Regarding ELNO
[edit]This revision specifically, and the reason for it being ELNO... Anyway, the only reason in the ELNO link that I thought was applicable was #12. One reason we even have fan specific wikis is to keep Wikipedia free of cluttered articles pertaining to every minor detail of a series. With few exceptions, Wikipedia is the first searched site for information on a game series. I was planning to add external links to more Kirby related game articles and the WiKirby site. The standards on the wiki's "substantial-ness" seem vague and open to interpretation. WiKirby isn't going to be obsolete any time in the near future. We're being built by members of long standing wikis such as Bulbapedia, MarioWiki.com, and Zelda Wiki.org. Judging from so many talk pages, it seems Wikipedia's interests would be to provide an outlet for fans of a specific series wanting to get more in-depth with the articles. There are several other game pages with external links to fandom wikis, and it wasn't used to source anything in the article. Do tell me if there are further details to measure an independent wiki's status on the "substantial" requirement. Axiomist (talk) 14:53, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
- I don't know either, but, honestly, 281 articles doesn't seem like a whole lot to me. Compare the Star Wars wikia Wookiepedia with 77,143 articles!. Anyway, the fact that you are an admin makes a big conflict of interest. --Soetermans | drop me a line | what I'd do now? 17:06, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
