The Archives - An Aurochs Special Project

So the Aurochs, while working hard as a duel and tffa competition team representing the JA, sometimes mess around with little side projects that we think might benefit JK3. Our latest brainstorm: The Archives.

Remember the Archives from the movies? That huge blueish hall that had every piece of information except for a little planet called Kamino? The "complete" database of information about everything in the universe? Yeah we'd like to think that's what we're making but we are no where close to it. But it could be...

The Archives is a wiki. I'm sure you all have used Wikipedia at some point. A wiki allows a database of information to be collected and contributed to by everyone. So instead of one person or a small group writing just a little bit at a time, the entire community can pitch in! Wikis do work and can be an incredible tool to anyone looking for information on a subject that might not be available elsewhere.

The Archives is in it's infancy. There is very little written so far because of how short it's exsisted and how few writers there are at the moment. Also, the Aurochs have written in some little bits of humor during the testing phase that can be found here and there. Overall though, the Archives is expanding very quickly and is starting to collect some very interesting information! We want to invite all of you to help to. Just sign up as a member, then when you find something you want to add to or a subject you're knowledgable about, click the "edit" tab and get to it! We ask that you use common sense when writing and on controversial topics you keep a state of neutrality.

So without further ado, The Archives: http://archives.thejediacademy.net!

And as some examples, here are some Archives articles:
Jedi Academy Knight
Bio: 3th
DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol
The Bladeworks Network

Your profile is viewable by clicking that link, or by clicking a link on the Wiki that directs to your profile.

If someone mentions your name in an article for some reason, he can link it to your User page, and than people that click on it will go there.

If you edit something, your name will show up behind the edit, and that link will also redirect people to your User page.

We went ahead and took all vanity profiles out of the Biographies category.

Sazabi, I moved your profile to your User:Sazabi page (http://archives.theaurochs.net/index.php/User:Sazabi

Those tags are put on pages that are either jokes or someone's "profile". The Archives is trying to build biographies on people and not comical profiles. These tags help the people working on the Archives to keep track of pages that aren't where they should be yet.

It's really our own fault because we didn't set a good example. When we were testing we had some fun making silly bios on eachother and haven't fixed them all yet.

'Who's scruffy-lookin'?

This page has non-factual or comical elements. While it is amusing, it doesn't serve to build the Archives into an encyclopedia.

Please remove this tag when this page has reached proper form for the Archives. If this is an attempt to create a profile for someone, please remove it and put it at User:TheirName. The Archives are only supposed to have biographies of people, not personal profiles. '

now please someone disable this lol

Awesome idea, I'll definitly help, already work on maintaining a wiki for another game I play, and it's lots of fun!

*EDIT* Is the wiki limited to JK:JA stuff, or what?

Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??"
