#It had less ads than other wiki farms, such as Fandom.

#Many great wikis, such as the Anti-Wikia Alliance,<ref>{{web|url=https://awa.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Anti-Wikia_Alliance|title=Anti-Wikia Alliance}}</ref> Winx Club Wiki, Weirdcyclopedia (before December 2022), Sanrio Wiki, etc.

#The staff ~~are~~ helpful ~~when they're around, which is unfortunately not often~~.

#The staff were helpful.

#~~Although it isn't on the latest update~~ of MediaWiki~~, it is still on a pretty~~ up-to-date ~~version and is leagues ahead of [https://tiresomewikis.shoutwiki.com/wiki/EditThis.info EditThis.info] or Wiki-Site~~.<ref>{{web|url=https://www.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Special:Version|title=Version - ShoutWiki Hub}}</ref>

#It often kept its version of MediaWiki up-to-date.<ref>{{web|url=https://www.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Special:Version|title=Version - ShoutWiki Hub}}</ref>

==Bad Qualities ==

#~~People have been unable to create wikis on the platform for nearly four years as of August 2024; this is mostly because it took ''two and a half years'' for ShoutWiki to upgrade to MediaWiki 1.35~~, ~~so long that~~ the ~~next LTS version, MediaWiki 1.39, released~~ in ~~the meantime.~~

#Ever since 2020, the site has degraded in quality due to a critical lack of staff.

~~#ShoutWiki is critically understaffed, only having two~~ staff ~~members that are sporadically active named Jack Phoenix and Saftzie; consequently, support times are very slow, often taking months or even ''years''.~~

~~#*Additionally, Lewis Cawte, can be extremely rude to other users and will completely disregard them in whatever dire situation they're in~~.

#It has intrusive ads that slow down the site.

~~#Its servers are slower than you would expect and have stopped functioning at random points in the past.~~
