So, on the Internet, there is so little competence if we are talking about WikiFarms, and Wikimedia is the king of the wikis, so, why not Wikimedia start hosting wikis for people, probably dominating the wiki market, and probably killing FANDOM with his aggressive ads, bad support, vandalism and little customization to his skin

[edit ]- Strong oppose. Outside of the scope of the Wikimedia Foundation. There are plenty of fine alternatives like Miraheze, which is ad-free and non-profit. As far as I can tell, they don't do any of the shady business practices of Fandom
- Miraheze can be pretty slow for wiki approvals being community handled, also, probably is at danger of being shutdown Emilianooo (talk) 03:27, 25 December 2023 (UTC) [reply ]
- For future reference Miraheeze seems to have undergone volumetric shit compression (explanation) Dronebogus (talk) 06:42, 20 January 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
