'''Category: NeoWiki''' — a 'NeoWiki' is the collective used to describe {{tag|MediaWiki wiki farm|MediaWiki}}-powered wiki sites | '''Category: NeoWiki''' — a 'NeoWiki' is the {{Cambridge-Dictionary|collective}} name used to describe {{tag|Free MediaWiki wiki farm|MediaWiki}}-powered wiki sites; with hosted [[:Category:Wiki Topic|subject matter]] primarily including [[:Category:Video games|video games]], [[:Category:Anime|anime]] and / or [[:Category:Manga|manga]], [[:Category:Comics|comics]], [[:Category:TV show|TV shows]], [[:Category:Entertainment|entertainment]], or other similar [[:Category:Hobby|hobbies]]. All NeoWiki wiki sites are displayed with a {{Related|custom skin}} called {{tag|AdBird}}, and are hosted at [[Neoseeker]] (all wiki sites being a sub-{{Cambridge-Dictionary|domain}} of <tt>Neoseeker.com</tt>, {{Cambridge-Dictionary|eg|e.g.}} <tt>GTA.Neoseeker.com</tt>), who in turn are owned by [https://neowiki.neoseeker.com/wiki/Neo_Era_Media Neo Era Media, Inc.] (founded 1999), from {{tag|British Columbia}} in Canada. | ||
Neoseeker | Neoseeker {{Cambridge-Dictionary|promote}}s itself as an [https://neowiki.neoseeker.com/wiki/Alternative_To_Wikia alternative to Wikia]. Whilst it is true that NeoWikis are free to create, {{tag|Free MediaWiki wiki farm|free to host}}, and free of enforced politics, with no annoying {{Cambridge-Dictionary|pop-up}}s, 'less' {{tag|advertising}}, and claim to "have a strong focus on our community"; it would appear they are a valid alternative to Wikia. However, it is <u>crucial</u> to note that unlike [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]] who primarily use the free-to-share [[:Category:Wiki Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike|Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike]] (CC-BY-SA) license, Neoseeker are {{Cambridge-Dictionary|diametrically}} the exact opposite, in that every wiki site must agree to {{tag|Wiki Site retains copyright|sign over copyright}} to its parent company, Neo Era Media, Inc.<ref>[https://neowiki.neoseeker.com/wiki/NeoWiki_Wiki_-_Neoseeker:Copyrights NeoWiki Wiki - Neoseeker: Copyrights]; ''NeoWiki.Neoseeker.com''; Neo Era Media, Inc.; accessed 8 October 2018.</ref> One major and reassuring advantage over Wikia (originally, https is now also used by Wikia since their rebrand to Fandom) is that all NeoWikis are accessed by the '{{Cambridge-Dictionary|http}}s' {{Cambridge-Dictionary|ssl|SSL}}, or 'Secure Sockets Layer' secure connection protocol, as certified by Cloudflare Inc ECC CA-3 from San Francisco. It is also important to note that in order to [https://neowiki.neoseeker.com/wiki/Special:Createwiki create a <u>new</u> wiki site], one must be a [https://www.neoseeker.com/accounts/register.html Neoseeker registered] [[user]] (which includes {{tag|ConfirmEmail|confirming a valid e-mail address}}), and then [[:Category:LoginToEdit|logging-in]] before being allowed to create said new wiki site. However, existing NeoWiki sites may be set to [[:Category:OpenEdit|open edit]], to allow [[IP editor]]s. | ||
