My Rant on the Miraheze Reception Wikis

Note: This is the first page on this wiki! This page was created by FatBurn0000, the founder of this wiki, on August 7, 2022. "My Rant on the Miraheze Reception Wikis" (stylised in sentence case) is a DeviantArt post by Deviant DuchessSponge5000. It was posted on August 26, 2021, and is a rant about the Miraheze reception wikis, including the mh:receptionwikis:Qualitipedia wikis (and various former affiliates) along with Amazing YouTubers Wiki.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Like all rants on the reception wikis, it does not really need to be a "rant," as the user could just directly talk to the staff about the situation. Yes the rant does argue that the wikis were a bad idea from the start and that the staff are corrupt, but the former is not a justifiable point, and the latter could be either fixed with constructive criticism or (if necessary) handled by stewards.
 * 2) *Also, in some more minor cases, Duchess could improve the issues themselves.
 * 3) Duchess does not use any proof of their claims, besides referencing the Qualitipedia Discord server, and even then, they do not link to the server or their profile on there.
 * 4) In the rant, Duchess labels several users as "toxic" for no good reason:
 * 5) They label Blubabluba9990 as toxic due to their actions on the reception wikis, which is questionable for several reasons:
 * 6) Duchess along with MarioMario456 were actually very harsh on Bluba as they constantly gave them indefinite blocks when they clearly deserved temporary ones.
 * 7) Bluba was also still blocked at the time Duchess made the rant, so it was also an unfair judgement at the time (and still now technically).
 * 8) Duchess also labelled FreezingTNT as "toxic," despite FreezingTNT, like Bluba, also being blocked at the time.
 * 9) Duchess labelled Raidarr as toxic despite them not doing anything wrong. Presumably the only reason why Duchess claimed that Raidarr was toxic is because they made a blog reporting on the website wiki closure incident and that they were promoted to administrator as Duchess' replacement.
 * 10) Overall, even for the users whose alleged "toxicity" is not easily debunkable, Duchess still gives no proof of this alleged "toxicity."
 * 11) Duchess states that the wikis do not even feel like "reception wikis" most of the time due to having pages on media that Wikipedia claims to have good reception, despite Wikipedia only covering reception from critics.
 * 12) They state that the wikis are unprofessional due to many pages, especially on Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki, allegedly look like "Vyond styled rant," but do not give any examples or proof.
 * 13) Duchess states that the administrators are toxic with no proof, and also criticises them cross-wiki blocking users, despite the fact that Duchess themselves along with MarioMario456 blocked Blubabluba9990 cross-wiki themselves multiple times, making them a hypocrite.
 * 14) They complain about the wiki "not making their mind up" when it comes to pages moving to other wikis, which, while a reasonable enough complaint, is still questionable given that the wikis have had lots of changes over the years which causes more changes. In fact, some of these changes can even be done to improve the wikis, as the reason why the Ralph Breaks the Internet page on Awful Movies Wiki was deleted and the Greatest Movies Wiki page was restored was because the film had actually received good reception.
 * 15) *In fact, ironically enough, Duchess themselves was the one who made this change.
 * 16) Duchess' point about "cancelling and stalking others," while still potentially relevant (though it is unsourced so it remains an overall poor pointer), inaccurately defines stalking.
 * 17) They, of course, decided that the reception wiki hatedom was right about the reception wikis being a bad idea from the start and stated that the wikis are "ruining the whole purpose of an opinion," despite the fact that these wikis are not made to disrespect opinions and are supposed to document and explain a piece of media's reception.
 * 18) Duchess claims that the reception wikis ruined Miraheze's reputation, and while this is partially true, it is mainly arguable that this was just the Outcast Network (along with other user reception wikis and the Fandoms & Hatedoms Wiki Database) and not the entire website, especially given that the few people that criticised Miraheze as a whole for the reception wikis (which appears to only be on theTopTens rants) were mainly talking about the two mentioned wiki families.
