Is it possible to create an editing whitelist for the wikia?

I do believe you can create user permissions in various groups. Most major Wikias have this IIRC

After some investigating, it looks like Darius' site might be best. Google Sites has a site storage limit of 100MB, which is not going to work if we want lots of pictures and whatnot. Unless we can't alter permissions on Darius' site or there is a similar limit, I say we go with that.

I've experimented with the Wikia permissions a bit, and there doesn't seem to be a good way to apply a permission set across the whole site instead of just individual pages. The search function is also not as good as Sites, but not enough to be a major hindrance. Also, there does not appear to be a site size limit, which is good.

Is there any wiki software that would allow for more wikipedia style editing and host it ourselves?

This is open source PHP software that allows you to create a wiki, but we'd have to upload it to a test site to see how well it works. It appears to be similar to what we had back in the day, which wasn't the best system. If it is user-friendly, this could be an option for hosting a wiki on this site.

Since I don't know, was the old site easier or worse than editing wikipedia articles?

I haven't edited Wikipedia articles, so I can't say for sure. You had to put your info into HTML templates to add/edit pages in the old library, which was not the simplest process.

Go try some random article that has lots of tables and report back? You don't need an account if it's not a controversial Wikipedia article.

Just so everyone knows, there was an old wiki setup on MediaWiki, I have a version of the old one running on my personal test server so you can go play with that along with viewing the old stuff. Its an old version but gives a good visual of what it looks like. http://www.hermertiatest.rgfv.ca/wikitest/index.php?title=Main_Page
