Blog:The Ultimate Fate of The Website Wikis

Well, after the closing incident of these wikis, we have decided to put them back up after no community consensus was made to close them. Now, I think we need to decide what the ultimate fate of these wikis are, thanks to the power of polls. Below will be my reasons for why we should keep them closed (Copy-pasted from my response on a CGW discussion board).

"Okay, I know that the community wants these wikis to stay, but I think these ones should just stay gone. After all, the users on TNRW think that keeping them gone is the best idea, since there was a lot of bias and a lot of pages where based on the site/newspaper being an SJW (Read this for more info: https://www.deviantart.com/oobidashthewhatever/journal/The-problem-with-the-Reception-Wikis-888054242). Yes, it's awesome that these wikis are anti-SJW and I hate SJWs as much as Grust and my own wiki is even anti-SJW, but the fact that we are anti-SJW was plastered everywhere on those wikis (And this one to some extent). We should be a lot more subtle with this and not put it everywhere, as because of this, people think we have political bias (fyi, I have no idea about any of that stuff, so don't call me right wing or anything like that. I don't take sides.). Anther thing is that while there are some good pages (Such as the Twitter page), most are very biased and a lot are incredibly low quality, such. There is a lot of hyposcrisy too, such as having Rule 34 as a page when we have DeviantArt banned for the same flaws that Rule 34 has (As in it depends on its fandom). And of course, there is the toxicity. My goodness, the comments on these wikis are toxic beyond beleif. Not only did I have to call out a user (Who I will not name so it won't seem like I have anything against her. She even apologized so there is no point in saying who she is) for wishing death upon someone, and many other users in the past have done the same thing. And for some reason, they get high upvotes despite how wrong or hateful they may be. The people who critisise the wikis are once again right (As always), these ones have to go for our sakes. And I beleive even if we try to remove them for Qualitipedia and put up new admins, the wiki will likely go off-topic once again and lead to their deletion anyway, so them being gone is actually kind of inevitable. But to quote PhantomStrider, that's just my silly opinion."

Well, that was my idea on this, and a few other users do think this is the best idea.

"Yeah, you, TNRW users, and OobiDash have a point. The wikis should stay gone since they were full of toxicity and hypocrisy, and were overly political."

However, there are two sides to every story, as some other users have given their own opinions on the issue that are more on the side of keeping them open.

"Can't we just delete all of the bad pages? The wiki should only be closed if it's a bad idea or a violation of the Content Policy."

"Generally speaking, if leaving it open does not affect a group and pleases the other, but leaving it closed strongly affects one group and doesn't really help the other, the logical answer is to keep open for the people who care and leave those who don't to focus on other things. The key is reputational damage, and I don't believe the website wikis are much worse in this regard than the rest of QP including the flagship, CGW."

So the final verdict is, what will happen to these wikis?

What will happen to these wikis? Close and delete them. They were overly biased and political, a bad idea, toxic, have become Outcast Network 2.0, and/or are beyond repair at this point. Keep them open. They can still somehow be salvaged.
