Fandom Wikis

[hope]

So, I was thinking about all this wikis-for-fandoms (and texts/shows) stuff.

And you know what? I own www.fandomwiki.com, which will in time house a kind of aca-fen fandom-pedia (hopefully).

I was thinking I could offer subdomains there for other fandoms that want to create wikis for their shows (and/or fandoms).

So for example,
http://supernatural.fandomwiki.com
http://dexter.fandomwiki.com
http://smallville.fandomwiki.com

etc.

I know that there are already fandom wikis out there (for eg. http://heroeswiki.com), but yaknow, surely not all of fandoms are accounted for, and surely there are folks around interested in managing/administrating such a thing, if they had the space and configuration/installation taken care of for them.

So, questions:

- would people be interested?

- if so, how to 'advertise' this availability? I'm not the best at disseminating information to such a wide 'audience'.

Ahahaha.

I've been looking through the Heroes wiki, and hey! How about we just steal this page:
http://heroeswiki.com/Themes

...

After the gender discussion on Mary's journal though, it's also interesting to see where characters are categorised under the Characters (http://heroeswiki.com/Characters) and Cast (http://heroeswiki.com/Portal:Cast) pages.
:P

The proportions for the Main Characters (http://heroeswiki.com/Portal:Main_Characters) are a little depressing, even with listing Simone (http://heroeswiki.com/Simone_Deveaux) there, but not Ando (http://heroeswiki.com/Ando_Masahashi).

*shrugs*

Meh.

"Main Character" status is determined by the people in charge of the show. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with how much screentime they get. I, too, would consider Ando to be more of a main character than Simone is, that's for certain. But until the people in charge of the show change their mind this is just how it is. The wiki is just being accurate. :)

Judging from the discussion in monkeycrackmary's journal that she was referring to, I think cocombat probably *was* talking about just that - the character status as determined by those who create the show. As opposed to a slight to the wiki! I'm all for accuracy in recording these kinds of things :D

did you come over from referrals?

What Hope said.

The wiki is pretty cool.
