Forum:Renaming the Ultima 5 Lazarus Wiki

Basically, I guess I sent a request about this earlier through the contact form, but it appears to have been lost. No problem. Anyway...

The Ultima 5 Lazarus Wiki was "taken over" by me and a few other users. Basically, the old U5L was small, had a narrow topic, and was not very much maintained; our idea was to turn this into a "generic" Ultima series wiki. The idea has been extremely successful and we have tons of new content. Now, all that remains to be done is changing some site names and setting up a redirect.

So here's a summary of the changes that need to be done:
 * Host name: "ultima.wikia.com" - needs a bit more generic hostname, and brings it in line with other game wikias. Also, this needs a redirect so that all links (if any) still work - we have redirects (if needed) for old page names so this shouldn't break things.
 * $wgSitename: "Editable Codex" - Current name is "Ultima 5 Lazarus Wiki", which is quite a mouthful. The proposed new "full" site name is "The Codex of Editable Wisdom", but that's a bit long - the site name should be preferrably something short. I think "Editable Codex" is short enough, and we can use "The Codex of Editable Wisdom" as a "full" proper name. the $wgSitename has to be specified, however. I'd terribly appreciate it if this could be fixed before we start creating tons of Project: namespace pages =)
