What is Flashpedia?
Flashpedia is a new open source flash site where you can upload, edit, and even play flash games from all over the web. The goal of Flashpedia is to create a free library of online flash games, so please help out by uploading or writing about flash games that you know or have. Now, Flashpedia also lets you to embed flash videos from sites like YouTube, Daily Motion, and MetaCafe.
How It Works
Play Games
To play games already submitted by others, type in the name of the game into the search bar, or visit the List of Games to see a full list of the games on Flashpedia. To browse by category, go to Special:Categories.
Upload Games
Go to Special:Upload to upload a flash (swf or flv) file. After uploading, you should see a page telling you the link to this file as well as some other info like the game's pixel dimensions.
Create Entry
To create a page, simply type the name of the game you want to add in to your browser like this: www.flashpedia.net/wiki/Game_Which_I_Want_To_Add (substitute underscores for spaces if you want). Then, to add a game to the database, it is recommended that you do something like this:
{{
EMBED GAME
|flashurl=http://www.website.com/file.swf
|width=550
|height=400
|author=Website
|authorurl=http://www.website.com
|genre=Action
|downloadurl=
|filesize=
}}
Or, for video, something like this:
{{
EMBED VIDEO
|flashurl=http://www.youtube.com/player2.swf?video_id=blahblahblah
|width=425
|height=350
|author=Website
|authorurl=http://www.website.com
|genre=Miscellaneous
}}
