Forum:Is there a Central wiki for the Wikia community to socialize?

According to Template:i, The Wikia Community Central is a wiki designed to coordinate Wikia's many communities, help users find help with their wikis, and learn about all the latest news. This makes it inappropriate to simply socialize, i.e. share personal facts, favorites etc. It kind of contradicts MediaWiki:Welcome-user-page asking people to tell us about themselves, but personal pictures uploaded always get tagged with Template:i as well.)

So is there an official Central Community wiki that can be used for socializing? -- ◄mendel► 20:32, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * w:c:social looks like a good candidate. I don't know if it's official or if there's a true "official" off-topic social wiki. -- 20:38, August 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * w:c:social is a graveyard of activity, not a central socializing hub. -- ◄mendel► 20:55, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Granted, best-named wiki I could find though. -- 20:57, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

How about trying to create a group on some social network site for wikia-only? We're a wiki after all, can't we just stay to our encyclopedia-content. -- Light Daxter -  Talk  21:23, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not on any social networks, I'm on Wikia. It's a shame I only get to interact with other editors when Wikia does something to alarm them; we have forums, blogs, personal pages etc., so why not have an actual "Wikia Community" wiki? But if it's just me starting and promoting it, it'll look like the one pcj linked above. -- ◄mendel► 21:29, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps that's what this wiki should be. I've been wondering for a while what the main namespace content should be.  The more people we can draw here to get help and information the better.  So any content or other draw to the wiki as a whole would be great -- sannse (help forum | blog) 16:01, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * The problem is the wiki's mission statement (This is the place where you can meet up with other Wikia community members to talk about your wiki, learn about what's happening on Wikia, and find help. (link)) and User page policy. There are already quite a few people who start "personal" blogs here, put personal info on their userpages and upload personal pictures, and then someone puts Template:i on that and deletes it, in accordance with that policy.
 * Of course that doesn't solve the question of what to do with the mainspace. Another idea that's been mentioned was to open up the help wiki some more; if that was the "content", a wiki community could form around that. -- ◄mendel► 05:37, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
