Yes. But the apparent "register to edit" option could have been a ruse to conceal that it's a non-editable marketing ploy. I didn't register to check. -----Original Message----- From: phoebe ayers [mailto:phoebe.wiki@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, September 17, 2006 11:54 AM To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org; ellis.godard@csun.edu Subject: Re: [Air-l] Wiki Fiction On 9/15/06, Ellis Godard <egodard@csun.edu> wrote: This is probably olds (not news) to at least some of you, but there's a fairly comprehensive Wiki site devoted to the story behind the television show Lost, and to ongoing associated fiction, much (though not all) as if it were nonfiction. http://lostpedia.com/wiki/ Editing requires a login (which I didn't register for), so perhaps it's not Wiki-powered just Wiki-in-appearance, but it still made we wonder what other creative applications of Wiki might exist. -eg A quick technical note: that site is based on MediaWiki, and is certainly a wiki -- it simply requires registration before editing, which is not uncommon. There is nothing in the "wiki" concept that requires *anonymous* editing to be possible :) Whether to require registration or not, or restrict editing to a specific user group, or have some finer distinctions such as not allowing anonymous editors to create new pages etc, is typically something that you can set up when administering a wiki. See the sites listed at Wikia: http://www.wikia.com/ for more wiki-powered fan-sites (Star Trek, etc), sites on various specific topics, etc. etc. best, phoebe -- phoebe ayers | brassratgirl /at/ gmail.com | "Reading, almost as much as breathing, is our essential function." -- Alberto Manguel
