Forum:Are there any popular things?

Is there a popular TV show or game series, but not BIG enough to have a wiki? Asking, because I dunno if I can make a wiki about anything and get some USERS. My "Bears" wiki didn't work out. And how do I promote my wiki? FaliusKonogami 14:14, March 13, 2012 (UTC)

To promote a wiki, simply go to this page: Admin Central:Main Page/Wikis that need editors --Welcome00
 * Sorry, Welcome00, but that way is almost definitely not going to work. I put an advertisement for Crashix on that page more than a week ago and it has made no effect on editors and probably viewers as well. Your best bet is to make a blog about it, because it has more of an effect on the "Recent Wiki Activity" box in the sidebar for users of the Wikia skin, although I tried this as well and I only got the attention of one user.

 * Yeah, I'm not sure the "Wikis that need editors" really helps, since it is mostly admins looking for editors and the editors don't know to look there. Wikia needs to have a better system.
 * You might want to read Help:Attracting contributors and see if some ideas there help.
 * If you have a wiki for a sort of obscure show or topic, you probably want to look for other sites where people interested in your show or topic congregate (IMDB forums, TV.com, fan sites, etc.) and ask if people there would be interested in contributing to a wiki about your topic.
 * Lastly, try not to make a wiki about the same or very similar topic as another wiki and try to steal their users. It is better to work on a single wiki about a specific topic or just pick a more unique topic for a wiki than splitting your audience. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 13 Mar 2012 3:37 PM Pacific
