Title: The Hardy Boys Wiki
Post by: SDLagent on March 08, 2008, 06:04:41 PM
The Hardy Boys Wiki is a newly founded free encyclopedia deducted to The Hardy Boys books.

The wiki has only been around for three weeks, so it is still quite small, one day however we hope it will be one of the biggest Hardy Boys sites on the Internet, but this will not be possible without YOU!  The Hardy Boys Wiki uses the same software as Wikipedia so everyone and anyone can edit.  You do not need an account to contribute but it is highly recommended you do, to register click  here (http://hardyboys.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&type=signup) (all you need is a password and user name). 

Before you edit please read the  help with editing page (http://hardyboys.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Editing)  or the highly helpful  guide to editing tutorial (http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Tutorial_1) at Wikia.

And of course if you don?t want to edit you can just browse through the articles other people have created.

Interesting, I was just thinking of how a Hardy Boys Wiki would be a good idea. Welcome to Mr. Pizza's forum, HardyBoysWiki, BTW.

A new feature built-into the Infobox Book Template on The Hardy Boys Wiki now let's you link to pages on this site's Database by simply inserting three numbers into an article. This may not mean much to those who do not edit on The Hardy Boys Wiki but for those that do I hope it will be a big help.

Read about it here (http://hardyboys.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Now_link_to_The_Hardy_Boys_Encyclopedia_with_ease)

Questions and comments are more then wellcome

Good work HBWiki!

I'm glad you like it.

I've added a similar feature to the Graphic Novel Infobox (http://hardyboys.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Infobox_Graphic_Novel) template, which you can see being used in The Deadliest Stunt (http://hardyboys.wikia.com/wiki/The_Deadliest_Stunt) article. For this template the links go to Papercutz' website, and the ATAC Database on this website.

I was just talking about the new Hardy Boys Wiki picture (your avatar) because I hadn't seen it yet.

The wiki has only been around for a few months, so it's hardly your complete Hardy resource.

Due to popular demand I have created a WARD article and an article for Poppa Noir.

Hey, is anyone a WARD fan around here? I know we have ATAC fans lol! I guess it would defeat the whole purpose, though, because we're suppose to be on ATAC's side...or be for the Hardys, anyways.

So maybe what I should say is, does anyone like the addition of WARD? Comments?

P.S. I do find it kind of funny (in a good way) with the the play-on-words. "American Teens vs. Warring Adolescents". 

P.P.S. If they have Poppa Noir, then should Fenton Hardy be Papa Blanc ??? ;D

I like WARD a lot in the stories it's been in, and am looking forward to Graphic Novel #15 ''Live Free or Die Hardy'', which will feature WARD.

I like how the Noirs and WARD is sort of an opposite of the Hardys and ATAC. They're the closest thing the Hardys currently have for an arch enemy, and after their next appearance in #15, they'll hold the record for most appearances by a bad guy in a Hardy Boys book. (and no I'm not looking over the Assassins, since if I remember no individual Assassin every appeared three times)

For sure. I mean, it's not a huge surprise to have some sort of rival agency, but it was unexpected for me. Partially because I've only started reading Casefiles like a year ago, so I wasn't familiar or didn't have the idea of a big rival organization that regularly appears.
Title: Re: The Hardy Boys Wiki
Post by: SDLagent on August 18, 2008, 11:21:45 AM
And even with my, who had read a quite a few Casefiles, it was still a surprise, since this is the UB world where organized crime doesn't exist!

This is getting off topic maybe a new thread should be started...

I remember that with the Assassin's they kept resurrecting dead Assassin's to torment the Hardy Boys.  Like Al-Rousassa, and even the evil Iola.  And there must've been like 5 different Gray Man Assassin-clones in the whole series.

There are currently 360 articles on the wiki!!! I just created two more tonight: one for Maggie Nosek, and one for Playback.
We still need a lot more articles though, if we're going to reach that 500+ this year.

Hello everyone! I've been editing on the Wiki for a few months now and it's just been going from strength to strength! The best thing about a wiki is that when you get that "why don't they have an article on..." feeling, the solution is simple - you can write it yourself! Having hundreds of articles is great but having dozens of editors is even better and everyone can get involved. People are coming to the wiki in drips and drabs but what we really need is a flood of new editors! I imagine some people have had a look but are intimidated by the different article styles and guidelines, or are worried their grammar and spelling aren't up to scratch. It doesn't matter! There are plenty of people there only too happy to help out and any edit is welcome. Please come along, create an account and add some info on your favourite character, story or whatever.

This has been a public service announcement on behalf of The Hardy Boys Wiki!  ;)

Wow, thanks for your comments Paul! As the man says it doesn't matter what your writing skills are like - we have other editors that will be more then happy to correct any mistakes. And while we do have style guidelines, etc, all of them are open to discussion, so get in there!

And thanks Paul, for all your help. Keep it up!

Haha that's an interesting idea, but then I guess there would need to be an article about other message boards too. But this one is special ;)

It could talk about the infamous fights on here (Network vs. ATAC, fake quoting).

Well, eventullay I plan to have articles on Hardy Boys websites but at this point it's not very high-up on my "to do list".
