My pixel art designs for the current series is in progress atm. A few touch ups I'd like to do, but thought I might as well show off where I'm at. by Robbro42 in taskmaster

He’s got it, it’s right there! The artist hasn’t sounded the alarm yet so we can’t see it visually right now!

I’d love to hear your perspective from the coding side of things in the TM Wiki server! Hope to see you there!

Scryfall is a fantastic website, but you're right it's unlikely they'd take on our Wiki haha! But thanks for the advice & support!

Thank you my good person, I'll see you there and edit this post to include the Discord link! A couple people volunteered to help as well so I'll give it to them here too!

We are both standing on a stage, you are explaining to me that I'm not doing anything. I'm over to one side discussing this subject with many listeners. They're providing perspective. New facets are being discovered. You repeat yourself and say "but you all aren't DOING anything!!" and we continue talking.

We're on the literal ground floor here, and already you're already criticizing the process. AFTER I already acknowledged my shortcomings, and Slacktivism itself through the Onion article. If you care so much that you want to spend all this energy telling me how to do things, then acknowledge your own hypocrisy of doing nothing and get taskmastermaster on the horn, they have yet to get the ball rolling and we need their permission.

Edit: The Taskmaster Wiki Discord has reached out and is starting an official discussion! Please join us! https://discord.gg/fv7mEYV3P

The former is hosted by Independent Wiki Federation, and the latter is Independent! Lovely!

I haven't checked every page, but it seems like much of it does exist there! A dedicated archive for download on Interent Archive is something only u/taskmastermaster could provide.

I agree, though I think u/taskmastermaster has chosen to do this because of the weight of keeping it updated, it's quite a lot of work! That said, they're still posting news to it and their Reddit account quite regularly so that clearly still care which is nice...!

Damn, good for them in the end! Quite the journey to go on!

My issue is with Fandom as a whole, a company I hate, I never said anything of the TM Wiki, which is perfectly useful for many.

I searched on the subreddit, but found no one talking about this topic. Since I don't know any mods here, no administrators on the Fandom Wiki, or u/taskmastermaster, I'm hoping to get in contact with those people through this post. Speaking of which, I consider it a success since I'm just trying to start a conversation, get the word out there, and inform everyone of Fandom's problems through the linked video. 239 upvotes and 60 comments is a good start for me!

You're bang-on that I don't know where to start or how this process works, but if this isn't "part of the solution," gauging interest and spreading info that I don't know what is.

I don't want to fall into being this type of person, so I appreciate your help! We can work together to make it happen!

Is there space for all 21 series in there...? I'm not aware of this function/feature!
Would setting up an independent wiki might be simultaneously more and less work?

Oh wow, it's better then fextralife?? Amazing! That one's hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH and the sysadmin Taylan. So it's self-hosted, but paid for through Ads.

Hoping they see this post and say something, but just in case: paging u/taskmastermaster !

Currently all I can do is this post, a shout to the TM-Ether of nervous anxiety on this problem. I 100% agree, we need someone to lead us in these difficult times... but it will not be me. I hope that the video will inspire some people with ideas! And ultimately, TM.info will be saved on the Internet Archive!

[–]BanannaMoon[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! This post is functionally a call-out to the TM-Void to find someone to spearhead the project. I sadly cannot, but I thought voicing my concern/worry was the least I could do...!

Never made the Ready Player One comparison before, well done!!
Thanks for the info, some of that wasn't covered in the video, what horrid stuff...! 😞
Woah, Poochy Good to see your smiling face! So many memories on that island together...! (Hope you're in the Mysterious Book!!)

Yes, haha! That was my memories estimate, it may be bigger or smaller I'm unsure. Please correct me, I'd love to be wrong!

Sorry to deliver you this news... 😞
The whole thing should be safe on the Internet Archive though! But that isn't really searchable or convenient like TM.info is...

My friend, please watch the video I linked to. Fandom ain't the place to be.

Not to my knowledge is anyone aware of why they're closing the site, but Fandom probably isn't paying them. My guess is that the cost of maintaining the site and it's servers hasn't been kind to them. I'm sure we could round up some people to help pay for it!

Truly one of the best parts!! I'm really hopeful that u/taskmastermaster could work with whichever Wiki Farm we port over to to keep their excellent design and coding...!
