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

I immediately knew the Villains Wiki was teaming with autism when I stumbled upon a page dedicated to the butterfly from Don't Hug Me I'm Scared.
Villains Wiki is adminned by tropers, so that's why it's been infested by TV Tropes bullshit.

A Wiki with two articles (including the main page) about a relatively obscure band who released one album a decade ago and doesn't seem to have done much since.

The one article looks to have been written by someone associated with them, or possibly pulled from a website that long since ceased to exist.

Anyone have an opinion on Wikipedia vs Wikia 'autism levels'?

All I can say is that the Wikia editors I've met generally seem friendlier and more conversational than the WP ones.
Wikia folks just want to sperg about cartoons, but Wikipedia admins want to pretend they have some sort of real power.

I can corroborate this. I've had experiences with staff of both sites. Wikipedia admins generally seem as though they use the perceived power on that site to be bullies as compensation for real-life inadequacies.
 
I said before about the Anime Bath Wiki but the autism on display there not being documented is a grave injustice. Here's some of their categories.
Kagome from Inyuyasha:

Lum Invader from Urusei Yatsura:

That's a lot of categories, huh? Actually, no it isn't. Let's have a look at Bulma from Dragon Ball:

I'll post something more in-depth tomorrow, I'm sleepy right now. This should be more than enough autism to hold you guys over in the meantime though.

I can't wrap my head around how pointless and perverted this is. Just... why? I'm nauseated by how intricately organized this shit is. I can't think of a better example of people having too much free time & nothing better to do. It's like reading Vogon poetry.

some pervy sperg said:
Turanga Leela (born July 29, 2975) one of the main characters in Futurama. She is the tomboyishly beautiful and very sexy captain of the Planet Express ship. With a "no rain or sleet" attitude and a "kick-your-arse" grace, this delivery captain is a refreshing source of professionalism to counterpoint the rest of the crew.
I feel like wikia can be useful, but never when it's about female characters that are portrayed as moderately attractive
 
Wikia itself loves to treat its content creators like shit if they dare leave the Wikia platform. Check out the Anti-Wikia Alliance website for more info.

For example, I contribute to a Godzilla-related Wiki, but the head admin decided to fork the site to an independent host. Wikia immediately restored the old Wiki on their domain, meaning that now we're competing with ourselves. Wikia will also blacklist other wiki platforms from being mentioned on their service, and will ban users globally for 'advertising', even if all they've done is post a link to the new site on their user page.

Wikia has been really nice to me concerning that, since we have forks of All The Tropes on Wikia and Miraheze. Then again, I made it quite clear I had every intention of maintaining the Wikia fork and not leaving it to rot.

I think the thing is that Wikia won't let people who want to take everything off-site do so, probably because they want to suck out as much money as they can through adverts. Now that the site I contribute to has forked, the admins and I have got much better control over how we want the site to be designed and also much better control over where to put the adverts, rather than having them distract readers or cover content.
 
@testaclesemaximus told me about this during the outage:
Never been a big RedLetterMedia fan but this video made me laugh out loud. The content comes from the "Wookieepedia" entry on Vader's suit.

Also, here's another list of some of the more...exceptional categories at the Anime Bath Wiki. For the record, the "Females" category has EIGHTY-SEVEN subcategories! Here's some of the more ridiculous ones:
 
"Implied Bathers"
This wiki is a treasure.
There's nothing too "out there" besides categories. Most articles tend to consist of "so-and-so takes a bath in episode X and does such-and-such," followed by fapservice galleries. By the standards set by other "fetish" wikis, it's pretty tame.

Those categories, though...is that like porn for autistic people or something?
