BoyWiki: Difference between revisions

|status            = In preparation

'''BoyWiki''' is a [[wiki]] associated with the "[http://FreeSpirits.org Free Spirits]" network that is devoted to discussion of "BoyLove", which the site describes as "the strong feelings of attraction and affection that {{tag|adult}}s feel towards boys".  The [http://en.boywiki.org main page] of the site notes, "en.boywiki is rebuilding from our extended offline period.  Articles are being restored from the previous database.  New user accounts can be opened but editing permissions are not automatic.  BoyWiki also needs an administration team.  For editing privileges or interest in joining the team, contact [email protected]". Stub articles are called "fledglings" on this site; its [http://en.boywiki.org/wiki/BoyWiki:Fledgling page on the subject] notes, "In real life, a fledgling is a young bird just beginning to learn to fly. It is often used metaphorically about an inexperienced or young person, or a young entity or enterprise."

The original [http://en.boywiki.org/wiki/BoyWiki:Text_of_the_BoyWiki_proposal BoyWiki proposal] called for a hierarchy of a Keeper, Curators, and Scribes. A number of security measures were introduced, including only allowing the Curator team to add images, disabling all tracking or displaying of IP addresses, and enabling the complete purging of problematic edits from the database. The site was deliberately put on a separate domain from the rest of Free Spirits in order to distance the wiki's collection of many different opinions and viewpoints from expressing any official endorsement of content by Free Spirits.
