Reviving the Jazz Jackrabbit Wiki
(the Wikia-based one, not the one hosted here)
First of all hello to everyone! I'm a longtime wiki editor and administrator of various wikis. I recently got interested in adopting the Jazz Wiki, both because I was playing the GOG releases and because I decided to look for some info and found that barren, abandoned place. If you guys have suggestions, can point me out to relevant links and resources or just wish me good luck it's all very appreciated! I'll also definitely link back to this site once the adoption is approved. |

Hi.
My suggestion would be to not use Wikia by any circumstance. http://awa.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Anti-Wikia_Alliance https://www.grandtheftwiki.com/Grand...ove_from_Wikia https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Doom_Wiki:...ure_from_Wikia http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_...Portal/Leaving

I've been wanting to work on the wiki here, but editing has been disabled for godknows how long.
(Stijn plz).

I am obviously biased here, but I see little reason to recommend Wikia over Jazz2Online's own wiki, which has a headstart on Wikia, content-wise, and no shitty ads (and other disadvantages Wikia has). So I would strongly advise everyone to not spend time and effort on replicating what already exists here. Magma Dragoon, why do you want to re-invent the wheel?
That said, as TreyLina indicates editing is currently disabled for most accounts by default, after we had some issues with spambots a while ago. But if you want to edit pages, just ask me. The wiki is a little rough around the edges, but mostly functional and contains a wealth of information. An updated version that solves some long-standing problems is in the works and will be released alongside a bigger site update later this year. But again, if you want to edit things right now, just ask me. If you see any issues with the wiki right now, let me know too - they might be easy to fix. |

It's not my plan to replace the wiki currently here, nor creating a wiki from scratch, since the wiki on Wikia already exists and I'm just adopting it. Like I said I'm already a long-time editor on Wikia and administer quite a few of them (mostly gaming-related wikis like Metal Slug, Gradius and Tyrian, as well as the Villains Wiki), and I fully understand some people have issues with Wikia (about the ads, that's what AdBlock exists for). I could say I know what I'm doing.
Like I said I don't want to replace the wiki here or replicate/copy it (I'm strongly against plagiarism). I'm also not asking anyone to join there, it's not what I'm looking for here. I'm mostly in search of official sources, since Epic doesn't keep a official site for the series, and I was also hoping to find stuff from the boring GBA game (seems nobody likes to talk about it?). By the way, I don't think therere aren't any problems with the wiki here, in fact it is great, so I'm looking forward to these future updates! |

I never saw before(in jazz jackrabbit comic books drawn by Nick Stadler)these two artworks of Eva Earlong(not third one from Jazz Jackrabbit 2 credits)one random pose of princess Eva Earlong and cartoon carrot juice with illustration that she's missing
http://jazzjackrabbit.wikia.com/wiki...arlong#Gallery it's really awesome. Last edited by luke11685; Mar 2, 2018 at 05:11 AM. |

Since you say you're adopting the Jazz2 Wikia, can I ask you to change its background? It was taken from Jazz2Online without permission, and can give the impression that it's affiliated with us, which it isn't. |

Even just the front page contains a Did You Know section that consists mostly if not solely of verbatim text from the J2O Did You Know box at the bottom of its front page. See here for a captured list of J2O Did You Know facts from some point in time. Having clicked the random page link a few times I got (without omitting any results besides duplicates):
This is not an attack aimed against you, or Wikia per se, but do keep in mind that if you wish to have a plagiarism-free wiki, you will have to purge most of the articles currently on there, leaving you with, if the sample above is of any indication, maybe 20 articles with any content in total. It's only slightly short of creating a wiki from scratch. That said, I imagine it's better to have someone who appears relatively responsible in charge of it than the 10-year-old kid who I believe originally founded it, so good luck to you.

The adoption was a success, I'm the new admin and bureaucrat of the wiki and am already working to fix all stuff pointed here.

I've already removed the background, I knew it was stolen from here anyway. Quote:
* The GBA game page was originally empty, I'm currently working on it. * Not sure where the name "Chuck" come from, though, the manual calls him Hip Hop. * From my experience most smaller wikis start by plagiarizing stuff from someplace, and to be honest I was expecting this was the case here. Thanks everyone for all the feedback so far. Since now I have admin rights I'll be able to purge the pages, and I guess I have enough material to work with (I got manual scans from both PC games and the sprite rips on Spriter's Resource). |

Are there any biography informations in Jazz Jackrabbit instruction pc game manuals about weight and height of Jazz Jackrabbit,Spaz Jackrabbit,Lori Jackrabbit,Devan Shell,Queen Earlong and Razz A'ma Tazz I had this feeling that I already saw this(deja vu),but these infos were deleted.Maybe I'm wrong maybe it never happened,yet.Btw article about King Earlong could be very useful for Jazz Jackrabbit related wikipedia.I also think first appearance of Spaz Jackrabbit is Jazz 1(cameo/easter egg) not Jazz 2 in Planet Bloxonius to be precisely accurate now.

Hello everyone. I have finished purging all plagiarized pages, not onbly for the levels but also quite a few ones which weren't full copies but had text copied verbatim from here (Devan Shell, Queen Earlong, Jazz Jackrabbit 3). I've also completely reworked the pages for Lori and Development Versions.
The only page I couldn't confirm was Unused Elements (http://jazzjackrabbit.wikia.com/wiki/Unused_Elements), which from what I checked doesn't have copied text, but feel free to corret me if I'm wrong. |

Thanks, just deleted the page. I'll probably cover those in individual articles.

Wow, 22 third party trackers on Wikia. My first and last time visit to that website.

If anything, the ERE wiki should have the search function available to all logged in users, or at least all regular users.
Google does a decent job of indexing it’s articles. But well, convenience.

Websites like J2O, with 0 third party trackers by default, are your friend

If the ERE is ever properly fixed I'd be willing to throw my hat into the ring and help out where I can.
Ever since I got bored one day and added about 90% of whats on the TCRF article now, I've wanted to do the same with our wiki. However it was a 50% chance that clicking something would lead to a broken page. I haven't checked it out recently so maybe it's gotten better though. Personally I"m not against using Wikia but since J2O is the communities central hub, it makes sense to use our own wiki instead of one hosted off site.

That doesn't block all third party trackers. Besides, AdBlock is bloated and outdated these days, uBlock is a lot better. Doesn't stop all third party trackers, but it'll block the ads more efficiently and effectively. Except both AdBlock and uBlock increasingly are getting workarounds made for them. It's only mildly annoying when some irritating ads show up and you have to fiddle with the settings to get it fixed, but it's catastrophic if the site you're visiting has virus-infested ads, which isn't uncommon, especially on a site like Wikia.
Regarding ERE: I don't know if I have permission to edit that, but if I do, I'll take a look at it when I have some time, and see if I can help out at all. |
