Forum:Friendship with Darthipedia

The administrators at Darthipedia decided that they would support a friendship with SWfanon, and since I'm on here a lot, I thought I'd make a proper request. The two wikis have much in common and can benefit from each other The almighty Ninja 19:37, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Greetings. As an administrator of Darthipedia, I felt it necessary to provide a small bit of information about ourselves. Darthipedia, the Star Wars Humor Wiki was founded on August 10th, 2007 by Gonk. Since that time, Darthipedia has quickly grown to over 900 articles and hundreds of users. Currently of our 920 articles, 11 of them are featured, as well as 7 Good Articles (what we jokingly call Articles of Eviltude). We also have our official Sith mascot, Darth Darth Binks, whom we display proudly on our Monobook logo. At Darthipedia, not only are you allowed to create joke articles on canon characters, you are also allowed to create new characters, (they have to be humorous, of course) such as one of our more well-known characters, Darth Elmo. Darthipedia would be very pleased to count the Star Wars Fanon Wiki among our friends. If you have anymore questions, please feel free to leave me a messagae or join our IRC channel. Thank you very much. Cheers! supergeeky1 My Talk 05:30, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I see no reason why we can have a partnership between our two sites. None of your user take others fanon as your own, which has been a problem on this site in the past; so i'll endorse a partnership between us. Darth Abeonis Sith Council Sith Campaign 10:30, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

While I support the friendship, I think the Star Wars Fanon article will need to actually be rewritten so it's serious. It's not exactly the brightest idea to make a stereotypical mockery, even just for comedic purposes, out of a partner wiki. - President Brandon Rhea  (Pressroom) (Record) 19:00, 31 March 2008 (UTC) I know it's not meant to be serious, but I think what you should at least do is make a second page under Darthipedia:Star Wars Fanon or something and have at least a legit stub about Star Wars Fanon. People may know that Darthipedia is a joke wiki, but my only qualm with that page is that it feeds into all of the retarded stereotypes that people make about us. - President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 19:55, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, everyone should take a look at Star Wars Fanon Wiki from Darthipedia. Remember, it's a joke article. Anyway, I was going to add that if we are to be partners with Darthipedia, that'd be good, so we could officially divert any jokesters to there, rather than here, and our Wiki may be cleansed for sure of future jokes. --<font color="#9F0500">Victor Dorantes  <font color="#0C003F">(discussion) <font color="#0C003F">(contributions) 18:41, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * We don't even have a serious article about ourselves, the only semi-serious articles we have are policy pages. Don’t take it personally; we like you, that's why we proposed official friendship. If you want… you can write a stereotypical mockery about us too. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 19:49, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Accepting a stereotype as the final truth is a surefire way of making sure it's never changed. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 23:33, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think we need a serious page, really, and we will definitely not be making a joke article here. --<font color="#9F0500">Victor Dorantes <font color="#0C003F">(discussion) <font color="#0C003F">(contributions) 20:02, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Personally I wouldn't rule out those stereotypes as entirely inaccurate, Brandon. -MPK 22:11, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
