Category talk:Wikia

I'm not sure this is doing what we want. I'm totally down with not wanting the sub-category, but this way Wikia doesn't show up at all in category:WikiFarm. TedErnst | talk 01:21, 11 June 2006 (EDT)

Now that I think of it, maybe all the wiki farm should be in the subcategory, or at least the ones that have wikis for the community... MarkDilley

Alright, but are we talking about a category or a sub-category? In my mind WikiFarm is a Wiki Topic sub-category. Wikia should not be a sub-category of that, I don't think, unless you're suggesting that every wikifarm should be it's own sub-category of WikiFarm, yes? TedErnst | talk 13:41, 11 June 2006 (EDT)

vibrant?

Hi, yes Wikia itself is vibrant, but not all of the wikia-wikis are vibrant. --141.52.232.84 08:50, 20 June 2006 (EDT)

Each Wikia wiki has a status link. The Wikia wiki itself is vibrant, that doesn't mean anything is being claimed about any other wiki. Make sense? Best, MarkDilley

Criticism

This article has information about Wikia. A great deal is critical but there is favourable material as well. Wikia itself tells users what is good about their site. Users should know both sides in my opinion. Proxima Centauri 04:53, 18 February 2009 (EST)

Hmm. Is WikiIndex here to list wikis or to review them? If information about Wikia's flaws is put up (and I'm not necessarily saying it shouldn't) does that mean that problems with other wiki farms should be listed? Does that mean that problems with all wikis should be listed? Is criticism actually useful? Should WikiIndex have a "no original criticism" rule, that requires criticism to be citated back to an external source?

BTW: You might be interested to know that a user called CatherineMunro edited this page. There is a CatherineMunro over at Wikia. I personally find her very helpful, and (if this CatherineMunro is the Wikia one) she doesn't seem to have removed any criticism, but it has been snipped a bit. (Mostly the cruft about Wikia being like "New Coke" - which is meaningless to non-Americans anyway - has been cut.) David Shepheard 21:14, 23 April 2009 (EDT)

WikiNode deleted

Someon over at Wikia (called Angela) has deleted the WikiNode (http://www.wikia.com/wiki/WikiNode).

I'm going to pull it from the template, but thought I would mention it here, so that someone doesn't think I've vandalised the page.

I don't know why Angela deleted the WikiNode. It might be because she doesn't think WikiNodes are useful, or it might be because the WikiNode page that was put up on Wikia was a template that nobody bothered to turn into a good page.

If anyone is a fan of WikiNodes, I suggest you hop over to Wikia and take this up on the discussion page, rather than just recreate a poor quality WikiNode that might just get deleted again. David Shepheard 20:53, 23 April 2009 (EDT)
