Hereās an idea
Iām pretty sure miraheze can let you make a wiki private, maybe we work on it until full release, when we make it public?
Ads. Unearthly amount of ads. And also a massive profit-first cooperation (new term just dropped) that is incredibly out of touch with itās users
And that doesnāt stop other wikis from forking fandom as well
Honestly I donāt understand how people are in 2024 without an adblocker. Thatās out of our control, but itās not a hard issue to solve. You can spend 10 seconds installing an extension like Ublock origin or spend 4 months switching to another site.
Why the fuck is there even an argument surrounding this? This project literally negatively impacts no one apart from the people working on the project who have to spend their own time on the project. Work on learning how to use Miraheze and work on the wiki at your own pace while the fandom wiki does whatever they do at their own pace. Seriously, why is anyone trying to convince anyone of anything???

To be honest, I got no idea why they care so much
I assume if they see a group of people so dedicated to doing this, they would want it in their wiki since people like having power. Although thatās just a guess
one thing iāve noticed sometimes is unsourced information for stuff not readily obvious in game
It negatively impacts the community because now thereās two wikis with inevitably different standards and information. For the average user the raises the question: who to trust? Not to mention it makes BOTH wikis update slower because instead of a single unified force of editors, itās two smaller divided editors.
Or to allow the company to collect data on you and sell that to advertisers
We already have the Forumers and Wikians hating each other thing, we donāt need wiki vs wiki combat.

I should probably that the restrictions you can have for editing pages is
Only a couple of people can edit a page
Restrictions on the editing for this page donāt exist
Also, you have more tools to work with when making pages
The sources for the lore ones is the lore doc, and in-game hints for the whirlpool information. I agree it should be cited and referenced though.
Precisely. All this does is divide the community further.
We know that, but the general lack of sources makes it easy to confuse a unsourced fact with speculation
Thatās not at all the case. The issue is practicality. Itās impractical to have two wikis both competing.
The platform has a bunch of ads and thereās a bunch of misinformation. Especially regarding future content or things that are just speculation.
Those are my issues with it Iām sure others have more extreme problems with it.
I donāt have it right now but you can ask the other lore heads on the forums.
Rb1 got involved and now Iām doing pr since Iām the head lol. thatās also what Iām trying to figure out as well.
Counterpoint: Competition is good, weāre only going through if the Fandom wiki still has a bunch of problems (Which it has a lot of which is out of its control which strengthens our cause)
Iāve actually been telling a tiny lie. Iām not at ALL compelled to edit the wiki right now. Iām definitely not feeling more motivated with the threat of being replaced.
Ok 
Nobody particularly cares, let us discuss
Cynthia? From Pokemon?
I think time zones wonāt let that happen
