HF Wiki Returns

The official HF Wiki is returning with a brand new team and a brand new line of ideas. Many years ago, the project was sadly left alone, and it seemed like the project was at its end of life, but thankfully recently I have been working with Omniscient to bring the site back to life. As the leader behind the official HF News team, I thought it would only be right to bring back the wiki with the team I have managed to put together, and I am happy to announce that we are now working hard to bring the official back to the community.

What is the HF Wiki?

Now, for some of our newer members, you may not even know about the previous work done on the site, but the HF wiki is an official site that is part of Hack Forums in its own special way. It is where many events and members & groups get noted down to go down in history for everyone to have archived online from the main page you are reading this thread on today. While some of the older members may remember the site and seeing that it sadly just got left behind due to no one being able to maintain the project.

So what is the Hack Forums Wiki I hear you asking? Well, it's a Wikipedia of Hack Forums, and it's the home to a lot of information about the sites past and present day. The Wikipedia includes a collection of biographies of members on the site, all the way to award information. The Wiki is a place where members new and old can find out more about a certain user, read up on in-depth analysis of popular tools and users on the forum, or even just get some clarification on a specific hacking term that they may not have heard of before.

Where to find the HF Wiki

The Hack Forums Wikipedia isn't really something that has been publicized about for many years these days, but I am hoping to change that over time and with that there are a few different ways to access the Wikipedia page. The first would be to head over to the website directly via the domain https://wiki.hackforums.net/ but you can also access this via the menu button on HF itself via the website's navigation bar.

Here is a little guide to find it from the navigation bar:

How to Contribute

The Hack Forums Wikipedia is currently being worked on daily to bring it up to the modern day, but we don't have all the information known left and right and this is where the community comes into play. We know many members in the past have contributed to the site by adding their very own information to the site. While the information is moderated, it will be reviewed and then pushed to the site once approved, and I am happy to say that moving forward this will remain the same and I can not wait to see what everyone has to offer. The site is going to still allow everyone who wishes to contribute as they please, and we are more than happy to see even a single line added to something. Or even something that corrects something that may be a little outdated.

To contribute to the site, it does need a separate account that isn't directly linked to the main Hack Forums site. You will need to have a Wiki account. With this account, this will allow members to contribute to their hearts galore and to make an account it only takes seconds. Once you have an account and are logged in, you can freely edit any page you would like.

Special Thanks

With the return of the Hack Forums Wikipedia I just want to add a special thanks section to the thread as without a little help from this lot we wouldnt have the project back up and running.

Omniscient

Without you, I wouldn't have been able to have this opportunity to take on this role and help out so much. You have also helped me with getting everything back up and running, taking a few hours out of your day when you could be working on something for the main site. You have sorted out all the errors with the SQL to allow us to get the site back to a place where we can edit and update everything. I really cant thank you enough. You are a great sysadmin, admin, and person and I know giving the team the chance to make the Hack Forums Wiki great again is something we can all work well together with. Once again thank you for everything so far and everything to come.

I always thought you had left HF, but recently you came back, and you have returned with a bang. You have been helping gather a load of information for the wiki and so much more. You were a great member of the Wiki team many years ago and I cant wait for the future working with you in the team with us all. Thank you for everything so far and let's bring the wiki back to the modern day we are in today together.

Cap

You offered a home for my project when I didn't even have anything really in place, but you took that risk and gave me that chance and homed the team when you didn't even know if we would get anywhere with it. You really are a great guy and helped us get so far and I cant thank you enough for the chance you gave me and the team. I cant wait to see the great ideas you have for the wiki moving forward.

I would like to also add that the members of the Wiki team who have come from the HF news team have to be on the special thanks list, as I know they may just be getting to grips with the site and how it works, but I know once they get an understanding of how the site works, they will be making some great additions to the site and making sure the site is well maintained with a load of new information going forward. You lot are the best!

I appreciate the shoutout, but you're the one who has been driving and doing the actual work so far.
I do plan to contribute more and hope others from the community do the same.

I understand you can edit pages, but how do you create a new page? I would like to contribute a post about myself if I could.

Great post Mix! Glad to be apart of this project.

A lot of work and changes have already happened.

Check the notable members' pages.. You'll at least be mentioned as a group owner. So, yes, most likely you will have your own page.

[Moooookie]

Nice to see that you're resurrecting the HF Wiki and are bringing it back to its glory. I wasn't fortunate enough to be around when it was active in the past, but looking forward to see what you will do with it at it's current time. Tbh, I've never visited it before and will have a look at it before getting off the site tonight.

Good luck with everything.

Looks like you managed to work it out. I have just approved the page for you. Enjoy.

i wonder if i get a page too 🤣

[Riggs]

Good to see. I think it would be cool if we could get some obituary type commentary published for past members who are no longer with us. Some of them were quite prominent here.
