"A wiki, at its most efficient and most stunning, is not a category. It is not a technology. It is not a notebook. It is not a website. It is not a medium. It is not a community. It is not a place. Rather, it is the sum totality of everything, including all those things; and all those things centre around the dynamic of its essential parts and dimensions: community, content, code, network, atemporal, place." --MeatBall:WikiWay

[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. I don't want to make a blog post about the GNU Wiki License or Wikia's approach to OpenID every time something changes there, but I can do that with a wiki.

[edit] What's going to be on this wiki?

Stuff that's not worth blogging, either because it's trivial or irrelevant to the main purpose of my blog (wikis), and stuff that changes over time and needs to be updated on the wiki.

I'll also get around to adding information on managing a wiki and the archives of my old blog at some point.

Other than that, I have no idea. Feel free to add suggestions.

See Special:Allpages for a list of everything here.

[edit] Why can't I log in?

Login is disabled to deter impersonation of Wikipedia admins. You can still edit without logging in. It's one way of dealing with vandalism.

[edit] How can I contact you?

See Special:Contact for contact details and a contact form. See this blog post on email hacks for details of why I have an odd email address. wiki@nge.la is meant to look like Wikiangela.
