StarTrek.website now has a wiki (and mission statement)!

Blackout, 6 months ago

There is nothing up for Risa yet, I’d like to volunteer to fill that page. I’ll fill it up soooo good. What’s a wiki?

Admin, 6 months ago

I changed the wiki registration to open so please go ahead and do whatever (I will regret this won’t I?)

Kind of random, but maybe we could have a place to post out of context Star Trek screencaps? It doesn’t feel quite /c/risa like, but who knows.

Either way I think we should have a community called /c/Q-Continuum even if I have no idea what it should be for. 😅

I’m pretty sure that’s within the rules at c/Risa and c/StarTrek

I’d be willing to offer my services to develop a LCARS inspired theme. Admittedly, my eyes are more on the Lemmy side than the Wiki side, but I’m not picky.

sk, 6 months ago

@Wooster That sounds like an amazing idea! Since it runs on bookstack i would have to learn how to theme it but i would love to help out.

Wooster, 6 months ago

Ditto, to be honest. My background is primarily in theming for PhpBB, Drupal, and Wordpress to an extent. Bookstack is entirely new to me, and the tactics it implements are surprisingly streamlined if, not what I’m specifically used to.

LCARS also presents unique challenges since practically everything can be done in CSS (which presumably makes it a perfect match for bookstack) but you kinda have to trick CSS into doing what you want with LCARS more creative aspects.

But, assuming we get approval, I’d enjoy collaborating. I’ve always done theming solo, so it’d be a new experience.

Admin, 6 months ago

I’m into this idea! What would you guys need from us? I’ve opened registration for the wiki so you can make editor accounts, but the theming seems to be largely on the backend.

Wooster, 6 months ago

We’ll need access to the style sheets, bare minimum. (Some robust systems grant this via admin panel, but normally it’s done via file system/template files.) So SFTP access would be appreciated. Also, do you know if the wiki/Lemmy has a concept of restricting theme use by role?

Thanks again for all your hard work!

I don’t know if this is a good idea or not, but one thing that could be helpful is some sort of Where to Start guide for Star Trek books. I’ve been meaning start reading some but with the amount of Treklit that’s out there it could be nice to have some sort of page with some good places to start/suggestions.

Corgana, 6 months ago

Love this idea

StillPaisleyCat, 6 months ago

There are more production folks on Mastdon

• Aaron Waltke EP Prodigy has an ID here as well as @goodaaron
• Brian Tatosky - vfx supervisor SNW, Disco S5, Picard S3 @virtualbri

Also, a few Treklit authors are on Mastodon:

@DavidMack is quite active, as are

unamccormack@wanderingshop

James Swallow - jswallow@mstdn.social

@daytonward hasn’t posted since February.

Admin, 6 months ago

Nice find, do you want a wiki account with editing permissions?

StillPaisleyCat, 6 months ago

Not sure I have much more to add at present.

I do have a related profile on Mastodon however and follow Trek folks who are active there.

So, if you’d like I could keep filling in for that platform as others join or get active.

S-tier blank Trek meme templates

Well, I have access to every episode of Trek. I’m not great at making new memes but if you want a template re-made or cleaned up then I can definitely do that. Otherwise… @The_Picard_Maneuver I think this is a job for you, my man.

Nah. Make that bigger. Put a header tag in front of it at the bottom. Y’all deserve it for making this place as awesome as it is! This wiki only being an example of it.

Thank you all for being awesome and giving me a new home that I have utterly ruined with memes.

Admin, 6 months ago

Thanks for the kind words, I was just throwing random ideas out there to get juices flowing about wiki potential.

Perhaps we should rename the instance to “Stamets’ no bloody A, B, C or D-tier meme emporium and other minor associated Star Trek communities”

Stamets, 6 months ago

But of course. Y’all deserve it!

As for the name change, I don’t know if that domain is available

negativenull, 6 months ago

BTW: stamets.website is available ;)

If I might gently offer an alternative suggestion for how to fund ST:WEB, check out my post on Medium (link below). It’s the first in a series on my ideas about how to reshape the internet for better human survivability with tools we’ve had in our open-source toolkits for years. tl;dr: reduce the friction between the consumer and the content by focusing on cost and cutting out the ridiculous proliferation of middle-men while eliminating the need for advertising revenue.

And hilariously enough, my wife JUST sent me this post: cbsnews.com/…/irs-delay-600-reporting-form-venmo-…

This means that with my plan, no tax burden… :)

This is awesome!

End0fLine, 6 months ago

This is pretty nifty and sounds like it will be a great resource. Thank you (the plural you) for all of your hard work on the site.

Admin, 6 months ago

Thank you (singular) for helping keep to keep this community vibrant!
