Go for it. If you want to throw it in the message, I checked, and DFRPGResources.wikia.com is available.
Got a response from Evil Hat. Apparently there are already two such wikis, but neither contains much content. We're welcome to add to those or to make our own.
So, do you guys want to use one of these sites?

Looks good for a start. What would you like me to do?Whatever you want to.
Well, I just started editing under the name "Sanctaphrax is taken" because, well, the username Sanctaphrax is taken. But I've run into some technical difficulties. First, all formatting is lost when the page is saved or previewed. Second, several functions just don't work. You press Enter, and a paragraph break opens up four lines below your cursor. Is there anything I can do about this? If not, I suggest we switch hosts to one that actually works.

Hey! You have actual formatting on the NPC page! How do you do that?I used the formatting bar... Huh. Okay, I've been getting increasing frustrated with their interface all afternoon. Rather than throw good effort after bad, I'm going to bite the bullet and start up a Wikispaces site, because I know that one works, and works well.
By the way, I think that having a page for each character and making the NPC page into a collection of links would be advisable. The NPC page doesn't have many characters on it, and it's already unwieldy. Also, it would make it easier to sort characters into categories.
yes, it stands for WoJ, and seems to be mis-quoted quite often. :) (especially when it comes to the Erlking, who everyone assumes Jim says is a King of Summer, but *NEVER* actually says that. :))
And the link for the thread of all collected WoJ is here:
http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,21772.0.html
And the thread is very comprehensive.
Where are the Farie kings? Do they exist?
Yes they do. The Erlking as sort of the Hunter king, and Santa Clause, the Winter king who is not the commercial Santa Clause. The kings are sort of the opposite of the queens in their given season. They are independent of their Queen’s courts. The Erlking is not a particularly friendly guy, whereas Santa Clause is kinder, the spirit of generosity in a time of bleakness. Yah I’ve gota have Harry ask Mab about him so she can roll her eyes.
Are you guys gonna post any rules definitions, not book excerpts, but definitions? WoJ stuff? Or is that crossing boundaries?I was planning, in the example section, to post example combats (like that excellent example social combat or a link to it), example item crafting math, example ward construction, and other similar points.
Although the words "the Erlking is the Summer King" wasn't said...
He does say that Santa Clause is the Winter King, but he makes it clear that he is talking about the 2 kings of the 2 opposite seasons, and the only other being he talks about is the Erlking. Honestly, if Jim is even slightly trixy about how he words something he is upfront about it and makes sure we know. If he doesn't want us to know something, he tells us. I've heard him chant "I'm not gonna tell you and rub the inside of his elbow and mutter about heroin for writers a lot. If the Erlking isn't the Summer King, then this WoJ is an instance of Jim trying to deliberately mislead his readership at a public Q&A and honestly, he respects us too much to do that.
Of note: It's A Summer King, not THE Summer King. There are 3 Queens of each Court, so why not as many of more Kings? It seems more like a courtesy title, something won by might instead of directly related to the Seasonal Courts.
EDIT: at 7:12 in the youtube video of the DragonCon interview he says specifically "The Erlking, he is a Summer King."
And Santa Claus is "one of the Winter Kings" - plural

Regarding WoJ, hasn't he said that he won't play this game, because he knows that he'll be the guy at the table saying "Well, it does work this way, and I'll throw something into the next book to prove it!"? ;D ::)
Firstly, that's precisely what I was thinking of
Secondly, all kidding aside, even if he doesn't play this game his word is the definitive answer. And I'd totally play this game for that EXACT reason if I were him. And I'd make a deity character named Jim. Or a Dragon. Or what have you.
