User blog:Alex001/The New Wikis - Pros and Cons

The new wiki's up and running, and I like it. However, there are still some flaws that may affect the overall wiki performance.


 * The editing space has lowered by half, much less than Wikia. There's only a small box for me to edit the article. Is it just me or the wiki?


 * No images, like SN said. Still no images to date. A bot is broken, and when I try to import an image myself (I do have import powers), guess what? The image wikitext turns blue, I click on it and up goes the 'Upload Page' page.


 * Blog posts and forums are still underway.

With these two factors in hand, the new wiki may just be, well, poop. However, this wiki is even more poop. I may have to say this, but Wikia is still home to the CPFW.

Of course, the new wiki has pros too.


 * More reading space and more bolded text on headings.
 * Free from Wikia

Now, I've checked up on this and even the new CPFW could not get away with COPPA. When I was on the IRC, I spotted a line describing 'thirteen-year-olds'. Checking on it, it seems the IRC also follows COPPA. If I'm not wrong, websites that don't follow COPPA would be shut down. Some users may be in trouble if they had revealed their identity.

I made this blog post specifically to conclude that...


 * We have moved, in case you are STILL not aware of, and your edits on this site would no longer be acknowledged.


 * Project Tern is STILL not the best idea yet - keeping DreamHost's limitations and other factors in mind.


 * We appreciate the money spent on the new site, but don't force it on us.
