#fandomwiki — Public Fediverse posts

When Rainverse Wiki left Fandom, Fandom maintained an abandoned copy of the former Rain Wiki. On August 10, that copy was vandalized with transphobia. Since there were no active admins, no one in the community could ban the vandal. A few days later, Fandom responded to the vandalism by closing their copy of Rain Wiki. 30 days later, Fandom has now deleted their copy of the wiki from their servers.

While transphobic vandalism is bad, the wiki's deletion from Fandom is good. Fandom is still using the text of wikis to "train" a procedural bullshit-generator, and inserting their procedurally-generated bullshit into articles. Now that Fandom deleted Rain Wiki from their site, it will not be used for that purpose. Aside from the ethics, our wiki is of substantially higher quality even before Fandom's was vandalized. We have more than twice as many articles, and our articles are more detailed.

Google, Bing, and Yandex still have cached versions of Rain Fandom Wiki, including some vandalized pages. You can hide those results from searches by installing the browser extension Indie Wiki Buddy, maintained by @[email protected] . The extension redirects you from Fandom wikis to equivalent ethically-hosted wikis. If no independent wiki is known, it can redirect to BreezeWiki, a privacy-respecting proxy for Fandom. It also has the option to hide Fandom results from searches.

Fandom is still hosting a copy of My Impossible Soulmate Wiki. That wiki has had no edits since May. We also have more than five times as many articles just about MIS. Unlike the now-deleted Rain Fandom Wiki, the MIS Fandom Wiki does have a semi-active bureaucrat. Though we recommend our wiki over the Fandom version, we hold no animosity towards the bureaucrat of the Fandom MIS wiki, and we ask that you do not vandalize his wiki and create more work for him.

Monopolith/Fandom has officially deleted the outdated copy of PTW on their site! The only place to find Pandora's Tale Wiki is now on @[email protected] . #PandorasTaleWiki #Miraheze #MirahezeWiki #Wiki #Fandom #Wikia #FandomWiki #Monopolith

Today is the one year anniversary of Pandora's Tale Wiki!

I started this project as a way to more easily update the list of characters, in the hope that I could eventually use it for a Volume 2 Character Tournament. The list of characters was the first article I created:
https://pandorastale.miraheze.org/wiki/Characters

In the past year, PTW has grown to include 64 main-namespace articles, and 431 pages in total. Just in the past two weeks, we broke free of Fandom.

What comes next for Pandora's Tale Wiki? There are always more tasks to complete to make PTW a better reference:

Currently Miraheze works as a host, and they are much better than Fandom ever was. However, there is still some uncertainty regarding their future. Miraheze is in the process of transitioning to a new board and a new organization. I will be monitoring the situation to see if we will need to move again. I hope any future moves will be easier, since we are now using stock MediaWiki.

Beyond changes to the wiki content and host, I will be considering when and if it will be best to get our own domain.

There has been almost no new Pandora's Tale canon content in the past year: the only new source material since the wiki launched are six one-panel previews Xan posted on her social media, handily collected on the article for Chapter Nine:
https://pandorastale.miraheze.org/wiki/Chapter_Nine

The lack of new canon puts us in a position a little bit like that of WikiBound, which was founded in 2010 and has had no new Earthbound canon since then. However, we have much less material to document than the WikiBound editors. Hence, continued expansion of Pandora's Tale Wiki will depend partly on whether Xan provides us with Chapter Nine and beyond.

And as always, Pandora's Tale Wiki is a wiki that anyone can edit. If you're a fan, you are welcome to contribute.

Let's have a great year two!

Whelp, #Miraheze is shutting down. I had submitted a data import request to try to move #PandorasTaleWiki to MH, but I guess that's futile now.

#PTW will remain on #Fandom / #FandomWiki for the forseeable future, but I will continue to make local backups in case self-hosting or moving to another host becomes viable.
