Would anyone use a "Diamond Pantheon" wiki?

What would you use it for?

What would it need to have to be useful to you?

Maybe when our deity list is longer and our history more convoluted?

We could potentially move a few campaign wikis in there, given enough organization.

It may be possible to move further information about each deity there, which will of course become more useful once we get a larger user base. The information in the profile becomes kind of cramped and disorganized if you have more than a small amount, and, of course, is only representative of that deity's opinions. It might be interesting to see what deities would write about each other.

Another idea I was thinking of is representations of deities (or at least names of deities) in various facets. Some of us (e.g. Aides, Durin) are already found in multiple Facets' pantheons, and these multiple representations are a very interesting aspect of the Diamond Pantheon. The wiki could be used to show the histories of deities and their relationships with other instances of themselves.

That's a great point.

People could develop stories about those named after each other. Other people could jump in and assume the roles of those deities. GMs could use the wiki in their worlds.

The worshiper system might fit in here somewhere.

Speaking of the wiki, it could use a little organization and links to ties pages together.... also, I dunno, maybe I just haven't been looking in the right places, but do we have a running list of items/artifacts and their respective effects? I was thinking of artifacts to make and I don't wanna steal anyone's metaphorical (or possibly literal lol) thunder.

It's an encyclopedia. How do you suggest we organize it?

An artifact list is a good idea. Currently you'd have to peek at the profile of each member.
I think this is worth prioritizing, so I will work on it.

As to organize it, you'd want to start with an overview, followed by broad links (facets, deities, etc.) leading to more detailed subject info, each connecting to anything that is related in a spiderweb manner. You should be easily able to navigate from almost page to any other within roughly 3 links or less unless it is hella precise or tiny and mentioned like once in passing.
