This wiki uses the same base as Wikipedia.

  • Tenebrae Log Cleaner and Formatter: Made for MUX, this offers two filters. One automagically removes all pages and OOC chatter. The other just removes pages! It also sets your spacing and does everything else. Ever.
  • Word, OpenOffice, and LibreOffice Plugins: These plug-ins are available for many common word-processing softwares. Format your log in your favorite word processor, then export. The latest versions of LibreOffice should come pre-installed with an "export to mediawiki" option. Because this is a mediawiki er, wiki, there are a wide variety of tools just like these.
  • MUX Log Cleaner: A log cleaner available for Windows. It may be useful on many different MUs. I've not actually tested it. Requires .NET. If you do use this, please page Lahar with how it went!
  • Text Mechanic Online: Remove duplicate lines, add spacing, remove spacing...a number of online tools available through your browser.
