REQUEST: restore the Encyclopédie du 19e siècle wiki
Hello FANDOM council
I am here to plead for the restoration of my deleted wiki https://lencyclopedie-du-19e-siecle.fandom.com/fr/wiki/L%27encyclop%C3%A9die_du_19e_si%C3%A8cle
The fandom is part of a small niche that was meant to generate interest in history matters on this wiki creating site. I agree that I put too much restrictions for such an early wiki to generate interest and will correct that. Those rules where put in place so to avoid vandalism on articles of such an era that historical revisionists love to sabotage to propagate ideologies (just look at Wikipedia for such cases). They were also put in place in the hope of being one day recognized by scholars as reliable for its professionalism and by the public as a source of trusthwor…

The shop
So here you can sell your unmigrated (not-UCP) wikis and others can buy them for the price of giving over rights to the seller on one of their wikis, or a wiki they admin.
- Of course, no UCP wikis even if your wiki is old and migrated.
- You have to make them bureaucrat, or you could be going nowhere (unless you decide to migrate it and instead buy a wiki)
- The wikis you get should be used for good. Also applies to buyers.
- You can use different language version of the wiki as copies, but they must all be in one comment.
- Going along with the above rule, when all copies are gone, you must edit your offer comment to say Sold Out.
- Don't scam (aka giving a user powers to a wiki only to disable them later on ) unless they are being malicious with the wiki…
AVP Wikia Staff: Fit or Unfit?
Greetings everyone! I just want to bring attention to a matter on the AVP Wikia recently regarding it's two Admins: Leigh and Cruentus. I am posting this here because I am unable to interact with Xenopedia.
Specifically some behavior that I've witnessed and experienced that is detrimental to the Wikia.
Now, I won't keep anything in the dark from you all: The impetus for this was a block issued to me for 3 (later extended to 5) months by The Cruentus, the Bureaucrat of AVPW. I understand how that looks, but please give me the benefit of the doubt: my following thoughts have been frustrations I've been having for a long time now and block was the drop in the bucket to spill them all over.
Let me say this about Leigh: He's a wonderful editor. Eas…
What is the Best Way to Handle Vandals and Trolls?
Recently, there was a blog post made by a user detailing their list of steps that they would personally use to stop vandalism. While their method works, in my opinion, better steps can be taken in order to stop vandalism on your wiki. Here are some methods that I compiled, and which ones I think are best.
- 1 Revert→Block→Ignore
- 2 Wait→Ignore→Block
- 3 Message→Block→Revert→Ignore
- 4 Conclusion
A classic, and the one that most fandom staff advise you to use. This is one of the best methods for vandalism that you could use. It's simplistic, yet at the same time works well. While not what I personally would do, it works, and is a backup method for something if my other method fails. Here's a scenario where this would work well:
A random user by the name of …
Why Creating A Survey For Your Wiki Is A Good Idea
Recently on the South Park Archives wiki, I conducted a survey using Survey Monkey for editors and readers to take. Doing this brought fourth a lot of interesting data that the wiki administration could use to help better the experience for the community.
I asked simple questions at the start, and then allowed people to input their comments. Questions like "Is the wiki up to date with content", "Do you approve of the current administration" and the question that revealed the most information "What do you use South Park Archives for?"
This survey revealed lots of things from user suggestions regarding wiki features and articles. To direct feedback about the administration.
I believe this is a great way to address transparency of administration…
Achievements - Advantages and Disadvantages
We are all aware of the achievements. You know the badges you get for edits somewhat? It used to be in the wiki features. Now, you have to bribe-I mean ask Staff to enable them. So why should you or should you not use badges?
- Editor morale - Hence the name, achievements can give one a sense of achievement and a badge can show dedication hence improving the editor's morale.
- Improved community - If there's a reward, some may want to start editing and it might even be able to grow your wiki.
- Competition - As opposed to competing for who has the highest editcount, hence causing cheats by userpages, you can have competition for who's on the leaderboard and usually badges are given for mainspace edits.
- Cheating - Cheating for badges can be an issue …
Require all contributors to log in feature - Advantages and Disadvantages
Hi, you're an admin on a wiki so you would be wondering what do I do about registration? Well, you can't control that. But here's a way that can make you feel like you can...sort of. It's when you enable the feature that requires all contributors to log in, preventing anonymous edits. Here are the advantages and disadvantages of doing so.
- Possible way to prevent spam - Anonymous contributors are often associated with spam and vandalism. While this is not always true, some may still get a bit sceptical about anons. And if your wiki is one where a lot of anons do a lot of spam, that can be a way to cut down although it should be noted that registered users can spam as well.
- Keeping track of edits - Anons can change their IPs or use VPNs in thi…
