What is this UOCWiki?
We are currently developing a framework for UO Community Wiki (UOCWiki.org) that lets Ultima Online Player Communities record their Shard specific information. This is designed for Encyclopedic information that is unique to a specific UO Shard Community. We are not designing this to replace other UO online references, forums, calendars, guild web sites, or other fan sites.
We are in the process of installing and testing the UOCWiki.org program on the server that also hosts UO Forums. The installation is MediaWiki that is also used for Wikipedia. We are venturing to have most of the same capabilities, templates, and methods that Wikipedia uses.
Our design is intended to have separate Wikis for each UO Shard to document their Shard's history, biographies, houses, events, etc. Yet every user will be able to log in just once, and access all the UOCWiki Shard wikis. Our first design is for Chesapeake Shard, but since some testing is already done, we will likely create several Shard wikis at the same time.
Our management plan intends to have a "survivorship plan" with three years of funding to keep the UOCWiki.org system operating if certain key individuals depart this effort. Therefore, a board of trustees will be in place.
This is being designed as a not-for-profit venture.
You can help too!
This is designed from the ground up as a Community Effort!! This means there's something for everyone.
- Shard, guild, and community leaders - Help lead and motivate your colleagues to research, gather, and publish information.
- Shard Reporters - Help conduct interviews of players and publish lore, legends and event information.
- All the Players - Help by adding your character biographies, tactics for combat, establishment information, event ideas and rules, etc., etc., etc.
- Everyone - Help by documenting over 10 years of your and your friends' histories in Ultima Online.
- Server and Web-based programming specialists - Help maintain and improve UOCWiki.org as system administrators.
