Forum:Changing SmashWikia's identity

I'm going to try and see what happens if we try to change what SmashWikia is (e.g. a parody wiki or a fanon wiki). Then anyone who wants the real info will come here while the other guys can go there. Please comment here. Toomai Glittershine The Undirigible 12:34, 23 March 2011 (EDT)
 * I think you might need to explain a point to the wikia why we should remain a normal wiki and why they should change to a parody of fanon wiki, chances are they might think that we should change into the parody or fanon wiki.-- Shaun's Wiji Dodo  talk  [[File:Untitled-1_copy.gif ]] 12:39, 23 March 2011 (EDT)
 * I still say everyone on this Wiki goes there to support turning it into a fanon Wiki. How can the staff refuse us if all overwhelmingly agree to turn it into a fanon Wiki? It's better than leaving things as is, with that Wiki becoming vandal hell and incompetent users trying to take over the Wiki, getting the staff involved.

 * If we do win, who will change the wikia into a smash fanon wiki? There isn't enough users with enough experience already to stop vandals.-- Shaun's Wiji Dodo  talk  [[File:Untitled-1_copy.gif ]] 17:05, 23 March 2011 (EDT)
 * Uhm, me, Toomai, and Mega will still be there to deal with vandalism. Omega   Tyrant  [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 17:07, 23 March 2011 (EDT)
 * The vandalism isn't a problem it's if the wikia decides to change into a smash fanon wiki who will change it?-- Shaun's Wiji Dodo  talk  [[File:Untitled-1_copy.gif ]] 17:11, 23 March 2011 (EDT)
 * We don't need Wikia to decide for us, we decide ourselves. And we'll be the one to make the switch and get things started. Omega   Tyrant  [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 17:19, 23 March 2011 (EDT)

it's probley the best move-- kyle.b  talk   10:53, 24 March 2011 (EDT)
 * Wikia know that we have all moved away. They will not listen to you and will revert any changes you make on changing it to a parody wiki, unless you do them on the sly. Wikia will probably just ban you for trying to "ruin the wiki" or something. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 15:22, 24 March 2011 (EDT)
 * Regardless of whether you think it would work or not, mention your support for turning it into a fanon Wiki on the forum there. The larger the consensus appears there, the better. Omega   Tyrant  [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 17:00, 24 March 2011 (EDT)
 * I'll have to do it as an IP then but I will do. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 17:38, 24 March 2011 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I was about to say you could use a sock puppet considering your anti Wikia history. Omega   Tyrant  [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 17:47, 24 March 2011 (EDT)

It is very hard to stay civil sometimes. Miles ( talk)  17:53, 24 March 2011 (EDT)
 * Same staff member removed my rights "for abusing my power" and gave me a month block after Slipknot Darkrai apparently reported me for giving him a three day block for removing content. Each time DaNASCAT been asked how I abused my power and to show proof, he has ignored. Omega   Tyrant  [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 18:01, 24 March 2011 (EDT)
 * I had my admin rights removed by Sannse for joking. We were discussing changing the name for the Wikia Simpsons Wiki to differ from Wikisimpsons and I suggested changing to SimpWiki as that would mean it would be less searched for. I then had no admin rights... ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 18:04, 24 March 2011 (EDT)
 * I would also like to support in any way I can. However, I do agree with everyone else that is going to be a tough task. All we can do is keep piling the supporters.- Ivy 73 [[File:002MS.png]] 18:23, 24 March 2011 (EDT)
 * Go on SmashWikia and mention your support. Omega   Tyrant  [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 18:32, 24 March 2011 (EDT)

people are mostly going to smash wikia instead of here, i have not seen one person without an account here-- kyle.b  talk   08:16, 25 March 2011 (EDT)
 * One time IPs edit there more often as they're often not aware of the move, but they do edit here as well. Omega   Tyrant  [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 15:41, 25 March 2011 (EDT)

I support. Unfortunately, since OT banned me from wikia, i can't post my support. Zeldasmash (talk) 13:24, 25 March 2011 (EDT)
 * Create a sockpuppet or support as an IP. If it passes, I will ask Toomai to remove your block. But removing your block now for you to support would look bad. Omega   Tyrant  [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 15:41, 25 March 2011 (EDT)

So apparently, Wikia can force unwanted ads on all of its wikis without them being allowed to do something, but they are free to veto even a notice that a "competitor" wiki with 99+% of the activity even exists? Miles ( talk)  13:47, 25 March 2011 (EDT)

Apparently. Isn't that the reason why we moved here in the first place? --Spenstar (talk) 17:13, 28 March 2011 (EDT)
 * The move was due to several factors, though Wikia's oppression and forcing unwanted things upon its Wikis can be cited as the primary reason. Omega   Tyrant  [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 17:15, 28 March 2011 (EDT)

I support the change and I support Miles. I can't believe what daNASCAT is doing. Doomolish (talk) 22:40, 3 April 2011 (EDT)
 * Power abusive users from outside the Wiki having more power than the admins and bureaucrats the community chose is a major reason why we left Wikia. Omega   Tyrant  [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 03:30, 4 April 2011 (EDT)

how can someone who just showed up have more power than an admin or buerocrat-- kyle.b  talk   10:58, 5 April 2011 (EDT)
 * Because that is the way Wikia works, it doesn't want the communities of their Wikis actually running the Wikis. Omega   Tyrant  [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 11:01, 5 April 2011 (EDT)
 * Because he works for Wikia, or at least is studying to be a worker for Wikia. This was one of the issues that started talk of a move in the first place.-- Shaun's Wiji Dodo  talk  [[File:Untitled-1_copy.gif ]] 11:13, 5 April 2011 (EDT)

so its pretty much a free for all over there?-- kyle.b  talk   12:14, 5 April 2011 (EDT)
 * Nah, more of a dictator-like situation, and the dictator has lost all his followers.-- Shaun's Wiji Dodo  talk  [[File:Untitled-1_copy.gif ]] 12:18, 5 April 2011 (EDT)

gone mad without power-- kyle.b  talk   12:28, 5 April 2011 (EDT)

So does this mean there won't be a fanon wiki after all? --Spenstar (talk) 16:56, 5 April 2011 (EDT)
 * Not sure, Wikia won't let go. Omega   Tyrant  [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 16:57, 5 April 2011 (EDT)

There is actually a Super Smash Bros. Fanon wiki on Wikia. SeanWheeler (talk) 19:37, 5 April 2011 (EDT)

great, another setback-- kyle.b  talk   10:56, 6 April 2011 (EDT)


 * so what do we do now?-- kyle.b  talk  [[Image:KirbyHeadSSBB.png|20px]] 11:45, 8 April 2011 (EDT)


 * Well, I left a long message on DaNASCAT's talk page (I'm My name is Blade btw) in the hopes of changing his way with things. I doubt it will work though but worth a try and worth getting that off my chest. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 04:37, 9 April 2011 (EDT)
