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.

When I was young, I talked a lot with non-native speakers. Old habits die hard. I am sorry for my English.

I don't care if any of my subpages are edited, renamed or deleted. I do not allow anyone to edit or delete my user page that you are currently viewing.

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.


I won't describe here all 5-10 ideas that I like in MediaWiki.

It's useless for many things. MediaWiki is clearly harmful in many ways.


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

So-called developers

Magnus Manske has no children. You should read this sentence 10 times. It says everything about what he does doesn't.

Magnus Manske was hired by 0 companies and 0 governments. You should read this sentence 10000000 times.

0 or so banks after 21 years. Any anonymity doesn't help society at this point. Anonymity helps those sorry scammers.

This is not a hall of fame. Note that GitHub only tracks history since Jan 20, 2008.

1.31.10

I hate MediaWiki 1.31.10.

  1. Not for banks after 21 years. Don't use MW+SMW if you want to manage private data with it, like credit card numbers, private comments, etc. It's nothing but a scam. 1
    1. MediaWiki is very quiet about this.
    2. MediaWiki developers and users censor and oppress critics.
    3. Newspapers are quiet.
    4. FBI doesn't care.
  2. It's useless for anything really as it doesn't have HTML forms at all. It is as useful as a coffin.
  3. MediaWiki programmers do not publish real CV and real portfolios anywhere. It's hard to say if they exist at all.
    1. Even LISP or others has 10 times more staff.
  4. Nobody said that text editors over the Internet were fast.
    1. They are slow and suitable only for publishing complete works, not for correcting typos, spelling, problems with a language.
      1. The larger the text, the bigger the problem becomes.
  5. I can open a 128 KiB file (or around 35 pages) after 10 seconds. User:Lxm6/Somewhat big text.
  6. MediaWiki 1.31.10 is bandwidth inefficient after 21 years.
    1. MediaWiki is very quiet about this.
    2. MediaWiki 1.31.10 will use around 128 KiB to view (HTTP GET) a 128 KiB file every time.
    3. MediaWiki 1.31.10 will use around 128 KiB to edit (HTTP POST) a 128 KiB file every time.
    4. MediaWiki 1.31.10 will also use 727 bytes per character every time for some reason...
    5. I hate all so-called MediaWiki developers. I mean ask other developers what do they think when they open Network tab of their browser. It's not rocket science.
    6. Rsync!
      1. Rsync is 9894 days old.
      2. We can use Rsync instead of HTTP.
      3. Some can attempt to emulate Rsync with HTTP or any other other protocol...
    7. HTTP PATCH is pretty rare outside IBM.
    8. Custom HTTP PATCH are possible which don't use Rsync.
  7. I can't open a 1 MiB file (or around 284 pages) after 1 minute unless my computer is NASA. See User:Lxm6/Some big text for example. I can paste from the clipboard and save a 1 MiB file in just 4 seconds with a very simple text editor. Keep in mind that .txt and MediaWiki formats are not the same and I do not claim that these comparisons are absolutely fair.
  8. I saw 1000-2000 page documents in my life. None of them were made with MediaWiki. Try to guess why...
  9. They are most likely breaking the law by always hiding authors behind the View history tab.
    1. Most creative people don't need anonymity. Fuck your MediaWiki! In 2023, most companies are not using MediaWiki for creative things.
    2. Most scientists and engineers do not need anonymity. Fuck your MediaWiki! In 2023, most scientists and engineers are not using MediaWiki for scientific and engineering purposes.
  10. Format lock-in. It's a trap.
    1. MediaWiki is very quiet about this.
    2. Special:Export only supports one format, which cannot be directly used by most other software.
    3. Some popular software don't even consider MediaWiki as an option.
    4. Special:Export and others have no options to get static HTML, CSS, JS files.
  11. Software lock-in. It's a trap. There are no alternatives after 21 years. It's dead. We have many with Office Open XML. We have many with PDF. We still have several browsers for HTML, CSS, JS.
    1. MediaWiki is very quiet about this.
    2. Only MediaWiki can understand undocumented MediaWiki formats. Even so-called evil Microsoft supported Office Open XML back in 2005.
  12. It doesn't help with compliance.
    1. There are absolutely no sane tools for content with age restrictions.
    2. There are absolutely no easy tools for the right to be forgotten in general... Think twice before posting anything on a MediaWiki website without competent administrators. There is a human factor here. Some websites may be fine, but others are bad in this regard.
      1. The documentation is almost absent yet again.
    3. There are absolutely no sane tools for GDPR.
  13. MediaWiki forces users to work in a certain way which is slower than HTML, CSS, JS. HTML, CSS, JS have their drawbacks, but MediaWiki makes many trivial things tedious.
    1. MediaWiki is very quiet about this.
  14. MediaWiki relies on page names, not IDs...
    1. Name conflicts are very real on any website with many topics with similar names...
    2. Users have no options without Extensions.
    3. Users have to mess with disambiguation pages.
    4. Users have to prefix things like Defense of the Ancients (Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne).
      1. This also clutters Special:Search results.
      2. This also makes everything very tedious and error-prone and everyone so unproductive.
      3. Poorly managed namespaces make everything very tedious and error-prone and everyone so unproductive.
    5. It took 10 years 9 months 4 days for so-called MediaWiki developers to actually fix the mess. You should read this sentence 1000000000 times. You MUST blacklist those fuckers literally everywhere.
  15. MediaWiki doesn't have tools to manage namespaces easily even with Extensions.
    1. Poorly managed namespaces make everything very tedious and error-prone and everyone so unproductive.
  16. I find subdomains and separate websites much more useful than MediaWiki namespaces. The so-called MediaWiki developers have been unable to properly use Google for 21 years.
  17. The previews are completely broken and misleading in general when looking at the historical version. They only work in trivial situations without transclusion.
  18. Diffs are completely useless and misleading in general. 1 2
    1. Any competent MediaWiki user should understand that they should comment because they don't have a good diff tool with MediaWiki. MediaWiki slows competent users down but not morons who don't comment. Yet another room for human factor.
  19. MediaWiki doesn't have tools to exclude historic content from Special:Search even with Extensions.
  20. Notepad++ had Find in Files around 2004-2008. MediaWiki is dead.
    1. Some users overuse templates where a simple search and replace is sufficient.
  21. WordPress doesn't have built-in search and replace for many things, but it does have a few plugins. MediaWiki is dead.
  22. MediaWiki does not have packages and a package manager.
    1. MediaWiki is very quiet about this.
    2. Any non-trivial MediaWiki templates or code may be insanely difficult to copy and paste between different projects.
    3. MediaWiki developers don't care.
    4. MediaWiki users don't care.
  23. Categories doesn't show any meta information other than title. They may break laws here as well.
  24. The <categorytree> tag which is built-in since MediaWiki 1.31 doesn't show any meta information other than title. They may break laws here as well.
  25. Categories are less useful than navigation templates because navigation templates allow user to place some text or other introductory content. But big navigation templates do more harm than good. Divide large navigation templates into smaller ones.
  26. 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...
  27. 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!
  28. Templates are case sensitive.
  29. Big categories are difficult to work with. Nobody cared about improving it for 21 years.
  30. The categories at the bottom are hard to use with large long articles. Nobody cared about improving it for 21 years.
    1. Many, many, many other websites don't place keywords at the bottom of the page. Did I say a lot? Yes, there are many sites.
    2. Some admins only place categories at the top or bottom, but this is hardly a solution.
    3. Categories can appear at the user's request anywhere in the middle of a long page.
  31. Many categories are harder to read. Nobody cared about improving it for 21 years.
    1. Categories are not one per line.
  32. Categories at the page are always visible and searchable. Nobody cared about improving it for 21 years.
  33. Categories are only per title, not per section or some other part.
    1. Users have to split pages as workaround.
  34. Categories require manual editing after renaming. Nobody cared about improving it for 21 years.
  35. Categories are not (can't be) sorted by their frequency at some special page or by editors. Nobody cared about improving it for 21 years.
  36. 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.
  37. Special:RecentChanges and Special:Contributions doesn't have options to group changes by summary. Any mass changes will clutter Special:RecentChanges and Special:Contributions.
  38. MediaWiki won't even attempt to group changes by their Special:Tags, intents rather than summaries.
  39. Users have to sign their messages after so many years. This is horrible. This is nothing but a scam. We had Invision and vBulletin. We have Discourse and some others now.
  40. MediaWiki doesn't have a proper blockquote or ways to share a message after so many years. This is nothing but a scam. We had Invision and vBulletin. We have Discourse and some others now.
  41. 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. MediaWiki is designed for collaboration, but does not have even a proper login.
  42. It takes so long to upload files one by one and users have to (re)name uniquely and describe files every time...
  43. Default styles are bad for commercial websites like Valve and others!
  44. YouTube videos aren't easy to add with embed code...
  45. Users have to action=purge after 21 years... The bug is open for around 10 years but it is present for around 21 years. 1.
  46. Even YouTube links cause several problems... 1 2 3 Even links to diffs may cause problems sometimes... 1 Template:= isn't crazy...
  47. Mediawiki's Media Viewer which is built-in since MediaWiki 1.31 won't cycle images even with JS on. It's even worse without Media Viewer.
  48. 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!!!
  49. MediaWiki is full bizarre interactions. 1 2 3 4
  50. 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.
  51. Only admins have effective mass undo tools and only with Extensions... This clearly puts assholes in a driver's seat.
  52. Some things don't work together.
    1. Categories show only page names and not {{DISPLAYTITLE}}s.
      1. Reasonably small navigational templates are better than categories if users have {{DISPLAYTITLE}}s, icons or something similar.
  53. 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.
  54. It's devs and users are sociopaths who want money. I see no reason for MediaWiki 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.

US and EU

How US and European Union let those MediaWiki freaks to scam us all for decades??? Fuck US and EU!!!

It's been 21 years 5 months 27 days.

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

They have huge problems with VPN and Brazilian users...

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

Wiki Representatives tend to censor pretty much any user page with criticism. Call the police and prosecutors. Never talk to Fandom CEOs without police.

MURIKA FUCK YEAH

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.
