I want to make a wiki that only lets the administrators see it. —This unsigned comment is by Lithrawind (wall • contribs) . Please sign your posts with ~~~~!

I'm afraid that's not possible on Wikia. One thing you could do is use a Sandbox and just preview your content, then save it to Word and upload it to a site like [skydrive.com Skydrive]. What were you thinking of making? Iggyvolz 21:15, February 13, 2012 (UTC)

Well, I'm in a collaborative writers' group, and we wanted to make a wiki to keep track of all our characters, places, and other terms, but we don't want anyone stealing anything we've made. —This unsigned comment is by Lithrawind (wall • contribs) . Please sign your posts with ~~~~!

Look into Google docs or another wiki farm that allows private wikis. Rappy 21:19, February 13, 2012 (UTC)

Google wikis are not MediaWiki-based from what I've seen at code.google.com. I haven't found a wiki FAQ for sites.google.com, but I assume it is the same (Google Code wikis are MoinMoin-based). -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 13 Feb 2012 1:40 PM Pacific

I didn't mean Google wikis. I was assuming from a "collaborative writers' group" aspect that a private Google spreadsheet or word-type document would have sufficed. Rappy 00:27, February 14, 2012 (UTC)

Sounds like a share doc or spreadsheet would not be so great for what the OP wants. As much as we complain about Wikia when we do, most MediaWiki-based competitors aren't so great. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 13 Feb 2012 4:58 PM Pacific

(Reset indent) MediaWiki isn't a catch-all solution to everything. Google docs I don't think has as good version control, but it is much easier for a new user to get started with. There are advantages and disadvantages for both. -- RandomTime 01:03, February 14, 2012 (UTC)
