Can't Afford Art School?

Well, I guess it’s time to use that Tumblr! 

I’m TheAutumnLeafeon on Reddit, but the username is already taken here... 

Anyway have some SpongeBob Kirbies! Strangely, there was nearly no content for this crossover. 

Thank you for inspiring me to draw again! @armorabs @calmao666 @momobosi @lunesuke @kirby-the-gorb

wake up babe, new reason to ditch FANDOM/Wikia just dropped

Previosuly

corporate monster infested with ads which devoured Gamepedia and other companies (feat me on their shit policies, SEO and migration process)

turning entire articles into ads if paid enough

limited functionality preventing admins to even fight vandalism

merging and removing of LGBT+ wikis (and forced domain change for educational [think serious] wikis to "fandom")

official wiki status has no meaning in controlling shit

very much censorship (same good ol' allergy to adult stuff)

gets paid by US Navy to advertise their events (one, two)

Alternative free wiki hostings (aka wiki farms)

Miraheze - started in 2015, non-commercial - no ads and runs on donations, wide array of MediaWiki features, wide array of allowed types of wikis and content, much autonomy for projects, custom domain and private wiki options

wiki.gg - started in 2022 by former Gamepedia staff, limited to video games, accent on involvement of game devs and thus hosting official wikis, has ads for anons (but only of games having wikis here)

Telepedia - started in 2022, limited to entertainment (although might allow other themes upon review), has ads for anons, replicates Miraheze structure

WikiTide - started in 2023, no ads and runs on donations (but also tied w/ premium version called WikiForge), largely replicates Miraheze but has stricter content policies, custom domain option

Other free options I'm aware of are either too limited in allowed content or are very outdated/unstable in technical department to recommend here (or in case of Neoseeker - I'm completely unfamiliar with it, and can't say anything about it), but you still can check them out, alongside paid hostings, on this MediaWiki page.

If you (or your community) are brave and dedicated enough you can go with self-hosted MediaWiki instance (aka independent hosting), like JoJo Wiki (who started on Wikia and succeed at overtaking the SEO) or NIWA wikis. This option, of course, requires funding and technical knowledge, but it's still very much possible.

How to find existing alternative/independent wikis

try to use "-fandom" filter for search query in Google, or use other search engines like Bing or DuckDuckGo

Indie Wiki Buddy browser extension - it modifies search engine results and performs redirects based on its centralized list of independent wikis; a new indie wiki has to be requested/submitted to get added [ Firefox / Chrome ]

Redirect to wiki.gg browser extension - same as IWB but for wikis moved to wiki.gg (as I understand, works automatically without dedicated listing) [ Firefox / Chrome ]

(simple) Redirector browser extension - in case the wiki is neither on IWB or wiki.gg, and it doesn't filter out search results - only performs redirect on whatever you get; a redirect has to be set manually - see this tutorial [ Firefox / Chrome ]

Fuck FANDOM, support real people, support indie wikis

Come on Dim!! This is so close!! The most clever and evil Mario villain deserves this!

Dimentio: I've heard he's one of the best villains in any Mario RPG, but i haven't finished SPM yet i just think i could make him worse he's a silly little guy your honour Iluquim: Enby Swag Owns an illusion maze within a whole Carnival/Circus world Dances to A Queda by Gloria Grove (which is an anthem) Lowkey evil Just look at all the details on their costumes.

How do I know if this tumblr fundraiser is a scam?

Look at the date the blog was created

Look at their reblogs, most will have happened within one day (usually the day they post their fundraiser), and then never again.

Search their name on tumblr, they would likely have spammed multiple blogs and some blogs tag usernames.

Usually it’s a pet or transgender related surgery fundraiser (or whatever is “trendy at the time” i.e. someone supposedly from Ukraine, someone who was brutalised by cops etc.).

Now this is not to say that these fundraisers aren’t legit, but likely they either aren’t or are taken from legit fundraising sites and reposted without the original person’s knowledge.

They ask for PayPal donations, it’s quick, simple, all it needs is a bank account linked to an email address, and there is no way to check if it’s legit or to see how much has been donated.

These scams have been going on for many years and they raise funds, delete their blog, open a new one, raise funds, and the cycle goes on.

PLEASE DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE REBLOGGING ONE OF THESE SCAM POSTS!

When you keep creating new accounts to get free shit. But instead of harmless free trials you milk people’s bleeding hearts for money.

I love Breath of the Wild and Wind Waker, so I fused them together!
