Talk:Qualitipedia

Raise any issues, suggestions or concerns about Qualitipedia here! You may also create a blog if you prefer. Keep in mind that certain high-profile issues may be directed to a special page or blog to be focused, and that official polls and 'final' discussions may be done on a staff blog.

Feel free to use a local talk page (Discussion tab) to discuss any page or policy in particular. We will catch up to it.

Question has been answered, and Qualitipedia is now closed.

Do you automatically get banned from the wiki's associated with it?

I think what you meant by getting banned from Qualitipedia is being locally (and of course indefinitely, if I interpreted the question correctly) blocked from Qualitipedia Meta (the wiki where you added this talk topic).

The answer is no. Even if our list of wikis are indeed associated, this isn't part of the literal design of Miraheze (as far as I know), it's just an imaginary association. However, getting blocked indefinitely from a Qualitiedia wiki might result in a chain reaction of admins manually blocking you across the rest of the associated wikis.

Depends on why.

Admins have cross-wiki blocked users in the past for any reason, but they are trying to stop doing that.

Doubt we'll ever find the answer, if you find evidence, add it to pages on Reception Wikis Wiki.

Who first coined the term "reception wikis"?

That's probably something that happened on the Fandom era that we'll probably never find out about.

It's pretty clear that the community has agreed to forgive them, and the wikis are now closed.

Hi, it's me. Y'know, the guy that attempted to instigate an uprising against the Wikis a year ago? I've decided to come here in light of recent events. While I still don't like the Wikis or most of the userbase (particularly admins, with King Dice being the exception) I'd like to apologize for that incident after the hatebase has been given a somewhat bad name by Elijah, the funnimanes, DeviantArt, etc. If you guys decide to go apeshit or block me, that's fine, just remember that I've chilled out and would like to negotiate civilly.

mfw the QP closure RfC is so impactful it's bringing back some of QP's old users and "traitors"

Well, to be fair, the RfC literally regards the fate of Qualitipedia itself, and is thus the most impactful RfC possible on the Reception Wikis. Of course old users will come back to cast their votes.

I forgive you, Portrock. Besides, I actually did my best to stay out of the drama between SephSpace and Qualitipedia. Luckily for you, I am a kind of person that would be willing to give others a second chance.

SuperStreetKombat is retired, the wikis are closed, the people on PRWs RFC was withdrawn, and the website wiki RFC has been created twice and its second RFC is still going.

And those are individually about banning franchise pages, reopening the Websites Wikis, and renaming Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki and Best Shows & Episodes Wiki to Terrible TV Shows Wiki and Best TV Shows Wiki respectively.

Should I still open up each of the RfCs or should I just back out of them since Qualitipedia might close soon?

Do it while you still can.

Thanks for the advice, and all, but with the closing QP RfC still being very much active, I dunno if my 3 RfCs will get very much attention.

Why should we rename the show & episode wikis? They are fine how they are.

Well, technically, both of those wikis are primarily about shows when they were first created, and episodes were (and should be) a secondary subject like companies and channels, similar to how companies and consoles are secondary on both of the Games Wikis.

Both the web series and episodes were part of the wikis back in the day, in fact, they even had all kinds of YouTube content back then.

You haven't adressed the other 2 RfCs, by the way.

Do you really think people have a problem with everything you do? Sounds like very low self-esteem and terrible need of attention if I'm being honest.

Uh... who are you talking to?

To you. FatBurn doesn't have and doesn't need to have an opinion on the other RfCs and you don't have to force him to do that.

Who said I was forcing him (which I'm not)? I just wanted to hear his opinions on the other 2 RfCs, that's all. I'm not being forceful.

Oh-kay... that was a very bizarre (and false) accusation.

Well the website wikis actually reopening is subject to conditions that everyone is ignoring, and for as long as they do it's not going to happen.

Pretty soon I'm tempted to put them to the axe permanently since that is showing no signs of changing.

I am opposed to all three of these:

1. No, we are not banning franchise pages. There is no reason to ban them.
2. No, we are not opening the website wikis. Those wikis were inactive, and Raidarr just said he is planning to axe them.
3. Absoultely not! Putting the rebrand aside, the wikis discuss web series in addition to TV shows. If anything they should be renamed to Terrible Shows Wiki and Best Shows Wiki.

1. The reason why I think franchise pages should go is because they kinda defeat the purpose of giving each installment in a series a seperate page. Other wikis outside of Miraheze do that, so why not these ones? If I remember right, franchise pages were banned at one point during the early Miraheze days after the Reception Wikis left FANDOM. I even suggested adding franchise pages only to Crappy Games Wiki, but people somehow misunderstood and allowed them on ALL wikis, and I've regretted that suggestion since.
2. The Characters Wikis were once closed but then reopened as seperate wikis that aren't part of Qualitipedia, so I kinda thought the same should happen with the Websited Wikis.
3. That... doesn't sound like a bad idea for a rename of those wikis, I'll give you that.

That 3rd point is ABSOULTELY the most based thing you have ever said Bluba!

Oh, and I forgot to mention another RfC I wanted to make, and that is to re-allow individual pages on the positive Reception Wikis.

Appears to be resolved.

Originally I wanted to do it after the RfC ends regardless of the results but my patience has ran out. Given how I already apologized here I'd like my ban from the Discord server to be lifted (but not on the Wikis; I don't intend to crawl back to them ever). I want to reunite with my old friends and hangout on the soon-to-be lounge there after made peace with the network.

As one of the mods of the Discord server myself, I'm going to discuss with other staff members about this.

@Portrock1566Add Moisty#5936 on Discord and we’ll discuss it.

These wikis are closed now.

Hi, I'm UnboundBeartic. I've been a viewer of Qualitipedia for a long time. Today I decided to make an account and join Miraheze.org and Qualitipedia. However this is my very fist and only account on Miraheze. I'm hoping that I'll become a legitimate unlocked user in the near future. I hear that Qualitipedia has a strict Anti-Van program that requires users to wait before editing. How exactly does this work. Could you help me since your an Admin? If your unlocked on Qualitipedia are you unlocked on all of it's wikis or do you have to get them unlocked separately?

I'm not an admin, but I think you'll be unlocked automatically when moderators approve 10 of your edits on a Qualitipedia wiki. It only applies to that wiki, however.

Bukkit removed moderation.

Note that moderation is only disabled for this wiki. It still applies for the other wikis in Qualitipedia (I think).

How often do the admins approve edits that are pending approval.

I would presume as much as they can, but that may not be a lot.

The wikis are staying closed.

Hi Quadpedia. The Discord server has been rebranded, and that's cool (even though it will take me a long time to get used to). Everything is going fine. A few hours ago, someone asked why we can't give the wikis to the creators of Bad Webcomics Wiki. His reasons are

1. The work there is pretty professional and rather than writing pointers, the write like blogs or websites like IGN and GameSpot or even the earliest revisions of Plumbers Don't Wear Ties (as pointed out by Theresnoname).
2. Bias close to non-existent. Sure, some pages will mention stuff like SJW but they keep that minimum because the main focus is criticizing the product and not being politically biased (like QP with SJWs).

I agree with this idea. And your opinions guys?

No.

Heck no.

I agree with this idea too.

Look here how such a page could be written, and put this into your opinion: https://crappygames.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Theresnoname/sandbox#Plumbers_Don%27t_Wear_Ties_(Newer-style_page)

I forgot to mention one thing: Carl Filip also agrees with this idea.

1. How do we know that they want that?
2. Bukkit is already planning on moving these wikis elsewhere, so we don't need to give them to anyone for right now.

Discord exists, dude.

What do you mean?

We talked about this in the Discord server, FatBurn.

Who is "we"?

retrogamer999, Carl Filip, Theresnoname and me.

Although Theresnoname disagrees with this idea.

Three people, none of which are staff, having an agreement about something does not mean there is clear consensus to do this.

That's why i asked if you guys agree or not with this idea.

Then what was the point of your comment in the first place?

The comment where i explained the reasons or Carl Filip's opinion?

The comment where you said "Discord exists, dude."

What i meant is that you didn't know who and where it was said, that's why i said that.

Yes, but what relevance does that have to the comments I made?

That's a good question. I can't awnser that. You defeated me.

Hasn't been commented on in a month, and there is an RFC.

when I noticed that the website wikis were closed I was so angry because I actually liked those wikis, I know they were closed because of a RfC that was sucessful, but I was one of the users that was against the idea of closing them.

Here are my reasons why closing them was a mistake:

1.- Those wikis had good articles: A good amount of articles in those wikis were good like the Disney+ and Netflix articles in fresh websites wiki, the InfoWars, Goop and NFT articles in Rotten Websites Wiki. Those articles had good criticisms and were very detailed. not only that but they are also very informative and RWW made me know more about the bad side of the internet.

I planned to make an article about Pluto TV on FWW, and making more articles could make more people visit the website.

2.- Their articles on other wikis would be too out-of-place: at some point of July someone imported the TikTok article to Terrible Shows and Episodes wiki, which is a bad idea since TikTok is a website, not a TV channel.

Importing articles from the website wikis is not a good idea since they talk about websites and the website wikis are the only place to talk about them, it is just like when there were articles about YouTubers in the gaming wikis which were out of place since those wikis are for Games and Consoles only.

3.- Anyone can source the articles: A few days before the website reception wikis were closed I added sources to the Goop article, we could add sources to more articles just like how I added plenty of sources to that article.

It is just embrassing how almost no one did that.

4.- Admins could be more active, or we could have more admins: I once saw a page criticizing the Qualitipedias for having poor quality control, I think that we need to have more quality control, I once had to make an admin delete a malicious comment in an AMW article since nobody has done it, we always need to delete malicious comments, revert vandalism and block the users who do that since not deleting them could give us a bad name or even make the wikis shut down.

We could improve the articles, or even delete poorly made articles since the other qualitipedias also have bad articles on them but sadly sometimes nobody does anything about them.

Because of this, I think the website wikis should be reopened since they were closed by the admins of those wikis, not the Miraheze Stewards

My opinion about the wikis:

I think Rotten Websites Wiki was better before June 2021 because the pages related to internet movements and people were very informative and were really good for most of the time, thanks to that wiki I became more careful with the internet, I didn't really liked the idea of having pages that focus more in the userbase rather than the site itself, even if they had valid criticisms about them.

Even if Fresh Websites did not had too much activity as the other wikis, it had some good articles like the HBO MAX and Amazon Prime Video articles, I even wanted to create my own articles.

I agree that it should be back, and I think it's annoying that the ShoutWiki version is being revived into what it was supposed to be all because of its closure.

2. can be corrected by not shoehorning pages where they are poor fits. 4. suffers from a critical lack of volunteers. We'll have to agree to disagree on the merits of the wikis overall. I didn't find the articles you mentioned particularly impressive and there are infinitely better ways to 'let you know about the bad side of the internet'.

the other time I had to make someone ban a malicious user on Best Shows and Episodes wiki back in july, we always need to report malicious users to the admins, the option of banning users exists for a reason.

All the wikis have good articles, and let's not forget that the other wikis also have bad articles too.

I think the Websites Wikis should be reopened and become independent Reception Wikis like the Characters Wikis did.

It was not originally my idea but it can happen.

They were fundamentally flawed, but I don't mind if they are brought back but not affiliated to QP.

I left a wide open door for them to get their shit together and be restored on that basis. That offer never expired. However, simply reopening without remotely addressing their issues is the lazy answer that will simply recreate the problem.

I am aware of their issues, but I can fix them.

Reopining them while disowning them is a great idea.

I feel like these should be reopened, but not as a jigsaw piece of Qualitipedia, similar to the character wikis.

that is exactly what I want!

You can an RfC about this if you want.

This should have been a blog.

I love these but it is time to depart. Its cause they REMOVED the Garbage Roblox Games Wiki as a whole. It's also because I am not the best user and there is no way to revive these wikis.

So goodbye. Anything you like to ask? Respond here.

This is not the end of Qualitipedia, but a change to another place.

The wikis are closed now.

Hi, I'm UnboundBeartic. I created an account to make good-faith edits for instance, I want to build up the Dragon Quest games on the awesome games wiki. I want to add the Twilight sequels to the awful movies wiki. Plus I want to add Dragon Quest Your Story to the awful movies wiki. Please unlock me. Judging by rate at which my edits are being reviewed I doubt I will ever be accepted by the current bureaucracy. So can the admins 100% unlock me from the Anti-Van program. I promise I'm not a troll.

You aren't blocked.

They're talking about being unlocked, not unblocked. They would like to edit without moderation.
