Manny - sorry, didnāt see your post either. Perhaps it didnāt go through as suggested?
Neil - sorry if I offended you. What I was getting out of your first posts was a larger concern about repeating content when now I see the larger point you were driving at. Thanks for the clarification and fair enough. But I will say, EOT does have actual content, itās just presented within the invision boardā¦where do you think queenie has been putting up her comic scans among other things? 
Trust me, they work just as hard as anyone else but perhaps they have different priorities than our sites do. Nothing wrong with that.
Mark - I appreciate your comments, especially about wanting people to actually take the time to check out your own hard work. Itās why I put the blocks on direct linking that I do, so people arenāt just direct linking files and images all day instead of actually visiting the site. Cross-referencing across sites may have some risks, but thereās some benefits too. And maybe we donāt have to link the wiki on our sites anywhere but a links section, but have the wiki linking back to us when appropriate (eg a section on the wiki about animation art would have in its links sections ones pointing to fan sites that elaborated on that, such as the section on this site, etc). That would be, as far as linking out to the wiki from here, up to TCL of course, where, how and how often to do that. Different ideas tossed out there are always subject to personal preferences and debate 
General comments - The wiki would be work, and wouldnāt happen overnight. Sites, in my experience, are never finishedā¦seems like thereās always something to add or new depths to take the same old material. Possibilities are endless.
It would be something that was worked on like anything else over time. As much as everyone talks about time, trust me I know how it goes. I manage my own site, help mod EOT, help run the fandom awards when itās time, and have now offered to help out here when and where I can. I also take part in Voltron fandom in almost an equal level of involvement. That in addition to the typical real life mundania we all have to deal with. And Iām still willing to do this, and Iām rolling the wiki idea around in Voltron fandom too. Half the reason I take on all these projects is because I want to get the information out there, packaged in as many ways as possible - doing what I can to help move the process along. My page might not be everyoneās bag, but I can branch out I figure, and help offer some of my help or knowledge to other sites & projects. I work like a webmaster but think like a fan.
I know the work that goes into a site. But honestly, if I may be honest here, I think sometimes folks take it too seriously. These are just fan sites about a cartoon. Over-analyzing the impact of a new project in certain ways seems odd to me, but of course people are allowed their opinions. If folks donāt have time for it, thatās cool and understandable. Not implying that since I think I can make some time for it, anyone here is obligated. We all have different lives, priorities and levels of time we can dedicate to such trivial pursuits in the grand scheme of life.
Although I think with fan input being so easily done on a wiki, itāll be easier than it seems once launched and it catches on. Itās not like going it alone.
Either way, the tcats wiki will probably be toyed with, and even if few or nobody from TCL wants to take a big part in it, you can always pop by and edit and add like anyone else can as it goes along. Definitely the joy of wiki. So I donāt think anyoneās saying you have to jump in right this instant or be left out forever.
Iām thinking, just put up a skeletal start and let fan interest and input direct it from there. As a fan, and not a webmistress, I know Iād love to have a central reference-like resource with the quick (and hopefully accurate) lowdown along with relevent outside links at a glance. Plus itās something to be added to on the fly, so thereās no waiting for webmasters to update, finish write ups, make corrections, or be disappointed when a page gets abandoned or hits a snag. Itās on the shoulders of no one person so it could, feasibly, outlast us all.
At any rate, so far people are really responding well to the Voltron wiki idea. I guess Iām laid back and donāt mind putting in some work into something uncertainā¦lord knows I put in some sweat on sections of my site over the years that flopped and I ultimately had to wipe the slate clean. It happens. The interest isnāt there you expected or whatever and itās more trouble to maintain than it is to just consider x hours of your life wasted and move on. Iāll let folks know if things go well with the Voltron one and if any methods seem successful on that front. Itās still early days there so let it be the guinea pig!
Also, sorry if my toneās coming off here as pushy or rude. I donāt mean that at all but sometimes itās hard, as one might know, to express yourself on the internet and have the intentions be clear. Just having a hearty discussion with yāall and itās good. It gives a lot to think about.
Thanks for ālisteningā to me, as it were
