She does let us in on bits of her personal life every now and then on the author's blog (see the recent stuff about banks, or her grandma's unfortunate death earlier on). Either of us can delete the drawing, but let's wait until Minna gives consensus/thinks the wiki was a horrible idea.

Also, some quick things:
- (Pssst, JoB, one of the English flags you uploaded is the United Kingdom's, not Great Britain's!) I'll change the description later - as far as I know GB doesn't even have a flag.
- Do we need an aRTD wikia, too? Because I don't see how aRTD could fit in the SSSS wikia, and there are a few references to it and even a page on the subject. Maybe later (and I'll probably leave the task of creating it to someone else), hmm?
- Is it just me, or did KenoSarawa stop editing the wikia?

I didn't see any edits from them since that comment you left, Nimphy. I hope we didn't scare them off!  :-[

Also, I wonder if things such as Minna's page, and aRTD, and other "real-life" things might better belong in their own category, since they're kind of... outside of the fictional world of SSSS? We could call it "meta" or something...

N-nuuu, I didn't want to scare them off! Why can't I be nicer to people  :-[  :'(

Yes, and maybe put a warning on top of the page saying that it's not part of the SSSS universe?

I'm sure it's not your fault, Nimphy! D: Sorry if it came off that way!

I'll get right onto those articles though, since I'm somehow not getting any actual work done today anyway.

Guys, what's going on? Sorry if I'm a bit late to the party.

Nothing important, just a new user was making a lot of edits, some of them quite useless, and I apparently scared him away. Any tips to share about the wiki, or maybe some article you'd like to work on?

This thread is called Wiki Discussion and is pinned on top of the board! How could anyone NOT know we have a wiki?

Regardless, I'm not sure that I can contribute much info, so I think I'll just trawl through it to make it better in terms of clarity and readability

Ay, I've been trying to sign up on the wiki but it ain't sending me the confirmation mail. Suggestions?

I looked at the list of users and KenoSarawa last logged in on the 29th, so they still be around... somewhere. For some reason it doesn't show the date/time of their last edit, which is very strange...

Wikia (the site that hosts it) seems to be rather picky with these things; did you check your spam folder? I had a terrible time getting signed up, eventually I had to authenticate with Facebook.

The wiki's running on Wikias servers, I don't consider it likely that they have a long-lasting problem to send out e-mails. Please check your spam folder ... (And it that doesn't turn up anything, we do have both admins reading this thread. ;) )

I can delete the !!! template - let me know about the drawing, and I can use my admin magic to banish it into the ether forever.
I'ld say that deleting it now (and reuploading it later, if Minna agrees) might be the better solution - short of that, it might be hard, but not impossible to find on the wiki. Sorry for the hassle.

I do wonder though, where most of the info on that page came from? Minna seems to be rather reluctant to share personal details...
As Nimphy said, it's basically me remembering stuff Minna herself told us in the comments (both Disqus/ID and the "author's comment"), the blog, etc.. (And I'm not even reading her on Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, or DeviantArt.) Which means that that info will remain available to everyone who takes the time to read through those, whether we summarize part of it in the wiki or not ...

Also, some quick things:
- (Pssst, JoB, one of the English flags you uploaded is the United Kingdom's, not Great Britain's!) I'll change the description later - as far as I know GB doesn't even have a flag.
Oh, bugger. >:( In my defense, the ISO 3166 two-letter code for the nation is "GB" (while the Internet ccTLD is .uk) and Wikipedia does have a page "Flag of Great Britain" showing what I admittedly took for the Union Jack (but it's actually missing the St. Patrick's Cross part) ...

- Do we need an aRTD wikia, too? Because I don't see how aRTD could fit in the SSSS wikia
Heh, coincidence. I created an aRTD page in the SSSS wiki today to satisfy the cross-referencing need. 8)

I don't think that an entire wiki would make sense, though. aRTD is completed, can be read online within a couple hours, as several newcomers confirmed in the SSSS comments, and with almost the entire story taking place in a world of magiiiiiic, creating a wiki to collect hard facts sounds a bit futile ... ;D

- Is it just me, or did KenoSarawa stop editing the wikia?
Looks like it. I had a look at his user pages in the Wikias listed as his "favorite" ones (a list that, as far as I can tell, isn't based on the user in question stating his actual preferences but autogenerated from whatever metrics Wikia collects on someone's activities), he seems to be one for bulk makeovers ...

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.
It was in my "Social" Folder, which is rather weird.

I need to get your opinions on something, fellow wiki editors!

KenoSarawa made nationality-specific categories for Characters like "Dane" and "Icelander" etc... I personally don't see the reason to further subdivide the pages this way, but I wanted to ask what everyone else thinks before I get rid of those categories.

They would fit way petter as part of the country-specific pages.
