#transcatgirls — Public Fediverse posts

The future of @[email protected] seems less certain than ever to me. Though I had hoped to put this off for a few more months, I think it's time I publicly discuss possible migration paths.

I have officially submitted an application to Grifkuba, run by the awesome @[email protected] . That doesn't mean Grifkuba is definitely going to be our permanent home: even if we are accepted I am still open to considering other options.

With that said, there *aren't* many options for hosting wikis about queer non-game media, and all other possible hosts I've evaluated have some very large drawback. So I really do hope Grifkuba works out for us.

Other possibilities I've considered but do not think are appropriate include:
a)Amelia's proposed transfem.org wiki hosting: This sounds awesome but it doesn't actually exist yet.

b)ShoutWiki: No https and wouldn't allow us to keep our domain.

c)WikiTide: Just as unstable as Miraheze and might be merging with Miraheze, so it's not really an alternative.

d)Amazing Wikis: The technology looks nice, but reading their code of conduct I see a lot of right-wing dogwhistles, and interpreted strictly it would require us to allow transphobes to participate. I don't believe this host is safe for trans catfolk, which is our audience.

e)MyWikis: Very expensive if we want to keep our domain, and even more expensive to have decent customization.

f)Wiki.gg or AXBY: Only allow wikis about video games.

g)Self-hosting MediaWiki is beyond my capabilities as a non-tech person.

If we are fortunate enough to move to Grifkuba, I'm hoping the move can happen after IWJ. That means Miraheze needs to survive for one more month. #PandorasTale #PandorasTaleWiki #TransCatGirls #Webcomics #MediaWiki #Wiki #Miraheze #IndependentWikiJam #independentWikiJam2024 #IWJ #IWJ2024 #Grifkuba #GrifkubaWikis

Should we move from our current subdomain of Miraheze to our own domain? Please give your feedback, either here or on the discussion page:
https://pandorastale.miraheze.org/wiki/Pandora%27s_Tale_Wiki:Moving_to_a_Custom_Domain

Note: This question is about changing our URL while continuing to use Miraheze as a host. If we do consider moving away from Miraheze, it will be a separate discussion.

Next week, Xan will release the first full new chapter since the founding of PTW. We will strive to privide comprehensive coverage.

RE: https://mastodon.art/users/comicsbyxan/statuses/111077874782875051

Today is the one year anniversary of Pandora's Tale Wiki!

I started this project as a way to more easily update the list of characters, in the hope that I could eventually use it for a Volume 2 Character Tournament. The list of characters was the first article I created:
https://pandorastale.miraheze.org/wiki/Characters

In the past year, PTW has grown to include 64 main-namespace articles, and 431 pages in total. Just in the past two weeks, we broke free of Fandom.

What comes next for Pandora's Tale Wiki? There are always more tasks to complete to make PTW a better reference:
https://pandorastale.miraheze.org/wiki/Pandora%27s_Tale_Wiki:Things_to_Do

Currently Miraheze works as a host, and they are much better than Fandom ever was. However, there is still some uncertainty regarding their future. Miraheze is in the process of transitioning to a new board and a new organization. I will be monitoring the situation to see if we will need to move again. I hope any future moves will be easier, since we are now using stock MediaWiki.

Beyond changes to the wiki content and host, I will be considering when and if it will be best to get our own domain.

There has been almost no new Pandora's Tale canon content in the past year: the only new source material since the wiki launched are six one-panel previews Xan posted on her social media, handily collected on the article for Chapter Nine:
https://pandorastale.miraheze.org/wiki/Chapter_Nine

The lack of new canon puts us in a position a little bit like that of WikiBound, which was founded in 2010 and has had no new Earthbound canon since then. However, we have much less material to document than the WikiBound editors. Hence, continued expansion of Pandora's Tale Wiki will depend partly on whether Xan provides us with Chapter Nine and beyond.

And as always, Pandora's Tale Wiki is a wiki that anyone can edit. If you're a fan, you are welcome to contribute.

Let's have a great year two!
