So, a little bit about this wiki. There has always been sOME sort of NSA wiki, but for a long time they were mostly just really long google docs. There were also tons of copies of the "wiki," sometimes with conflicting information. I have included links to all of the sources I could find below - these are where the majority of the information on this wiki came from. But anywho, in the spring of 2023 (I think it was,) I (Owen Behrens) decided to try to consolidate the info onto one website. I was successful, and that site was used for quite a while. However, it had quite a few issues. It ran on the Nextcloud "Collectives" app, which isn't really meant for such high traffic. It has no moderation features, so I locked it down so I was the only one who could edit it. Also, all the links to pages were ridiculously long and suspicious-looking. So, I decided to transfer the information to a proper wiki site, and the obvious choice was MediaWiki It's actually the same software on which Wikipedia runs! It's been quite stable since, and I'm happy with it. People seem to like it in general, and it's been working well. I plan to keep maintaining it after I graduate in 2025, although I'll have to add at least one current NSAer as an admin. If you want to talk more about the history of the wiki, or how it works on the backend, feel free to message me; I'd love to talk about it! Anyway, here are the main source documents that I initially used.
