Yes, I believe so. Please test it out.

Tiger-heli: can you move your info that was up at mameworld into the WIKI? Even if it comes back up (mameworld) I think it would be awesome to have that info here.

I am fairly certain Mameworld will be back - might take a couple of weeks and it wouldn't break my heart if they dump ZTNET and went to a different host, but I don't pay the bills there so I can't make the decisions for them.
Re: moving my content - I'm not totally opposed to it, but I have the following comments:
The main pages I have that might be of interest would be:
Arcade Interfaces (the encoder roundup) - KeyWiz and I-PAC how-to's also.
Arcade Images Extreme (arcade game pics)
My half-done controller page section (and the poorly updated FAQ page).
The Johnny5 Tutorial
The Set49Mode Tutorial
Concerns:
There is a TON of content there, and it is in HTML format - with lots of images. Not sure how well it would convert to WIKI format, nor what would be involved in doing it.
Don't know if Saint wants to host the bandwidth involved.
Don't know if the FAQ fits in well with the WIKI format.
On the one hand, it would be nice to be able to have others correct and update the info, OTOH, it makes two sites to maintain, and means I need to verify all changes are actually valid. . .
markrvp:
Could you provide brief descriptions/definitions on things like encoders, Johnny5 Viewer, etc. with a link?
TO EVERYONE: is it okay to link outside of the WIKI or do all links need to link back to other WIKI entries?

It's okay (well at least it works) to link outside the WIKI. Saint linked back to BYOAC and I linked to my tutorial in the Keyboard Hacks Wiki page.
I will add the info MarkRVP requested (if no one else beats me to it). ;D
saint:
Link outside, link away :) I asked SirWoogie to have all internal wiki links open in the same window, and anything that links away from the wiki will open in a new window. Other than that it's all fair game.
OH - and I know mameworld will be back as soon as they work out the dns issue, but if you ever need another host I have tons of bandwidth and room (wiki, non wiki, mirror, original site, whatever). I don't want to try to take anything from mameworld and in fact would prefer *not* to have someone move from another host to here unless that original host goes away, as I always thought that was kind of rude/tacky to the original host. However, if the absence becomes prolonged and you want a temporary mirror or need any other space please don't hesitate to ask. :)
