this came to me rather sudden, had a shiny new sketch pad, trying to figure out what to put into it, and it came to me, an Encyclopedia entry about one of my characters o.o but then...... why stop there, so using my cult knowledge I remember wikipedia and I said

YES an Encyclopedia about macros and micros, o.o such a tool would be as powerful as it was utterly useless, but at the same so very very cool.

So... is this something that can be done.... or a just a foolish Malamute dream to crushed?

That'd be cool to have an entire entry on Macrofurry by itself. And, with the collective knowledge here, it can be done. So, in the legendary words of HGTTG: Don't panic.

Hell, I'd help write it myself if it happens. =P

No, I’m just quoting history. It’s written. It’s a fact...Now, if that’s a fact, tell me: Am I lying?

Sounds froody. I say do it. Now. I mean it, you'd better do it now, or I'll... I'll.... recite very bad poetry. No... I'll... uhm.... Uhm.... make your coffee too milky.

Okay, I've found something we can use for the hitchikers guide to macros, but since I'm not allowed to Tinker with OS and get this installed, I will need our lovely moderators to assist us.

link for software is as follows
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_does_MediaWiki_work%3F

so any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated

I'd be willing to help you with this one. I've been trying to update the Macrofurry entry on Wikipedia with random stuff that I know, and would be happy to do the same with a dedicated mediawiki on the subject.
