[edit] FAQ

[edit] Why is this wiki here?

It seemed a waste to have hosting that allowed MySQL and PHP and not install anything other than WordPress.

[edit] Why is it called Wikiangela?

Because my name's Angela and I'm obsessed with wikis. The name "Angela" is usually already registered, but WikiAngela never is. I also like the way it includes my company name. Wikiangela.

[edit] Why is the blog separate to the wiki?

Because wikis don't allow trackbacks etc and the RSS is not very useful on wikis. There's not yet any good "bliki" that combines the two. Also, as I've started using both a blog and wiki, I've realised that the two serve quite different purposes that shouldn't be merged. A blog is a purely chronological thing where posts shouldn't be updated later (they re-appear annoyingly in feed readers with no easy way to tell what changed). A wiki, on the other hand, is ideally suited to ongoing posts that change over time as well as lists and collections that can be added to over time.

See Special:Allpages for a list of everything here.

[edit] Why can't I log in?

Login is disabled to deter vandals attempting to impersonate other wiki users. You can still edit without logging in. It's one way of dealing with vandalism.

[edit] How can I contact you?

Please email me at wiki@nge.la (See this blog post on email hacks for details of why I have this email address.)
