Is there a forum/ subforum I could put the wiki code I'm making? I'm asking because I wanted to provide backups for the code in case anything happened.

I wonder whether ESR is the place for a Wiki format. SO far the AfroWIki has little organization or content and seems simply a diversionary spinoff from edit battles at Wikipedia. Why bother? We have in many ways already moved beyond Wikipedia. There are several pipelines now pumping out fresh content worldwide. Information is easily available both here on ESR and ES as well as Google in general.
Those who hope to make Wikipedia some sort of (censored and distorted) clearinghouse for info on African history and bio-history have failed. The censorship and distortion no longer works, and people need not tie themselves down battling in the Wikipedia hole and "admin Notice Board"- when they can better spend their time expanding other, fresh pipelines with content. Frankly as far as African history and bio-history is concerned no one needs Wikipedia. Much more accurate and up to date information can be found elsewhere, with a clear verifiable citation of evidence people can check out for themselves, citations that will not "disappear"with the latest BS "edit."
Alternatively, Wikia.com offers free Wikis as does pbWiki which can be locked and protected as needed.. Simply duplicating content WITHIN ESR in a WIKI format seems unnecessary. A fresh website like pbwiki that will give an additional Google hit center seems much better- if spreading the word about African history and diversity is the goal. I myself have provided direct links and content to help along said WIki, but it seems unnecessary. Why not just post content directly to a forum?
