Welcome to the so-far Unofficial Floor Pi Wiki. We're still getting set up now, but feel free to contribute.

We are currently getting ready for wider hall use, so please refrain from wankery until we getting things up and running, and have most of the pages up that we want.

This wiki is being hosted on charlest's Athena account. If it ends up working out well, we will transplant it to the hall locker. If not, it shall be one of many Nice Things We Can't Have. Also, having it there for now is a good excuse to arbitrarily remove pages as I wish when they start eating up my disk quota.

If you are new to this whole wiki thing, you might want to check out the User's Guide for information on using it. We'll try to set up an abbreviated version locally so that the know-how is more accessible.

For now, the information we want to aggregate in this wiki are as follows:

  • Local Information, especially about Restaurants
  • Video Game Information, to help newer people join the fold of gamers on hall, and to help people already addicted to organize themselves
  • Memetics of the hall, for example cursing your body and praising the lake
  • Event Organization, for parties and such
    • On that note, music organization. We hope to make more information about playlists and such available to you.
  • Course Information, so that cruft can pass on their wisdom
  • How To Not Suck At The Internet, and other useful advice
    • Regarding not sucking at the Internet, please don't hotlink to images from this wiki, as I get any shit from annoyed webmasters who want to know where their bandwidth has gone. If you want an image that badly, download the damn thing and link to it from your own www/ directory.

This page will later be replaced by something more informative about the hall itself, so that we can direct prospective hall members to it, and they can start learning about us without immediately being exposed to PENIS PENIS PENIS.

It's in the works, but I'm going to add a Serious Business template so that we can mark pages that we'd like unvandalized. It will look something like this:


Please tag any page that should actually be treated seriously with {{Template:SeriousBusiness}} as the first line.
