Okay, after a whole day of coding I've created an integrated Wiki for CF. This is a new CF Christian Wiki Project - an attempt to create an authoritative community-based Christian encycopaedia on Christian topics, edited and updated by the general public.

Click on the icon in the header:

or go to the Christian Wiki forum section to take a look.

The CF Christian Wiki works similarly to Wikipedia.

There are 7 categories so far:


Churches & Denominations Wiki (http://www.christianforums.com/f584-churches-denominations-wiki.html)
The Christian Wiki for different churches, congregations and denominations.


Doctrines & Theology Wiki (http://www.christianforums.com/f585-doctrines-theology-wiki.html)
The Christian Wiki for different doctrines and theology.


Christian People Wiki (http://www.christianforums.com/f586-christian-people-wiki.html)
The Christian Wiki for Christian people and matyrs.


Geography & Archaeology Wiki (http://www.christianforums.com/f587-geography-archaeology-wiki.html)
The Christian Wiki for geography and archaeology.


Church History Wiki (http://www.christianforums.com/f588-church-history-wiki.html)
The Christian Wiki for church history.


Apologetics Wiki (http://www.christianforums.com/f589-apologetics-wiki.html)
The Christian Wiki for apologetics including defending the gospel and information about cults.


Miscellaneous Wiki (http://www.christianforums.com/f590-miscellaneous-wiki.html) (1 Viewing)
The Christian Wiki for miscellaneous Christian topics.



At the moment there are NO Wiki Articles yet except for a Test one I created here:
http://www.christianforums.com/t2626023-test.html

This Test article shows you how the system works - you post like you would a normal thread, but you also use 3 new code tags which you can see in the Editor Toolbar at the top next to the Bible Tag image:

http://www3.christianforums.com/images/misc/anchor.gif = [ANCHOR] Tag - this allows you to anchor a heading.

http://www3.christianforums.com/images/misc/jump.gif = [JUMP] Tag - this allows you to create a link to jump to the corresponding anchor of a heading.

http://www3.christianforums.com/images/misc/wiki.gif = [wiki] Tag - you wrap significant terms with this tag so they become links to other Wiki articles via our search engine.

To see an example of how it works, click on Edit at my Test article.

How a Wiki works is this:

1. A member creates a Wiki on a Christian topic.

2. Any other member can then edit the Wiki at any stage to update or correct or improve the Wiki. Any edits will be logged as a new post in the Wiki thread.

At this stage, only Christian members who have been added to the CF Wiki Team can create or edit CF Wikis. If you want to be part of this project, please PM me, and I will add you. I am also looking for someone to be the "coordinator" and to help me set up a team too.

Let's see if we can create a definitive Christian Wiki that can assist other Christians when they are researching Christian topics! :)

Speaking of coding, what do the stars mean following a thread title?

You PM Cadan and he will add you.

I tried to PM but I received a message stating he either isn't accepting or cannot accept PMs. Does this mean the Wiki Team is closed to new members?

Okay, I just found out my mistake. When PMing CaDan earlier I used a link that I saw in the Announcements Forum, and that caused the message I received.

When I PMd CaDan directly, the PM went through normally.

Many thanks to bethdinsmore for the help!!

This is quite interesting!
Is it possible if I can be a part of this also?
