Welcome. While we are currently calling this the [[TinyMUX]] wiki, it is really a wiki for all servers in the MUSH family.
This documentation is community maintained and may be edited and expanded on by anyone.


People write about what they know, so you can expect that some pages will focus on that and exclude the unfamilar. Take it as an opportunity to add and clarify with what you know. It may seem uncomfortable at times to be faced with unfamiliar information, but we want to assure you that the wiki dynamic is quite powerful.
Welcome to the [[TinyMUX]] Wiki — a community-maintained resource for all servers in the MUSH family.


The scope starts modestly enough at [[hardcode]], [[softcode]], and [[administration]] issues for the [[MUSH]] family of servers, but may eventually grow to include games, softcode libraries, tools, and related efforts. Check out the [[Suggestions]] page if you would like to either list a topic or article that you'd like to see here or respond to one already listed.  
While the name emphasizes TinyMUX, this wiki welcomes content relevant to all MUSH-based servers. Whether you're a player, builder, coder, or administrator, your contributions help strengthen the community's collective knowledge.


Other places that are good to start out at if you want to help are the [[:Special:Wantedpages|list of wanted pages]] and the [http://www.tinymux.org/wiki/index.php/Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Stub list of stubs] (see [[stub]]).
People write about what they know, so expect some pages to focus on familiar territory while omitting others. If you see something missing or unclear, consider improving it. This collaborative approach may feel a little messy at first, but it's also what makes the wiki powerful and flexible.

Welcome to the TinyMUX Wiki — a community-maintained resource for all servers in the MUSH family.

While the name emphasizes TinyMUX, this wiki welcomes content relevant to all MUSH-based servers. Whether you're a player, builder, coder, or administrator, your contributions help strengthen the community's collective knowledge.

People write about what they know, so expect some pages to focus on familiar territory while omitting others. If you see something missing or unclear, consider improving it. This collaborative approach may feel a little messy at first, but it's also what makes the wiki powerful and flexible.

Our initial focus is on hardcode, softcode, and administration for the MUSH family. Over time, we hope to include information on game setups, softcode libraries, tooling, and related projects. If you’d like to request or suggest a topic, check out the Suggestions page.

Want to help out? Good places to start include the list of wanted pages and the list of stub pages (see stub for more).
