So, i have this massive project from years ago that's prefect for an RP setting. It's all fluff.

The basic idea is that there's more than one Earth. One where say Hitler won WWII or something else happened in the past. And one Earth (referred to as Earth Prime) discovered a way to travel between the Alternate Earths via Steam. Earth Prime along with a few other Earth's set up an Authority to over watch the whole thing called the I.T.A. or Interdimensional Transit Authority. ( https://web.archive.org/web/20061205215 ... frame.html )

I have permission to turn this whole thing into an actual setting for RPG use, however I'm not exactly sure what to start with when it comes to adding to the Wiki. I'm inclined to simply call the project I.T.A and start with what is the ITA and go from there.

It's mainly going to be copying and pasting from the wayback to our wiki here, if you'd like to help me or have a question just post here.

As I said before, I'll help port it all over if you start up a main page for it. If you don't want to be the one to make pages, just let me know what to title the main page of the project and I'll get working on it. From what I've seen, the biggest hurdle will be naming pages since they are usually just continent names, so we'll have to get creative so the titles don't block any other pages from being created.

Those are just the guides, you've also got pages for each Member world of the ITA and related info, i'm thinking a master index covering what the ITA is then a page from there, so i'm thinking :

main page : What is the ITA ( explain that it's setting and post the background info from that page)
Link to info about the ITA itself
link to to quick blurb about the worlds, light stuff with possible links to in depth pages
link to Politics of the ITA
link to page about The Gridney Dimensional Conduit
Index of Member Worlds of the ITA (Each of the following are full Member worlds or Affiliate Member worlds of the Interdimensional Transit Authority.)
Each with it's own page and in some cases subpages that are guides.

Then the misc stuff that I haven't classified yet..the FAQ, The complete list of worlds that have names but most of them don't have any hard background details, CROSSWORLD ROUTES OF THE ITA. Then we can worry about the actual guides. ( this is all stuff that i have in my email )

Dont forget to category all the pages so their easier to find and navigate.

Even if you're just using the abbreviation I suppose ... though I've always been fond of using full names so that later on things arent overlapping.

The only abbreviations i plan to use are ITA ( after it's explained what it is ) and The Gridney Dimensional Conduit and the railroad 's full name.

so i started http://wiki.nogoblinsallowed.com/index.php?title=ITA and i think screwed up right off the bat..so if you wanna fix it go for it I'm gonna need help creating the links to the sub pages and such

Well I meant for the category tag, its best not to abbreviate.

Holy lack of formatting Batman!

Hmmm ... give me a few minutes I reckon.

oh



lol,okay and thanks. I coped it right from the website

EDIT: nice and thank you very much

Okay, so at first glance:

- Fixed 17 typos
- Added sections
- Converted upper case titles to capital case
- Added TOC Right Template
- Added page to a category in which to include all future pages.

Going through and fixing grammar now as well as removing at least a few dozen incorrectly used commas. I'll also add in some page links for use later.

I'd also like to fix the fact that ITA appears 27 times on that page.... talk about redundancies!

Also, consider moving the ministries to their own pages for a better layout, but I'm not going to just yet.

If you think it will look better go for it. Honestly the most I feel comfy with is just coping and pasting the info.

Speaking of which, how is it exactly that you have permission to use this content? From the look of it the site has 15 separate writers each responsible for their own works as well as Intellectual Property and Copywrite warnings in place.

I'm all for helping convert the stuff so that its saved, but if its to be used each guide will need permission from its original author.

I got permission back in 05 from everyone, along as it's credited. But if you'd like and i think i may do this before we go any further is get more recent permission.

I'd definitely see about getting some permissions, in the meanwhile purely informational things can still be linked on the wiki. It just a matter of using someone else's IP where things get gray..

I'm not sure if everyone will still use the same emails as found on the site. But heres a link.

- Added Logo to main page
- Credited 15 writers as well as the guy who seems to have been heading up the site.
- Created page for the GDC which will need to be formatted later.
- Further grammar / spelling fixes.

I'm contacting anyone i can via the yahoo group, that way we may even get folks to join the community lol

EDIT: It may take some time to get an answer,since i'm not sure who is still active. The last post in the group is from 2011 and it's an In character happy birthday message

It's a start, but thats why I also included the page that had the emails directly to the authors not just the fan page.

The authors of all of the stuff are in the group page over at yahoo and I already got a reply, just waiting for one more, so far it's a go with as long as everything is credit naturally lol

Oh yeah? Who responded?
