The Ogre Stronghold's OgreWiki

original thread ↗

You can find our very own Ogre Kingdoms Wiki here:

http://www.ogrestronghold.com/wiki

Feel free to contribute to this Wiki as much as you like, this is a purely community driven project and my hope is that over time it will grow to be the greatest and largest source of Ogre Kingdoms info on the net :)

I've created a rough set of contents to help get things started, but feel free to modify these or add extra pages if you like (though it's obviously strictly Ogre Kingdoms only).
However, do not regurgitate fluff directly from the Ogre Kingdoms army book, put it in your own words!  The Wiki will also cover unofficial info, such as listings of our own home-made Tribes and the history of the Ogre Stronghold itself to name a few.

If you've never used a Wiki before, it's basically software that allows anyone to add to or edit the contents of web pages to produce high quality collaborative work easily.  
The open nature of Wikis can of course lead to vandalism, but again anyone can roll back the edits to before the vandalism occurred (plus I have the power to ban the vandals, not only from the Wiki but from this forum too, though I hope it'll never come to that).  

Changes made to any page can also be discussed on the Wiki itself between members. Pages such as tactical uses for each unit are probably going to spark hot debate, but please respect your fellow Ogres' opinions and work together as best you can (I know you will :P).

To my knowledge we're the first of the larger Warhammer sites to have our own race dedicated Wiki, so let's lead the way and set a good example! :)

I'll be adding links to the Wiki from the main website soon, until then you can use the link posted above.

Cheers!
Okay, I think we were both just playing around on the wiki at the same time...

I am a complete newcomer to wiki contribution, so I have a few questions:

How do you make a link to the article, rather than just posting it under your heading?

How do you make headings within your own articles?

Otherwise, I think it is an AWESOME idea. The idea of doing that fluff compilation just got a whole lot less daunting...
I knew you'd like it Groghog ;)


Adding a Tribe

Go to this page:
http://www.ogrestronghold.com/wiki/index.php/Unofficial_Tribes

Click 'edit' up at the top of the page.

Type in the name of your Tribe.

Highlight the name and click the internal link button

Save your changes.

Click on the Tribe name (it should appear as a link on the page).

That brings you to a new page edit screen, so just paste your fluff in there and save the page :)
Oh yeah, I noticed you were trying to use the traditional forum code for bold, italics etc, but those won't work on the Wiki so just click the buttons provided at the top of the page when you're formatting your text.

I'm a novice with Wiki software myself, but it doesn't take that long to get the hang of it really :)

The headings button looks like this:
Can I have the permission to add stuff about Reuben Kyte and the Angry Fist Tribe?
Can I have the permission to add stuff about Reuben Kyte and the Angry Fist Tribe?


You don't need permission, go ahead :)

If you have any trouble just report back here, don't worry if you mess something up as anyone here can simply roll back the edits to before it went wrong.
I don't have any of those buttons in my toolbar :(. I checked my profile under 'edit' and the box having those visible is checked, so I assume I have some whacky Java incompatibility or somesuch. (Incidenctally, the reason I tried using the forum style codes was because I saw no formatting buttons, and the standard keyboard shortcuts didn't work).

I guess I'll tinker around a little more and see if I can make it work.
Try this Groghog:

http://help.d2l.arizona.edu/StudentTools/BrowserCheck/BrowserCheck.htm
It indicates that everything is compliant. Java, cookies, etc should all be fine, and my browser is supported. Oh well.

I sneakily found a workaround by copying/pasting the line with my tribe's name and then changing the name of the tribe inside the brackety things. So there is quite a list of unofficial tribes, now.
It's okay, problem sorted.

I changed browser (from Safaris to Firefox) and everything seems to be working fine.

Awesome.
