WikiWiki DoomDoom

Heh, that's a great idea.

Everytime I hear the word "spearheaded", it reminds me of the Simpsons...

Yay this looks like it has great potential :D

I'm surprised there wasn't one already.

Suprising to learn that the caco was just a D&D ripoff. Sort of sad, too.

That's the sort of trivia we hope to cover in full... (whatever else you might know -- contribute!)

Definitely a good idea. Can't wait til this has matured.

but, but , but, if you cover all this trivia, what are people going top talk about in these forums?

Actually, it's a very good idea :)

Don't forget
-The DOOM alphas
-The Lost Episodes of DOOM
-Master Levels for DOOM 2
-Pertidion's gate
-Hell2pay
-Hacx

You can write about them yourself :)

-The Lost Episodes of DOOM

The what? I know about the Lost Episodes of Spear of Destiny, but DOOM? :)

Lost Episodes

The page that is from, The Page of Doom, would be quite a handy reference for this wiki.

Heh, the big chiefs of Wikipedia are here.

Cool. I'm sure I'll find something to contribute with...

Isn't this forum where of a lot of such trivia is pointed out and discussed in the first place? (And often rehashed at six-monthly intervals.) The particular example referred to has been discussed more than once here.

I wasn't actually being serious.

Meh I've been adding stuff all day. I added lists of Cheat codes, weapons, ammo, items, and editor lists, all properly categorized. I also created an Easter Egg Page, to put Doom easter eggs.

Lost Episodes

Sounds interesting (although it probably mostly has collector's value only today).

Super Sonic DOOM section added, yet it lacks much info right now:

Now we can all wait for dwforums4.wad: The Doom Wiki

There would need to be some revert wars first.

Can we transwiki the Wikipedia Doom content into DoomWiki, or is that a nono?

You can, but it might not be appropriate in all cases. The writing in the Wikipedia articles assumes a less knowledgeable audience.

In particular, I think importing overview articles (such as the main Doom article) would be a bad idea. It's better to let structure grow as we add information.

http://doom.wikicities.com/index.php/Special:Search?search=Imp&go=Go -- fix it. :)

heh I just realized the title is like ChikaChicka BoomBoom :/ I used to love that book.
