is the Documentation channel type for a Wiki style channel? Because having a Wiki on fluxer would be incredible and let us avoid relying on Fandom

I completely agree on that, although I imagine it would be a massive project to add smth of a similar quality to it.

It would be especially game changing if it was easy to set the stuff up for CSS stuff etc for the cool looking things people can do, which on fandom is seemingly rather complicated. Or if it had some kind of built in wiki to show how to do basically everything on it. That brings me to another idea.

In my idea, this channel would pretty much be a place you can input html and css and just render it. No javascript or any scripting language for very obvious reasons, just raw HTML x CSS, which I believe would still allow to do a lot ! Maybe I can make it a bit clearer in my proposal ? I'll add this discussion as reference for the documentation channel. Or maybe there could be two modes to a documentation channel : a "simple" mode which would be a markdown editor, and then an "advanced" mode where you can do html and css ?

It could just be a markdown so regular people can use it. Html and css is too much for the average person, a markdown file lets you get all the features of wikipedia people need for their own wikis

That why two modes could be interesting ! The default would be markdown, so that anyone can use it, but then an advanced mode would let people use CSS to make their own personal themes and such if they want. Although, I do have to recognize that an HTML mode would probably be more work to implement than just a markdown mode. But I still think the two can be interesting !

Ah, I missed the part about css and html. But this is what I'd like, specially for people that work on bots and such, would be a nice way of giving them the option to make better interfaces. Simple markdown won't cut it for that tho, and it would feel limited to just wiki type documents which I don't think is lacking as much as better UI features for projects in general. Having both options would be better.
