You might want to remove the "under construction" thing from the main page, technically a wiki would always be under construction. Anway, I don't really understand why you don't edit on my stargate wikis? Is it just because I separate the canon and non canon on two different wikis instead of on one? There is a french wiki too. 150.203.223.24 16:19, 11 February 2012 (EST)
 * Technically, you are right, as a wiki always evolves and is never achieved. I'll keep this until all the base is set. I have some reasons I do not edit on you wikis and not related on the "canon"/"non-canon" thing:
 * Those wikis are semantic (and may be the only ones about the Stargate franchise) as they are full databases. In semantic databases, you put a data somewhere in a main article and you can retreive this particular data anywhere you need it. You don't have to write the data twice or more. Just use queries and the update is automatic.
 * There are some issues with your French wiki, especially with the namespaces, and I don't have the same style shape (As I make portals, you don't and some other stuff).
 * As you may have experimented by yourself, it's good to do what you want on your wiki, you have almost absolute power, you can design, upgrade, improve your wiki and that's good. You are not limited. That's something I wouldn't have with yours as I do not have access to the base.
 * You asked me once to join you and I declined. I do the same today. By consorsium, the French wiki will be removed from ShoutWiki when all articles will be transfered. For the English one, I cannot do that unless Jack Phoenix agrees. --LIMAFOX76 20:08, 11 February 2012 (EST)


 * I can see how semantic data would be useful but it appears to only work for small sections, if you have to write out something on two different pages you don't copy and paste the same things as they can be unrelated.
 * Issues such as namespace in French would only be improved should an admin who speaks french take over. Portals have their place but when the page is 2/3 portals linking all over the place it gets very cluttered.
 * That statement made you seem like you don't really care you just want to be in complete control. Making a wiki complex will confuse your viewers and drive away editors
 * All you are doing is further fragmenting the Stargate community, no one wiki would be able to grow and get better (within reasonable time) with five wikis. 150.203.223.24 20:51, 12 February 2012 (EST)


 * I can tell you: you really underestimate the power of Semantic MediaWiki, especially on related-subject matter. I saw you made articles about days. SMW gives you the opportunity to make just an automatic template showing what occured a "D" day (airing, birth, death...), just with a semantic data you put in the main article. You just see the few articles for now, but wait and see. Making portals is just a way to speak with images giving you a first glance to the subject. See http://heroeswiki.com/ for an example, my portals are inspired from this wiki. Regarding to your French wiki, the issue is with your LocalSettings.php file, so one needs access to your database to fix it. And, at last, it's not about power or control. Those wikis are the only ones where I have complete control. I'm just admin on other wikis and that's enough for me. About growing it's true it may take more time than yours as I'm working on the French and English wikis concurrently, and the other hepler, Facy5, is less confortable in English than me. Regarding the French community, there are only 4 wikis, one on Wikia (the first I made, abandonned and a mess now), the one I created on ShoutWiki (soon closed when all articles will be transfered), this one, and yours. And I saw there are more than 5 Stargate-related Englishs wikis. So, about fragmentation... --LIMAFOX76 07:26, 13 February 2012 (EST)


 * Im also working on a props wiki, fanon wiki, licensed material wiki, rpg wiki on top of the english and french ones. And i am pretty much the only person working on all of these. I don't see the reasoning behind further spreading out a community. 150.203.223.24 11:23, 13 February 2012 (EST)
