Would it be worthwhile to contribute to this, or try to create something like it? Do you guys like the wiki style?

So, if we added to it, like I've started to, it's not dead.
Simple math.

I'm gonna try to add as much detail on the various ports of Lemmings I've played, and maybe some Lemmings 2 details.
Making our own wiki is pointless if nobody would edit it.
There's already a wiki nobody is editing.
There'd just be two unedited wikis.
So why not just pick up where they left off.
After all, the whole point of a wiki is you contribute.
So...
...contribute.

I'm not a fan of Wikis myself.. but that's because I like things to look nice. Wikis are incredibly difficult to style from my past experience. I think it'd be worth saving a copy of any contributions any of us make to the wiki in case Wikia goes kaput. If we as a forum can make it a proper Lemmings Wiki, I think it'd be a fantastic resource for people looking to find out more about Lemmings!

. Later on we might even be able to add cool stuff that no one has done before, like glitches. Bulbapedia (Pokemon wiki) has awesome pages about glitches and other quirks - I can see a Lemmings wiki having something similar.Just don't go putting all your time into this over other projects

I can see this becoming a great place to get information about Lemmings, if we contribute to it. (Then again, I can equally well see it staying as it is for some time
) Lemmings-related stuff has never been greatly organised, and I think the game deserves better.

Although there are articles on all the levels, they aren't very informative, so it would be good if between us we could add as much information as we can (as well as pictures). I'm doing "The Steel Mines of Kessel"

I hadn't realised the "Level" subheading was meant for the solution to the level -- I will rename this heading "Solutions" since many levels have more than one.

I'm improving the articles on skills right now, and I might add in the L2 ones today as well. I've also expanded the page on Lemmings 3.
Remember, the more people who get on board here, the faster we can build this up and get it looking great. (Or alternatively, the less work each person has to do. Either way, it works out
)

I'm against Wikia on principle. It's run by a bunch of scumbags and the ads WILL get worse.

I knew they were a bit dodgy with their "for-profit"-ness, but I've not heard anything terrible about them previously.

Care to tell us what this wiki was about?
The problem is that Lemmings was a game made back in the early 90's, so only a few people would remember it, yet the Wiki stuff was made too late.
Remember the PSP version? That was made in 2006 and it may have caught some people's attention. But the PSP version was released nearly 4 years ago.

Speak of the devil... they just did. I went there just now and got an ad that doesn't move off the screen when you scroll. I've never had that on Wikia before.
We should protest! Host our own Wiki!
How feasible is that? Do we have enough server space to host one?

This website also has the required MySQL and PHP. Not sure about the other requirements.
