Forum:Please shut down Weirdcyclopedia

Forums: Index → Community help

Hi. I'm SuperStreetKombat, and I'm requesting that a steward of ShoutWiki shut down a wiki called "Weirdcyclopedia", because it's been suffering from serious problems such as excessive vandalism, edit warring, users from Qualitipedia being a little intrusive of the edits on that wiki's Reception Wiki page, disruptive users such as EijiDoesThings and, worst of all, IP users/anons such as Leerdoman74 and -abigblueworld-, and no administration whatsoever, and Salarvander, the only admin there, is no longer active on that wiki, which has resulted in all of the issues mentioned above.

I tried my absolute best to fix these problems, and I even asked you guys to let me adopt it so that I could change it for the better, but all of my efforts were in total vain, and my request to become a new admin there was a complete and utter failure, so I think that it's best that Weirdcyclopedia, as a whole, be shut down for good, because my god, has it turned into an absolute disaster.

ShoutWiki doesn't have Stewards in the same way that Miraheze does. Instead, it has staff that perform most of the tasks that Stewards do on Miraheze (in addition to technical tasks that are carried out by Miraheze's SRE). As for Weirdcyclopedia, the only thing that you can do about it is to adopt the wiki. You've already made an adoption request, but you striked it out thinking that Staff denied it. They have not; adoption requests usually take months to complete. In the meantime, be patient and continue contributing to that wiki. Tali64^2 (talk) 00:03, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

All right, I apologize for that misconception of the Stewards denying my request to adopt Weirdcyclopedia. I'd only realized that they never actually denied such a request after you told me that, so I gave up trying to fix that wiki, which is why I crossed put my request to adopt it, so, again, sorry. Also, I think I'll stick around Weirdcyclopedia for, maybe, one more month, like, maybe I'll wait till the end of February or the beginning of March so that I can keep contributing there and waiting for my adoption of the wiki. I might even uncross my request right now. However, if things still get worse on Weirdcyclopedia from that point on, then... well, I don't know what to tell you. I'll do my best to be patient till then. SuperStreetKombat (talk) 8:41, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

I also want to this wiki be closed considering this was a bad idea, so hopefully this wiki will be closed very soon. Szczypak 2005 13:10, January 24 2023 (GMT+2)

Even if this wiki has legitimate reasons to be deleted, Staff do not process requests to delete wikis on this forum. Instead, you should email support@shoutwiki.com if you want to request that a wiki be deleted. Tali64^2 (talk) 12:56, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for information Tali. Sorry SuperStreet, but this wiki must finally die because for the problems you have mentioned here. Let's finally bury this wiki for good to avoid another problems with this wiki. R.I.P Weirdyclopedia 2020-2023. Szczypak 2005 14:27, January 24 2023 (GMT+2)

NEWS: I sent the information on my Gmail to this mail! Szczypak 2005 14:37, January 24 2023 (GMT+2)

But will the staff actually close the wiki? I already decided that I should return there for a while so that I could adopt it, after all. SuperStreetKombat (talk) 8:56, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

I just sent the support my Gmail message to them asking them to reconsider closing Weirdcyclopedia and instead have me adopt it so that I can improve it. Hopefully, my promotion will come fairly soon. SuperStreetKombat (talk) 10:02, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
