We aren’t making another fandom wiki
We are making a wiki on a separate platform
Unless you are talking about something else but
Yeah if we successfully make the new wiki we will NOT be going back to fandom
I think we should start a private trello to keep the “Operation: Better Wiki” Project organized
In fact, not only is Fandom specific, but you are also completely incorrect. The merging of two wikis on the SAME SITE is, in fact, rather common.
The keywords being, “the same site”, that is. If you haven’t noticed, fandom’s policies do not extend over to other sites.
And I hope it stays that way
“Fandom update, we have bought every wiki farm in existence”
New dystopia just dropped
me when i get arrested irl because i broke a law in some random ass country I’ve never heard about (rules are universal for some fucking reason)
Anyways, I’m gonna go take a shower and prepare for Netflix session.
I’ll check back later, and don’t contact ANY wiki staff (including RB1).
Please, if you want to contribute to “Operation: Better Wiki” volunter by voting in the original post.
Keep things quiet until the Soifoin guy wakes up tomorrow
Well a lot happened in a like a single hour
Enough for one day, tomorrow we will contact Wiki Staff and hopfully get contact with Vetex, so we can make actual progress
New rb1 alt incoming
I know, don’t make a deal of, PLEASE
What are you on about? AO Wiki definitely has a stake in this, because even though your project is highly impractical, if it somehow succeeds it could end up potentially diverting traffic from the AO Wiki to your wiki (I don’t think it would be a substantial amount to matter, but it still means we have a stake in it). I think you’re the one that lacks common sense for failing to understand how making a competing wiki with the potential to divert traffic from a competitor site somehow does not affect the site in question.
But look, I’m not saying this to convince you to end the project because I don’t think you can be convinced. But it is very confusing and weird of you to say that the AO Wiki has absolutely no stake on this change. In my opinion I find it silly to make an entire volunteer force to slave away the next few months to make a new wiki from scratch, maintain it, learn the mechanics of the new site, advertise it, etc when you could just, I don’t know, fix whatever inaccuracies you claim there is on the AO Wiki? In the end I am keen to see which way the project goes.

You guys know that stuff was removed?
Fandom legally owns the fucking wiki according to it’s guidelines. The AO Wiki editors, quite literally, do not have a stake in the matter. This is the equivalent of McDonald’s workers starting random-ass beef with the Popeyes next door because it’s “our territory”
You don’t even own the McDonald’s brother, shut the fuck up.
Both wikis are, in essence, volunteer projects. No one is getting paid for labor. These are fan works meant to catalog information about the game. Not even the other guy was stupid enough to say that they had an imaginary stake in something someone else was doing because they do something similar.
I am literally using common fucking sense and basic deductive reasoning in order to explain a basic fucking concept to you. Just because you created something does not fucking mean that any fucking Arcane Odyssey wiki unrelated to the fandom wiki has to answer to you. You are not some noble lord which we the peasantry have to answer to when asked, you’re just some random fucking guy on the internet who, because he volunteered for a fan project, believes he has the ultimate fucking say over any other similar fan projects.
They’ve made their decision to learn JavaScript so that they may have the ability to operate a website dedicated to storing information and informing others. Advertising anything at all does not have anything to do with the wiki. It is a non-profit fan project and will remain non-profit until the end of time as they (since they are normal fucking people) slowly, but steadily, work on creating and fleshing out the wiki. It is a passion-driven fan project. You speak as if learning and writing code on the side and writing words on a wiki would be equivalent to a 9-5.
Therefore you should stop talking. This bait is foul and inedible, so stop throwing it.
im on radical conservatives because misinformation is funny
(but i actually think the miraheze is better, i’m just being on this side for shits and giggles)
To be quite frank it is against wiki guidelines to create a second wiki on the same topic especially when the current one is more than sufficient. Besides the wiki is fine just doesn’t have enough editors and if yall would spend some of that time dissing the wiki actually improving it maybe the lack of information would be solved by now. Thats my two cents peace.
thats like
great and all but dont the fandom policies not extend to other websites for making wikis??
most pages are outdated
like the new bronze sea map is not added
also a bunch of unneeded pages like Torren (hes retconned… why is there a page on him anyways on THERE especially. like i would get it if it was on idfk the AA/AR wiki but like?? for what on the AO wiki
and also him being the kingslayer is purely hypothetical unless vetex and/or tech have said otherwise) and the Unknowns (this even if it was retconned could’ve just stayed on the AA/AR wiki) and etc…
Alright I read like 100 posts on this thread and 100 on the other but got tired of the derailing so let me know if anything relevant happened in the last 200 posts
I am willing to help this project as an excuse to play the game again because I’ve been trying to find one.
I can do graphic design and data collection, and I got no problems with learning a bit of code for this if we do end up making it
Okay? Fandom owns the company and wiki so what? Are they the ones maintaining the wiki? Your analogy doesn’t even make sense, yes if I was a McDonalds worker and if another restaurant popped up and started tanking our sales and profits that would mean layoffs could possibly be coming and thus affecting job security, I would care and thus I would have a stake. None of what you said remotely makes any sense, AO Wiki editors want as much visitors to their site as possible, if there is a threat to it no matter how small, then we have a stake in it? Please go learn stakeholder basics before yapping here. And yes, the creator of this project ALSO has a stake in how well the AO Wiki does. If the AO Wiki collapses one day and gets deleted, guess what? Everyone from the AO Wiki will migrate to your new wiki, so we both have a stake in each others existence and in how well each other performs, I think a monkey could understand that.
The rest of your yapping session indicates I somehow said everyone should listen to me like a noble and I don’t see that anywhere in the message I said. Where exactly did I say everyone should listen to me? What did I even demand they should do? All I see is a cesspool of hatred and yapping about non-existent points I have not made, claiming I have the “ultimate fucking say over any other similar fan project” when I didn’t tell anyone to do anything 
Please if you’re going to respond to this, make sure you indicate where I implied this.
This point is literally irrelevant to the conversation but you for some reason brought it up so yes I’ll respond, advertising is important. You quite literally advertised the existence of your wiki here, and I’m sure you will again when the wiki is complete, if it ever is. I don’t know if you were dumb enough to think I meant advertising in the literal business sense, cause I didn’t. All I meant was letting people know your wiki exists, which you will do at some point or else no matter how grand your wiki is, you’ll have a total visitor count of 0 and your wiki will not be SEO, which is essentially a waste of your work. But again, you nit picked this point which is completely irrelevant to the convo at large anyway, so I doubt you’d understand anything anyway.
