Yes, this system means we have duplicates and near-duplicates (like Robin's examples of niche Nerf wikia) but we don't see that as a big problem. In fact, it can have advantages. As Dartmaster said, we sometimes encourage people to make a wikia if they can't work with an existing one. It's not because we don't care, but because it can be an outlet that stops disruption on a wikia, and because it can provide healthy competition for a wikia that is not being well run.

So overall, we believe that allowing duplicates is the best route. We have room for them on our servers, they take little staff time, and they give their creators what they want from our service... a little space of their own to try and grow a community. so with the above listed excessive numbers of wikis on the two example topics, from your response i take it that staff isn't going to intervene to eliminate those that have been dead for quite some time. while i agree that it doesn't harm, there is no reason to keep dead wikis laying around.
