Should have been a blog.

Hello. I just created this account and you don't know me, but this is over so might as well get this over with...right?

So I have decided to leave (even though I never created an account and just read the pages) because of these reasons:

1. lack of interest - I first discovered RWW and Qualitipedia in 2020, and let me tell you, I was so amazing reading which things were good and bad, and I was convinced and followed them. I was 12 years old at the time, and since then, I have outgrown it quickly and find them to be boring. Also, this leads into my next reason:

2. Personal stuff - Since I am 14, they assign a lot more homework in high school, and in that case, I can't really read these. Even when i finish, I just play video games so what is the point in finishing to read the pages if I' not gonna read them

3. The stupid ban reasons that made me laugh - Proof that the vandals will never stop until they get what they want

4. Politics - The anti-SJW pages on CGW are blatant propaganda against them. I don't mind them, but these are just forcing your political agenda down people's throat's. Little bit hypocritical since you guys are neutral.

5. Drama - There are so many arguments and fights that it results in me laughing my ass off seeing these.

6. Waning hope - Ever since the RWW and FWW were closed before in August 2021, I have started to lose hope in these. I mean, sure there are very good and funny article's, and people are interesting, the only that said the nail in the coffin was that TigerBlazer mentioned in her departure that 80% of the wiki users are toxic.

7. Blog posts being restricted to autoconfrimed - The reason why I am typing this in discussions.

That is the reason I decided to leave.

If you want to find me, I am active on discord and FANDOM with these usernames:

Discord: Loving#1347 FANDOM: Lovinghaydeisaac1224

Other than that, see ya.

another one bites the dust

He's blocked now, and he can't involve in Qualitipedia-related discussions on Miraheze Meta, so if this still needs to be said because of something happening on another wiki, it should be said on that wiki.

Yes, I know he's a disruptive user who's done a great many questionable things in the past, with the recent one being his apparent obession with Qualitipedia, despite its current state and inevitable closure, but please don't send any hate towards him, like, please don't send him any death threats, hate messages, doxx him, or even harrass him at all; it'll only make matters worse for all of you and bullying him won't make you any better than he is.

This includes you, @GyrineZ and @War Incarnate, as well, since you two have been extremely toxic towards Bluba and acting like that to him or any other user makes you look just as bad, if not worse than him, so I politely ask that you lay off him with your nasty replies to him or you'll get in big trouble.

And what I mean by that is that while admins like Zangler or Bukkit are no longer here to deal with toxic users, Stewards like @Dmehus or the like might come in and give you a warning about your behavior and Miraheze's Code of Conduct, and may say that he'll block you if you continue that kind of attitude towards Bluba, so do your best to maintain a healthier behavior in the future. Thanks.

I'm still here, not that active but I'm still here.

I'm still here too what you onto bro :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Okay.

I just wanted to comment a little.

Dmehus is not a steward. You can find a list of current stewards here. They are observing the wiki but not intervening until closing the primary RfC. Given nobody wants to manage this dump they might have to be the ones to take action. But since there are still people with powers I would say this.

Bluba should be blocked. He is obsessive, incompetent and frankly disruptive and has been given far too many fair chances. Before Fatburn rolls in with his shpeel - it is not a personal attack, it is a fact based on his actions and 'planning'. GyrineZ and War Incarnate should be formally warned; last chance. HeavenSmile's railing about toxic users is ironic because if someone was keeping up with that he should be on the hitlist right after Bluba for his antics. A block for at least several days would be the least he should get from his behavior. DuchessTheSponge should be warned for similar but less extreme reasons as GyrineZ and War Incarnate. Throwing out someone's real name even if yes, you can find it with basic research is a jackass move. jrStudios should grow up and cease the pitiful self flagellation, it only looks silly and is obviously attention seeking. All listed users need to move on and do something better with their lives.

Bluba's antics in particular however is evidence why this charade needs to stop. Get a glock and double tap this broken horse while it's down so you can find a more healthy stable.

I agree with all of this. Currently, I’m trying to ignore Bluba as much as possible.

I’ve just got one question: When do you think Bluba might be banned?

( I know you aren’t part of the staff, but I’m just wondering if you have a good estimate. This is probably a stupid question. ).

I am not in contact, and cannot provide an estimate.

It would be rather pointless to block me given that all eight wikis will be closed in 5 days.

I still feel that Bluba should be warned, not blocked. Most of their previous blocks were unfair. Ones after their unblock in September 2021, if not after their block changes in December 2021 are fair enough, but most of Duchess and MarioMario456's blocks were unfair.

I agree with this as my warning(s) on Bluba's talk page were too harsh, but it doesn't change the fact that Bluba's behavior is so disruptive it is compared to a disgruntled at best.

Okay, no offense but I think you had enough mini-modding for the day. Honestly, while your warnings to him sound justified, you don't even have the admin rights to give him warnings or even block him so I suggest that you inform the admins and moderators about troublesome users so that they'll be the ones to warn them next time.

Okay, maybe I take back about what I said about blocking him on one of my comments. The wikis are about to close in a few days so it isn't really worth it to give him one.

I agree. In fact, Bluba should be blocked for two weeks. That way, we won't have to deal with his obsession over Qualitipedia.

Just so you all know that I'm not a fan of Bluba or his actions, and we're not really friends per se (no offense to you, Bluba), but lately he's been getting harassment from other users, and I don't think anyone, regardless of their antics, deserves to be bullied that way in any shape or form, since that doesn't make them look any better than he is, so this whole topic is my warning to those who've been harassing him.

To be fair I don’t see any point of blocking him now, it’s not really like the wikis will be open for much longer

While I'm also not a fan of Bluba's actions either, I have to agree that users shouldn't even harass him since that's just wrong and doesn't make one better.

You don't have to agree with each other but making abusive attacks is where the line is drawn. I would like to see the users who have made such attacks apologize to Bluba asap.

Glad I wasn't involved in this. It just felt like your average Qualitipedia drama that I've witnessed countless of times. It kinda reminded me of how SaveCartoonNetwork had a similar experience where he was harassed just for making a lot of questionable/opinionated blogs on Terrible TV Shows back in late 2019-early 2020 (somewhere around that time), which in turn, right before that, was similar to how Wage back on FANDOM (known as EmoticonRules!) used to behave during his early days of contributing to Qualitipedia. Seems like history is only repeating itself...

Do we really want to spend our last moments arguing and building up more drama that ultimately destroyed us?

FatBurn0000 says he has plans for a revival! I just hope that all Pro-Qualitipedia users will contribute to the revived wikis.

I thought this was supposed to be good news.

So that's your definition of "good news", eh?

He's Professor Farnsworth.

Who's Professor Farnsworth?

Watch Futurama and all things shall be made clear.

That was partially a Futurama reference.

Yes, because Qualitipedia not closing after all is good news.

Objectively good news?

Not good news.

Not good news, I don't want this place revived, nobody wants it to be revived.

Wrong! 46 people voted oppose on the RfC to close Qualitipedia. All 46 of those people want Qualitipedia to stay open. There may even be other users who didn't vote on the proposal who want QP to stay open.

There are more people who want these wikis gone than there are who want these wikis to stay.

You don't know that. Only 127 users voted on the proposal. Qualitipedia has thousands of users.

"Thousands" is a rather exaggerated overstatement. At the very most, there'd be around 300-350 frequent visitors/editors.

Still, that is a lot of editors who didn't vote on the proposal.

And that doesn't include inactive users, who will be in for a rude awakening when they find out the wikis close. There will be massive backlash, I am predicting it now. The steward's noticeboard and community noticeboard will be flooded with users begging the wikis to be reopened.

Most inactive users retired due to the issues of Qualitipedia.

Well there are still a few hundred users who didn't retire.

Update: It isn't really a revival, FatBurn just said he wants to move all pages to The New Reception Wiki.

We most likely won't be moving much pages aside from ones from non-Qualitipedia reception wikis. Most of them will be recreated from scratch.

If this is true, I request that you leave my pages out. You can find a list of them here.

They aren't even "your" pages. They are Qualitipedia's pages, you just made them.

I will have to respectfully decline. ALL pages will be imported to the new wiki.

The reason why I would like to start from scratch is (a if we're going to import all pages, we might as well keep Qualitipedia open, which is what is being avoided and (b the pages are one of the many reasons why Qualitipedia is hated, so starting them from scratch can prevent bias.

Reception wikis are NEVER a good idea. For one, reception is subjective, nor does it dictate the QUALITY of media.

We are not trying to say that the things said on pages are objective facts. We are documenting and explaining all parts of reception.

Still same.

No it is not the same. We are documenting collective opinions, that is all.

Then can I ask what you intend people to think after reading that documentation? Do you expect them to agree with it? Challenge it?

Well to gain knowledge of what most other people think, especially if it a piece of media they haven't seen/played/read yet.

Bluba, this is why I will continue to go after you as long as this wiki is open and your sorry ass is here to populate it.

Seriously, you're worse than people like GyrineZ & Blazikeye. At least they have some sense of mind, it's just they express it in a bad way. You have no sense of mind and express it all in unadulterated stupidity.

This is why no one will ever like you and why you have no friends irl.

Stop being uncivil. Your last comment is clearly too far.

You don't have the right to decline on his behalf if he is the principle author.

I do so! Author or not, he gave those pages to Qualitipedia, pages are not "owned" by anyone. I refuse to not save or import any pages.

It's a simple, basic request. Rewrite the ones he did if you care enough. If he is the only one who wrote the page, then grant basic courtesy to them and let it get deleted, then make a new page about whatever media it was.

But wouldn't it just be easier to import the pages. Whether or not he wants them gone, it is a piece of history and we cannot just erase it.

It would be even easier to delete them.

For something as minor as this, yes you can. Not every single thing has to be archived. If the sole author doesn't want something as minor as a handful of pages, just delete it and start a new one.

YES EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE ARCHIVED!!!

NO IT DOESNT!

YES! IT! DOES!!!!!

Stop being childish. For your sake I hope you're not 17. If so you're well behind the maturity curve.

Also, archiving will not help. Even with archives, a website, when closed, is still technically gone. Archives do not keep websites alive, they just are a useful way to prove things. You cannot edit things through the Wayback Machine.

Unfortunately that is true. Which is why we should reboot these wikis and maybe try to start a new Qualitipedia community with different users.

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

Also FatBurn, why did you even revive The New Reception Wiki anyways?

I revived it because I wanted to revive and continue working on the pages on the old wiki. I'm aware TigerBlazer already did that with the Chill Place but they privatised the wiki, though luckily it's still possible that they can get moved due to the questionable way the wiki was privatised.

The fact that you still use phrases like “AntiQuals” and “ProQuals” explains a lot

Shut the fuck up Bluba.

Please.

Even though I don't approve of some of the comments coming from people who support the closure of QP, you're still an annoying ass piece of shit thorn in the back and deserve all the shit you're getting right now.

I think you need to be blocked for that kind of behavior, which is violating Miraheze's Code of Conduct: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct

I'm not sure about blocks, but they certainly deserve a warning.

The CoC policy should be warning enough, if not, then War Incarnate will probably get a 1 or 2-week block for intimidating behavior/harassment.

I'll admit I went a bit too far. I won't try and come up with an excuse to defend my conduct here, other than I really did not approve of Bluba's conduct and something in me kinda snapped.

While I think some people on the "support" side have made comments just as bad if not worse than what I've said so far I won't try to use that to justify my actions.

Even though I still dislike Bluba, I will cease with my current style of hostile comments towards Bluba. I might still criticize him occasionally but I'll try to make sure my comments don't come off as too hostile.

- War Incarnate [contact me on my talk page or on Discord, where my tag is War Incarnate#0721]

Also, avoid saying that you "dislike" users. It's not a COC violation, but it's best that you don't share opinions on users.

Please be civil.

I agree with FatBurn here. Although I strongly oppose the idea of a reboot, don't insult other users.

I'm already preparing templates and categories for pages about games, transferring all pages from CGW and AGW is only a matter of time.

I would also like to add that my first page created by me has already moved there.

Please don't include my pages, thank you.

I will. because ALL pages need to be archived.

@ZeusDeeGoose Why do you not agree to the transfer of pages? Don't you think that archiving your pages on another wiki is a commemoration of your prideful deeds?

I don't support the idea of a reboot.

He clearly isn't proud of them if doesn't want them on. I can't think of one reason why such a basic request was denied. Is it so hard to leave them out?

Yes it is!!! All pages must be archived. Everything on the wiki must be archived.

And they are not "his" pages, they are Qualitipedia's pages.

Given who is trying to take charge, I think it is. I doubt they'll bother to do it correctly and they really will try to shove multiple wiki dumps together. I'd love to see the technical mishaps that come of it.

Tbh the best thing bureaucrats can do is simply not offer dumps, and allow these things to fade away peacefully. Such was my conclusion about releasing the website wiki dumps. People will dump them somewhere else and the bullshit will continue. I only regret not then hitting the delete checkmark before I resigned from Steward.

No! We must let these wikis live on, even if it is just on the Internet Archive/Wayback Machine

There is no point in anyone arguing with you anymore. Somebody could write the most detailed explanation covering all bases and you would just say the same thing. QP good.

Agreed, that's why he should have stayed blocked. I'm starting to think he's just a troll trying to piss us off.

I'd argue that making this new wiki is also undermining the efforts of the closure RfC.

I agree with you, TigerBlaze.

I don't see a need to continue this.

I'm thinking I might create a wiki about deleted scenes in film and television. Any important pointers I should keep in mind?

In your wiki request, be very descriptive of what you're going to cover. I generally always decline wiki requests with less than a sentence or two in their wiki request. Also pick a descriptive subdomain, not something generic like "movies" or "tv" as that'll 100% be declined. Before making a wiki request, make sure to read the Code of Conduct and Content Policy which both tell you want Miraheze expects from you as a wiki admin and what can happen if you don't follow the rules.

It's gone.

I'm just asking because I'm not sure if you've set an exact date and whatnot.

The 27th.

The 27th of September.

The 27th of this month.

Alright then, just wondering. In that case, I'm gonna prepare to leave.

Goodbye.

I wish there was a way for wikis to be locked so that the wikis never get deleted. Regardless of the community, the wikis are still useful as an encyclopedia for determining the quality of media.

Yeah, I agree. If only there was a way to preserve them...

there's going to be a dump of the whole thing

As in someone's archiving it?

not just "someone" but bucket specifically

ed: not just bucket

A dump of each wiki will be saved automatically by Miraheze if the wikis drop off the service and were not made private, regardless of Bukkit's involvement.

I have asked Agent Isai on Discord and he said either on the 27th or 30th.

User is no longer active on this wiki.

Where is this in the MediaWiki CSS? I did a search but I couldn't find it.

I don't have time with people bitching about me, these projects clearly fail and this is for the greater good. -_-

I was going to make an article for Fantastic Toys Wiki but for some reason that wiki closed. Asking it here is my only option despite that the toy reception wikis are no longer part of Qualitipedia.

You should ask Duchess if he can reopen them and give them to you.

DuchessTheSponge closed it because "oNlY kIdS pLaY wItH tOyS". He also closed the roblox games wikis for no reason.

I'm not too concerned about the closure of the toy wikis, but the Roblox game wikis I would agree should be revived. There is still Perfect Roblox Games Wiki though.

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.

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.

Better not to argue with you.

I have decided to leave these wikis after I've caused heat on Crappy Games Wiki, so I'm going to focus on other stuff just so that I'll not cause any trouble for the admins and stop with my very questionable edits, it's just I've realised I haven't been behaving well and have caused trouble a lot, so I'm leaving for good, so bye guys.

And to GyrineZ, I promise I won't be negative and hurtful to you, and sorry for harassing you anywhere.

Goodbye Qualitipedia, I will never come back ever again, you guys can now block me since I don't want to be on these wikis as an editor and just do other stuff instead.

Just because some madman who wants to close this wonderful place ?!

>wonderful *try not to laugh (Hard Mode): Fart Edition*

99.42069% FAIL. 👌😂👌💯💯💯💯🅱️🅱️🅱️🅱️🅱️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💩💩💩💩💩

You insult me ​​and dozens of honest people who point out your weak qualities, Bukkit is preparing a dump and we'll see who'll laughing! It's You who is the funny ones, you want to condemn those 9 years of hard work and dozens of interested users just because you can't cope. It is YOU who will disappear, not the website.

Honestly, you might just be worse than Bluba with your obsession with QP. It's quite concerning. And besides, how exactly are arguments like "NoOoOoOo I lIeK TeH wIkIs" and "tHeY cAn Be ImPrOvEd" pointing out the supporters "weak qualities"? If anything, you're only pointing out you and the opposers own weak qualities with this behavior.

What, someone trusts me, I'm safe now, thank you, I apperciate, I will now stay on these wikis for good.

Don't force yourself to stay on the wikis just because some QP fanatic defended you. If you truly feel that way in your first post, then I can almost guarantee that you'll be a lot happier moving on from these wikis.
