Adblock works for the intrusive ads but Wikia still owns all the maintainers work.  For example, operative Im spends a month updating the Dynamite comic page and putting lots of work into it.  Dynamite don't like what's been written and contact Wikia.  Wikia can just remove or edit with no explanation or recourse because once anything is on one of their sites Wikia then owns it.  That's not what a wiki should be about.

A while back the folks at Doomworld ran into a similar problem with Wikia changing things for their own ends.  The maintainers eventually migarated to a truly neutral page where information and data is safe.  It makes me feel a LOT better about updating pages.  My work becomes everyone's work - not some faceless corporate entity making money off the back of peoples' free labour...

Anyway, I'm ranting again.  Please don't take offense if you have no problem with Wikia.  Just my personal view.

Ah, I just presumed that you were in on the decision as you seem to be the main maintainer of the wiki.

Thanks for replying.

I'm toying with the idea of helping out.  My knowledge of the series isn't great but I enjoy tweaking formatting, grammar and other menial tasks.  My reticence comes from it being on Wikia.  I just don't like their content ownership rules and the overuse of huge ads.  Both kinda go against the whole wiki philosophy... perhaps I can reconcile this stuff in my old brain...

Still, enough self righteous whinging from me.  You're doing a great job.  The wiki contains so much useful and interesting stuff.  It's really pretty impressive. 

Between your work and this forum it seems Turoks future is in good hands.

Thanks for the replies.

I do have one question though.  I don't mean any offense (don't want to come across all high and mighty!) but is there a reason that you chose Wikia over a less commercial wiki solution?

I know there is the page over at Wikia but I couldn't find another one. 

Is the Wikia page considered the official Turok wiki or is there another I've missed on something like Mediawiki?

Just curious as I'm not a fan of Wikia and their philosophy/business model around wiki information ownership and content creator rights.

There is no official wikia but the one that exists is REALLY good, the best one out there, especially for newcomers.
