How MH Wiki Supports Media Hoarders

Updated

MH Wiki is a community reference site built to support the daily conversations and activities of media hoarders. If you collect, organize, or archive physical and digital media, it functions as a shared knowledge base rather than a single tutorial: it gathers practical guides, reference material, and project documentation in one place.

What the wiki covers

The site organizes its content around a few broad areas, based on its navigation:

  • Guides — practical how-tos for common hoarding tasks.
  • Reference — lookup material for codes, identifiers, music sources, and naming.
  • Projects — longer-running community efforts and documentation.
  • Bibles — two named reference documents, The QF Bible and The Salty Bible.
  • FAQ and Fun — orientation material and lighter community content.

Guides for everyday tasks

The guide section addresses recurring problems media hoarders run into:

  • Finding artwork — locating cover images and related visual assets for releases.
  • Saving space — managing storage as a collection grows.
  • Scanning media — digitizing physical items.
  • Ripping CDs — with platform-specific instructions for Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Because the ripping guides are split by operating system, you can go straight to the instructions that match your machine instead of filtering out irrelevant steps.

Reference material

The reference section supports consistency across a collection:

  • Codes and identifiers — for accurately labeling and matching releases.
  • Music sources — where to look for music.
  • MusicBee — guidance tied to that player/organizer.
  • Naming — conventions for keeping files and folders predictable.

The Bibles

The QF Bible and The Salty Bible are the wiki's two named reference documents. They appear as their own top-level section, which suggests they serve as deeper or more opinionated resources than the general guides. If you want to know what each one contains, they are worth opening directly, since the wiki presents them as distinct bodies of material rather than summaries.

How to use it

  1. Start from the area that matches your task — a guide if you need to do something, reference if you need to look something up.
  2. For ripping, pick your platform (Linux, macOS, or Windows) before reading.
  3. Use the reference pages when naming or tagging files, so your collection stays consistent with community conventions.
  4. Check the Bibles when you need the more detailed reference documents.
