:No. We strive to be the biggest and best Futurama Wiki out there, and you won't be helping us or yourself by creating another wiki and spreading the fans even thinner. Then, instead of helping to make one good wiki, you'll be helping to create several low-quality (i.e., crappy) wikis.

What is a wiki?
A wiki is a completely open website, generally used to compile information, that anyone interested in the topic can edit. Thus a wiki can serve as a resource for casual fans of a topic, and a community for more hardcore fans. A more concise definition can be found here.
Can I use text or images from the Infosphere on other Futurama wikis?
No. Text and original images are copyrighted. Screenshots of the show are owned only by Fox/Curiosity Company/Rough Draft/Matt Groening, so take them at your own risk.
Can I be a member here while running another Futurama wiki?
No. We strive to be the biggest and best Futurama Wiki out there, and you won't be helping us or yourself by creating another wiki and spreading the fans even thinner. Then, instead of helping to make one good wiki, you'll be helping to create several low-quality (i.e., crappy) wikis.
