Ally with Commander Keen wiki?
I remember at one point there was somewhat of a push to find other independent wiki sites for related topics to do link exchanges with, still evidenced by the "Affiliates" link at the bottom of the front page. Has the Commander Keen wiki on shikadi.net ever been considered/approached for something of this nature? Are we still doing this general kind of thing? -- ETTiNGRiNDER (talk) 19:18, 10 December 2018 (CST)


 * Sure, why not? If it's community-based, copyleft, and retrogamer-friendly, we're already in the same neighborhood even without the developer heritage.  :>  You'll have to ask Quasar for the exact procedure, and it can take a while to coordinate with the external admins.  Since it's id-related, perhaps it even belongs here?  HTH.  Ryan W (living fossil) 07:19, 10 June 2020 (CDT)


 * I did in fact but they didn't seem particularly interested at the time. --Quasar (talk) 23:30, 23 June 2020 (CDT)

What's the difference between article and page ?
Just a newbie question for someone who is totally new to this wiki system but still finds the system quite attractive and organized.


 * According to the MediaWiki documentation:


 * By default, a page is counted as an article when:


 * it's in the main namespace (meaning its title doesn't have a prefix like "User:" or "Talk:"),
 * it contains at least one internal wikilink (e.g. the text "Main Page" creates a wikilink to the page titled "Main Page"), and
 * it isn't a redirect.


 * So articles are your beefy "real" content generally speaking, whereas pages is just a raw number of content items, including such trivialities as templates, help, metadata, etc. --Quasar (talk) 23:28, 23 June 2020 (CDT)

Update related games section?
"Related games" has companies in it, should we rename it to "Related games and companies"? -Lokbustam257 (talk) 06:47, 25 November 2021 (CST)

Question
Why is the main page unprotected? It is a major traffic page that any user, even those not logged in, can edit at will. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 17:16, 10 July 2022 (CDT)
 * Probably because it doesn't get enough vandalism to warrant it. (From observation, I think the talk page gets more spam.) Gauss (talk) 17:24, 10 July 2022 (CDT)

Important: Your newest affiliate
Greetings. I regret the anonymous manner, but if you don't know who you are dealing with, I would hate to see an independent wiki disintegrate.

The Independent Fallout Wiki, a vanity project funded by Kdarrow now she goes by Kid Aces), has just partnered with the Doom Wiki after she was expelled by Fandom. She will claim there is a plot against her and her family and make countles excuses, but in reality, she was banned with cause.

Fandom did not disclose it publicly, and confirmed the decision after subsequent investigation. While the community was pissed at first, they started investigating the matter on their own:

See here. She purged content from the wiki, harassed other users, banned whomever she disliked, and then apparently forced someone to sign a "contract". Details are sketchy, but if it's who I think it was, she basically abused an autistic guy.

Another user who crossed her, a Fandom guy (or gal, I think she's trans) and an admin who's been there since the beginning, was attacked by Kdarrow/Kid Aces with the use of forged Discord DMs to make her out into a sex predator.

The community decided to block her permanently. She retaliated by seizing control of social media accounts using passwords she took from other admins and wiping them out.

I'm not asking anyone to take concrete steps. Just be aware who you're dealing with and take caution when speaking with her. Always have a witness present (not someone who works with/for her), and keep her away from anything that relates to Doom Wiki governance.

I'd put my proper handle here, but after recently being harassed by her, I need to take this step in order to maintain self-respect and distance myself. One of her people is known for digging up and doxxing people, and I do not want to risk a swatting. Chasseur d&#39;Grail (talk) 07:16, 9 January 2023 (CST)
