Revision as of 04:14, 20 February 2011

This is a wiki regarding Sword of Moonlight and all things related to and or prerequisite to enjoying these things; not including basic existential needs such as food and sleep.


This wiki at en.swordofmoonlight.org resides on the same shared WebFaction host as www.swordofmoonlight.net and www.digitaldevildb.com and a few other minor publicly hosted web ventures. In grand total there are 10GBs of storage available to these enterprises, including the Sword of Moonlight VCS repositories published by Swordofmoonlight.net. Digitaldevildb.com is not currently active in terms of expansion, and is not expected to be so for the foreseeable future.


Should the hosting of media such as images become a burden on this 10GBs of storage, and no charity will step forward to alleviate the situation, it's possible that the images would then be first backed up and finally disabled in terms of displaying until the situation is resolved. Beyond this hypothetical scenario there is probably no other situation which would hinder smooth operation of this wiki.


This is a public domain wiki. Otherwise there is no real charter governing its use or misuse, as is the only underlying principal holding to wiki culture. A wiki is a product of many, and it is owned by all, especially its editors. Should anyone require a copy of this wiki, you will be put on a waiting list, and such a copy within a reasonable period will be made available to you, by whatever means necessary.


The one and only Sysop of en.swordofmoonlight.org is User:Holy Diver. He pays for the host out of pocket (unless you have a better idea) and keeps things running smoothly software wise, and for this is bestowed the honor of choosing the drapes, but otherwise holds no sway over the activity within. His only recourse should things displease him is to lock down the en.swordofmoonlight.org wiki and possibly stop hosting it. In which case any editor may step forward to host the wiki elsewhere as is always an option as is customary per any legitimate wiki.


If the wiki is down for any period of time for any reason, unless otherwise stated, there is a technical reason for being so. Hopefully someone will be working on it.


Vandals and spammers will be twarted as best as is possible. Until someone produces an "X-rated" Sword of Moonlight game there is really no practical reason to deploy explicit language or images within the wiki, especially in the article pages. For the record, it's the wish of the installer that the wiki follow Wikipedia guidelines however those may evolve over time. That said, this is an exhaustive "Sword of Moonlight" wiki, and therefore there is no such thing as "too much information" or "not encyclopedic" as long as something is pertinent. Nevertheless, please strive to organize articles in an easy to digest fashion. Remember to categorize everything so readers can find it.


Furthermore, Swordofmoonlight.net holds the right to scrape this installation of the wiki as it sees fit. And needless to say, the host account administrator may attempt to prevent others from doing so if bandwidth is a problem or the scraper does not have a legitimate enough reason for doing so.


Never forget, a wiki is not a democracy. It's the sum total of its editors' input. For now this page will be locked. If you'd appreciate otherwise, please talk about it or anything else in the Talk:About page.


~Above all else, respect anonymity~


FYI: The return mailing address for swordofmoonlight.org/net websites is holy(@)swordofmoonlight(.)net. Let it be known that this address is not necessarily reliable until it is established that it is otherwise; but may not always be so (Kids, DO NOT put your email address on webpages... if you must encode it in html character entities)

PS: As of this day the wiki is pretty well new. There may be any number of restrictions upon its use until everything is brought into order. If you have any trouble doing anything, please use the talk page of this article for the time being. In the meantime, thanks for being interested!!
