I've wanted a site for awhile that had good cross-reference ability and I have some history with MediaWiki.  This past week I built a temporary server, moved everything to it, tested out the basic setups, got SSL working via CertBot, cleaned up some very badly handled apache configurations, then rebuilt the original server, migrated everything back, then started installing MediaWiki.  I haven't done this for awhile and it is always interesting to see what has changed for install procedures, packages, etc.
	

My first test article was [[The Ballad Of Ol' Roy]] and after that I've been working on migrating the old news posts and figuring out what skin I want to use.  Mobile sites weren't an issue back in the day!


I've been looking around The Wayback Machine and noting all the sites that have gone by the wayside.  There's a lot of content (series, fanfic, etc) that I am debating on importing into this site.  I'll look for some feedback on this and if it happens, I'll memorialize the source.}}
