Miraheze

Unread post by Katie » Mon Feb 17, 2020 4:00 pm

Miraheze is a wiki-hosting farm, funded by donations, and attracts the same people who edit Wikia/Fandom and Wikipedia, along with wikis in general. However, it seems that they don't bother doing any checking on wikis, as one exists that is called the Live Action Children Foot Scene!. Surely that should raise questions, as feet are a common fetish.

The creator and main editor of the wiki is DeltaRuneFan2001, who also founded the Animated Feet Scenes Wiki, which is a fetish wiki. He appears to be, judging by what I've seen, developmentally delayed. I don't mean that in a bad way - it's likely he doesn't really get how creepy it is to run/edit a wiki about children's fictional feet.

On the other hand, I don't see why Tycio, AKA Tyciol (T-C-L) should be editing any wiki, let alone fetish ones. Does Miraheze really want to be known as the place that lets paedophiles write creepy stuff about kids?

What in the world makes MIraheze so slow? Is it all the extensions they use?

A volunteer administrator from Miraheze, who also has an account on Wikipedia called Reception123 (T-C-L), has responded to the other, but similar, thread on Miraheze in this post.

Apparently, one of the co-founders of Miraheze, John F. Lewis (T-C-L), is globally banned by the WMF on Wikimedia wikis. Someone asked about this on his miraheze talk page and here is the reply:
John wrote:Information I'm not disclosing (for legal purposes) but the global ban is just text and part of a process. The physical policy behind it does not apply or affect me as a different agreement takes precedent over it.
This popped up when an IP user tried to insert a link to Miraheze on Wikipedia:Alternative outlets (T-H-L). See Legoktm's talk page and the teahouse.

Am not able to log into MIraheze websites for review as their install is still very slow. Someone once explained to me it was slow due to all the extensions. But that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Not sure why so many people use Miraheze, it's a very stressful experience all around. Nevermind the loading times are sometimes around 20 seconds per page.

Much easier to just self-host a wiki.

It looks like the end of Miraheze: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Board/Po ... -Statement
The Directors have met to consider where the future of Miraheze as a project lies - taking into account recent events, long term sustainability problems, financial situation and doing the right thing by the communities we serve. Having consulted remaining technical volunteers, the Board has decided that is it not in the project's best interests to continue operating long term.

Probably for the best, but I’ll really miss the Middle English Wikipedia.

Several volunteers left Miraheze and started another wikifarm, Wikitide. The Wikitide Foundation is a nonprofit incorporated in Idaho and the registered agent is Tavon Hansen, who was a director of Miraheze. Just appointed to their board of directors is Harej (T-C-L), who was previously on the boards of directors of Wikimedia DC (2011-2018) and Wiki Project Med Foundation (2017).
