User:Trig Jegman/Poll

Please indicate your interest in the idea of an independent fan content wiki. It would generally include page spaces dedicated to original characters, plotlines/roleplaying, gear sharing, design, and more—visually looking similar to Inkipedia. Please only vote with your name and keep all discussion to the discussion section.

Very interested

I would rather use the existing general Fanon Wiki

Would it allow a large amount of images to be uploaded? I am somewhat interested in making comics (although I am not very good at drawing), and I am not sure if something like that would be allowed. 00:01, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes. In theory, as many as one wanted (in reason lol). Trig - 00:40, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Would the new site have some of the same templates as this one, such as those used for characters or Splatfest dialogues? ArgentuTA164 (talk) 04:17, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * If called for, sure. Trig - 05:29, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

It says "it will look visual similar to Inkipedia". My worry is that people will confuse the actual Inkipedia with this new site, and misinformation will spread to social media and Inkipedia self. It should look significantly different imo. So what does it mean with visual looking similar? Islar74 (talk) 09:53, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * It would use the same MediaWiki skin and rough layout. It would be very much branding wise and possibly colorwise distinct enough to be abundantly clearly that it's not the same site. This is because a lot of users do not like the relative design of the existing Fanon Wiki or are offput by its differences in some way—keeping it familiar on a dedicated site may make it more welcoming.

We don't need to be involved in this, and think it would actually be best if people were encouraged to do this for themselves in fully independent and decentralized ways. Break free of those platform-capitalist "I can only use specific websites that already exist" chains! Making your own things with complete creativity and freedom is still a thing that's possible on the internet in 2023 (thank god), and there are a lot of resources to help you do it! And you'll learn a ton too! Go make a page/site on Neocities, or Glitch, or GitHub Pages, or – hell – a Neopets Petpet page if you really want to be I'm-totally-not-a-zoomer-I-promise-look-how-amusingly-retro-this-is about it! These things are possible! (I already expressed this stuff informally via Discord but putting it here for the sake of transparency & not having discussions on + about the internet behind the walls of non-indexable 3rd party private chatrooms.) –Eli (talk) 15:37, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

If you're tempted to include it as a compromise for the Inkipedia community to express their creativity, that would be amazing! I specifically emphasize the "the Inkipedia community" part because being a part of the group you're helping to and ability to express yourself within this group is important for people as social beings, in my personal opinon. That way there's no need to create user pages on tons of other platforms and link them here, it always looks messy when different people use different platforms so other people are forced to adapt to all of them to express their opinions on these pages. Having a way for Inkipedia community to share their art and characters within Inkipedia is totally a good thing. It won't hurt the wiki itself that much if you decide to restrict the ammount of user pages and images and won't do anything more about it, but if you want to help people with that by creating uhh sub-wiki of sorts? that would be cool and less dismoraling.

Two questions 1: when would the be created and 2: would this be like a subspace of the inkipedia or a new page Ratch
