Discussion

The administrator of WikiSimpsons have asked whether we should participate in an alliance of wikis regarding Animated Sitcoms. I personally have not yet have the time to consider this, so I am opening this for discussion. --Sviptalk 05:41, 23 May 2011 (CEST)

Hi all, it's Solar Dragon from Wikisimpsons. I have had this idea for a while now, I wanted to set up something like NIWA but for Animated Sitcoms. There are a lot we need to work out though.

  • Will it only be for independent wikis?
  • What will be the requirements for joining?
  • We also need a hub website. Will anyone be able to host this?

A similar discussion will be opened up on Wikisimpsons once we move to our new host. Until then, I will be happy to answer any questions here. 92.7.205.39 09:40, 23 May 2011 (CEST)

Speaking in the position as a user, not an administrator: As I understand the offer, nothing will change except that we will officially be a part of a larger group, and be linked to from this Animated Sitcoms website, but The Infosphere in itself will not have to change style, commercial attitude or anything like that?
I can say right now that I will not be able to take great part in this overall project, nor will I be able to start contributing to some other wiki (I focus on Wikipedia and the Infosphere atm), but if I understand the project properly, I don't mind it. Aki 12:51, 23 May 2011 (CEST)
Sounds to me as if no harm will come from this, unless the alliance goes rogue or something. I barely wiki things these days, so I'm unlikely to venture into the other wikis in the group. But so long as none of them are Futurama centric, I can see this being beneficial. - Quolnok 13:39, 23 May 2011 (CEST)
While I don't think it would harm us, it may draw in new users. I'm undecided until we learn more about this alliance. Other than more exposure, what are the benefits? Teyrn of Highever 13:47, 23 May 2011 (CEST)
