== Communities ==

Alrighty, seems like I'm going to be more active on Miraheze. You're probably wondering why I closed so many communities but not this one. I think it's because for others I had this idea, but I hadn't really done it for any community in particular, just me wanting to do wikis in THAT style I still have an obsession with to date. DKpedia and Sega Wiki are still being edited by at least one person and I don't want to revoke it (although the Nintendo Wiki was different because I did not like that the guy was changing the interface, but if he can recreate his own one, I'll give back any content that he made).

Meanwhile, Fanonpedia I designed with community in mind (e.g. my friend RPG Gamer, who is busy but he considered doing a similar site to Fanonpedia for a while now, iirc). It's also the first time someone has combined the ideas of Fantendo and Userpedia (namely their original iterations from '07) into a single wiki. Fanon Wiki is entirely different from Fantendo, and then Userpedia was permanently shut down. I just think it wouldn't work if one tried to make a fanon-based or user-based wiki without a community in mind.

It feels nice to have some indirect spiritual successor to SMW/Userpedia/Fantendo from back in the day, like an attempted continuation at it (which is working well here, imo) because then not only is it aiming to preserve the culture from then but at the same time it's, at least for me, like a new start. So even if Pirate Goomba, Bob Hoskins, and Chuckster lore originated from SMW, I'm still not allowing articles on the other communities and people without their permission (for obvious reasons), because consider how three aforementioned things are neither owned by SMW nor Fantendo, so they're acceptable for inclusion here.
