Forum:Are semi-personal wikis allowed on wikia?

Hello,

I was thinking about condesning several books of written ideas into an online wikia.

The wiki would also cover my new webseries. Since some of the ideas in the show are fargments of older idea it would be nice to have everything in one place. The main thing is it allowed have it only me as the only allowed editor and/or having any edit other peoples edits be reviewed first.

I hope I'm making sense with this. I want people to see most of it, but I don't want random edits of my work. I guess you might call it semi-personal.

I looked into Mediawiki on my webhost and I'm not too keen on the installation, I had enough issues with the url shortner

Many thanks
 * Whilst wikis on Wikia can be about whatever you want, they do have to be open for all people to edit, there is no such thing as a "private" wiki on Wikia --  Random Time  21:45, October 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * If you just want to post things yourself, you may be better off with a site such as tumblr.
 * If you want to post things which only you can edit, but allow other people to also post things which only they can edit, and have pages which anyone can edit, then Wikia may still be appropriate.
 * Wikia has user blogs, which can only be edited by the poster. Wikia also has page protection options which can allow you to restrict editing for some pages to admins only (by starting a wikia, you are an admin on it). That way you could post your webseries as blog entries and people would be able to comment on them, but not edit, or you could post them as normal pages and restrict editing - although protecting every page may be a bit excessive, and people would still be able to create new pages.
 * I'm not sure what the Wikia TOU says about restricting page editing on every single page.
 * The other thing you should understand about Wikia is that when you add anything to any page - normal page, user page, user blog, this forum post or anywhere - you agree to license under the CC-BY-SA license, which means that other people are allowed to copy and post your content elsewhere (as long as they credit you) and they can even take your content and put it in a book and sell it (as long as they credit you - but they do not have to pay you)
 * I hope this helps you make a decision. -452 00:12, October 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank You for your answers, I decided to use Mediawiki on my site.
