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 Miraheze Reception Wikis) was a network of 8 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). Ever since that wiki was created, other wikis have been created, such as Awesome Games, Terrible TV Shows, Greatest Movies, Awful Movies and so on, before closing altogether in 2018 because of PKMNLivesNew. Ever since then, the wikis were forced to move to Miraheze on September 2018. The wikis have been shut down following an RfC to close Qualitipedia, ending the network for good. However, a long time reader named Fred decided to revive them independently, making him the new owner of Qualitipedia. However, the wikis are currently on hold, as he's trying to fix the CentralAuth issue.

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 community (along with other reception wikis) is very 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). June 2022 was his final straw, as he believed that Teen Titans Go! was average and decided to change the page on TS&EW to average because he exclusively relies on websites like IMDb, completely ignoring that the show was panned by not only fans of the original Teen Titans, but also from internet reviewers (such as YouTubers). Thankfully, this was later changed and ThisWas was temporarily banned.
 * 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. He was at its worst when the RfC to close Qualitipedia was open, as he exposed himself as an user who's obsessed to Qualitipedia and acted very childlish, labeled whoever supporter the RfC "Anti-Quals" and "Evil people" and considered whoever opposed to the RfC "heroes" and even attempted to vote brigade by encouraging people to oppose to the RfC, which led to him getting banned.
 * 8) *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 being a pedophile who would get horny on lolis and often causes drama on several wikis, epsecially 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.
 * 9) *MarioBobFan, an user who is notorious for being a fanboy of The Loud House and like DuchessTheSponge with SpongeBob SquarePants, he refuses to believe that The Loud House suffered from a massive downfall. He also shoves stuff related to The Loud House in pages that have nothing to do with it. As a result of that, he ultimately got banned from Qualitipedia.
 * 10) *SonicFTW, also called by someone as the "King of Nitpicks", because he often criticizes very minor stuff such as his infamous blog criticizing Sonic's blue arms (which was deleted because it was a giant nitpick and also restored for sockpuppetry). 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 has barely changed from the old logo.
 * 11) *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.
 * 12) *-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.
 * 13) *Kiki2002 is known for adding a whole lot of custom headers non-stop, which were usually so stupid that they were removed, and creating weird categories, usually without the permission of the admins.
 * 14) *Lukaaa640:
 * 15) **Is known for believing that only his opinions mattered, which caused him to cause a whole bunch of edit wars regardless of who the user he was fighting with.
 * 16) **Many opinions were completely different from what many believed, and for this reason it added to the bias of these wikis.
 * 17) **At the end of his career, he created a blog that insulted absolutely everyone.
 * 18) ***Hypocrisy: In the blog, he complains about the fact that the wiki is biased, even though he added things that could confuse many people.
 * 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) *There were also many users who had biased views such as:
 * 21) **Dexter's Mom
 * 22) **Leerdoman74
 * 23) *RetroJohn although initially a decent user, on June 7, 2022, he stirred up controversy over the shit scale of AVGN, causing edit wars and trying to keep his point. Users like Katsumi, Szczypak2005, and Zangler have been reverting dubious edits of his, but he's been reverting them back, and he's been banned for one week by Katsumi.
 * 24) *Quarrow was a vandal like -abigblueworld- who attacked the Rotten Websites Wiki.
 * 25) *Shish kabab enjoyed the murder of his 17-year-old daughter by her father and vandalized various wikis.
 * 26) *Gamingiq7890 is known for his very poor grammar on pages and the use of non-encyclopedic tone in the reception section. Also used rant on admins.
 * 27) *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.
 * 28) **Fortunately, he has improved significantly though even when it was unlocked it caused edit wars.
 * 29) * 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.
 * 30) *There were also users like Harry2003 who literally sent death threats to others.
 * 31) *Some of Qualitipedia's staff is corrupt as well.
 * 32) **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 pages like Pokemon Sworld and Shield. More information can be found on this page.
 * 33) **DuchessTheSponge has been a fine admin during the Outcast Network era and is 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)".
 * 34) **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 a rule on the movie wikis.
 * 35) The headers "Why It Sucks/Rocks" and the "Good Qualities/Bad Qualities/Redeeming Qualities" became very stale and repetitive, as they were overused to the point of becoming boring. The worst part is that while custom headers for "Why It Sucks/Why It Rocks" were allowed, it wasn't allowed for average stuff and "Redeeming Qualities". And the reasons are unknown.
 * 36) 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.
 * 37) * Qualitipedia's Pro-gamergate attitude made the wikis look even more biased.
 * 38) *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 thanks to their pages.
 * 39) 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.
 * 40) 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) *ElectricDragon505 (AniMat) (2016-Present) (imported on Rotten Websites Wiki titled Mat Brunet (2016-present) )
 * 6) *Vailskibum94 (2016-2019) (imported on Terrible TV Shows Wiki)
 * 7) *IULITMx (imported on Crappy Games Wiki)
 * 8) 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) As mentioned above, like MarioBobFan with The Loud House, DuchessTheSponge steadfastly refused to believe that SpongeBob SquarePants went downhill and he immediately deleted the SpongeBob SquarePants (Seasons 6-8) page on TS&EW, which received massive backlash.
 * 3) Because he's a hateboner of Johnny Test, he removed the Johnny Test (Seasons 1-3) page from BS&EW and renamed the Johnny Test (Seasons 4-6) page on TS&EW to just Johnny Test, claiming that it was never good to begin with, which also received massive backlash.
 * 4) 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.
 * 5) These ways also became pointless once TigerBlazer and Raidarr arrived, as they gave better ways to improve Qualitipedia, despite still failing.

Allistayrian era (2021-2022)

 * 1) Allistayrian was an overall weird and strict admin, who would delete every page he would consider opinion-based or poorly-written, even if said pages are actually decent and follow the reception.
 * 2) *One example is when he deleted the Super Meat Boy Forever page on Crappy Games Wiki. Even though the page was well-written and had valid points, he deleted it because it felt "too opinion-based" in his opinion and there "was nothing to prove that the reception was too poor", even though Super Meat Boy Forever had a 70 critic score and a staggeringly low 4.5 user score on Metacritic. It's pretty ironic when you discover that the page was made by Allistayrian himself. Thankfully he later restored it.

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, there was an obnoxious chat that was caused by a bot created by Bukkit, a former admin of the network, and as a result, TigerBlazer, a former admin of the network, retired from the Discord server. This alone saddened many people because she was essentially considered a savior of Qualitipedia, and even though it's exaggerated and she already retired in April (before making a full retirement blog when the RfC to close Qualitipedia was open), it's not hard to see why many people treat her like that.
 * 4) 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.
 * 5) 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.
 * 6) 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.

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) 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.
 * 6) 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.
 * 7) *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, 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) *In fact, even some of the pages during The Outcast Network era are great such as the Strawberry Milk page, ImJayStation page (despite lacking sources), the Peluchin Entertainment page and the Cosmodore page. Speaking of the Strawberry Milk page, it was essentially a warning to people that there's a degenerate user around the internet.
 * 9) Despite what WISN#5 said, some of the custom headers are pretty funny.
 * 10) There were some (partially) biased pages/pages that lacked many references on the network that were relatable and almost everyone can agree on them, like the deleted Twitter page on the Rotten Websites Wiki.
 * 11) While the community was incredibly toxic as mentioned in WISN#4, there were 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 these wikis). Here are some examples:
 * 12) *Zangler [*]
 * 13) *TigerBlazer [*]
 * 14) *Marxo Grouch [*]
 * 15) *DarkMatterMan4500
 * 16) *Bukkit
 * 17) *JigglypuffGuy04 [*]
 * 18) *CJWorldGame32125
 * 19) *ZeusDeeGoose (now called Blad) [*]
 * 20) *Dragonite [*]
 * 21) *Raidarr [*]
 * 22) *TouhouOtaku [*]
 * 23) *Katsumi
 * 24) *King Dice [*]
 * 25) *PlantyB0i [*]
 * 26) *SuperStreetKombat [*]
 * 27) *Kringe [*]
 * 28) *AlvaroNovaes-BR [*]
 * 29) *LuigiMan050-5 [*]
 * 30) *Mr. Dready [*]
 * 31) *Remely1000
 * 32) *ThePCGamer
 * 33) *IronclawFan [*]
 * 34) *HawkeyeSolo
 * 35) *PituckosTheCockatiel
 * 36) *CarlFilip19
 * 37) *Gilimaster69
 * 38) *Stephenfisher2001 [*]
 * 39) *The Dunkman
 * 40) *Trevor807 [*]
 * 41) *MindOfVictor
 * 42) *Obi-Wan Skywalker86
 * 43) *RaymesisEvil
 * 44) *JrStudios
 * 45) *HinD
 * 46) *Kpop And Earthbound Fanatic
 * 47) *Glitchedblood [*]
 * 48) *SpazJR61 [*]
 * 49) *Paprika [*]
 * 50) *Luigitehplumber
 * 51) *Masson Thief [*]
 * 52) *Unnamedgoon [*]
 * 53) *NeutralSplashyBoy
 * 54) *GreenGreen
 * 55) *Pierce Ng
 * 56) *Szczypak2005
 * 57) *Nonstopmaximum
 * 58) *KumihoWolffey [*]
 * 59) 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.
