[00:24:59] [1/2] My user page on public test wiki still cracks me up, this was my first edit on Miraheze ever :Laugh: [00:25:00] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1465502815387516989/Screenshot_20260126_182307_Firefox.jpg?ex=6979575a&is=697805da&hm=e6432a4c78d50d509edf9f83b568416b05fd4ee754de814667c8696db58c0270& [00:27:31] The small mobile screen doesn't really show it well but it's even center aligned [00:32:48] woagh... [09:08:11] woagh...... [09:26:25] i didn't know fandom can disable a wiki's css if they don't like it [09:27:27] it's funny to see their ppl cleaning up redirections for readers on a forked wiki [09:28:18] to obtain a wiki that would never get updated [09:29:19] wdym [09:30:51] [1/2] removing the links to the relocated wiki [09:30:51] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1465640186670223382/image.png?ex=6979d74a&is=697885ca&hm=c31b2f70c251d1496d2f6aa04a4746cbf5a14912af6b84fc0949ada63912eec3& [09:31:05] when we've added it everywhere [09:31:21] (and css is disabled by them [09:32:59] i also observed similar rc on wikis like [[fandom:you-shou-yan]] [09:32:59] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/fandom:you-shou-yan [09:32:59]

[09:33:22] i mean they just revert the wikis, but they won't go on maintaining the wikis [09:33:35] e.g., adding new articles on info about the theme [09:33:53] so it seems very funny [10:12:47] tbh, this is nothing new [10:13:07] they do this if they knew or found out [10:16:25] yeah [10:16:51] they also tend to demote admins and promote more loyal users [10:17:19] they need more than one users to do it [10:17:37] they can't do it completely, and they even break existing template [10:18:14] i thought they would've done it better [10:42:53] They once banned an admin of a popular wiki that forked only for advertising it once but reverting vandalism on the Fandom wiki, soooo... [10:44:26] Sometimes, when Fandom staff deals with cracking down of a forking wiki, they may do something that does the opposite of what they want to do in the favor of the Fandom wiki lol [11:27:16] ([Balatro Wiki](https://balatrowiki.org) if anybody's curious) [15:13:11] theres a soap member patrolling my fandom wiki constantly [15:13:17] either reverting vandalism [15:13:21] or just, deleting harmless file [15:13:40] like files which are doing nothing they're just existing [15:13:55] even banned people who were preventing people from vandalising the wiki lol [15:16:12] Lmao [15:18:22] See what I mean? [15:19:48] DUDE i edited the wiki's sitenotice to say that "theres been an announcement regarding the future of the wiki, you can check it out here" [15:19:49] When staff/SOAP revert vandalism on a forking wiki, at least do it in a way that doesn't backfire against people who are also fighting vandalism [15:19:52] and a staff REMOVED IT [15:19:55] then blocked me for it [15:19:57] for like 3 days [15:20:07] same on the fanon wiki they just removed it [15:20:10] didnt block me tho [15:20:40] idk how this is violating the forking policy man im just letting peeps know [15:21:32] Yeah that's normal post-fork behavior. I was talking more about stuff that would backfire against the Fandom wiki ironically enough [15:21:44] that fandom wiki is like [15:21:45] dead atp [15:21:49] fake pages everywhere [15:21:56] soap not knowing wtf to do [15:22:03] believing that shit is real and all [15:22:06] likle the fake pages [15:22:08] are really good [15:22:19] people be pulling a calamity mod LMAO [15:24:23] I know it's not calamity mod, but that sounds exactly like calamity mod wiki on fand*m [15:24:29] Are a lot of fandom wikis forking? [15:24:33] 😅 [15:24:35] yeah [15:24:40] 4 roblox wikis moved to miraheze [15:24:43] in the same day [15:24:44] well [15:24:47] same day announcement [15:24:51] jan 3rd or 4th [15:24:53] That's crazy [15:24:58] including my wiki [15:25:07] Do you know about anime & manga? [15:25:17] it legit is we got a `fuckass skibidi toilet boss page` [15:25:20] I kinda felt like the forking scene is kinda dead [15:25:21] nah [15:25:26] In this period [15:25:28] ik notihng abt that mate [15:25:47] the unofficial reddit of the game!!! people are falling for it!!!! [15:25:54] in the game's discord server, same thing!!! [15:25:59] @justleafy2003 Would you know? [15:26:00] people are search ts in the miraheze wiki!!!! [15:26:07] its that convincing its so convincing my god [15:26:14] But that's probably cuz a bunch of wikis I know of (non-Roblox games) already moved out [15:26:58] No. I know like at least a couple of anime wikis that moved to wiki.gg last year [15:27:27] One of them is CITY, another I forgot its name, but it's listed in Wikipedia's Fandom article [15:29:17] It's Nichijou [15:31:19] [1/2] Except for Cookie Run recently, they're the next big wiki(s) to move [15:31:20] [2/2] But seriously, doesn't feel like any other major wiki is moving :/ [15:41:24] Kinda curious what the wikis are. Item Asylum, Forsaken, and what else? [15:50:06] forsaken was way later [15:50:23] It was item asylum, pilgrammed, randomly generated droids and grace [15:50:36] Not familiar with the other 3 [15:50:42] But good to know! [15:54:00] Wish more cartoon and animation wikis forked. There’s just a few rn. [15:54:21] But I’m planning on forking the phantasy Star wiki since it’s fandom site is pretty dead [16:16:07] Now imagine wookiepedia forking [16:16:19] If that happened it would probably kill fandom idk [16:16:28] why wiki is slow for me? [16:17:46] uh [16:21:42] I want the DC and Marvel wikis to fork [16:21:46] But that’ll never happen [16:22:15] all non-reception fandom wikis should fork [16:22:58] make fandom a figurehead [16:34:59] don't post same thing in every channel please [16:35:25] doesn't fandom supress reception wikis too? [16:35:26] no one answering me [16:35:41] welcome to community server [16:35:59] people aren't always in discord or on mirahezs [16:39:56] Seriously the blow these did against the entire scene will never not be funny to me [16:41:07] fandom finally does something good??? [16:41:25] https://tenor.com/view/toro-inoue-playstation-petty-cat-kiss-cat-toro-inoue-gif-13989132739256548301 [17:42:18] I want to fork more of the Fandom wikis I've started that have a small community each. The question is whether other editors/admins agree or at least active enough to warrant forking. [17:43:31] Because personally, the most important part of forking isn't just moving away from Fandom, it's making the fork succeed. And to make the fork succeed, you need your community to be on board with the fork, otherwise, it wouldn't have much meaning. [17:44:55] [1/2] there's a dead witch's heart wiki on fandom [17:44:56] [2/2] i wanna fork it (i mean... just look at me lol), but i'm not in the mood for a rerun of the entire series yet [17:46:22] Yeah obviously a fork for forks sake isn't (inherently) a good thing. [17:48:40] [1/2] i wonder how big the english witch's heart fandom (in general, not wikia) is [17:48:40] [2/2] there's gotta be like, three people [17:49:00] rahhh i hate fandoms rebranding to fandom [17:49:13] if there are no active editors for a long time, nothing's wrong with forking it [17:50:00] agree [17:50:02] (but might as well get into contact with any editor/admin from there, see if they're still active anywhere on the web, and let them know and join the forked wiki) [17:50:15] i don't yet have the motivation to replay the entire series and redocument everything though [17:50:31] so it's kinda like a bucket list project? [17:50:51] yeah [17:51:15] count it as something you can do in the future whenever the circumstances for you would permit [17:51:35] and of course, there's also the option of restarting the wiki from scratch on miraheze [18:06:30] i did this for a roblox game and it is far easier imo [18:06:52] yeah, that's always good [18:07:06] also, kinda depends on the status of the fandom wiki [18:07:41] is the fandom wiki barebones or has like 20-something pages and is left to be abandoned? it's not gonna be hard for your mh wiki to win against that wiki [18:08:19] but does the fandom wiki have hundreds of pages and an active community? you'll have a hard time competing against them [19:37:05] [1/2] yeah i'm helping with the miraheze fork of a decently active fandom wiki, i see it more as a "live and let live" situation [19:37:05] [2/2] if we provide a better wiki, then i think people will naturally use ours more [19:45:14] as long as yours is bigger/more active, and/or there is an increasing interest of new users willing to edit the miraheze wiki and/or moving away from the fandom one to the miraheze one, you'll be able to succeed eventually [19:47:24] best of luck for your wiki!
