Forum:Parallel Wiki

I've decided I no longer want to work on the Metal Gear wiki. I can think of lots of ways to improve the wiki however I know the main admin will not allow it. what do I have to do to start a parallel wiki.

 * Hi. Starting a new wiki is simple! You can go to this page, follow the steps there, and you're new wiki will be created in a matter of minutes. Good luck! =) - Brandon Rhea (talk) 07:04, September 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Don't bother. Number one, it will never be as popular as the original. Number two, it will mainly be just you doing it. If there is already a decent wiki about a subject, don't make another. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 07:11, September 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Brandon Rhea, that's not the kind of response that I was hoping to see from a staff member. You are suposed to encourage users to improve existing wikis, not encouraging them to create new wikis about the same subject. So now wikia is a site where you create a wiki, spent a lot of effort and time to create original content, and then another person comes and just steal the contents and put them in another wiki. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 14:25, September 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * The staff seem to think that more wikis are better than great wikis. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 14:50, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

No one ever said anything about stealing content. Let's assume good faith. There's nothing wrong with having two unique wikis on the same subject. If someone no longer wants to work on a wiki and would rather start another one, that's 100% OK. That was my opinion before I became a helper and it's my opinion now. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 16:29, September 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * My opinion is (as it always has been) that another wiki on the same subject as an already existent wiki should not be made, due to the fact there is ALREADY A WIKI OF THAT SUBJECT!!! So, do not bother making another wiki of the same subject. It will just fail. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 17:48, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
