because the Wiki is where a lot of people on the internet look for information these days and it deserves to be a good source of Underworld information.[COLOR=Indigo]

We should be concentrating on non-promo items for sure. Items that have been released in their 1000s not in handfuls (ME/The Hump excepted).

I know what you mean. The Wiki should aim to be more informational but it does need a basic discography. What it doesnt really need is such a comprehensive discography as is wanted here.
What I dont get is why we should STOP what we are doing when all the information is so easily transferrable. To tanyone suggesting this you are welcome to stay away from it until a dirty wiki is started, its your choice. I'm sure i'm not the only one who is kind of enjoying creating this and will also enjoy moving it over and helping create a dirty wiki too. The wikipedia isnt going anywhere anytime soon. Maintaining 2 wiki's won't be too much of an effort either, once the main discog and info is created.
