[00:24:53] [discord] I need to remember to help clean up the Devilman wiki, I finally got around to a measly four more pages of infobox fixing because executive dysfunction decided to rear its big ugly mug again and I nearly fell into Pokemon instead. [00:25:54] [discord] One day I'll have the attention management of a full adult and stop getting distracted by cute monsters. [03:45:54] [discord] Interesting to see [03:45:55] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1066926726770348112/Screenshot_20230122-203945.png [03:48:25] [discord] https://youtu.be/jaBbMnoA0ak [03:48:26] [YouTube] ⁨What is the Best Wiki on the Internet?⁩ | 15m 30s | Channel: ⁨Cybershell⁩ | 28,791 views | 2023-01-22 - 20:00:12UTC [04:00:14] [discord] where was that posted lmao [04:00:34] [discord] on the "competitor" site [04:00:48] [discord] fandom server? [04:01:11] [discord] if so im pretty sure that my friend who got me this account had gotten themselves banned from the fandom server a while ago [04:01:42] [discord] 😂 [04:01:59] [discord] lmao [04:02:21] [discord] i had an alt that i use to access the fandom server [04:02:35] [discord] but i have no account to verify it with [04:03:30] [discord] i will look into possibly making a throwaway fandom account to verify there [04:03:56] [discord] for obvious reasons i cant specify what account(s) i use to join the fandom server [04:05:25] [discord] i find it probable that is @Twisted from this server trying to see what the "competitor" would say or whatever (i am pinging them to ask if this is the case) [04:12:19] [discord]

https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/MangaNew11 [04:14:38] [url] User contributions for MangaNew11 | Community Central | Fandom | community.fandom.com [04:15:04] [discord] yeah im probably right about that, well good work @Twisted getting that response lmao [04:17:52] [discord] im going to go get betterdiscord and showhiddenchannels on my alt so i can see if theres any interesting metadata in the fandom server [04:19:16] [discord] ooo [04:19:19] [discord] that'd be interesting [04:21:17] [discord] yes it would be lmao, gimme a moment [04:28:03] [discord] things of interest: [04:28:03] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1066937329899548702/image.png [04:28:05] [discord]

[04:28:16] [discord] there isnt a whole lot, im sure they expected someone to try this [04:28:29] [discord] nothing about seo, business, etc. but it does give an idea of how the server is run [04:29:45] [discord] if you have an account you can look through the things that people post in #analytics lmao, they completely ignore the big large message saying not to share the data witout permission [04:32:27] [discord] "without permission" here is the normal user share admin data [04:32:41] [discord] admin share their data are nomal [04:34:11] [discord] That's quite interesting [04:34:45] [discord] technically #analytics page can be only accessed by admins and above [04:34:51] [discord] searched the keyword seo: [04:34:52] [discord]

[04:34:58] [discord] theres a lot more but i need to eat [04:35:07] [discord] i am talking about the server in the discord [04:35:41] [discord] oh forgot, not #analytics but the actual analytic page on the wiki [04:35:50] [discord] lmao [04:35:56] [discord] yeah the analytics page on the wiki says not to share it [04:36:04] [discord] but the discord channel doesnt remind anyone of that [04:36:35] [discord] well, I guess that just some ancient stuffs pre-Fandom [04:37:13] [discord] from the best practices channel [04:37:13] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1066939638322835456/image.png [04:48:25] [discord] yeh i was trying to see what they would say cuz rn my mira wiki is beating a fandom wiki but losing to wikipedia [04:50:08] [discord] makes sense [04:50:50] [discord] The reason why Fandom mostly have higher ranking than Miraheze because they have much more "high quality" wikis [04:50:58] [discord] lol true [04:51:02] [discord] fandom.com has good domain authority [04:51:11] [discord] people are just too lazy/too adjust to fandom to switch [04:51:13] [discord] & backlinks [04:51:15] [discord] Also another problem with Miraheze is that MH do allow custom domain [04:51:20] [discord] tru [04:51:33] [discord] yea but there's no way we'd stop doing that [04:51:40] [discord] even though it can have SEO drawbacks [04:52:46] [discord] I think Google did grab wikis through Wikidata [04:53:15] [discord] wikidata is cc0 [04:53:24] [discord] so that makes sense [04:54:15] [discord] And we don't have any backlink on Wikidata [04:54:15] [discord] This is the third problem that affect SEO [04:54:41] [discord] ^could be the largest issue [04:55:08] [discord] despite what the google CEO said to congress about humans not manually influencing search results i feel strongly that someone manually chose to source data from wikidata [04:55:19] [discord] its both a user experience and copyright benefit [05:32:29] [discord] from fandom server as well [05:32:30] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1066953547058524180/image.png [05:57:54] [discord] you can make discord window smaller and take more square looking screenshots of messages [05:58:56] [discord] long pics are hard to read on both mobile and desktop [06:16:17] [discord] that is a good idea [06:22:18] [discord] thank you [06:22:18] [discord] I'm a pretty exhausted from irl work, mostly mentally [06:22:20] [discord] and I forgot I promised migrate smaller wiki off fandom [09:41:33] [discord] about the whole fandom server thing: I'm constantly looking up stuff there like SEO and such, it's not really a covert situation? [12:01:34] [discord] No worries, slow and steady wins the race as they say! And self car is important, you take all the time to rest that you need! [12:59:34] [discord] huh [12:59:34] [discord] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1067066058260893776/IMG_0611.jpg [12:59:39] [discord] interesting update [14:56:33] [discord] Aren't there enterprise sponsors for Miraheze? [14:58:07] [discord] What is lacking to remunerate a bit volunteers under Mediawiki principles if that's conceivable? [15:14:13] [discord] Nope [15:14:25] [discord] There's enterprises which *use* Miraheze but no one who directly sponsors it [15:21:08] [discord] As for the remuneration part, we already barely get enough funds to keep the servers up so it's really not possible to give _anything_ to any volunteers at this moment [15:49:14] [discord] Sadly most ppl would prefer sell their data to some kind of ad company rather than pay $1/m to support freedom [16:18:09] [discord] my mom says she doesn't want companies to have her data but she has no good alternatives to most of the products she uses [16:18:18] [discord] and yeah its true duckduckgo and ecosia both have worse results than google [16:18:53] [discord] one of the local stores gives her discounts in exchange for a membership where she has to provide a lot of personal information about herself but it'd be way too expensive to find anywhere else to shop [16:25:49] [discord] 😂 [16:28:23] [discord] funny and sad [16:41:18] [discord] if 650 users (exceptionally this year due to high energy prices) paid that per month that's all we'd need to stay up! [16:42:08] [discord] We always encourage small donations as even though individually people might think $1 won't make a difference it really does! [22:19:43] [discord] if everyone who visited miraheze donated just $10 our staff could be very rich and flex on instagram
