Forum:The Idea Wiki

Hi. I'm WikiMan.

I'm here to discuss an issue about a wiki and its content.

The wiki is called Idea Wiki. http://ideas.wikia.com/wiki/Idea_Wiki

The premise is: a collection of ideas that you can change.

The problem is: just check the content of this wiki. Pure random stuff, fan-fiction, and the likes.

It would be nice if the community sees the problem and discusses this issue.

That's all. Keep the ball rolling! wikiman meet. talk. 17:24, November 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi wikiman! The Wiki seems to be very popular and obviously has attracted quite a community! :) I wouldn't worry too much about it - it has plenty of pages (well over 3000) and plenty of people like it. I suppose it's no different to having a "Fanon" version of a Wiki. The Idea Wiki is a Fanon version of... everything?


 * Thanks for posting your concerns - if you sill have concerns then feel free to contact Staff at Special:Contact/general. Good luck! --Spongebob456 (Talk) 17:31, November 29, 2012 (UTC)

Hey Spongebob456!

It's cool to have 300 pages, be popular, but... you don't seem to know about the difference between "Ideas" and "Fanon". Fanon means fan-fiction. Ideas are... well, ideas. The Idea Wiki clearly states on the front page: "A collection of ideas that you can change". I think they're social-oriented ideas. You should check closely the bulk of the articles.

Well, you can discuss further this problem. Hope we're in touch! Any other person wants to discuss, anyone? wikiman meet. talk. 18:42, November 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, as long as the Wiki is not inappropriate then it doesn't really matter what it's about to be honest. A lot of people seem to use it - so I myself don't have a problem with the Wikis existence. Maybe you could ask one of the local Admins there, to ask how the Wiki should be used. They'll be the ones who know best! :) --Spongebob456 (Talk) 19:43, November 29, 2012 (UTC)

The wiki's not inappropiate, but the wiki's title doesn't seem to match the content of the wiki.

Admins you say? Yeah, there's the admins, but it happens that they're inactive for a long time. They were Swerty and Deathgleaner. They both didn't touch/seen the wiki for almost 2 years. I'm trying to become one (when adoption happens). I'm trying to change the wiki.

Plus, the two of us may seen not enough. Hope there's more people to discuss this issue. wikiman meet. talk. 01:13, November 30, 2012 (UTC)
