Alright, got some time on my hands right now, so... For the glossary on klf.de I created a database of possible entries, i.e. 3 a.m. Eternal, It's Grim Up North or whatever you think should have a place in the wiki. Next, I set up a second database with synonyms, abbrevations and alternate spellings for the entries in database #1 - 3AM, 3 AM Eternal or similar. Whenever a text entry gets indexed, the glossary reads all entries in database #2 and matches them against the text. If there is a hit, the occurance will be stored in database #3 :-) Not where it is, or how many hits exist for one entry, just the info that there IS one. These are stored along with the index of the text we just searched through. Whenever a visitor accesses a page that has been indexed, the glossary reads all previously found hits from database #3 and converts them into links (like you can see in the entry for 808 State or Doctor Who). The advantage is that the system doesn't need to match every possible entry against this text (which would take quite a long time) but only those that have been found earlier when the administrator (me) indexed all entries. So all you have to do is to come up with a new entry and its alternate spellings (see above) and the respective text, and the glossary will place links to this new page whereever the entry is mentioned. As you can see in the FAQ section, this isn't even limited to the glossary itself, but can be applied to whatever section you want. So, basically it is a Wiki-like structure. It needs some small additions now, but it provides a very good platform for an extensive KLF database. ..::// Thomas Touzimsky A best man's speech should be like a mini-skirt; short enough to be interesting, but long enough to cover the bare essentials.

A KLF Wiki?
by juli mallett 28 Nov '05

Has anyone got up a KLF wiki or thought of putting one up? Looking back through the archives there's so many scattered anecdotes and theories about KLFology and there's just a lot of information that it'd be great to have cross-referencing of and to have in an easily-digested version. I mean, you could fill a book with just speculation and backstory about Go To Sleep and LTTT, or about 3AM Eternal and WTIL, the various things that were sampled, and the songs that evolved out of it, and so on. It seems like a shame to have this stuff not all nicely intertwined. It would be a lot of work, but could easily be done incrementally, and using the back archives as a source for a lot of material. Just curious if anyone's tried doing this, or has an interest in doing it. Thanx, juli.

I was just about to say exactly the same thing except that rather than be one of the people who was trying to introduce disinformation, I'd be one of the people trying to ensure none got in there! There is the option of restricting edits to registered members only and banning any registered users who introduce anything deliberately untrue.
