Introducing: The Brony Music Wiki!

Postby airdropmusic » 26 Mar 2013 03:24

Okay, so here goes.

Over the last few days I've been setting up a Brony Music Wiki. It's a place where you all can post bios, add albums and songs, and educate people about your music. It's basically Wikipedia for brony music.

What's the point of this? Don't we have http://bronymusic.com already?
That's a good point, but take this into account:
  • That site is WordPress-based, and therefore can only be edited by the blog's editors. The advantage of a wiki is that anyone can edit it.
  • It's much easier to update something when you can update it yourself rather than have to jump through hoops to get someone else to update that thing.
  • The MediaWiki layout is much smoother than WordPress, and has infoboxes for sorting out information smoothly.

Examples:
Artists:
Glaze
Wilson Biggs
BassClef
Albums:
Illuminated EP
Serious Luna
Songs:
Avast Your Ass
Looking For Diamonds In Heaven
Labels:
Eleventh Dimension Records
The United Brony Alliance

So what do you guys think? Any ideas? Any reason this is a bad idea?

Hm, I don't know why, but I think I like it. It'd be sorta like browsing wikipedia for something. I didn't even know that eleventh dimension records existed, are they purely pony record label, or do they do non-fandom based music?

Dude, you got itroitnyah to say he likes it! You must be doing something right. xD

But yeah, I really like this idea; it will make finding people and songs a lot easier.

Well, it's set up well and he actually includes lots of information in the description of it, explains stuff, even if I don't find it that useful, it's still pretty good

They do non-pony stuff too. http://11thdimensionrecords.com/ <-- You'll see some pony stuff on there

Thanks! I'll be moderating/updating it regularly, so if you ever do want to use it, go right ahead!

Can I add a page for sites? Was thinking about adding a section for BMD (www.bronymusic.com) ^^

If you plan on seriously taking this further I can add you to the sidebar on BMD aswell for some exposure : P

I can grab a template from Wikipedia and help you with that, if you like. If you don't mind, what's your Skype? (If you have one, that is.) It'd make it easier to ask you stuff about it.

EDIT: Also, no matter how funny it is, let's avoid stuff like this.

Is there anyway you could change the url; because at present its not very intuitive, being your own name.

I would need to buy a hosting plan/a new domain, and I don't have the money at the moment. For now, you'll have to bookmark it, or use http://bit.ly/bronymusicwiki.

It's a cool idea but one thing I'm worried about is there an existing, more populated, and more popular wiki out there.

http://mlpfanart.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_musicians

By all means you can get it to grow and eventually compete but people might want to make sure they are on there first. It is a bit more advanced a template it seems. I think I'm clueless about adding wiki's. I got an account on your site but couldn't find out out to add myself or anything. Any hints on how to create a page with a template? :(

By the way bronymusic.com is blogspot based not wordpress. :P

You don't click an "Add" button, basically just type in a page and if it doesn't exist that it just lets you add it or edit it.

There is no template, however, you can go to someone elses page, click "EDIT" and copy their page's code and paste into your own page, then edit it so that its yours.

Hey everyone, I went ahead and added a page of editing guidelines. Please take some time and check them out if you're planning to make yourself a page or do some editing! :3

I believe the idea is that the more complete we make it, the easier it will be to advertise it, and possibly submit it to places like EqD.

Looks pretty good but the layout is still abit unfinished, though I've sorted out some of the consistencies where not all of the artists' genres were in the respective category. Still, can't wait for the site to grow.

I am completely snagged up on the date collumn for some reason for my entry. I've reviewed my formatting and i don't see anything wrong with it. 2012 kicks off with Voodoopony remix and 2013 kicked off with my SGap remix. If anyone can fix that it would be greatly appreciated.
