I am thinking that if nothing else that Genius players should be allowed long term on the Wiki regardless of post count. There just aren't a whole lot of them to begin with, so having a place for them would be nice.

I am confused...does posting my players to the Wiki 'take up space', moreso than posting them in the forums? I figure simply for navigation and readability, the wiki would be the best place. Although I guess not all users can post there...is that the only issue?

I want to make sure I'm not doing any harm by posting my players and team to the wiki pages.

For now, Characters added to the wiki is okay, even recommended.

With the ability for EVERYONE to post in the wiki, just by adding themselves to the database group Wiki (see this thread for more info), wiki characters are now easier to create than ever.

My ONLY issue is, currently there is no way to perform any searches based on stats or position on the characters we've posted.... which is partially why I'm hesitant to continue using the wiki as a base. I'm supposing, that with some PHP programming magic, a program could use the database system currently in place on the site that can store the stats of every player uploaded and provide the ability to search and sort and browse.

But this is a long-term project... so meanwhile, the Wiki is the place to be (of course, posting to the forum in addition is fine, since the wiki has been known to magically make articles disappear...
