A big project is in the works, and we are looking for participants:
The Ultima Wiki-City, called "The Codex of Editable Wisdom"!
Build on the ruins of the deceased Lazarus Wikicity, we want to build the best information archive for all aspects of the whole series.
http://u5lazarus.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
As to say it in the words of our Webmaster and founder Red-Cherry Dragon:
| quote: |
As far as I know, there's no great big Ultima wiki that would a) be actually reasonably maintained and b) would actually be edited a lot.
So, my idea was to start one.
I contacted Wikia about this. They recommended to take a look at the Ultima V Lazarus wiki hosted at Wikia, which was pretty much stalled, and start expanding that and turn that into a generic Ultima wiki. So... um... I started doing that. They handed me admin bit and away I went. I feel a bit odd about hijacking a whole wiki, but I guess no one minds if this is done properly. =)
I have this grand vision of something like the Doom wiki (http://doom.wikia.com/); there's tons of interesting facts about the game series that would be extremely fun to catalogue.
At the moment, the project has not really gone much father than me changing the main page and wiki logo, recategorising (or, rather, categorising in first place) the Lazarus material, and bringing in a few Wikipedia articles. So, there's not really all that much trumpeting to be done.
But just for the sake of interest, if there's folks who would like to give me a hand with this, the wiki is here:
http://u5lazarus.wikia.com/
We'll move the wiki to "ultima.wikia.com" later when this gets off the ground. =) |
Come on board, and us to build this project!

I'll help out, once my brain wakes up enough to get me in a writing mood. I'll probably check for errors in what is there first though. Like whoever wrote the Dupre one actually thought he was working for Brommer :p

Some news:
The Codex of Editable Wisdom has expanded greatly since my last massage. We also now have a History section, which tries to look like the ones like in the Book of Lore or the Compendium, complete with illustrations and including both Ultima Underworlds.
Since it is Britannia's history, it leaves out Pagan, and it doesn't include Ascension for obvious reasons.
see it here: http://u5lazarus.wikia.com/wiki/History_of_Britannia
I hope it looks good.
Btw. the whole look of the Wikicity is made a little more like the Book of Lore. F.e. the Wepons and Armour pages, or the Bestiary.
Of course, help is still very much welcome.
