    In a bid to bring about consistency in the translations, I have created wiki for some novels and I am looking for create them for all other novels.
    Important: Based on feedback I have received, I will create a user account that anyone can use to create and edit content.
    Username : user
    Password: user


    Currently available wikis:

    Information on Google Docs will have to be migrated there. Any help is welcome.

    Novels like Duke's Daughter and Akuya(Eliza) that have an already established glossary by the author would be the easiest to create a wiki for.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    There will be bonus chapters for novels with active wikis

    I kinda think that Wikias (Fandom) are way easier, in yours you even have to be registered to do anything and looks a bit confusing. Your motive to host one yourself is to become more popular or something like that? Wikias are more easy to handle (Be it edits, design of the wikia, etc, easy.), if you don't know how, the community is big enough to ask something and get a complete answer in less than 1 hour.
    Still, i'm reading The Lazy Sword Master, i'll help if I can. (But I will wait a bit for the site to be updated, it looks too weird right now).

    Thanks.
    I am thinking that creating a demo user account that anyone can use will fix that issue

    I agree, fandom is better. I can go, click the big buttom of edit, put text and save, done. less than 5 mins if I know what I want to add. Infoboxes also helps.
    Also, wikias are used by everyone. Anime, manga, etc.
    Anyways, i'm not reading any of those novels above, but I wish you good luck, it still helps!!!!!

    I was thinking of creating a demo user account to bypass that
    eg
    username: user
    password: user

    Anyone will be able to login and edit with that

    By the way, I tried getting feedback on running a wikia and didn't get much help

    I would argue that Wordpress is simpler to use.
    I will most likely delete the forum part too of all the wikis and just keep it very simple.

    Perfect!!!
    I only follow one wiki (ATG) (the only novel i'm currently reading). You can PM Immortal Sovereign (God of Slaughter) or Nehaust (Against the Gods) or Neveravi (I Shall Seal the Heavens), they have good wikias, not sure but I think they can help.
    Even though I don't read that novel, God of Slaughter's wikia is beautiful.

    It's not hard to do the same for WordPress. There is an actual wiki plugin even. I just felt that it would be too complicated.
    Information is all I need.
    I can just install standard wikipedia software.
    Fandom is customized software, so I can't get that but it will be impossible for me to fix any issues.
    I don't even know how to make a menu on mediawiki software...it's looking like a bad idea haha
    And I was considering a poll to choose between mediawiki software and WordPress.
    I will make a compromise : I will get a front end editing plugin so editing works without the backend

    I am curious about what the wiki should be called for
    I Reincarnated as a Noble Girl Villainess But Why Did It Turn Out This Way(Akuyaku Tensei Dakedo Doushite Kou Natta)
    Akuya.wujigege.com or Eliiza.wujigege.com?

    I will be switching to using mediawiki software.
    I have no idea how to use it and it will look like Wikipedia andave not Fandom(wikia) but it should be better than using WordPress.
    I will leave management to someone who knows how to set things up.
    Cheers!
