Post subject:  For those who are more technically-knowledgeable...

If this is the wrong thread, sorry. I'd appreciate it if someone could move it if it is, though.

I was just wondering if there is such a thing as a computer program that works as a Wiki or something similar to it.

The reason I ask is because I have a centralized database in a Microsoft Word document for pretty much everything fictional (My works, other works) which covers a vast amount of content (People, vessels, planets, weapons, timelines, etc.) and I had a random thought, which was "This would be much more easier to navigate and sort through if it was formatted like a Wiki rather than in a .docx."

I know this is a long shot, but in this day and age, who knows, right?

So, if anyone can help, that'd be great. Thanks.

I do not believe there is such a thing as an app you can use on your computer (but I might be wrong): however I am also fairly certain that anyone who likes can use something-or-other to make their own private wikis, and I think they can be set as more or less private by the maker, and such. I haven't done much research into it, because I never came into a direct need for that sort of thing. Here's a link that should tell you about it though.... How To Create a Wiki Is that any help?

Thanks, Mistress Rwebhu.

So it sounds like the TiddlyWiki would be more suited for my purposes, and I would be able to keep that completely private, right? Just for my use?

From what I read, yup.

Uhh...You wouldn't happen to know how to put pictures into tiddlers, right? (Tiddlers are the 'pages' of the TiddlyWiki)

Erm... no? :P

* does a bit of digging to see if she can come up with something *

Here, would this help? It talks about images a little way down the page.

Hmm...For some reason, whenever I do that, it just shows up as linked text, and doesn't show the picture itself. I can open it in a new tab and it'll show me the picture, but it won't show up as a picture within the wiki.

Oh, well. Thanks anyway.
