That's awesome!
We could do that!
Well, I obviously can't, because of my bad English. But I could translate your stuff to a Dutch Cold Case wiki, so people in the Netherlands will start watching too. Is that a good idea?
If there's anything I can do to help and it doesn't involve any longpartwritingstuff, just call me. ;D
ETA: I bet it's a lot, a lot of work.

Just to see if I could I've created one on my site. No idea if it will turn out OK, or if people will want to use it, but feel free to give it a go. www.kathryn-morris.co.uk/wikiYou need to register to edit content. I've opened it for anyone to edit for now. I've added a few basic pages. I haven't exactly tested thoroughly so let me know if you have any issues. |

Looks like a good start, Rich, though I wonder if we shouldn't have one attached to the wikia domain (like the Buffy and 24 ones above) just for the sake of recognition. Once it gets up and running, it might be worth sending out a message to everyone on the board letting them know about it and encouraging them to contribute. (I don't want this to turn into one of those sad wikis that only has one or two contributors and scarcely any articles). Edited to add: Here's the steps to go through to create a wikia: www.wikia.com/wiki/Wikia_creation_policyI'll look into starting one tomorrow, assuming there's some interest. |

I think is a good idea.  But, like Khaya, I can't...in English. Sometimes I found wikis with an automatic translation in other languages: horrible, it is as if to write in Italian and then traducessi in English with the translator google: we understand something? (although sometimes I make the same result when I write in English ;D). Rather other wikis have versions in many languages (like Heroes Wiki): those have more success in all of the world. In this board there are people who speak Dutch, French, Spanish, German, Chinese, Italian, Czech...it can be a resource, isn't it? RichE, you are always ahead of its time! |

I submitted a request for a real wikia just now. Hopefully I'll hear back soon on the response.

The wikia was approved. I'll start some stuff on it tomorrow.

Well done toddsmitts.
I've started to add some structure by creating an episode guide. So far it's just a set of links for every episode.
Hopefully others will joining in by adding something to each page.

I've not heard of this concept until now. Sounds good.  |

I've not heard of this concept until now. Sounds good. You know Wikipedia don't you Naj? It's the same thing. Wikipedia is just the biggest and best known Wiki. The temporary one I created on my site is even based on the same software as Wikipedia. |

I didn't know the specifics. So much new stuff. ;D Click on a couple of the links in the OP to see what I'm going for (though maybe not as fancy at first.) Then, by all means, join in. (You should register with wikia first though. Don't worry. It's free.) |
