Maki: Undo revision 5983 by Maki (talk)

Welcome to QhimmWiki!

This wiki has been set up in the hopes of becoming a more efficient means of storing the Qhimm.com knowledge base. The plan is to store relevant information on things such as:
<ul>
<li>[[FF1NES|Final Fantasy I for the NES]]
<li>[[FF7NES|Final Fantasy VII for the NES]]
<li>[[FF7|Final Fantasy VII]]
<li>[[FF7:CC|Final Fantasy VII:Crisis Core]]
<li>[[FF8|Final Fantasy VIII]]
<li>[[FF9|Final Fantasy IX]]
<li>[[FF10|Final Fantasy X]]
<li>[[FF12|Final Fantasy XII]]
<li>[[CC|Chrono Cross]]
<li>[[CT|Chrono Trigger]]
<li>[[Xeno|Xenogears]]
<li>[[Dissidia|Dissidia]]
<li>[[Another Mind|Another Mind]] (FMV Visual Novel by Squaresoft)
<li>[[PSX|Sony PlayStation]]
<li>[[PS2|Sony PlayStation 2]]
<li>[[PS3|Sony PlayStation 3]]
<li>[[PSP|Sony PSP]]
</ul>

Information on FF7 should thus go into a subpage of [[FF7]], like [[FF7/Field/Script]]. I'm considering having tech-support information stored here as well, though maybe it too should get its own hierarchy, separate from the tech information in FF7/FF8? Suggestions are welcome [[Talk:Main page|here]].

For now, I've started an example page on the [[PSX/TIM file|PSX TIM format]]; check it out to see what I envision of this site. :)

Even though this is a wiki, for now registration and anonymous contributions have been deactivated in an effort to better control the quality and structure of initial contributions. If you feel you have solid information to contribute, drop Qhimm a note and you'll (probably) get an account. Also, further discussion on the details of how to structure the content is to be expected. For now, a subpage-oriented design is favored. Also, since this is a reasonably fresh install I haven't had time to write a huge amount of documentation for it. As a result, ''many of the help links lead to empty pages''.

Contributors are encouraged to add their user links to the [[QhimmWiki:Community Portal]].
