We can, but we rarely do. It's our day(s) off work, so we tend to be doing other things.
I've dealt with the ticket.
Graceava054, this was a conversation from September, and it had been fully answered. Don't necropost please. Thank you
Necroposting a little bit, just to say...
One thing to consider here is that multiple copies of the same content can be bad for SEO. That's part of what can happen with a fork, but it also can happen with a test wiki.
I recommend only importing a sample of pages, enough to test with, but not the whole wiki.
I'll emphasize that. You can mention vore if necessary, but then there is probably no situation where it's necessary. And certainly vore images are not, I can't think of any situation where those are needed.
In general, if it's a fetish, it's not okay to write about it or post images of it
Not all wikis have discussions. If they do, the link in under "explore" in the menu under the title (^ there). Blogs are the the same, not all wikis have them. If a wiki does then go to your profile and look for the blogs tab
I'll share a version of a reply to a support ticket I took recently:
In general, we do not allow wikis on political topics. And in most cases we strongly discourage discussion about political issues on existing wikis.
However, there is a bit of wiggle room there. If the politics is directly related to the topic, then it may be okay. For most wikis that wouldn't happen, there's not going to be political discussion related to Dora the Explorer! But it might be more likely on another wiki.
The local admins (alongside the community) can decide exactly how to use that wiggle room, from allowing relevant threads to banning all political talk.
My recommendation would be to allow discussion of politics directly related to the topic, but always in a factual and non-combative way. The admins/thread mods would be charged with stopping any thread that gets in any way heated or disruptive.
But you may find it best to just stop the discussions totally. As Tim said in the blog, there are plenty of sites available to have such discussions, it's not needed on Fandom.
Yes, I agree it's not defined well. But a valid topic is one that is based around a distinct topic that other people can edit. It can be very personal in the sense of being a passion project that isn't going to build into a massive wiki, but it's not personal in the sense of "me and my mates messing round with a wiki about us and our stuff".
I've made a note to define this better in the future
No, personal wikis are not allowed. You can create a test wiki if you need one (but only one) but other wikis need to have a clear topic. They can't just be "stuff me and my friends like/made up" - even if you let anyone edit.
I'm pretty sure it's a known bug, but please report it to the support team, and they will look.
Because they are off-topic for Discussions here. This is a space to talk about Fandom and the wikis on Fandom.
I suggest Googling for a support group. There are lots out there, and they will have people able to talk to you about your unhappiness.
The simple answer is to assume it's not about you, and go about your normal business without interacting (including by posting about it, like here).
Dni takes two to work, you need to put in the effort to not interact with them, while you are asking them not to interact with you. For example, It's not reasonable to expect them to ignore this post about them if they happen to see it (and it wouldn't be surprising if someone told them about it)
If you need to talk to someone privately about this, please use the contact form. But ignoring is the best remedy here.
As for the more concerning elements of the post, I'll look into it. Thanks.
Because if it is, there are some changes that need to be made to the settings. Mainly that the wiki has to be logged in only.
We actually already have a bot here. It removes obvious bad posts using AI. It leaves a lot behind because it's set to be very careful, it only removes obvious spam and things like posts without any content. I do spot checks on its deletions, and all looks good so far.
We are actually experimenting with a new version. New editors on some wikis will get a message from a staff member (actually from a bot) welcoming them to the wiki. If someone replies to the bot, the real person will get notified of the reply. I think there are 4 of us "welcoming"
Please give a link to the page, it will help people diagnose the issue

But if your sister has lost access to the email address and the password, there won't be anything they can do.
(and we definitely wouldn't give out the password to anyone - we can't, staff can't see your passwords, although we can change them)
It was a chat-only wiki. Discussions are supposed to be in support of a wiki with a suitable topic. They aren't supposed to be simply a place to chat.
If there is a serious problem, and this is necessary, then it can be done by staff. We tend not to do it in general though, usually specific protections are enough
You are welcome to create a new account though
