From Supreme Commander Wiki

This is a list of other known Supreme Commander wikis, and my efforts to merge with them.

Contents 1 SupComU 2 SupComWiki 3 SupComTalk 4 SCFanSite 5 SupComDev 6 SupComMod

[edit] SupComU

[1]

This is associated with SupComUniverse.com. It had a catastrophic hack before Supreme Commander was released, and fell into disuse. It still has various technical problems, like broken links and error messages when editing articles. The site still has useful information about mod creation.

Nexus is the person who inherited the SupComU wiki, but he doesn't know how to maintain it. He was actively looking for help. I contacted him on the supcomu forums about merging. He was okay with the idea, but wanted it to be part of SupComU. This defeats the purpose, as Wikia provides the hosting, maintenance and a great deal of anti-vandal and anti-hacker protection.

[edit] SupComWiki

[2]

This wiki had serious performance problems, but those have recently been resolved. It is currently unused.

GrayLensman is apparently the only contributor and owner of SupComWiki wiki. There's an extensive and generally positive conversation about merging at User_talk:TaviRider#Merging_wikis. So far the only content is some very useful guides duplicated from the official GPGNet forums.

[edit] SupComTalk

[3]

The SupComTalk wiki is the most successful of the other wikis, in terms of number of articles and number of contributing users. It has good information about maps, mods and multiplayer, but the unit information and strategy information is not user-friendly. The site isn't being actively promoted as far as I can tell, and there's no community portal to guide new contributors. The policies require login before editing, and are generally more restrictive than this wiki.

Cyde Weys is the founder and one of the sysops of the SupComTalk wiki, and DeadLegion is the other major contributor. I contacted Cyde Weys about merging, and this led to an email conversation. He has significant reservations about Wikia. I tried to address his concerns via email, but I haven't heard back.

[edit] SCFanSite

[4]

The SCFanSite wiki is currently down. Google caches of this site make it appear badly out of date as well.

[edit] SupComDev

[5]

The SupComDev Wiki is specific to creating Supreme Commander mods. There have been no edits in the last 30 days, and existing information is mostly skeletal. I haven't contacted them yet.

[edit] SupComMod

[6]

The SupComMod wiki is one person's notes on creating a Supreme Commander mod. I haven't contacted him yet. There's very little information so far.
