The New Reception Wiki
Hi, I know this was a long time ago, but you said a while ago that there were dump files for the old and new versions of this wiki, though you seemed to have said they're gone now. Is there anything I can do to get them back? Money12123 (contribs | CentralAuth) 23:22, 11 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I never said that they were gone. They're still available on archive.org until if and when it's struck down by the lawsuit it's fighting. Tali64³ (talk) 23:29, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

My requested wiki
Hi, I requested a wiki that you marked "onhold" one or two days ago. I don't know if that's causing a delay in creation of the wiki, could you please take a look at that for me? Thank you. Cmnpt (talk) 23:50, 14 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I put that request on hold pending review from another wiki creator to make sure there wouldn't be any violations of the Content Policy, specifically regarding duplicate/similar wikis. Your wiki's topic (lesser-known subjects) is a subtopic of Allpedia's (literally everything). It still hasn't been reviewed, but I've brought it up again with the other wiki creators.

 * Is there a problem with my wiki request? I feel like it's taking a while to review, I can go ahead and change it if that's the problem. Cmnpt (talk) 21:13, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Your wiki seems like it's a subpart of a "general encyclopedia", exclusively focusing on less well-known subjects instead of anything. That also seems like it could include information about literally anybody that's not famous, which could lead to rumors being posted, which also violates our Content Policy, in addition to other problems. You can always submit another request with a different topic and scope if you feel you can't properly fix the issues outlined above. Tali64³ (talk) 21:19, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for approving my second wiki request! Just letting you know, you can mark Special:RequestWikiQueue/31400 as declined as I don't need that one anymore :) Cmnpt (talk) 19:12, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Where could I post my wiki to encourage people to edit it? Cmnpt (talk) 04:01, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
 * The rule of thumb is to (tactfully) pitch it to the communities it is intended for. You could advertise it on meta by sprucing up its description in ManageWiki or posting it here, but the traffic/interest from these meta-based venues is typically minimal. In your case... well, there have been a few people around here interested in buses that I know of, otherwise your best bet would be finding 'transportation communities' and see if they're interested in wikis. Finally, making good content yourself and boosting the wiki's searchability could get you traffic from the wider internet who see something good to chip into. No option is particularly easy or instant, alas. --Raidarr (talk) 08:38, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
