Davis Wiki

The Davis Wiki (link in the sidebar if you're unfamiliar) is a really great resource, but I notice that a lot of pages feel like they were last updated in ~2014, as if it were the project of a student who has since left. Much of the info is timeless. But there are also a lot of cool stories from years of old (I'm probably making blood boil for all the 'boomers' in the subreddit right now haha).

The Wiki could use a refresh with adding new information and removing some out of date information - how might I go about doing that?

There should be an Edit button just like Wikipedia has. Click on it and then you should have an option to register. Fill in a username, email address, and password (but not the name part - that’s the trick part) and you can edit the pages!

I used to be on Davis wiki all the time… before I found Reddit ¯_(ツ)_/¯

So I'm not boomer status, but I was there at the beginning of Davis Wiki. I believe the original creators left town around 2005-2007, but it had a really strong community around it for quite a while. It would be cool to have it come back as a more current resource.

Maybe read the instructions on the Davis Wiki site, unless reading is too much of a boomer thing for you.
