 +====== About the wiki ======
  
 +This site is intended to be a universal, reliable, community-driven home for all things MiniDisc. **[[:about:contributing|Wiki contributions are open and welcomed!]]**
 +
 +===== The Elevator Pitch =====
 +
 +MiniDisc needs a modern, community-focused home to preserve the knowledge of the format.
 +
 +  * Most MiniDisc-focused websites are from when the format was still being sold at retail
 +      * Many of these sites, or the sites they link to, are falling offline as domains expire
 +      * None of these sites allow user contributions
 +  * There is a resurgence in interest in the format
 +      * New albums are being released from numerous labels
 +      * YouTube content creators are covering the format extensively
 +      * The MiniDisc community lives on social media platforms where discussions are less visible with time, or deleted
 +  * A wiki is the best platform for archiving and sharing MiniDisc's 20 year history
 +      * DokuWiki on modern cloud hosting is fast, easy to use, and easily replicated
 +      * A repair experience or rare disc haul can be saved for easy finding in the future
 +
 +The aim of the wiki is to archive, host, and organize as much data as possible, making it more accessible and relevant than the current resources.
 +
 +Read our [[faq:the-wiki|About the Wiki FAQ]] for more detail, and our [[guides:getting-started|Getting started guide]] if you want to start collecting the format.
