On demoparty.net as a wiki
[ demoparty.net ] On demoparty.net as a wiki
There seems to have been (or still is) some discussion about whether demoparty.net can be regarded as a wiki or not.
My idea has always been a webpage that brings two groups together: those who are organizing a demoparty and those who would like to visit one (or more than one).
But let’s get back to the original point: demoparty.net has never been a real wiki. New parties (and news and images) require manual approval by an admin, which is not how a wiki usually works. Apart from that, most information is editable for logged-in users. Please use this function if you find inaccurate information.
At a certain point, some parties complained about this (for whatever reason), so I added a feature to “claim” a demoparty series. With this, a party is fully responsible for its events on this platform, which is why only they can, for example, add this year’s Revision.
To sum it up: more engagement, adding parties, and fixing mistakes on this platform is encouraged and will help both the demoparties and the demosceners. And in the end, it will help the demoscene.
Love. Poti
