Polcompball Wiki is a wiki on Miraheze dedicated to Polcompball, a parody of the Countryballs webcomic focusing on political ideologies. It was originally founded on Fandom before being forced to move to Miraheze. The wiki documents political ideologies in the form of countryballs, mainly well-known ideologies which either exist in real-life or are purely fictional.

Bad Qualities

  1. The wiki's community is incredibly toxic, as there are actual extremists and bigots on the wiki.
    • Speaking of which, the Discord server is even worse, as it's even more toxic than the meta wiki itself.
  2. Some of the users even straight-up supported racism, sexism, religious discrimination, and anti-LGBT sentiment![1][2]
  3. The wiki's toxicity got so bad that it led to an investigation from the Battle for Dream Island Wiki's staff, which led to Fandom staff actually shutting down all Ballmedia wikis just because of this wiki itself.[3][4]
  4. A spin-off of the wiki, known as Polcompball Anarchy Wiki that is dedicated to less well-known and fan-made ideologies, isn't any better, with several more bigoted users actually making pages which expose their views as seen on the second pointer.

Redeeming Qualities

  1. There are tons of well-documented pages on the wiki, such as:
    • Marxism–Leninism
    • Kakistocracy
    • Religious Theocracies
    • Ho Chi Minh Thought
    • Nazism
    • Fascism
    • Showa statism
    • Feminism
    • Hungarism
    • Imperialism
    • Anti-Imperialism
    • Capitalism
    • Maoism
    • Socialism
    • Bonapartism
  2. Although this quality is debatable, the wiki wasn't fully responsible in causing the countryball/ballmedia-based wikis to get shut down on Fandom, as Fandom themselves were the main culprit responsible for closing all of them down.
  3. There are some nice and non-extreme users in the wiki depsite how toxic the community is.
  4. Several of the artworks used on the pages' infoboxes are professionally made and are great to look at.
  5. Starting from June 28, 2023, the wiki, along with the Anarchy wiki, is thankfully cracking down on users who believe in extremist ideologies.
