# “Encyclopedia” Plugin?

 * Hello,
 * Would there be a sort of Encyclopedia plug-in out there somewhere? What I need
   is something that lets you create a lexicon of sorts where you could have entries
   sorted alphabetically each with their own page, and perhaps an image if able.
   Think of a Wiki, just not open-editing and edited from the WordPress admin. Any
   help would be appreciated…
 * Thanks

 * I haven’t actually tried it myself, but you might look at wp-dokuwiki and see
   if that does what you need.
    Or, possibly, the dw2wp plugin. It seems to let 
   you import a browseable version of a dokuwiki, which might serve your needs better.
 * If you do try either of these, I’d love to hear the results!

 * Just use a full install of WordPress for this complete purpose. Each post is 
   an “Entry” in your encylopedia. The post title is the Entry title (the word).
 * You can use alphabetical query, or plugins like WP-SNAP to display alphabatized
   indexes (Post Archives for all time, or by-category, A to Z)
 * In this way images are as easy as they can be with WP. And you can get fancy 
   with Custom Fields to do all kinds of things for each entry.

 * While I’m sure that would work, it just seems to me that if I’m going to go to
   that much trouble, I might as well just install MediaWiki in a subdirectory. 
   I mean, if I have to install something special, I might as well just use something
   that’s designed to do specifically what I want.
 * There are several threads about integrating MediaWiki with WordPress in various
   ways, but none of them seem any better than the plugins that have already been
   mentioned.
 * If anyone has any new ideas, though, I’d love to hear them!
