I find this wiki very basic when it comes to the gameplay.

Half-Life:Blue Shift has sold around 800,000 copies at retail (this figure does not include later sales on Steam) according to the Gamasutra.

This wiki has tiny 2-5kbytes article after so many years. English Wikipeda is just slightly better with 25 kb article after so many years.

MediaWiki

The idea that anyone in the world (literally anyone) can edit your Notepad with you is pretty insane. It was never a good idea.

I see any success despite MediaWiki, not because MediaWiki. I edited myself with MediaWiki for around two decades and have many reasons why.

MediaWiki developers don't use their shit.

I remember a student who switched from MediaWiki to the plain text HTML, CSS, JS because it was less ugly, reliable, faster and doesn't cause any mess with user management. They communicated offline and using third party comment sections.

Freaks without CVs and a portfolio have been using it for decades. I'm not one of them.

1.31.10

I hate MediaWiki 1.31.10.

1. They are most likely breaking the law by always hiding the authors behind the View history tab.
2. Format lock-in. It's a trap. MediaWiki is very quiet about this.
   1. Special:Export only supports one format, which cannot be directly used by most other programs.
   2. Some popular programs don't even consider MediaWiki as an option
   3. Special:Export and others has no options to get static HTML, CSS, JS files
3. The MediaWiki format and programs are inferior to some other options. MediaWiki is very quiet about this.
4. Categories doesn't show any meta information other than title. They may break laws here as well.
5. MediaWiki doesn't add &oldid= by default, which doesn't help normal people.
   1. Users need to know Special:PermanentLink and where to get the ids...
6. MediaWiki doesn't assist with linking and references. Overwhelming majority of users break laws here as well by following the MediaWiki manual on it (authors). They are so lawless and pathetic!
7. Big categories are difficult to work with. Nobody cared about improving it for 20 years.
8. Categories are hard to use with big articles. Nobody cared about improving it for 20 years.
9. Many categories are harder to read. Nobody cared about improving it for 20 years.
   1. Categories are not one per line.
10. Categories are always visible and searchable. Nobody cared about improving it for 20 years.
11. Special:RecentChanges and Special:Contributions show just list of changes and doesn't have any options to show changes themself. This is horrible and very old as well. Everyone is so unproductive because of this.
12. Special:RecentChanges and Special:Contributions doesn't have options to group changes by summary. Any mass changes will clutter Special:RecentChanges and Special:Contributions.
13. MediaWiki won't even attempt to group changes by their Special:Tags, intents rather than summaries.
14. MediaWiki doesn't have a proper blockquote or ways to share a message after so many years. This is nothing but a scam.
15. MediaWiki fails even when logging in, and after so many years people can't log in with just Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Steam, Ubisoft, or anything else that makes sense. This program is designed for collaboration, but does not even have a proper login.
16. It takes so long to upload files one by one and users have to (re)name uniquely and describe files every time...
17. Default styles are bad for commercial websites like Valve and others!
18. YouTube videos aren't easy to add with embed code...
19. Users have to action=purge after 20 years... The bug is open for around 10 years but it is present for around 20 years. 1.
20. Even YouTube links cause several problems... 1 2 3 Even links to diffs may cause problems sometimes... 1 Template:= isn't crazy...
21. MediaWiki is full of oddities... 1 2 But nobody can fix it with Template:]. I can't even create a red link for it! It's so broken!!!
22. MediaWiki is full bizarre interactions. 1
23. Partial mass undos are insanely demanding and error-prone if done by hand. MediaWiki doesn't help. It's even worse if users don't care to use summaries consistently! See above.
24. Only admins have effective mass undo tools and only with Extensions... This clearly puts assholes in a driver's seat.
25. The syntax of MediaWiki is much more verbose than that of LISPs and also varies between 2 or 3 brackets.1 IDE or commenting is pretty mandatory.
    1. Mainstream programming languages have quite different syntaxes
26. It's devs and users are sociopaths who want money. I see no reason for this program to exist in it's state. Such a waste of money and time. Fuck FBI!!!
    1. They throw a nearly empty documentation...
    2. They even oppress people when people do it instead of them.

1.23.16

action=purge doesn't help with File namespace and categories from the templates sometimes... MediaWiki 1.23.16 is so broken.

Incident with french citizen around 2017

MediaWiki developers hate they are called incompetent in their documentation.

They had had an incident where some asshole without a CV or portfolio banned a french citizen for publishing limitations and bugs directly in their manuals. Their concerns weren't super important but not trivial either.

They banned a person instead of discussing it anywhere.

French person clearly stated that they state flaws and nothing else. No excuses followed from that person or other officials.

They don't have official reps and CEOs. Only thug scammers.

Nobody cared about that. The american newspapers are quiet. The european newspapers are quiet.

Summary

It's been 20 years.

The FBI doesn't care.

Many millions of dollars went toward this SHIT.

Few or nobody cares to use it for commercial websites in 2023.

other websites

bugs.wine.org and forum.winehq.org

Never use real names here.

dimesio which is most likely to be a Rosanne DiMesio <dimesio@earthlink.net> slanders people for no reason all.

Others aren't better and don't even care.

The American newspapers don't care about it. The European newspapers don't care about it. The Reddit doesn't care about it.

Fuck Wine. Fork Wine.

wiki.teamfortress.com as of 2023

Yet another wiki which is full of morons who have nothing to do with their lifes.

Don't use real names when dealing with:

1. User:Decimate
2. User:Darkid
3. User:Mgpt

Examples: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

More pointless examples: 8 9 10 11 12

Morons are pretty common here. 13 14 15

Morons keep your life harder because... Well... Well... Morons! 16 17 All Strategy pages are hard to read because they need callouts or screenshots or both. Morons doesn't care about anything.

They will come and roll over you. BECAUSE MURIKA 18 19 20

Summary

Fucking no-lifers.

Never let your children to be there. Lxm6 (talk) 21:57, 29 April 2023 (PDT)

Fandom as of 2023

Note that Fandom has some pointless developers (yes!) and admins who forcefully oversimplify things, abuse their rights, slander people and avoid any real discussion as of 2023.

Ignore positive reviews.

Fuck Jimmy Wales. Fuck Perkins Miller.

Insane and pointless censorship

User pages are censored on the main Fandom website so nobody can see any real criticism. Call the police and prosecutors.

MURIKA FUCK YEAH

Mendes2

Urban dictionary doesn't lie about Mendes2 with their

A tool which FANDOM staff manipulate to do shady work, Mendes2 is the equivalent of a 20th century mafia leader, just that he blocks people infinitely instead of decapitating them.

Mendes2 is an autocratic person who does not care about the feelings of others.

by y = mx + b December 14, 2021

Mendes2 is insanely oppressive and belongs to jail or mental institution or both.

Never talk to Mendes2 or Fandom CEOs without police.

Summary

Fucking no-lifers.

Never let your children to be there.

English Wikipedia as of 2023

It's full of weirdos who write 2Kb articles about video games likes these. They spam their citation needed templates instead of adding contents...

I prefer a shitty websites from the 90s over wikishit in many situations:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lode_Runner_2&action=history&offset=&limit=500
• https://entropymine.com/jason/lr/lr2/

I can't even play games here! Fuck you!

It's dead since 2006.
Many articles were half-assed.

bugs.ghostscript.com as of 2023

Unrelated to gaming but still.

They ignore the issue 4 times in a row and ban the reporter for reopening the issue with a foolish comment in the ban message.

The American newspapers don't care about it. The European newspapers don't care about it.

Fuck Ghostscript. Fork Ghostscript.
