UPDATE:
It seems that the wiki has been pretty neglected by everyone (including myself!). I hope there's still interest for this here. Anyway I created a list with a few suggestions of pages that need some editing work doing to them (which anyone can do!) here.

I would love to see this thing take off again and I hope you can create a free wikia account and join in!

Aw man, I forgot about this, I just noticed that I have 3 votes. Who voted for me though.

That has happened to me aswell... I don't think the Facebook idea would be good though, since some people don't have facebook.

OOOOHHHHH... I feel like a idiot now.

You should be able to revert the edits, it's a pain though.

The vandal responsible was BiM forum member Generalned. I've permanently banned him from BricksInMotion, and whoever curates this wiki should probably do the same with the IP (114.76.201.182 at the time of the vandalism, though obviously he could change it at some point.)

Thank you to Squash for thinking to check the IP with our database.

edit: everything seems to be in order now, it looks like me and this guy have reverted all the damage.

Thanks a lot for getting this cleared up so quickly, Smeagol. Also that Obi guy, he was really helpful. I'm really sorry about this, guys, but at least it seems we were able to recover everything.

On a happier note, I've been going through the Software page and creating pages for pieces of software that don't currently have one, and I would appreciate it if someone could help me fill out some of these pages with more information.

Okay, so in order to allow people to vote for more than one person/film at a time, the lists to nominate people/films for the brickfilmer and films directories are now two separate threads on the wiki's built in forum. The same rules as before  apply, you just have to now click the 'thumbs up' symbol next to people/films you want to vote for rather then 'vote up' them.

The nomination page for the films directory is here:
http://brickfilming.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:2481

And the one for individual brickfilmers is now here:
http://brickfilming.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:2475

I have a 'radical' proposal for the films directory:
Would it be a good idea to allow anyone to a create a page about any film they have made themselves, if they include the things suggested for film pages on the wiki's guidelines page, cite some sources, have an infobox with an image and write at least 200 words?

The reason I think there should be a minimum word count is to prevent a massive influx of stub (very short and not useful) pages  and also to encourage people to only create pages about films that they put work into and that there is actually stuff to write about!

The current criteria and voting system for film pages would still apply if you wanted to create a page about someone else's film.

I think that doing this would allow all brickfilmers to have a place to share information about how their brickfilms were made in detail.

So, does anyone else think that allowing people to create pages about their own films (if they are of a certain standard) without having to be voted would be a good idea?

UPDATE:

I thought I'd just I would just inform everyone on the progress of the wiki in the last month or so...

• Just Kidden, Jampot, Nathan Wells and Rockdude411 now have wiki pages! Although Nathan's page in particular is looking particularly bare and could do with some additional information.

• Nick Durron, MindGame Studios, Fancy Pants, Keshen8, David Pickett have received enough votes for a page but do not yet have one. (Feel free to create them each a page!)

• Some pages have been created for JamPot's BrickFilm Cinematic Universe

I've also created some pages about the German brickfilming community on their forum: BrickBoard, a popular brickfilm resource website BrickTrick and the German Brickfilming festival Steinerei.

In an attempt to get some German help for these I created a thread for Brikifilms on BrickBoard. Although my lack of ability to speak German might make things a little difficult... As you will see in the thread.

Anyway, I hope this wiki is kept alive and continues to grow. We now have 76 pages and 21 registered users which I think is pretty good. Special mentions to Pushover, Jampot and Rockydude for their recent contributions!

Feel free to post here if you have any questions about or suggestions for the wiki
