Editing Talk:Creative Wikis Wiki

== The User Wiki ==

On ShoutWiki, I saw a user wiki whose pages are about to be moved to this wiki. I have some concerns that we are slowly getting closer to being The Outcast Network 2.0 given the Qualitipedia page that openly criticizes users.

:Do you mean [http://usersvarious.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page this wiki]? If so, then I ''de facto'' archived that wiki (I can't prevent people from editing or creating pages, as I don't have any advanced powers there), encouraging any visitors of that wiki to visit this wiki. As for the content itself, none of its pages with any substance (exactly three) are eligible to be moved here, since this wiki's focus on users is limited to users with a significant wiki presence:
:*'''[http://usersvarious.shoutwiki.com/wiki/CircleyDoesExtracter CircleyDoesExtracter] and [http://usersvarious.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Life_Tutor Life_Tutor]:''' Belong on [https://astonishingscratchers.miraheze.org/ Astonishing Scratchers Wiki] (although Life_Tutor's page on there was protected from creation for unknown reasons by the owner of that wiki and CircleyDoesExtracter is already on there as TPRisesAgain). While CircleyDoesExtracter's page mentions his Miraheze account, it mostly focuses on his Scratch presence.
:*'''[http://usersvarious.shoutwiki.com/wiki/YiguirroRyuKyu YiguirroRyuKyu]:''' DeviantArt user with no known wiki presence. Having the article of this user here would be like having a sedan in the middle of a cornfield. 
:As for the Outcast Network, it was a group of wikis that focused on criticizing/praising people and groups. This wiki and Tiresome Wikis Wiki are far from being the next Unfavorable and Incredible Wikis and Users Wiki. To start off, TWW has better sourcing and more balanced content than UWAUW ever did before its closure. Additionally, users are banned on TWW (which is actually not my decision; it was the decision of the founder of that wiki, GilesDonor, who went inactive over two years ago). This is because articles criticizing users are likely to cause unnecessary drama because of the possibility that the user being criticized discovers the article made about them. However, if there's ever interest in having articles criticizing users, then a plan could be made to create another wiki focusing on criticizing users (here on EditThis.info, since I've basically given up hope that ShoutWiki will have its wiki creator up and running again within our lifetimes; ShoutWiki's staff have confirmed that the underlying issues with it have been fixed, but it won't be available until ShoutWiki upgrades to 1.35. I love losing the ability to easily add external links and upload images to not have to wait for an upgrade that's taking exponentially longer than it should). Plans could be made to have the wiki exist separately from TWW for some time, preferably 2-3 months, and then merge it into TWW. The only problem with that plan is that I can't import the dump of the hypothetical bad user wiki myself; ShoutWiki disabled imports for anyone but their staff. Apparently, people were importing entire Wikipedia dumps into their ShoutWiki wikis (which raises the question, why? Why would you do that? Wikipedia dumps are gigabytes in size, surely you realize that it would take at least 2 weeks to import?), but there are plans for an import queue. And three years later, it's still nonexistent.
:There are basically no other revivals of the Outcast Network wikis (Atrocious YouTubers Wiki, Horrible Vyonders Wiki, Awful Twitter Users Wiki, and Toxic Fandoms and Hatedoms Wiki)...well, besides [https://editthis.info/toxic_fandoms_wiki/Main_Page this Toxic Fandoms and Hatedoms Wiki revival] I made as a test to see if you could create a wiki on EditThis.info while logged out (turns out that you can). Anyway, any revivals that may exist are not organized as a group, so they're not technically a network. If either TWW and/or this wiki ever get deleted for any reason, then I have plans to revive them elsewhere. In fact, I'm planning to move CWW somewhere else soon, since I can't take EditThis.info anymore. [[User:Tali64^2|Tali64^2]] 00:20, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
::So will it be possible to create user pages on this wiki or will it be the same as on the sister wiki? [[user:Szczypak2005|Szczypak]] [[user talk:Szczypak2005|2005]] 16:23, Febuary 12 2023 (GMT+2)
:::You can add user pages here, but please don't create pages on yourself. [[User:Tali64^2|Tali64^2]] ([[User talk:Tali64^2|talk]]) 18:40, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
::::And what's wrong with someone creating a page about themselves? Even if I'm 100% honest, I still can't create about myself? [[user:Szczypak2005|Szczypak]] [[user talk:Szczypak2005|2005]] 15:22, Febuary 13 2023 (GMT+2)
:::::People creating pages on themselves tends to lead to this wiki being more biased than if they couldn't, like what happened with [https://web.archive.org/web/20200906200340/https://incrediblewikisandusers.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page Incredible Wikis and Users Wiki].

== Our new site ==
After a grueling two months at EditThis.info, I've decided that it has too little features for Creative Wikis Wiki to stay there. Creative Wikis Wiki has found its new host! [[User:Tali64^2|Tali64^2]] ([[User talk:Tali64^2|talk]]) 01:49, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Pretty nice. [[User:Money12123|Money12123]] ([[User talk:Money12123|talk]]) 12:08, 5 November 2024 (EST)
:Our current host is not the "new host" that is being referred to in this old thread. [[User:Tali64^2|Tali64^2]] ([[User talk:Tali64^2|talk]]) 12:18, 5 November 2024 (EST)

== Pretty Cool Visualization of This Wiki ==

I would like to tell you, Tali, that you can create nice visuals. I wonder if Tiresome Wikis Wiki will have the same visualization? [[user:Szczypak2005|Szczypak]] [[user talk:Szczypak2005|64]] 21:22, April 01 2023 (GMT+2)
:It already has. I added a similar Vector styling for TWW some time ago. [[User:Tali64^2|Tali64^2]] ([[User talk:Tali64^2|talk]]) 18:19, 1 April 2023 (EDT)

== How did you set up the wiki? ==

I tried setting up my own wiki on the subdomain wiki.gd from FreeDNS on x10hosting, but when I tried going to that domain on x10hosting, it redirected me to the Verizon Fios login saying that I need a Network Settings Password to login. How did you guys set up the wiki without any error? Edit: How do I get a SSL certificate like this wiki does? [[User:Alexrules14|Alexrules14]] ([[User talk:Alexrules14|talk]]) 17:52, 16 October 2024 (EDT)
:It appears that you are attempting to set up the wiki using your own IP address. Unless you are a web server, that approach will not work; what you need to do is point your wiki.gd subdomain to x10hosting's corresponding IP address on your free web hosting account, and it should work fine. [[User:Tali64^2|Tali64^2]] ([[User talk:Tali64^2|talk]]) 19:39, 16 October 2024 (EDT)
::So how exactly do I point the wiki.gd subdomain? How do I even edit it?--[[User:Alexrules14|Alexrules14]] ([[User talk:Alexrules14|talk]]) 20:44, 16 October 2024 (EDT)
:::You will have to delete the existing DNS record and create a new one with the correct IP address. Once that's done, just go into x10hosting's domain manager and add the subdomain. [[User:Tali64^2|Tali64^2]] ([[User talk:Tali64^2|talk]]) 20:52, 16 October 2024 (EDT)
::::How do I get a SSL certificate like this wiki does? Edit: When I tried getting the SSL certificate, it gives me the error:<br>

== Our newest site ==
After a grueling two months at EditThis.info, a grueling six months on two ByetHost accounts, and a grueling year on Fandom, this is where Creative Wikis Wiki ended up. [[User:Tali64^2|Tali64^2]] ([[User talk:Tali64^2|talk]]) 12:18, 5 November 2024 (EST)
