https://175bpm.net/wiki/Main_Page
Major updates:
- Moved from a wiki farm to a VPS (massive improvements in speed and uptime).
- Switched entire site to SSL.
- Added some forums (accessible from the main page).
- Still working on a theme for the site; will set that up as soon as I get it ready.
Feedback and, most importantly, contributions wanted!

What I'd like to be built up in the wiki:
- Detailed information and history on hardcore and its subgenres (UK, breakbeat, breaks, gabber, speedcore, makina, freeform, trancecore, happy, etc.)
- Detailed information and history on hardcore labels
- Detailed information and history on hardcore producers and mastering engineers (e.g. Trixxy would qualify as both)
- Detailed information on hardcore websites and communities (such as this one)
- Production information, information on hardcore production history (the M1, ADAT, etc.), and information on current hardcore production (VSTs, DAWs, etc.).
In a nutshell, a really in-depth look at hardcore in general. If it's related to hardcore, it goes!

Si, it's just a matter of getting their raw .xml properly imported.

While I'm waiting for the wiki to be moved over to advanced hosting so I can upgrade to MediaWiki 1.18 (currently running 1.16 which is why I can't move Wikipedia templates over), I messed around and created an artist template.

Edit: Label templates!

when creating artists pages, have you considered aliases? Some use more than 1 alias, and some dont even have a "default" aliases. I dont know if using real names (where possible) as main artist page would be best

Sometimes artists don't have their real names available or prefer to not have them disclosed, so that's why I haven't used their legal names for their page names.
I was thinking that even if they don't have a "default" alias, the alias that they've used the most would be the page title.
Hmm...

Dutch happy hardcore artists are famous for using multiple names, and even if Scott Brown has used his real name as an artist name, he got a whole horde of aliases

Maybe if their real name is their most-used "alias", that could be the title.

Sorry to hear that :( I know that having extensions like AntiBot, ConfirmEdit, Spam Blacklist, Title Blacklist, SimpleAntiSpam, etc. help stave off both spam and some vandalism.
I remember a while back you mentioned that rabid deletionists on Discogs were constantly removing your contributions there. FYI you're free to make them on the wiki (whenever I get the rules written, I'll make sure that it's noted that the wiki leans strongly towards inclusionism).

http://hardcore.wikinet.org/wiki/Portal:Hardware
If anyone has any suggestions for how to set up the category hierarchy, I'm all ears. Right now I have:
1. Hardware
2. Audio Hardware
3. Hardware Mixers
4. Monitors
5. etc...
I imagine there's a better way to categorize it all, though.

I've given the site a major face lift. Any thoughts?
Also, I'm working on migrating everything to a different host where I have control over the MediaWiki version and extensions.
