wiki about queerness and fighting fascism should be available in a format that is easy to edit offline.
2) I think it will be easier to maintain.
Today, I have taken the first public step in that process. You can see a git-ified version of the wiki here:
https://git.average.name/1something/PTW
Hosting is provided by @avghelper@fosstodon.org : That's right, a Helper is hosting the wiki about Helpers. She might, or might not, provide our permanent home.
Two things need to happen before I can declare this version of PTW the "main" one. First, I need to verify that this format is actually easier to maintain. That means waiting for @comicsbyxan@transfem.social to release a new chapter so I can see how hard it is to update.
Second, (almost?) every page currently has formatting errors due to the conversion. I need to fix all of them.
Until I complete both of those steps, the MediaWiki version will remain at https://pandorastale.wiki .

Tubefilter: Fan wikis are encyclopedias of unpaid passion. BloxBase is taking “pro” approach with Roblox. . “BloxBase considers itself a professional wiki where, instead of anyone on the net being able to add and modify articles, it’ll send all text content through the editorial team to be ‘triple-checked’ for accuracy.”
@homlett We've been working enthusiastically on the basis of a sharing culture since the 2000s, when #blogs and #wikis became a thing. Then #socialnetworks emerged.
That basic assumption doesn't work anymore. The social aspect of the #internet is being exploited for various purposes.
What was once a grassroots initiative is now being used against us. It is our own content that is being sold back to us in the form of #ai services.
But if we stop sharing, it'll just cause more problems.
The always awesome Veronica @vkc has a new video. This one is on #vimwiki, which is a great way of taking notes and such. I loves #wikis so much! Anyway, heres the link: https://tinkerbetter.tube/w/6hrXmYYNMjBGJnSE8iJ6NM
Apropos* Wikis. Mir fällt gerade (wieder) ein, wie geil ich das "The GitLab Handbook" (https://handbook.gitlab.com) finde.
Das ist kein Handbuch zum Produkt, sondern "The handbook was our way of ensuring that all of our company information was accessible to everyone regardless of when they became part of the team." (About the Handbook)
Ich mag auch das How we use the guide every day sehr: https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/about/handbook-usage/#how-we-use-the-guide-every-day
Why #Wikis Are a #UsefulTool to Protect #OnlineInformation From Being ‘Disappeared’
Liebe Lehrkräfte und #OER Fans! Am Montag findet das nächste #ZUMinar statt. THEMA: Unterricht und freies Bildungsmaterial über #Wikis verfügbar machen. Beispiel: #Lernpfad 500 Jahre Bauernkrieg mit Matthias Scharwies! #OERde #OE RNS #Moodle #OER #freieBildung #H5P #BlueLZ #FediLZ #InstaLZ
I like the idea of independent #wikis as those are great as improving tutorials, manuals, and howto resources. Please check M-Net #Arbornet wiki:

Today, I am announcing plans for the biggest change to Pandora's Tale Wiki since its founding: I am going to port the wiki away from MediaWiki and convert it to a git repository of text files. This conversion process may not be easy, but it is necessary. If we continue down the current path, I am going to burn out and will not be able to continue maintaining the wiki. I have described the reasons for the change in the article for Project: Texts About Pandora
https://pandorastale.wiki/wiki/Pandora%27s_Tale_Wiki:Texts_About_Pandora#Hosting_availability
(Yes, the name of the article is a pun on the pages "Texts from Pandora" and "Texts from Pandora 2".)

https://comicsbyxan.com/comic/texts-from-pandora-2/
There are still some things I need to determine.
1) First and most significantly, I have to figure out how to convert a MediaWiki instance into a git repository. I've found several scripts which claim to do it, but they all seem to have significant drawbacks in addition to being unmaintained. I would greatly appreciate advice from computer creatures in this regard.
2) Then I have to decide on the text format: Plaintext, gemtext, or markdown? There are ups and downs to each of them, though I'm not as worried since I believe it might be possible to convert between them later.
3) Finally I have to decide on the hosting software and platform if I want anyone else to be able to read it. Gitlab, Forgejo, sourcehut, or something else?
Once I answer these questions, I am going to move Pandora's Tale Wiki to a git repository, and then I will ask Miraheze to shut down their copy of the wiki. I don't know how long this process will take, but I believe it's the only way I can continue the wiki.

My thought process:
1) I have a list of wikis about webcomics.
2)I should do weird internet searches to find more wikis for the list!
3)My searches turn up some interesting sites, some of which might be eligible for the list.
4)Ugh eww gross, the search also turned up a really horrible wiki.
5)Lemme go back to my fediverse account to report this wiki for possible defera---
6)Wait, hold on, MediaWiki isn't federated. There's no need to fediblock a wiki. I'll just try to forget I saw it.

Wisst Ihr, wie wir mit #Digitalisierung riesig vorwärts machen könnten?
Indem wir endlich aufhören, Word, Excel und PDFs zu verwenden, und stattdessen #Websites, #Wikis, #Markdown & #Links dazwischen einsetzen. Gibts alles schon. Auch für Unternehmen.

Is the Syria-Jordan border straight or wiggly? An @openstreetmap user reckons the latter and that has propagated through to many media that use OSM.

Refreshing my #introduction! Hi, I'm enchantedsleeper: fic writer, sometime vidder, and lover of #smallfandoms and #drabbles.
I'm into many fandoms (and never really leave any behind), but my current homes are The Strange Case of Starship Iris, Fence, Questionable Content, and Spider-Verse. More broadly, I love comics, AI/robot characters, cyberpunk, and critiques of big tech. I also dabble in the #smallweb & edit #wikis when I find the time.
If any of these are also your jam, come say hi!
