Wikia / FANDOM - The ugly result of giving aspies control of their own wiki websites

Wookieepedia outlaws deadnaming creators, or they were in the process of doing so before Wikia Staff came around and enforced the policy with an ToU clause.
The two oldest jannies who contributed most to Wookieepedo have been banned for the deadnaming drama:

Some wookieefags have gone off to start their own wikis either because FANDOM is too strict or because its not progressive enough. Its all a mess.

Well, we might as well keep our peeled for an announcement from Fandom Staff; because the guy who overridden the discussion is supposedly the head of their community safety team.

I think we should keep a close eye on Wookieepedia too and see what drama unfolds. I heard their discord is particularly hectic but you need to make edits in order to join.

Edit:
An official statement's been made:
Hello,

A few minutes ago, Fandom demoted from Wookieepedia adminship—and then globally banned—two users: Darth Culator & Toprawa and Ralltiir.

While Fandom does not typically talk about blocks with third parties, we feel it is important to explain this decision to the Wookieepedia community due to how this decision came about and the impact it will have on Wookieepedia moving forward.

Over the last week, Wookieepedia has been part of a larger social media conversation that has resurfaced a number of concerns regarding how the community was being managed. A wide range of individuals—wiki editors and former wiki editors included—informed us that both users have been contributing to a long-simmering culture of bullying and intimidation on our platform. Multiple examples of those users acting in a counterproductive and offensive way were reported to us. After reviewing these conversations, we decided to take necessary action.

Among the individuals who spoke out were well-respected administrators of Wookieepedia. To respect their privacy, we will not be identifying them; however we can confirm that a majority of remaining administrators are in support of this action, and specifically asked us to get involved. They have also asked that we protect this post from further replies, but I am certain the admins will be addressing the community further soon.

Fandom upholds three key values: We Serve a Global Community, We Build Experiences, and We Bring Joy. We are committed to working with the Wookieepedia admins and the community at large to ensure these values are upheld.

I do want to encourage you, as a community, that Star Wars belongs to you as much as it does to any admin or any staff member. You are empowered to be a voice of positive change as much as any other editor reading this. Participate in civil but honest discussions about other changes you want to see on Wookieepedia to build a positive culture.

It seems a bunch of users "informed" the Staff that these two were supposedly bullies. Culator afaik mostly got a bad reputation for making a joke article on breasts which pissed off a shit ton of people on Wookieepedia and on nerd sites for being "sexist".

Looks like Potsk gave up rather quickly... Regardless it looks like there's already an exodus of sorts going on. Some Wookieepedos are looking to start their own wikis, with one group wanting to make one because Wookieepedia still has too many transphobes in their eyes (apparently this one is called Wicketpedia) while the other wants to start a wiki to stick it to Fandom (no idea what they're gonna call themselves).

Did they post an evidence of the transphobes? Because I think these guys have a Discord server or two, which might be the source of the drama.

Tangentially related, @GethN7 is also forced to bend the knee.

Also suprised you didnt mention how ban happy, cliquish, and censorious these faggots are as well.

Documenting legitimate cut content for a video game or an obscure easter egg that no one else documented just gets my post removed on most fandom sites and account banned for "trolling" when theres a literal wing ding easter egg in a older star wars game if you look to the left in the armory.

Yet another reason not to set up a wiki there, on top of the absolutely lunatic level of adshit that is always fucked around with to break adblocking, is that they'll keep your shit forever because of their license, so if you go off and set up a wiki elsewhere, your SEO will suck because just being on Fandom nearly guarantees a top hit on Google, even if it's a completely abandoned, broken piece of shit nobody maintains any more.

Troons yet again destroy everything they touch. Must be a day ending in "y."
