Qualitipedia and the Original Reception Wikis (2019-present)

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. Afterward, a revival of Qualitipedia was created on an obscure wiki hosting service named Telepedia.

Overall
'WARNING: Do not remove Szczypak2005 from any of the pointers, because he had a way more impactful role on this network than you think. Any attempts to remove him will be reverted and the user will be warned.' 'SECOND WARNING: Also please don't mention retired users as they don't want to be remembered and would prefer to be forgotten, there are exceptions like SuperStreetKombat, DuchessTheSponge and Allistayrian. Anyone who adds at least one name of a retired user, his edit will be reverted.'
 * 1) One of the network's biggest problems is that they treat popular opinions as fact, which in itself can cause countless dramas and edit wars. For example, Szczypak2005 was trying to make the reception wikis more neutral to popular opinion, but many users reverted his edits because reception is "too negative" for example.
 * 2) Ever since PKMNLivesNew caused the shutdown of the wikis and caused them to move on Miraheze, the network suffered from multiple controversies that permanently damaged their reputation until its closure.
 * 3) 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.
 * 4) *Even if they're well-written, some of the pages are hilariously bad, especially the ones made during The Outcast Network era.
 * 5) The network's (along with other reception wikis') community is very immature and toxic.
 * 6) 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.
 * 7) *Qualitipedia's pro-GamerGate attitude made the wikis look even more biased.
 * 8) *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.
 * 9) The wikis' content is also biased, especially when covering average media. For example, on Crappy Games Wiki, a majority of the pages in this category were biased to a greater or lesser degree.
 * 10) Despite the pages trying to be reliable, they often make claims with no proof or source whatsoever, and while some can be simply ignored, others have major claims that don't provide any citations whatsoever. Examples include:
 * 11) *The Funimation (2019-present) page claims that Nathan Sharp, a.k.a NateWantstoBattle, cheated on Cristina Vee during the engagement, but there is no source to that, and even without citations, the claim was never proven before. One user tried to search for the evidence that Nathan cheated and the only "proof" he could find was a discussion on lolcow.farm where people mixed this with the false ProJared allegations, and showed a thread that doesn't prove anything.
 * 12) Overall, due to toxicity and a declining userbase, Qualitipedia shut down on a sour note 9 years after its first inception on FANDOM.

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 to other wikis. This was more evident in Rotten Websites Wiki, as a lot of pages from wikis like Atrocious YouTubers Wiki 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 were rebranded into one network called Qualitipedia, and revealed that it would aim to be more serious rather than something for fun. This alone caused many people like Portrock1566 to leave the network for good, as they felt that it lost its charm.
 * 4) *To officially form the rebrand, Allistayrian, a former admin of the network, decided to do what was called the Great Purge, essentially deleting every existing page on Qualitipedia. 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) *During this era on Qualitipedia, he made a few false accusations of some users such as Crappy Games Wiki founder of being a pedophile after creating an NSFW blog about hentai, which resulted in his 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.
 * 4) *He was also responsible for custom headers that added absolutely nothing to the pages and only caused drama and edit wars, which made them banned many times, although for some reason their ban was revoked.
 * 5) *The most infamous case was the unexpected shutdown 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.
 * 6) These ways also became pointless once two bureaucrats arrived, as they gave better ways to improve Qualitipedia, despite still failing.
 * 7) He was one of the biggest responsible for shutting down Qualitipedia due to his disastrous administration; after he wrongly accused CGW and AGW founder of pedophilia and SuperStreetKombat of the things listed above, no one even wanted him to be part of the staff anymore.

Allistayrian era (2020-2022)

 * 1) Allistayrian was an overall strict admin with insanely high standards, who would delete every page she would consider poorly-written, even if said pages are actually decent, especially from January to April 2021. After returning to Qualitipedia in June 2021, however, she improved and undeleted most of the decent pages.
 * 2) She also had a tendency to block users for doing things that annoyed her, such as blocking with Katsumi unfairly Szczypak2005 just because he split a page.
 * 3) She was also partially responsible for the creation of the "Good articles" template, which was completely useless and added nothing to a page since it was almost the same as the "Featured" article.

The Final Months (2022)

 * 1) Ever since Allistayrian retired, a lot of drama happened that severely killed Qualitipedia.
 * 2) Certain admins had secretly attempted to kill Qualitipedia, with no new idea of improvement and barely any support.
 * 3) In August 2022, in the Qualitipedia Discord server, a bot created by a former admin of the network, ghostpinged everyone in the server, causing them to spam nonsense in the chat. As a result, a former admin of the network, snapped from the Discord server and announced that they would retire for good, even though they already retired in April (before making a full retirement blog when the RfC to close Qualitipedia was open). After that happened, many people retired, which not only saddened many people but also led to damage control without the help of many useful admins.
 * 4) two admins unjustly revoked SuperStreetKombat's admin status after promoting a few users to mods "without consensus", even though there actually was one, and leader's poll to demote him took place in a private Discord server without Street's knowledge, which was unfair 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.
 * 5) In October 2022, after Qualitipedia's closure and after Stewards rejected the creation of newer reception wikis, Nidoking created an RfC that proposed an indefinite ban on the creation of new reception wikis. It ended up passing, so this prevents the creation of a reboot on Miraheze and seals Qualitipedia's fate as dead.

FatBurn0000's The New Reception Wiki (2022)

 * 1) 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.
 * 2) *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.
 * 3) 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.
 * 4) *The most laughable yet insulting thing at the same time, FatBurn 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, but it also shows that he refuses to take any responsibility for that.

Fred's Self-Hosted 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.

New Qualitipedia (2022-present)

 * 1) A lot of users reported to be wrongfully banned indefinitely due to the Abuse filter being poorly implemented and ban indefinitely whoever puts inappropriate language, even when certain words are not inappropriate at all. Thankfully, Original Authority, the owner of Telepedia, fixed a bit the filter and unbanned those who were unfairly banned.
 * 2) On this wiki, it is strictly forbidden to copy pages from the old wiki, even if you created the page yourself, and while there were a lot of biased pages, there were also a lot of good ones that almost everyone would agree with, and if you are the author of the page, you should have permission to move it especially since only you edited it.
 * 3) *Add to that, it caused quite a stir because they continued to copy pages from there for a while, and as if that wasn't enough, one user got banned just because of that copying. He did not attack anyone or any page on this wiki.

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) **Action 52
 * 13) **Balan Wonderworld
 * 14) *Awesome Games Wiki
 * 15) **Mario Forever
 * 16) **Super Mario Bros.
 * 17) **Fallout: New Vegas
 * 18) **Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville
 * 19) *Awful Movies Wiki:
 * 20) **The Smurfs
 * 21) **Cuties (despite once having redeeming qualities on the page)
 * 22) **Leaving Neverland
 * 23) *Greatest Movies Wiki:
 * 24) **2001: A Space Odyssey
 * 25) *Rotten Websites Wiki
 * 26) **Twitter
 * 27) **YouTube (2017-present)
 * 28) **Common Sense Media
 * 29) 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.
 * 30) 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, became inactive, were about to leave the site.
 * 31) At least some of biased page were thankfully removed in late 2021 and 2022, especially on Crappy Games Wiki.
 * 32) They were in full support of Vic Mignogna in his innocence after he was falsely accused of sexual misconduct by the voice actors at Funimation, and most of the QP users were pro-IStandWithVic.
 * 33) They at least temporarily made SuperStreetKombat a moderator after giving him an arbitrary demotion.
 * 34) The New Qualitipedia community is much healthier than the old one since most users of the old one retired.
