Qualitipedia and the Original Reception Wikis (2019-present)

NOTE: Do not rename Qualitipedia (2019-present) to Qualitipedia (2019-2022), as some people are still attempting to revive Qualitipedia.

Qualitipedia (commonly known as the Miraheze Reception Wikis) was a network of eight reception wikis that criticized or praised various forms of media. Despite the common name, they were actually created on FANDOM back in 2013, with the first wiki being Crappy Games Wiki, created by Grust (formerly known as DisneyVillain). Afterward, other wikis were created, such as Awesome Games Wiki, Terrible TV Shows Wiki, Greatest Movies Wiki, and Awful Movies Wiki, before being forced to move to Miraheze in September 2018 because of a user named PKMNLivesNew. Qualitipedia was shut down on September 26, 2022, following a successful RfC. However, a long time reader named Fred decided to revive them independently, making him the new owner of Qualitipedia. The wikis were on hold for a while as he tried to fix a CentralAuth issue before going down entirely. In the meantime, a revival of Qualitipedia was created on an obscure wiki hosting service named Telepedia.

Overall

 * 1) Ever since PKMNLivesNew caused the shut down of the wikis and caused them to move on Miraheze, the network suffered from multiple controversies that permanently damaged their reputation until its closure.
 * 2) Although some pages are well-written (mostly the featured articles but there are some well-written pages without the featured template), most of the pages are extremely poorly-written, especially on Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki, as the pointers are overall short and vague.
 * 3) Even if they're well-written, some of the pages are hilariously bad, especially the ones made during The Outcast Network era.
 * 4) The network's (along with other reception wikis') community is very immature and toxic:
 * 5) *FatBurn0000 (now known as Money12123), who developed a reputation as one of the most hated users in Qualitipedia, especially back when he only worked on the websites wikis and other wikis that are not officially part of QP. He's notorious for spamming the unsourced template in several pages and while he did have a point on the unsourced pages, he would often put the template in a page just because a few pointers are unsourced in said pages. Not to mention, he often blatantly ignores the criticism of his flaw and often does pretty stupid ideas such as requesting for deletion a well-written page because he was reworking the page on his sandbox, even though the sandbox was dead.
 * 6) *ThisWas, who although was decent in 2021, started to become controversial in May 2022, when he decided to remove political stuff from Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki, and while can be justified since QP was going to depoliticize itself, he took this to the extreme, as he decided to remove political stuff in some pages when they're actually the main factors for why something is bad (i.e. the Funimation page on Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki).
 * 7) *Blubabluba9990 is known for being a toxic and immature user who never learns from his mistakes and also notorious for being unfairly unbanned every time DuchessTheSponge and MarioMario456 ban him for good reasons thanks to the help of the Stewards.
 * 8) *PKMNLivesNew also can be considered a bad user, because even if his main role was played on FANDOM, he also wanted to kill those wikis on Miraheze, and he also caused edit wars all over the place.
 * 9) *EijiZeBoi is widely regarded as one of Qualitipedia's most dangerous users, as the user has a long history of harassment and is literally racist, and unlike Moisty, has never apologized for it. Also like Se, he bullied Zenko by posting her on Unfavorable Wikis and Users Wiki.
 * 10) *Inkster was known to cause a lot of drama, especially their aggression was seen on the Crappy Games Wiki where they caused drama quite often associated with the pages Pokémon Sword and Shield. More information can be found on this page.
 * 11) *Mar9122 (now known as Mar8122 and KillerPyro on Discord), a former member of The Outcast Network, who's widely considered to be one of the most dangerous users in Qualitipedia, as he's known for causing drama on several wikis, especially in the reception wikis, which caused him to get banned. He also created an alternative account on Miraheze but he was globally banned again. More info can be found in this document.
 * 12) *MarioBobFan, a user who is notorious for multiple reasons; He's a toxic fanboy of The Loud House to the point that he even shoves stuff related to The Loud House in pages that have nothing to do with it, and he's also well-known for having a large history of disruptive edits, most notably how he kept inserting pointers of a piece of media being "so bad it's good" in the redeeming qualities section, and adding superflous pointers in general. Worst of all, after he was given a second chance, he never improved and continued to be a nuisance. As a result of that, he ultimately got banned from Qualitipedia due to the success of an RfC. Following his block, he fortunately improved himself and became a much better user.
 * 13) *SonicFTW, also called by someone as the "King of Nitpicks", because he's often overly critical of very minor stuff, such as how Sonic has blue arms in the live-action Sonic movies even though they aren't that big of a deal, even making an entire blog criticizing Sonic's blue arms (which was deleted because it was a giant nitpick). He also made the notorious BBC (2006-present) page on TS&EW, where he criticizes the BBC logo change, saying that it was massive downgrade from the original logo despite the new logo having that much of change from the old logo. He was also somewhat toxic about his opinions as well, because he would spam random discussions in talk pages whining about people not liking movies that he personally liked,  and much like MarioBobFan, he had the tendency of adding extremely superfluous pointers to pages on media that he liked or hated, which is notable in his edit history on The Smurfs page where kept adding in pointless additions that came across as rather bias and non-sensical, which were all reverted by JigglypuffGuy04.   He was later banned for resorting to sockpuppetry.
 * 14) *Larryding was a troll who sent messages to everyone and annoyed them as much as he could. Although s/he was banned, s/he started making sockpuppets with which he could continue harassing anyone he could.
 * 15) *RickERB23 was infamous on the show and character wikis for being overly aggressive and thick-headed towards other users for no good reason, often acting like everything he says is a true fact by reverting people's edits (sometimes for no reason) and just being an egotistical jerk.   He even insulted other users over what he thought was "objectively good" and "objectively bad",  even comparing Marxo to China for removing political pointers from pages and sending death threats to the admins.  He was ultimately banned from Qualitipedia for that and had his account globally blocked by Miraheze for abusing multiple accounts, which he continued to do until Qualitipedia eventually closed down.
 * 16) * Besides MarioBobFan there were also some other toxic fanboys here who were prone to cause edit wars as well as drama over petty or obscure things like Dexter's Mom, Leerdoman74 or UglyDollsFan2002.
 * 17) *-abigblueworld- was probably the worst Qualitipedia user of all time, as they created an account only for vandalism on every wiki, and when they were rightfully banned by DarkMatterMan4500, they started making sockpuppets and continued to vandalize sites and, like the aforementioned Larryding, they harassed everyone, including the aforementioned DarkMatterMan4500.
 * 18) *Quarrow was the second most recognizable after abigblueworld and one of the largest vandals in the history of Qualitipedia, which initially attacked only the Rotten Websites Wiki, but then began to attack other wikis as well, which consequently led to the fact that it was globally blocked.
 * 19) *Moisty has made a whole bunch of comments or messages that were nothing but harassing other users. One of them literally had a racist word in it.
 * 20) ** Fortunately, he improved a lot and started to be a decent user.
 * 21) *Se was known to often harass other users and he was mainly responsible for harassing Zenko, which made her withdraw from Miraheze for 2 years.
 * 22) *Shish kabab enjoyed the murder of his 17-year-old daughter by her father and vandalized various wikis.
 * 23) *WG8686 (now known as Nidoking) has sought to destroy these wikis and he has harassed anyone he can, and he has also caused a whole lot of drama for very petty reasons.
 * 24) **Fortunately, he has improved significantly though even when it was unlocked it caused edit wars.
 * 25) * While Bluba himself was a terrible user, that doesn't mean GyrineZ was an angel. His behavior was inappropriate at best and worthy of an indefinite total ban at worst, as he has insulted anti-RfC users only because they opposed RfC and still cared about the site, even going as far as making death threats to the user who created the RfC on making wikis independent.
 * 26) * SporeShroom2007 was known to cause an incredible amount of drama on wikis belonging to this network, and this user was largely responsible for Grust's permanent departure from Qualitipedia by falsely accusing him of pedophilia, which the Duchess later wrongly banned him for. Fortunately, Grust was unbanned, and SporeShroom itself was permanently banned from these wikis in his place.
 * 27) *There were also users like Harry2003 who literally sent death threats to others.
 * 28) *Some of Qualitipedia's staff is corrupt as well.
 * 29) **FreezingTNT complained on how the Lion King sequels are on the Awful Movies Wiki in which he got demoted. He also threatened to add Cuties to the Greatest Movies Wiki to poke fun at the "badly-received movies only" and "well-received movies only" rules on the Awful Movies Wiki and Greatest Movies Wiki respectively. He later apologized, however.
 * 30) **Allistayrian caused a major purge of removing pages simply because they had poor pointers, and imposed incredibly high demands on users regardless of how experienced they were, and even went so far as to block users very often, sometimes even falsely. Please see the Allistayrian era (2021-2022) section for more information.
 * 31) **And then there's DuchessTheSponge. While he has been a fine admin during the Outcast Network era and he was (and he's still) mostly a decent user, he stirred up multiple controversies during his months as the new owner of Qualitipedia. More info can be found in the subheading "DuchessTheSponge era (2021)".
 * 32) One of the main reasons why the network went downhill is because since Grust was an anti-SJW and right-wing, the entire network was anti-SJW who treated SJWs as outright criminals. They also criminalized anti-GamerGate supporters. This was one of the main reasons why Rotten Websites Wiki was despised, because the wiki was nothing but a political mess, as it constantly bashes everything that's "SJW" or left-leaning.
 * 33) *Qualitipedia's pro-GamerGate attitude made the wikis look even more biased.
 * 34) *It should be also noted that it's not hard to get brainwashed from their Anti-SJW belief, as they can convince an average user to become an Anti-SJW or pro-Gamergate thanks to their pages.
 * 35) Speaking of bias, it's worth noting that the network itself was biased. Games, TV shows, and movies wikis have been infamous mainly because of bias, especially in the average media, where, for example, on the Crappy Games Wiki, 90% of pages in this category were literally biased to a greater or lesser degree.
 * 36) Overall, due to toxicity as well as a declining userbase, Qualitipedia shut down on a sour note 9 years after its first inception on FANDOM.

The Outcast Network era (2019-2020)

 * 1) When the wikis moved to Miraheze, The Outcast Network decided to take over them and are largely considered to be one of the worst groups in Qualitipedia's history, as they have a long history of causing drama (especially Mar9122, a former member of the Outcast Network), handling their wikis such as Atrocious YouTubers Wiki, Horrible Vyonders Wiki and so on, as well being responsible for the downfall of Qualitipedia.
 * 2) The group itself has proven to be an irresponsible one, as when they handled the wikis, one of the worst cases of doxxing happened. On March 2019, an used named Zenko (now called Vos) joined in the wikis and wanted to contribute peacefully without causing drama. However, she was falsely accused of being depraved, which is a lie, and the drama she went into was the fault of an user named Se, who wouldn't stop annoying her. And then, one of the users made a page of Zenko in Fun Shitposting Wiki, a satirical page mocking her, in the same vein of Encyclopedia Dramatica. However, Zenko vandalized it because it contained her personal info. In other words, they doxxed her just for the sake of satirical stuff. Despite being in the right doing that, Zenko was later unfairly hated and not only The Outcast Network refused to support her, but one of the members, EijiZeBoi, hated her and was added on the dreaded Unfavourable Wikis and Users Wiki. In 2022, SuperStreetKombat told that there are rumors that Zenko committed suicide but thankfully it was debunked to be untrue.
 * 3) They once featured a small YouTuber on Atrocious YouTubers Wiki just because they made a poorly-written page of another bad small YouTuber on Amazing YouTubers Wiki. Thankfully, it was later replaced by other bad YouTubers that were more popular.
 * 4) Some pages, although are well-written, are downright awful or just mediocre, not only because they lack sources, but the claims are also unsubstantiated. Some of the claims in said pages are even false. Examples include:
 * 5) *Atrocious YouTubers Wiki:
 * 6) **MrBeast (2012-2016)
 * 7) **ElectricDragon505 (AniMat) (2016-Present) (imported on Rotten Websites Wiki titled Mat Brunet (2016-present) )
 * 8) **Vailskibum94 (2016-2019) (imported on Terrible TV Shows Wiki)
 * 9) **IULITMx (imported on Crappy Games Wiki)
 * 10) *Toxic Fandoms & Hatedoms Wiki:
 * 11) **Animal Crossing Fandom
 * 12) **Sonic.EXE Fandom
 * 13) **Luigi's Mansion Fandom
 * 14) They even had the courage of featuring a page criticizing MrBeast during his first years on Atrocious YouTubers Wiki despite being one of the most popular and greatest YouTubers of all time. The page itself is also biased and poorly-written, so much that it makes you wonder why it got featured in the first place.

Post-Outcast Network era (2020-2021)

 * 1) Despite the closure of The Outcast Network's wikis and their ban, most of the users still imported the pages in other wikis. This was more evident in Rotten Websites Wiki, as a lot of pages from wikis like Atrocious YouTubers were imported, with very little changes.
 * 2) The infamous Celebtards and Celebsmarts pages. No words can describe how awful these pages are.
 * 3) During this era, the wikis have been rebranded into one network called Qualitipedia, and revealed that it would be more serious than something for fun. This alone caused many people like Portrock1566 to leave the network for good, as they felt that it lost the charm.
 * 4) Speaking of the rebrand, to officially form this, Allistayrian, a former admin of the network, decided to do what was called the Great Purge, which was essentially when all pages were purged. This received universal backlash and many people retired.

DuchessTheSponge era (2021)

 * 1) Ever since DuchessTheSponge became the new owner of Qualitipedia, he attempted many ways to improve the network, but those ways failed miserably due to numerous reasons
 * 2) He caused some infamous opinion wars, a good example being the Spongebob page on TTS&EW.
 * 3) And finally, the most infamous case was the unexpected shut down of the Websites Wiki in June 2021. After users asked what happened to those wikis, it was discovered that DuchessTheSponge shut them down, and as a result, he got demoted.
 * 4) These ways also became pointless once TigerBlazer and Raidarr arrived, as they gave better ways to improve Qualitipedia, despite still failing.
 * 5) During this era on Qualitipedia, he made a few false accusations of some users such as Grust of being a pedophile after creating an NSFW blog about hentai, which resulted in Grust's retirement, and he also banned SuperStreetKombat from SephSpace for supposedly "defending the no custom heading rule", restoring the YouTube page on Rotten Websites, and removing Nintendo from Crappy Games Wiki's forbidden list, which also resulted in SSK leaving Miraheze for a while until he came back two weeks later.
 * 6) He was one of the biggest responsible for shutting down Qualitipedia due to his disastrous administration, actually for this reason after he wrongly accused Grust of pedophilia no one even wanted him to be part of the staff anymore.

Allistayrian era (2020-2022)

 * 1) Allistayrian was an overall weird and strict admin, who would delete every page he would consider poorly-written, even if said pages are actually decent.
 * 2) He has also made a whole bunch of unfair or exaggerated blockages, such as blocking Szczypak2005 just because he split one page into two.
 * 3) Because of his big purge, users like Portrock1566 left Qualitipedia and hated it afterwards, which basically led to Qualitipedia having even more opponents.
 * 4) He also blatantly ignored the criticism of others, which is clearly demonstrated by the blog that purports to justify his activities on the grounds that he is having a bad day.

The Final Months (2022)

 * 1) Ever since Allistayrian retired, lot of drama happened, that severely killed Qualitipedia.
 * 2) Certain admins had been secretly attempted to kill Qualitipedia, with no new idea of improvement and barely any support.
 * 3) On August 2022, in the Qualitipedia Discord server, a massive bombshell arrived; there was an obnoxious chat that was caused by a bot created by Bukkit, a former admin of the network, where everybody lost control of themselves and ended up nonsensically spamming in the chat after the bot ghostpinged everyone. As a result, TigerBlazer, a former admin of the network, snapped out from the Discord server and announced that she would be retiring for good, even though she already retired in April (before making a full retirement blog when the RfC to close Qualitipedia was open). After that happened, many people like Raidarr, Mr. Dready and Stephenfisher2001 retired, which not only saddened many people but it also led to damage control without the help of many useful admins.
 * 4) It was pretty clear that the network was getting desperate to stay alive, as they promoted a bunch of moderators after a lot of admins retired, which failed miserably.
 * 5) In October 2022, Nidoking created an RfC after Stewards rejected the creations of newer reception wikis, in which he asks to ban Reception Wikis with 3 proposals. The first asks to close all the reception wikis, the second asked to keep the reception wikis while forbidding others from being created indefinitely, the last is the same as the second but instead of indefinitely, it's 6 months. The first proposal failed, while the second was succesful, so while the open reception wikis still remain open, other reception wikis can't be created, so this prevents from creating a reboot on Miraheze, and also sealing Qualitipedia's fate as dead.
 * 6) They unjustly revoked SuperStreetKombat's admin status after promoting a few users to mods with "no consensus", even though there actually was one, and this agreement to demote him took place in a Discord without Street's knowledge about, which was deragetory considering that he still has yet to have an account there, and they could have just warned him to stop rather than privately discuss demoting him without warning.

FatBurn's The New Reception Wiki (2022)

 * 1) The fact that this was handled by FatBurn0000 was a massive red flag, considering his reputation.
 * 2) FatBurn himself has proved to not handle criticism when it comes to Qualitipedia, as he made a page criticizing a rant against Qualitipedia by DuchessTheSponge, which of course received a polarizing reception.
 * 3) Some of the rules are very questionable. The forbidden pages heading says that the pages from Qualitipedia shouldn't be copypasted, but rather, imported with all revisions, which doesn't make sense because people barely use revisions, and Wayback Machine also exists, which makes them even more pointless.
 * 4) *On top of importing pages, it would essentially qualify as content fork, which is against Miraheze's Content Policy.
 * 5) *Hypocrisy: FatBurn was concerned that copying pages from these wikis would result in a loss of history, despite the fact that he himself has added a delete template to pages on a number of occasions because he wants to redo the pages, and simply deleting a page will obviously lose the history.
 * 6) Szczypak2005, while not a bad user, has shown to be an incompetent admin, as he literally banned TigerBlazer just because she hates Qualitipedia after she retired. Thankfully, he later unbanned her.
 * 7) The wiki was laughably closed a few days after it was announced that it would have been a successor to Qualitipedia, which makes sense, since the wiki violated the Content Policy in the first day.
 * 8) *The most laughable yet insulting thing at the same time, FatBurn0000 said that because forks are not allowed, he asked regular users to delete the pages, which not only doesn't make sense, since regular users don't have the ability to do that, as well announcing this when the wiki was closed, but it also shows that he refuses to take any responsibility for that.

Fred's Qualitipedia (2022)

 * 1) Because the wikis lacked CentralAuth, some users had trouble signing to their accounts.
 * 2) The servers are horrible, as they can get easily disconnected out of nowhere.
 * 3) The wikis were closed out of nowhere, they show nothing but a Cloudflare issue.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) It used to be good back when it was on FANDOM and during its first months on Miraheze in 2018.
 * 2) There are still plenty pages on the network's wikis that were well-written or a lot of people can agree on them (despite some of them being deleted), such as:
 * 3) *Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki:
 * 4) **The Loud House (season 4-present)
 * 5) **Family Guy (season 8-present)
 * 6) **13 Reasons Why
 * 7) **Ren and Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon"
 * 8) **Tomorrow's Pioneers (despite being a bit right-wing)
 * 9) *Crappy Games Wiki
 * 10) **Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition
 * 11) **Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)
 * 12) *Awesome Games Wiki
 * 13) **Mario Forever
 * 14) **Super Mario Bros.
 * 15) **Fallout: New Vegas
 * 16) *Awful Movies Wiki:
 * 17) **The Smurfs
 * 18) **Leaving Neverland
 * 19) *Greatest Movies Wiki:
 * 20) **2001: A Space Odyssey
 * 21) *Rotten Websites Wiki
 * 22) **Twitter
 * 23) **Common Sense Media
 * 24) *In fact, even some of the pages during The Outcast Network era are great as well!
 * 25) **Atrocious YouTubers Wiki
 * 26) ***Strawberry Milk (which essentially is also a warning to people that there's a degenerate user around the internet)
 * 27) ***ImJayStation
 * 28) ***Peluchin Entertainment
 * 29) ***Cosmodore
 * 30) **Toxic Fandoms and Hatedoms Wiki
 * 31) ***Weeaboos and Koreaboos
 * 32) ***K-Pop Fandom and Hatedom
 * 33) ***Kink Shaming
 * 34) ***LGBT Hatedom (Homophobia) and Heterosexuality Hatedom (Heterophobia)
 * 35) ***Stereotyping
 * 36) The network's wikis which were about praising or criticizing pieces of media and why they got praised/criticized definitely sounds like a good idea on paper, though was unfortunately poorly executed and plagued with a toxic community.
 * 37) While the community is incredibly toxic as mentioned in WISN#4, there are also a lot of good users here, even if they did make some controversial decisions, although most of them either retired or became inactive or were about to leave the site ([*] - the user that has left the network). Here are some examples:

 * 96) They created a system called the Source Reliability-O-Meter, which consists of which source is much more reliable to use when creating a page, which is pretty neat, considering gaming journalism has become pretty corrupt and some internet reviewers are extremely unreliable.
 * 97) They're against the dreaded NFTs, which are very harmful to the environment.
