When we last talked about multi-user dungeon (MUD) history here on Massively, it <a href="http://mud.wikia.com/wiki/MUD_Wiki">wasn't for good reasons</a>.  <a href="http://www.wikipedia.org">Wikipedia</a> had been <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Threshold_(online_game)">slowly removing</a> some of the more memorable games from its archives, causing a response from a few of <a href="http://www.youhaventlived.com/qblog/2009/QBlog050109A.html">the</a> <a href="http://www.raphkoster.com/2009/01/05/losing-mud-history/">resident</a> <a href="http://www.brokentoys.org/2009/01/05/wikicrap/">experts</a> here in the multiplayer genre.  Since that story was published, many readers here offered a suggestion, "Why not go put the history on your own wiki?"<br /><br />Well, that suggestion has recently become a reality with the creation of <a href="http://mud.wikia.com/wiki/MUD_Wiki">MUD Wiki</a>.  MUD Wiki, a Wikia gaming wiki, will be holding all of the MUD history and information that Wikipedia has been slowly losing/removing.  The wiki launched on January 11th, and is slowly filling up with all kinds of information relating to MUDs, including a growing entry for the recently Wikipedia-deleted <a href="http://mud.wikia.com/wiki/Threshold_RPG"><em>Threshold RPG</em> MUD</a>.  If you have anything to contribute, stop by and add what you have to the new home of MUD history.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/01/16/mud-history-gets-a-wiki-for-itself/">MUD history gets a wiki for itself</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 16 Jan 2009 16:00:00 EST.
