View source for Requests for Comment/Closing Qualitipedia

==What's this RfC about?==

It's no big mystery that Qualitipedia is in a really poor state, with the staff and the userbase in general declining more and more as time goes on. However, there's a second reason that's even bigger, and is problematic for Miraheze as a whole. Let's go over these two reasons as to why QP is better off closed at this point:

===The problems with QP itself===
====The Overall Purpose of These Wikis====
I have begun to see the wikis as of late as a network that is not only a mess, but can’t even get its own concept right. People have said many times the Discord server is the better place so hanging there is much more common. And from my observations, this leads to the wikis getting barely any attention from administration despite Discord being necessary to actually communicate.

On the subject of the Discord, it’s been mentioned many times that the wikis aren’t made to be reliable. This directly clashes with the idea of using reception and pointers to explain why something is good or bad. And at the same time almost all pages are written from someone who likes or dislikes said media. So it’s actually never from an unbiased viewpoint (and the wikis constantly push users to not be biased with their claims) unless the page is written by someone who actually hasn’t consumed said media and did their research. But why try to write from an unbiased view when they aren’t meant to be for useful information? The perceived point is to write pages to discuss why the general audience liked or disliked something. But this said perceived point seems to have have been deliberately rejected. So it ends up with a clusterfuck of people trying to be “professional” about it and people who just write to gosh about their experiences.

====Failed Attempts at Improvement====
For a long while we have been giving people false hope about the future of these wikis. Ever since June of 2021, people like TigerBlazer and Raidarr have stepped up to point out the flaws that existed in the foundation of Qualitipedia. However, for every problem that was fixed, new ones continued to come about afterward and still do to this day. 

No thanks to a growing userbase and declining staff integrity, several toxic aspects are allowed to fester like biased page writing (which is unavoidable due to the structure outlined in the above section) and people constantly fighting over how to edit. The fact that this is something that occurs frequently on these wikis goes to show how unstable things have become despite reform proposals. Additions made to correct these mistakes (the moderation extension, altering the front pages, etc.) have been met with mixed reception at best and are highly contentious at worst. The broken system even allowed for incompetent admins to rise to power and make things worse. It's gotten so bad that even those that once tried to salvage the wikis (ie the names I mentioned above) have grown jaded and are quickly losing hope. Even Grust, the one who started the original reception wiki line, declared that he was through with the wikis after an incompetent admin blew a comment out of proportion and twisted it to make Grust [[mh:crappygames:Blog:My Final Blog, My Final Goodbye|look like a pedophile]] (this happened as Grust was wary of QP's reform and was willing to bail should any drama occur). To summarize, Qualitipedia has become top heavy with a buttload of problems, and whatever we try to relieve ourselves of these problems is outweighed by a continuous growth of issues, so it would be best to put these wikis out to pasture and help Miraheze's reputation heal.

===The problems Miraheze has been facing===
This is the main reason for why they should close. Miraheze, the ones hosting the QP wikis, has been facing a rather huge burden ever since QP moved to Miraheze. Their reputation has been tainted pretty badly because of the wikis, with a lot of people now hating Miraheze itself even though they have no involvement with QP aside from hosting them, and a lot of QP's problems getting blamed unfairly on Miraheze. For example, [[mh:terribletvshows:Blog:Miraheze_(2021_-_present)|this blog]] is claiming that Miraheze needs improving, yet all of the pointers are about QP and not Miraheze. Agent Isai, one of the Miraheze stewards, sent a DM to Bukkit detailing PR issues Miraheze has been facing because of QP, particularly people mistaking Miraheze for Qualitipedia and harassing the Miraheze staff as a result. [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/479516650857693204/1012814095210266624/unknown.png This message can be seen here.]

Another problem for Miraheze is that a good majority of vandalism, suckpuppeting, LTAs, etc. originate from QP, especially from insanely persistent vandals in the past such as -abigblueworld- or RollOverTheFloor. One example of this being acknowledged in addition to many other mentions about this is in this [[meta:Requests for Comment/Topic ban Reception wikis|RfC on Miraheze Meta.]] Miraheze staff members having to intervene and undo vandalism from types of accounts on the wikis is also a fairly common occurrence. In fact, vandalism at one point got so bad on the show wikis that one of the Miraheze staff had to [https://terribletvshows.miraheze.org/wiki/Topic:Va7z0env5gsk4ple watch the wikis for a while.] While this isn't much of an issue anymore thanks to the moderation extension, the extension has unfortunately proven to be [[Blog:Reasons why I hate the moderation extension|rather unpopular among users and even some staff]] and will likely get removed in the future via RfC. By removing the moderation extension, it will result in vandalism becoming a problem again, making the situation with the extension to be a lose-lose situation in the end.

I'm sure there's other smaller factors aside from the two biggest examples I've mentioned, but hopefully you all get the message about the trouble Miraheze has been facing. I know that closing QP isn't going to be easy, but it hasn't been easy for the Miraheze staff to keep them up either due to all of the problems they face because of QP, and by closing QP, it would take a lot off of their plates. --[[User:Blazikeye535|Blazikeye535]] ([[User talk:Blazikeye535|talk]]) 23:08, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

#{{support|strongest}}: Per my contribution to this RfC, everyone here has been living under false hope. Even when we tried making improvements to Qualitipedia, new problems continued to come about. Many of them have been allowed to fester and have grown so bad that more and more people have been leaving the wikis (there have been six staff resignations in August alone, including myself). This doesn't bode well for the future, as I am thinking this cycle will continue should the wikis stay open. Not to mention the wikis' losing struggle to find purpose, claiming to not be a reliable source yet trying to justify where a work goes when the pointers will always be from one person's POV. Hell, even the Miraheze staff want to get Qualitipedia off of the platform to end the negative press they've been receiving because of QP. Frankly, this is because "QP = Miraheze" is dominant among outsiders, made very apparent by [[mh:terribletvshows:Blog:Miraheze (2021 - present)|this blog post]]. These wikis have become too much trouble nowadays, so putting them down would be a huge load off everyone's backs.

#{{support}} I know I retired from Qualitipedia a few days ago [[Blog:Farewell_(for_real)|as shown on my blog here]], however, I think it's good to give it a shot to do my final RfC vote here before actually doing it for good, so here's my statement on this: Qualitipedia has overall tarnished the reputation of Miraheze as a whole to the point even the Miraheze staff themselves wanted to get them off their platform as pointed out by Marxo above, which leads to people associating that "QP = Miraheze", in fact, any types of "improvement" that was done to these wikis simply damaged and fucked it up even more, which is one of the reasons why I lost hope for Qualitipedia nowadays (but not Miraheze themselves), and that the userbase obviously isn't any better, although I was planning to abstain this as I felt it wasn't ready at first.

#{{support|strongest}} This is probably gonna be my '''ONLY''' Qualitipedia edit of 2022 but I wanted these wikis gone so bad and I felt bad for accusing the founder of pedophilia and then getting cancelled, these wikis were stressful and it's hard to make pages sometimes. There is a this and that and even then, I got stalked on DeviantArt because of them, so in conclusion I want them gone. Besides, I moved to Reddit and Fandom and those sites are beyond better in my personal side, I want Miraheze to be it's own wiki farm and NOT for opinions. We have legit reviewers and review sites for a reason and these wikis are far from redeeming.

#:<s>{{support|weak}} Honestly, with these issues, the closer makes sense. However, this is just cutting ties from people who are constructive editors, including me. The wiki needs to be like Wikipedia if I’m honest, and wikis are NOT supposed to be reliable. Wikis are kinda a hobby for me and I don’t want them all erased. In this case, I rather move QP to a new wiki hosting site, or even move back to Fandom as we got of the majority of the political bias removed.

#::<s>An additional note I want to point out is that if this RFC passes, there can be talks to bring some wikis back independently without involvement of QP, like with the character and toys wikis. For example, if the TV Show and Movie wikis both get reopened shortly after closing, I'm interested in having the rights to those wikis. Just independently though like I said. This is because I have an interest in screen content. [[User:BaldiBasicsFan|BaldiBasicsFan]] ([[User talk:BaldiBasicsFan|talk]]) 07:19, 31 August 2022 (UTC)</s> <small> Changing to an oppose.

#{{support}} It wouldn't hurt for me to see Qualitipedia go. I already explained everything in better detail on my [[Blog:Farewell Qualitipedia...|resignment blog]], but the place is just nothing but toxicity. I mean, don't get me wrong, I've met some great people here, but then I've also met some irritating ones too, like MarioBobFan, SonicFTW, RickERB23, etc. Every bit of hope I once had for Qualitipedia is completely gone now. My hope for the place was long gone before August happened, but when I did leave back in August 10, I had a tiny bit of hope that maybe it would improve itself, but turns out that wasn't the case at all, if anything, Qualitipedia has just gotten 10 times worse since I left. And at this point, I can't see it digging out the rabbit hole that it is stuck in now. [[User:JigglypuffGuy04|JigglypuffGuy04]] ([[User talk:JigglypuffGuy04|talk]]) 06:08, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
#:<s>{{support|weak}} OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH my God. Idk what to think of this... I'm only supporting this because that way, it wouldn't put everyone under much stress regarding all the flooding of sockpuppets, lack of moderation and recent drama that's been happening. If it happens then that's fine. I'm not worried. We've been at sake of trying to improve the platform for the better and nothing's come out of it. And seeing how the population is reducing a lot lately, I can see why this is put in place. It is kind of a risk though, because, yes, there is the Discord server, but apart from that, then what does that leave us with?

#{{support|strongest}} I was initially unsure about even casting a vote, since I felt I wasn't qualified or in good enough standing to do so, but after sleeping on it I've decided to go ahead. This is from the perspective of someone not in the Qualitipedia community, but instead someone who uses non reception wikis on Miraheze and has seen the effects they have directly and indirectly caused. I'm not going to attempt to explain these issues, last time I did I was really immature about it, but what this RFC says is exactly what I think and I agree entirely with it, hence my strongest support. Excuse me for how long this turned out, I'm passionate about how I feel about this.
#*:The point I agree most with the shutting down of Qualitipedia is the one that addresses that the wikis have damaged Miraheze itself. Its own host. The Discord message by Agent Isai has really stuck out to me, and it's a point some of the opposers to closure may have not noticed or fully understood. Qualitipedia/reception wikis are damaging Miraheze's PR due to their actions and the amount of problems. Some uninformed people even call them 'Miraheze Reception Wikis', 'Miraheze Wikis' or even simply 'Miraheze' all of which are not only wrong, but bordering on misinformation. Yes, it's misinformed, and people are wrong to think this, but the blame cannot just be put on them being misinformed, and it can't be put all on the user reception wikis/outcast network, because they are long gone in their concrete form, but the hate Miraheze gets as shown by Agent Isai's Discord comment clearly hasn't gone. No matter how you slice it, Qualitipedia and the rest of the unbranded reception wikis are bothering Miraheze to this very day.
#*:Checking the steward's and community noticeboards, which is supposed to be the centre for ''everything'' on Miraheze, you'll see as the archives pile up just how many times Stewards have been pestered by reception wiki users bringing drama to the Meta wiki and making it staff's problem, sometimes outnumbering requests like translation help, extension help, general wiki questions, intervention when users accidently delete rights group and need stewards to add them again, etc. Nobody's perfect, everyone needs help sometimes, but when it's this much from a small percentage of wikis, then it's worrying. And that's nothing to say of the amount of vandalism that the stewards have to deal with from these wikis. I've seen how much has to get reported. Literal lists of users. I know Qualitipedia isn't the only place that ever gets vandalised. One way or another, every wiki does. It's the sheer numbers. As far as I know, reception wikis only take up a small percentage of the number of wikis Miraheze hosts, yet issues related to them outnumber a lot of other wikis. This goes for the Wiki Requests Queue as well. I have seen users attempting to restart or duplicate reception wikis, and no matter how many times they are rejected, they still keep getting requested. It's not fair on stewards, it's not fair on other users, and it's not fair on the wiki creators.
#*:You know what else it's not fair on? Miraheze. As a wiki farm. I have never experienced one major issue so far with Miraheze technically save for database errors, but those got fixed quickly. I wouldn't call it perfect, but it's miles better than Fandom. I'm not going to sugarcoat this, I think Fandom is ''hot garbage'' nowadays. Every update seems to make it worse. But Miraheze? It's getting better and better with every new version. The amount of customisation, extensions, general freedom wikis have, all of which unpaid and ad free, is astounding, and I'm shocked Fandom is even still standing. So it's really unfair Miraheze has to take responsibility for this. It's kind of a cruel, sick joke, actually. The farm did nothing to deserve this, they only hosted them. And this is what it gets in return? Bad PR? In the world of wikis, Miraheze should be getting recognition for how good it is. But instead, it's being scorned and looked down upon just because of wiki networks who have to be so problematic - and loud about it - that it breaks the very boundaries it stands on. It's an injustice. I have never once heard of any other case of wikis actively hurting the farm they are hosted on. They didn't even take over the reputation of Fandom. Miraheze deserves to be recognised as wonderful, the standard that all wiki farms should aspire to be, and not considered one giant reception wiki, not Reception Wiki Land, not having to take responsibility for every word that reception wiki users write. '''It's absurd.'''
#*:Consider this. Miraheze lives on donations, not ads, to be a free service. I'll be donating to them myself. If Miraheze was permanantly associated with reception wikis and all the trouble they've brought to the table, what if people no longer donated because they thought Miraheze was responsible? Donations probably come from older and wiser people, but rumours and misinformation can be devastating. Without donations, all of the wikis would close, not just Qualitipedia.
#*:This is for the people opposing the shutdown of the wikis because they like them or they think they can improve - by wanting them to stay because you like them, you're letting the wikis stay a burden on a farm, stewards, wiki creators and other users that they don't deserve. If you cared about Miraheze, about how other people feel, you'd let the QP staff remove them from this service.

#{{support|strongest}} You are absolutely right on this point and I agree with the closure of Qualitipedia, which unfortunately we are unable to make this place ever better. I would like to say right away that these Wikis have also been fused by me, that due to many of my bad decisions in terms of articles management and my immature behavior towards some od the users. But the main reason I don't see the point for its existence is because absolutely every article '''is not objective''' - the truth is that everything we wrote was '''based on our opinions or someone else's'''. Even if you want to keep the concept of crappy/awesome media, the definitive solution would be '''removing the whole Why It Sucks/Rocks and Redeeming/Bad Qualities sections from any single article''' because as I said, it's '''subjective'''. Everyone who still visit Qualitipedia, should use their own brain to make your own opinion, instead od relying on someone else's opinion.

#{{support|weak}} These were the very wikis that got me into Miraheze as a whole [via the now-closed Rotten Websites Wiki], all the way back in 2020. Seeing this RFC two years later, to close the very wikis that got me into reading wikis... well, I'm mixed on it, especially since I've personally liked what this wiki has to offer and they've given me insight into a variety of things, helping me form opinions I wouldn't have otherwise. However, even as someone who's not a contributor [past or present] and instead relegates themselves to reading these wikis, I've seen how far the wikis have fallen, and how much their flaws have shown and will continue to show/get worse for as long as they stay open. I've been on the Discord, and many people there sure as hell don't have a positive impression of these wikis. Understandably so, for issues that people [past contributors and current longtime ones] have pointed out before me [i.e: bad userbase, a LOT of drama, a fundamentally flawed purpose that it can't even succeed at, you get the idea]. And while a lot of the bad press Miraheze gets because of this wiki farm is frankly people being unreasonable [again, pot calling kettle black], the fact it's even happening in the first place simply speaks volumes on how much of a bad state these wikis are in. Admittedly, I am thankful for the fact that there will be an XML dump of this wiki so that nothing is lost forever [should this RFC pass], and I hope to see them on a different host someday, but sometimes the only path to victory is through loss. This is one of the few times I feel that it is what must be done, especially given the magnitude of the issues here.

#{{support|strongest}} It's Grust.  I know I said I would never return and I stand by that but I've been paying attention to what's been going on with Qualitipedia since I've been gone from the ummm "ugliness" last year so I decided to make a new account temporarily.  I've been going back to reread my old blogs on Qualitipedia which kept me up to date on QP news.  Though I can't forgive what happened last year (And don't go blaming Duchess or Sporeshroom as the sole reason as I've seen Duchess' talk page last year as everyone that believed it are just as guilty though I can forgive individually and have mostly forgotten what was written) I kept some hope that what happened would be a learning experience and the wikis would redeem themselves.  Then Tigerblazer announced his first departure when he said that 80% of the users were very toxic.  What little hope I had left died and I started to not only hate my own creation but I grew to regret making it.  Then SuperStreetKombat made a blog announcing a week off claiming to have gotten rape threats for doing their job.  Then another user left for good citing death threats over disagreements.  Then I saw Luuka's blog on AGW wiki.  If what he said about the umm subject matter is true, it made the incident last year completely meaningless rendering the fourth paragraph of my farewell blog worthless.  And finally we have August where you lost nearly 6 users some of which were admins or bureacrats.  And I'm a regular at ThePackagedReviewers YouTube video and not only pointed out how toxic the community has become but how boring they were as well with so many excessive rules for making a page making the wikis feel more like a business than a place for fun.  Like I said I didn't want this place to be professional, I wanted it to be a place for fun. And sadly yes, your reputation has now gotten so bad Miraheze is suffering as well and from what I'm hearing even the Miraheze staff don't even like QP very much.  Even if this RFC fails, with more good users leaving and toxicity increasing, I'm pretty sure eventually the staff will close you down anyway.  So no matter what I think QP is doomed anyway.

In fact, an incident happened in the 101DS community in September 2021 because of the brainwashing from QP, which resulted me getting banned from the Discord server. Not only that, but some of the users I have met are a pain in the back like ThisWas for an example. So yeah, even if I do miss the wikis, this has to be done.

But besides we have different opinions, but because of the controversial events that happened over the website, It is best that I decided to strongly support this request of comment as I definitely agree to all of the points as said in the RfC.

# {{Support}} I used to think it was a fun site where I could put movies and have reasons why they're good/bad. But many things started to go hell, and it's so bad that the founder regretted founded them. Worst of all, all of the drama over little things, and more people leave.

#{{support|strongest}} Unfortunately, the idea of Qualitipedia and reception wikis have poorly executed and I feel like it would be better if Qualitipedia gets closed. If I would give out examples, '''these would be:''' Qualitipedia do get one-sided just like any other mainstream medias. Like a show having terrible animation and plot but without knowing that people enjoys the show because of these reasons (this also applies for controversial medias except for which deserved a negative treatment). Even worse, during when Grust administered these wikis, Qualitipedia was heavily anti-SJW and pro-GamerGate (without knowing that GamerGate had awful points such as doxxing, and harassment, and not even being backed by GamerGate), and we still got remnants of GamerGate apologism on our pages even if we try to get rid of politics of Qualitipedia. When reviewing media, Qualitipedia never been primary and always get surpassed by other professional reviewers. We we actually haven't been professional at all.

#{{Support|strongest}} This is probably the only time I will ever make a comment on these wikis, but during the drama between SephSpace and Qualitipedia, I became good friends with the so-called "traitors" and truly began to realize what a shithole these wikis really are. I will admit, I actually was somewhat interested in the site back when I first saw it on Miraheze after seeing the article on Modern Family Guy on the Terrible TV Shows Wiki. It was refreshing to see a review site that actually bothered to go against the masses and give the criticism some media deserves. However, over the last couple years, I began to see some serious issues with how these wikis operated, largely on the fact that these types of sites will never be able to form a consistent opinion due to differing opinions over certain subjects (look at what happened to Pokemon Sword and Shield and Super Mario 3D All-Stars, for instance). Plus, there's the fact that some wikis are, and I say this honestly, retarded. I mean, seriously, a wiki about praising or criticizing fictional characters? What the actual fuck?!  It wasn't until the Grust incident that, basically exposed the users for what they are. After seeing so many critics of the wikis get banned, that was the final straw for me. I searched for every source that criticized these wikis and made them no better then the rest of the people they criticize. Unfortunately, that ended up getting into its own drama as well.  These wikis may have been a neat concept on paper, but as you can see, it ends up creating nothing but a hotbed of drama. I honestly feel pity on Miraheze for having to put up with these "wikis" for so long, as it's actually a pretty good alternative wiki. I even frequent a few wikis myself on there, like All The Tropes and Real Life Villains Wiki. However, these wikis have dragged its reputation through the mud, and everything anyone has done only made it worse. I think it's time to end this website's suffering, and close down these wikis for good. [[User:DemonDragon77|DemonDragon77]] ([[User talk:DemonDragon77|talk]]) 16:16, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
#{{support|strongest}} While my credibility is ruined by what I've done, it's still important to consider everyone's views. I have many testimonies about the way the Reception Wikis went. I've worked for the Wikis for 3 years from 2018-2021, and I've seen it turn from a decently reliable source to a neckbeard training camp. At its zenith in 2019, it had a high potential to become one of the next official review sites even if its true colors was merely hidden well due to the Outcast Network that kept drama away from the mainline. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a necessary evil as the drama spilled over into the mainline Wikis and sent them in a civil war in the last quarter of 2020. All solidarity between users has been broken now that they blame the Outcast Network for their own problems instead of taking responsibility. Every last ditch attempt to save the Wikis have never had the desired effect (including the crackdown on my insurrection on June 2, 2021. It's like the Tiananmen Square massacre of the Reception Wikis and is almost on the same day), and the time I got banned from the Discord server for my allegiance with Rama while favoring Mar the pedo was the straw that broke the camel's back. I can empathize with those that want the Wikis to stay, but please understand this. These Wikis have degraded into an encho chamber between lifeless shitheads. You guys must move on with your life as I did. Accept that things have to be this way, and I'll put my biases aside to support those disaffected by the potential closure. I'll help you write better, be more civil, find your talents, etc. You guys now have seen how I've changed for the better. Love, Robert.

#{{Support|Strongest}} As a proposer. A long time ago, I used to have faith. I stayed behind last year after continuous retirements and incidents to work on this project, hoping that eventually, we all could make a change. But every step we took, three steps were taken farther back. The wikis have gotten into such a broken direction that they cannot be fixed at this point. This is going to be a long support, so please, please follow me through this.
#* In case you somehow have not read my contribution to this RfC, please consult the section "The Overall Purpose of These Wikis". In short, this is one of the largest reasons in my book to close this place because it feels like there has never been a real focus. The views of what people think the wikis should be are not what they are treated as, with the view people think it should be ending up being an extremely shaking and subjective concept at that.
#* Adding on to the main point presented in the proposal, Qualitipedia itself is entirely based on opinions. While this would not be much of a problem if each page was written from the viewpoint of the author itself, the wikis try to focus around encompassing the general public's perception of a piece of media in one page, which is in itself a rather impossible task to achieve and if actually executed in that way, would cause much overlap in the writing. But most of the time, the page itself is written around the context of the person who wrote the page, and when other people come in to edit the page or change it, then often edit wars can emerge for what view is the "correct" one when in reality, there is no objective right or wrong way to view something. I feel like this adds on to the idea that the wikis are useless. Basically, general reception is usually too widespread and subjective to actually document to a list of bullet points, and if done that way it'll usually end up getting written by someone with a biased view on the subject at hand, which presents its own set of issues alone and if edits come in.
#* For the past year people have dogpiled with their own various ideas on how to fix the wikis without any actual plan, and any kind of plan that could have come into fruition is abandoned eventually. There is no problem with ideas of improvement, but I personally feel that so many have been taken from many various parties and applied, that it ends up becoming a mish-mash of ideas, and some of them work against each other or the perceived concept of the wikis themselves entirely. And I feel this adds on to the first bullet point I mentioned, I think all the ideas people have put into place with no actual complete plan to go forward has hurt the wikis more in the end. As much as I feel like Raidarr did to make the wikis work, he also took a good chunk of the original wiki's concept out with it. QP has basically become a Frankenstein-like form of ideas that don't really fit together, and I think many of these ideas have become so set in stone that we can't go back. Where nothing else can be improved at all.
#* This has been something I have talked about to multiple parties outside of the QP circle, and I feel like I should bring it up here. The fact that QP has a bad userbase is not a new thing at all. It wasn't until now that I realized the actual age of everyone here that this was the problem. In all brutal honesty for those that are not aware, Qualitipedia consists of mostly 13 to 19 year olds. From my knowledge, very, very few adults on the site actually exist. People who have developed their brains 
#* Finally, I do not believe that there is anyone on Qualitipedia anymore that has the real ability or drive to actually fully staff this place anymore, much less to operate a whole network of wikis at once. Almost all of the users I have seen that had a basic idea of how to work on this place are all going to retire no matter the conclusion of this RfC. You will not see me, Blazikeye, King Dice, Zeus, Marxo, and many, many more people you know after this RfC concludes. So, hypothetically if this RfC fails, ask yourself: what now? I do not believe that there is anything else left for the future anyway. I have not seen anyone outside of the friends I have made along the way, the users I mentioned, or anyone like a typical user that shows anything along the same lines of what this last generation of staff had. Either way, I think this means that closing will be inevitable no matter because of this large staffing cut. This is going to make things go quicker and painlessly, instead of collapsing completely like I feel like will happen if this RfC fails. It'll only be delaying the inevitable.
#:If you read this whole thing, you have my thanks. I want Qualitipedia to be gone because I don't want people to be held up on a broken dream. People have become so devoted to trying to fix something that they do not know when to let go. Leaving Qualitipedia was the best thing that ever happened to me, because it was how I knew when to let go. I don't want anyone here to be held up on these wikis if they close, I want you all to move on and actually get a move on with your lives. I have barely any love for this place anymore. But the tiny, sliver of love that still exists wants this place to close for your own sakes, so that you can move on like I did. Most of you are going to have an amazing life ahead of you, and don't get hung up on the future because one idea you used to have faith in didn't work, because there are going to be a lot of things like Qualitipedia in your life, things that you will enjoy but have the let go of eventually. Don't let this one, small, insignificant portion of your life hang you up for a long time.

#{{Support}} Take two. Alright, I originally opted for weak support because I didn't really see where this was going to end up, but, after experiencing the hell of all the problems listed above, I fully think this should be an option. This platform is very decent at times; however, brutally honest, it is nothing short of sheep who add useless edits and overexaggerate every single thing just to further slander the product as if it was brought from the depths of hell; not to mention, the number of sockpuppeteering blocked users resort to here and there. DarkMatterMan had to reject my original vote because they were clogging up the review extension (which didn't help anything in addition to the problems), and he's giving out all his blood, sweat and tears stuck trying to battle ALL the endless supply of them. There has been so much recent drama going on (recently between Zangler's unexpected attitude a few weeks back), edit-warring, and some levels of decreasing population because of the most usually well-respected users now departing. I'm not going to sugarcoat what I say about the future of Qualitipedia. I just really don't see the point of keeping it up if these flaws keep happening. The admins have even been doing so much to improve, but what did that bring them? Nothing but more disaster. This reason for support may seem really... iffy, but I needed to say this so that you're aware of what's happening right now. Don't even especially get me started with people who only read the article and then proceed to follow the bandwagon of opinions just because of that. It REALLY irks me inside that every article I read has users who write childish comments (I write some too, but at least not to the very maximum that I hope to not reach at), constantly whine stupid sentences like "UUUgh DiD wE rEaLlY neEd tHis?!!!11!1! wHo AsKed fOr ThiS?!11??!?!!!!1111", and create unnecessary comparisons to pieces of media that relate absolutely nothing to each other. One last thing I need to mention as well: downvotes. God, they're a pain. I remember them being removed at one point. I'm not saying downvoting shouldn't be allowed, but come on, do you have to gain the audacity and constantly mass dislike every comment you see? Is that what makes you happy? Because maybe you'd like it if the same happened to you! You wouldn't mind! </br> With that aside, I honestly think this should happen for the very best and if it does, I wish every user I've met (even the ones who are just dead set annoying) a good luck to you on the way.

#{{oppose|strongest}} The concept itself is what made me interested in the wikis to begin with. I should remind you that there are still people who love contributing in Qualitipedia. Also, this wastes the time of contribution users made over the past 9 years. '''9 freaking years man!''' I also agree with Katsumi.

#:<s>{{oppose|strongest}} Yes, QP is currently in big trouble. I understand that Miraheze didn't want a worse future. However, I extremely disagree with this closure because this writing off a community that has been around for years. In fact, some users are also upset that some of their favorite wikis will go bye-bye in the future. There are better and more smart ways than just close an entire encyclopedia. In fact, I had met some great people because of those wikis. Reception needs to by reliable sources since we are not supposed to be a reliable source in our own right. WERE A WIKI! Another thing I wanna add is that the rules should be updated so we can have a more collaborative community. If this RFC passes, who knows about the future the wikis if their getting reopened or not, and when they get reopened, I bet QP will not be involved. So yeah, those are my thoughts as of now.

#{{oppose|strongest}} To be honest, I get it. I know that these wikis are unfortunately being rocked by the issues described, and I mustn't ignore it. It sometimes seems that for every gem of an article, there is a string of mediocre or outright terrible pages. Perhaps I am guilty of these myself, with my articles about why Press TV and the Olympic Games on NBC suck. However, I feel like it is unfair to all the people who have dedacated their blood, sweat and tears to these pages, to call out something they don't like. It would be like self-censoring issues and hiding when something deserves to be called out. Even if these wikis close, there will still be video games, movies, TV shows, & books that are utter rubbish. I don't know if the average person off the streets would actually change their minds by reading our wiki, but it is, or at least was, certainly worth a try. To some extent, it can also be seen as breaking of a community. I admit, I am not too active on the Discord server, and I amingine there are many users who are not. By extension, should these wikis close, they could lose contact with internet friends that gave them a sense of community. However, what I am not opposed to is taking our wikis off of Miraheze to move them to a different website. I feel much shame for the staff of Miraheze, for their project is being overrun with our name. (See RationalWiki's comparison of wikis, where they list Miraheze's actual users as "wannabe critics"). Therefore, if it is to close, it should only be temporary while we move to new hosts. Better yet, maybe we can be self-sufficient, and be self hosted. Then again, maybe I'm just too naïve. But thank you for listening to my argument, and if this is the last time I interact with the wiki, thank you all so very much. While there were good and bad times a plenty, I will never forget how important these were in my pre-teen and teenage years. Thank you all.

Closing down the wikis is like giving up whenever something is too hard, which is something I wouldn't do at all, and there are ''tons'' of websites that deal with toxicity daily, and yet these websites are still here.

Consequences with a big userbase, like even more people not knowing how to make articles, just happen, and sites like TV Tropes also have these, if only we could protect our pages better.

#{{abstain}} To be honest I have no clue but I can understand why you want the wikis to shut down because of a lot of problems to the point where it causes a lot of problems to the wikis as a whole. Now I do still want to make pages for the wikis but the wikis themselves have gotten low in maturity which is why we have some drama involving Nintendo (though resolved because of a page on CGW), ''The Loud House'' (mainly the Netflix film), ''Sausage Party'', pages on real people including the Celebtards (also resolved), the ''Family Guy'', ''SpongeBob'', and ''The Simpsons'' redirects, ''Teen Titans Go'' being considered "average" and the one time ''Pokemon'' got into drama once. Then there's also the fact that we should consider that not everyone is going to agree with a certain piece of media being on either wiki like ''Raya and the Last Dragon'' being placed on GMW or ''Sonic Lost World'' being placed on AGW due to some media being decisive all because of what critics and fans would think and popular opinions meaning that people have the right to express their own opinion. The same can apply to media that may be liked by the majority in some way yet it still managed to get some negative feedback like the Jim Carrey version of ''The Grinch'' being placed in AMW despite its cult status or when ''Fortnite'' has an additional page on CGW despite being well received even though it has flaws that are hard to ignore. Also, don't get me started on edit warring and immature users as well. Even though I will be fine with the wikis closing, I'm also going to stay neutral about this.

#{{abstain}} For now I'm too mixed to determine if we should close the wikis or if we shouldn't close the wikis. I guess what I'm saying is that maybe put the wikis on hiatus, or wait til we close these wikis for good. On one hand, I defiantly agree Qualitipedia has been going down the toilet and is losing intrest. But on the other hand, I worry the fate of what's gonna happen if the wikis do close. For the most part I used to be 100% active on these wikis, even during school class, but as time went on during this summer, evantually everything started to fade away from using the wikis. There's a few main reasons for this. Firstly, the thing I said- it turned Summer. During Summer was my time to start relaxing and forget all about my issues. And it's kinda sad to say this, but I feel using Qualitpedia was one of those issues. I think I was getting stressed out from using the wikis and seeing all the pages 24/7, so when summer began, I for the most part began to become more and more inactive on the wikis. I wasn't completeley inactive, and I still chimed in for stuff like stopping bad debates, fixing up my pages, etc. But that is way more lackluster to what I did when it wasn't summer. The second main reason I started to become less active was due to focusing on new activities. As I said, Qualitipedia surfing consumed most of my time, but when it became summer, I started looking for other things besides critiquing shows, games, characters, etc. I started making more animations, expressing my inner nerd, planning goals outside, and finding myself in the chaos of early teens. Of course, I do still critique those said things, but more suttly now. The final reason I believe I've become more inactive is actually due to Qualitpedia discord. I like using the discord more because I get chacnes to express myself even more than I could on the wikis. Heck, I'm thanking joining the Discord and meeting the admin for my redemption arc on not getting so angry or rude most of the time. I am still working on that, but Discord overally helped increase my good reputation on the wikis. So that's all my main reasons on why I haven't been on the wikis that often. What does this have to do with the topic you may ask? Well for the most part, Qualitipedia relies on the many users who help explore and critique things, but when people start losing intrest, i.e. me, many users start to act rude, selfish, toxic, and pathetic, and that has lead to the tale of many infamous users like MBF, SonicFTW, FB0 (well, not really but was) NoYB, etc. Whilst some of the users did try to redeem themselves, it didn't do much. But I'm not going to continue this debate only saying the wikis should be closed, because I have words on why they shouldn't, and it has to do with everyone I met. I have met and bonded many people on the wikis, many of which I relate to. That goes out to TigerBlazer, BaldisBasicsFan, PlantyBOI, Zangler, Nidoking, ShawnTehLogoBoi, and my first ever Qualitpedia friend, Alex-5170 (I probs spelled that wrong sry e). So I'm worried if the wikis end, my relationship with them will start falling apart, and I don't want them. They have helped me so much during my journey on the wikis, and I don't want that to stop. So yeah. I'm really sorry this is way longer than it should, but I just want my best input on the issue.

I never got bored with browsing the wikis, as there are still good written pages and some that could be improved and concept has some value to it. I get that Youtubers and websites can review the media the same, QP has this compact format that is quick and simple, it's a niche review medium that has flaws but it works in the end. Reviews are always subjective its expected to have some opposition and thats why the reviews have to be written clearer. I would be more '''okay with closing them''' (particularly the TV shows wikis, that needs a reboot getting messier on every article) '''if we want to make a more refined wiki''' that hopefully remains faithful how the original wikis wanted to be and have a stricter vision. The rules are admitelly a mess (too many of them and kinda vague, needs more specifcation on what media is allowed like allow obscure or fan content). It can possible to fix if the community was invested enough but chances are appearing low. Nonetheless if they do close, It has been a good time editing and browsing the wikis, the fun was great while it lasted.

#{{Abstain}} I was unaware that Miraheze was having problems with Qualitipedia, but that shouldn't be a reason why they should be shut down. I'm abstain my vote because Qualitipedia has been going downhill due to completely unnecessary changes that I haven't seen other people talking about. The removal of celebrity pages on all wikis and the celebtards page on TT&EW, the deletion of decently-written pages due to "weak pointers", the removal of anything sjw-bashing related, and the removal of anything that involves politics such as the racewashing page on AMW. I really don't want to see Qualitipedia deleted, but I also want to see it back the way it was and I know with certainty that it will never happen, which is why I don't care if the RfC passes. There aren't a lot of websites that allow you to talk freely on controversial topics so I find this as a place for fans of mediums to speak out their minds without being afraid of being censored or canceled (even if this was unintentional). Maybe I was wrong assuming this, but this is why I originally came here in the first place. I'm sorry to hear that the admins are having issues with an influx of new and current users causing problems, but what else should you expect from dealing with children?
