Miraheze is a wiki farm that was launched on July 22, 2015.[1]
Why It's a Miracle
- There are many helpful community members, especially the stewards and the global administrators.
- It's completely ad-free, which means that its users have more privacy and its wikis have more freedom of content than users and wikis on other wiki farms. In addition, users don't have to worry about inappropriate ads appearing.[2]
- It has many more features than on Fandom and other wiki farms.
- For example, wiki owners have much more control over their wikis' settings than on other wiki farms thanks to an extension named ManageWiki.[3] They are able to control what individual user groups can do and even create their own custom groups, among other things.
- Miraheze also has hundreds of extensions that wiki owners can enable by themselves through ManageWiki,[4] unlike Fandom, which only has 49 extensions, 17 of which have to be enabled by Fandom staff, not by the wiki owners themselves.[5]
- Many good wikis can be found on the site, such as:
- Pizza Tower wiki
- Weirdcyclopedia's reboot
- Randomness wiki
- Rain World wiki
- Massacards wiki
- Ballmedia wikis (The famous ones)
- Honkai Gakuen wiki
- Strip Poker Night at the Inventory wiki
- Their site engineers won't hesitate to fix any bugs and are open to feature requests.
Bad Qualities
- You have to request a wiki instead of being able to create one yourself, although it's to make sure that wikis don't violate the Content Policy.
- This is also why it's quite hard to set up a wiki at times, as they may decide not to accept a request, as the reception wiki has recently banned it.
- Because it relies on donations, its servers can be slow sometimes, and issues can occur.
- For example, an outage in mid-November 2022 caused about 1,400 wikis (about a quarter of the 5,500 wikis Miraheze hosted at the time) to go down.[6]
- From March to June 2023, the wiki farm was rocked with severe drama due to the actions of a single user named Naleksuh, who was later community global banned.[7]
- Resulting resignations led to severe shortages in critical positions such as Steward, Global Sysop, etc., which in turn led to requests taking much longer to be processed. Fortunately, this shortage ended in January 2024 when WikiTide began merging with Miraheze and most of the volunteers who resigned returned.
- At the beginning of November 2023 a user named UVA that initially was a reader of this Farm, started to creating chaos using IP accounts for searching questions from the stewards. Later He has gained a bad name as a user and plus He got the global lock.
