Well, this can be read on the List of Fangames page:
---
2. They are Ace Attorney style games. They do not have to feature characters from the original games(see Banjo: Ace Attorney for an example of this). However, they must be in the Ace Attorney style. For example, an RPG game featuring Phoenix Wright characters would not be accepted.
Now, my game isn't like any other Ace Attorney game and it doesn't involve any cases. It's just a "fighting" game located in a courthouse. Instead of fist fighting, you'll fight with evidence. Because of this, I have no idea can I really make a page for it or not. It has the looks and some ideas of an Ace Attorney game but it really isn't a real AA game...

I mean, I would make a special case, but then I can guarantee if I did, a bit later someone will come along with an actual RPG made in which you use evidence to attack... and then something even further from the original... and so on... it again comes to the question of where exactly to draw the line... >_>

Yeah, I understand. If you pass one, you're going to pass others too... Well, I'm fine with whatever you decide, so just think about what to do. I'm going to release a demo version of it in a few days so maybe that'll help you decide if it's Ace Attorneyish enough to pass the line or not. :P

I know you aren't trying to hurt anyone here. Actually, I'm happy to hear your opinion as that's why I asked about it. I wanted to know if it was acceptable to make a wiki site for the game as it's not really like the DS games although it's made by using the sprites, evidence and backgrounds found in the games. This makes it very tough to determine if it was ok to make a wiki site for it or not. That's why I'm asking and honestly I think it's for the best to arouse this so that we'd know in the future if these type of games were accepted to have their own CaseMaker wiki page.

If anything, maybe there should be a separate wiki for any AA fangame.

Heck, since we don't have one, maybe even make it an Ace Attorney wiki in general, allowing for pages on fanprojects as well.
(Edit: This is just a possibility when moving the site. It's not a change of the rules at this point in time.)

Although CR covers almost everything pretty well, I support this idea. We'd really need an Ace Attorney Wiki.

I also had the idea of making a system where we affiliate with other AA-related wikis, and put up link backs. I should suggest it to Bee and his Super Makoto wiki. Hmm, but until everyone decides what the final product this wiki should be, I don't think I'll be ready to affiliate yet.

CR is a fan site which has all the info on the main site. All the character bios, case descriptions and other similar stuff can be found on the main site. However, I still think a wiki site would be a great idea, especially for what you said: it's organized differently.

I agree. I see more of a problem with the games that have nothing to do with AA but use the same system than the games that don't use the system but are still AA-related (like Nego's), but regardless they are all fangames and should get some spotlight on the wiki. As long as they have something to do with Ace Attorney (whether using the system, characters, or concepts), I don't see any problem with putting them on there as long as we have a way of categorizing them.
I don't know if I agree with it being a general Ace Attorney wiki, simply because of the number of AA/GS fansites there are already and how comprehensive they all are, and doing it all over would be a bit redundant. That said, I certainly wouldn't object to it.

If the casemaker wiki is not the place for this, that still leaves the question of where that place should be. Searching forums is not conducive for this kind of activity. For keeping track of and discussing new works, forums are great; but for other kinds of activity a more stable central place is needed I think.

As for when it'll be done... shouldn't be _too_ far away although I still can't give an exact date.

Can anyone help me find a relatively inexpensive wiki host with domain registration?
Or if anyone else wants to do this on a server they already have, I'm more than happy to assist in transferring the pages over.

Yeh?
I'd be willing to fund it, but we'd need to agree on some things beforehand- namely, the domain name and the material that would be included in it.

YTV FTW But I think it's been more or less agreed that it'll be a general fanproject wiki. That means that we won't have multiple wikis running, and it's easy to find what you want while not being so confusingly overly huge as a full GS wiki.

The "Advanced Wiki" is kinda short on bandwidth...
I was thinking about this one http://www.siteground.com/mediawiki-hosting.htm - it's got a HUGE data transfer, and the cost is relatively low ($10 a month, plus a $25 setup fee - no way I can afford to pay yearly at the moment).
What do you guys think of that domain name?

That one works, though. Or we could go with the obvious, "aceattorneyfanwiki"...
I could also possibly register it through the same provider I use for my own website(VERY low costs - no setup fee, just domain registration(and that's free for the first year, too) and the hosting cost - about $6 a month for 40GB bandwidth)... the only disadvantage being I'd have to set up MediaWiki myself. Does anyone here know if it's relatively simple to set it up? (I do have some basic PHP and MySQL experience)

Or fan things in general, not everything has to be a casemaker or a fangame............

Phoenix Wright Mecha fic project, NickRoll and other non-casemaker/fangames things?
Don't be biased towards the other GREAT things made in the fandom!

However, while an article about Fanfiction itself would be okay, due to the number of them I dunno if I'd want to see an article for each individual piece of fan-fiction. Even more so for fanmade sprites.
Although maybe that's viable too, if they're grouped under their author rather than just having full articles.
(If you don't get what I mean, go to the Phoenix Wright: Trials of Life page on the current wiki, and look at how the pages for each case or character is a subpage of the game's page, rather than a whole seperate page)
Once again, it comes down to the question of where exactly to draw the line.
I'm off to work in a few, when I get back I'll see how this discussion is going - I've found I'm actually quite able to register the site at any given point in time now, so I'm just waiting until a consensus has been reached on the domain name and allowable content. More so the former - the rules on content can always be relaxed at a later date if necessary.
