I'm curious why you call it a Wiki when you don't allow users to modify or contribute.
That is, after all, what makes a WIKI different from a generic information / fan site.

They dont want people to reveal witchcraft or any other "secrets"

So somebody who wanted to make a "secrets on witchcraft" wiki would need a separate site?

It seems like a wise course of action when there aren't full teams of people dedicated to watching over the wiki to prevent abuse.


Actually the original wiki worked fine until the OP and his group trolled the ***** out of it then opened their own for no reason other than trolling and controlling the flow of information.

Having said that the current wiki is excellent and fairly accurate with the people currently working on it. If anyone wants to add to the wiki then you should send Brona a PM and work something out. I'm fairly sure if you are helping out with the wiki and not trying to be a ******* then he would give you access.


Interesting things to know... but I wasn't asking Why people can't contribute, but why it is called a "wiki" when it clearly isn't one.

IMO, an Actual web page for the game itself, and a good Wiki (that actually is one so that it stays up to date rather than depending on a small group of people to try to keep up with every skill/aspect) would go a long way to increasing the game's popularity.


It's called that because it uses wiki software
