User blog:TheWearyandHeavyLaden/Silent Hill Wikia, that deserted town

Hello, everyone!

Today I will be talking about the Silent Hill Wikia. No, not that one, silly.

Wikia allows many Wikis about the same fandom to exist alongside each other, and this Wiki is one of them. As the name says, it's about the Silent Hill franchise. It was created last year in December 2015, however, it was extremely short lived and died soon afterwards. It only has 7 pages and no active contributors.

However, this doesn't deter me.

I look at a dead Wiki not something to be ashamed of but something that can be fixed- after all, there are many dead Wikis that are adopted and revived. Though the Silent Hill Wikia was born in conflict within a fractured fanbase, it also had grand dreams, and so do I.

Now, I'm not undermining the years of work the main Silent Hill Wiki has done, nor am I condoning the new Silent Hill Wikia's explicit jab against the Wiki's past. Their past is best forgotten and left behind. But I just like to imagine that a Silent Hill Wiki can be contributed by ALL fans, and learn from their mistakes to make a better environment for the community. Maybe just somewhere to casually collect information.

I'm not the Admin or Bureaucrat of the Silent Hill Wikia, I'm just a bare-bones contributor and I'm adding little by little content veery slowly. And that's still difficult when you don't have much time, or any people to work alongside with. So I would like to point out to fans that there is an alternative Wiki, it needs contributors who will build it from the ground up, and a community committed to working together.

You may think that there's not much else to contribute after so many years after the last game, but believe me, I'm working on a Wiki where this TV series haven't had any new material since 1999 AND I'm still learning things about it! So don't be shy and go ahead, contribute and learn!

Thanks for listening.
