I have created an Elite: Dangerous player faction Wiki and I may have jumped of the deep end.
But in anycase, here it is:
The purpose of this wiki is to provide an easy to read and access point for all player faction information. Going along the theme that a lot of things in Elite are hidden, I've specifically for player minor factions who want to showcase about what their faction is about, how many systems they control, which stations they've managed but most importantly what they're about.
Why do I care?
Beyond a name or a government type, we know next to nothing about these player minor factions and who run them. This will be a way for them to showcase who they are, How to contact them, (I know you powerplay folks would love that) and what's their lore and story.
Who can add their Player Minor Faction?
Anyone can! Requirements have been updated as of 01/01/2018. There are 2 requirements:
Why can't I just add a page to the Elite:Dangerous Wikia?
Elite Dangerous Wikia has some very strict rules on which factions can be allowed on the wiki. That being you must have a GalNet article or some official mention by Frontier to be allowed. I think these restrictions are too restrictive and not useful for the community at large so I made one that did what I wanted to see.
Why isn't Inara.cz or Eddb.io enough?
Inara.cz for factions is meant to be an operations and organzations system. you get missions, and discussions with your factions. most information is private except a short description.
eddb.io has information on systems, planets, minor faction influence and stats, but there's nothing about the spirit of the faction. It doesn't answer the question, What is this faction about? What have they done? What's their reputation like?
A wiki format allows us to collectively archive our lore. our triumphs and failure. Our conflicts and alliances. It allows us to showcase what it is that makes our factions great. Not just the many systems we control but the culture we encourage.
How do I start?
This should make it easier to make new pages so here are new instruction.
I need help making a template for this to make it easier. sigh~ (any takers?)

Anyone can! Requirements have been updated as of 01/01/2018. There are 2 requirements:
- You must own or has owned at least 3 systems, or be situated in Colonia or Quince or any other remote region that makes it unique (such as Pleiades and California Nebula)
- If your faction is an official faction, add a reference on your minor faction page from the player faction thread that says that your faction has been added to the game.

This should make it easier to make new pages so here are new instruction.
