https://175bpm.net/wiki/Main_Page
Major updates:
- Moved from a wiki farm to a VPS (massive improvements in speed and uptime).
- Switched entire site to SSL.
- Added some forums (accessible from the main page).
- Still working on a theme for the site; will set that up as soon as I get it ready.
Feedback and, most importantly, contributions wanted!

What I'd like to be built up in the wiki:
- Detailed information and history on hardcore and its subgenres (UK, breakbeat, breaks, gabber, speedcore, makina, freeform, trancecore, happy, etc.)
- Detailed information and history on hardcore labels
- Detailed information and history on hardcore producers and mastering engineers (e.g. Trixxy would qualify as both)
- Detailed information on hardcore websites and communities (such as this one)
- Production information, information on hardcore production history (the M1, ADAT, etc.), and information on current hardcore production (VSTs, DAWs, etc.).
In a nutshell, a really in-depth look at hardcore in general. If it's related to hardcore, it goes!

Si, it's just a matter of getting their raw .xml properly imported. |

While I'm waiting for the wiki to be moved over to advanced hosting so I can upgrade to MediaWiki 1.18 (currently running 1.16 which is why I can't move Wikipedia templates over), I messed around and created an artist template.

Edit: Label templates!

when creating artists pages, have you considered aliases? Some use more than 1 alias, and some dont even have a "default" aliases. I dont know if using real names (where possible) as main artist page would be best |

Sometimes artists don't have their real names available or prefer to not have them disclosed, so that's why I haven't used their legal names for their page names.
I was thinking that even if they don't have a "default" alias, the alias that they've used the most would be the page title.
Hmm... |

Dutch happy hardcore artists are famous for using multiple names, and even if Scott Brown has used his real name as an artist name, he got a whole horde of aliases |

Maybe if their real name is their most-used "alias", that could be the title. |

Sorry to hear that :( I know that having extensions like AntiBot, ConfirmEdit, Spam Blacklist, Title Blacklist, SimpleAntiSpam, etc. help stave off both spam and some vandalism.
I remember a while back you mentioned that rabid deletionists on Discogs were constantly removing your contributions there. FYI you're free to make them on the wiki (whenever I get the rules written, I'll make sure that it's noted that the wiki leans strongly towards inclusionism). |

vandalism? use CAPTCHA :P |

http://hardcore.wikinet.org/wiki/Portal:Hardware
If anyone has any suggestions for how to set up the category hierarchy, I'm all ears. Right now I have:
1. Hardware
2. Audio Hardware
3. Hardware Mixers
4. Monitors
5. etc...
I imagine there's a better way to categorize it all, though. |

Incomplete software instrument page. |

I've given the site a major face lift. Any thoughts?
Also, I'm working on migrating everything to a different host where I have control over the MediaWiki version and extensions. |
