It seems that the friendly folks over at Mod The Sims have created The Customized Sims Wiki, meant to be a place for creators to create pages for their custom content. They think that our fanon pages, while effective, don't really give the "feeling of being official", so they want to create their own wiki and achieve their dreams. The problem is, they're not very proficient with wiki-editing, and they would like some help in building their wiki, especially on templates. I can help somewhat with templates, but I do know that the templates here on The Sims Wiki are very complex, so I'd like to ask the community if they would like to help these guys out.

If they need to use the templates here, it would better to create the articles here--rather than a whole new wiki. Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 00:01, March 25, 2015 (UTC)

They really need to realise it's a wiki not a wikia. ;P --- ☣ ʀodrigo x (talk)(contribs) 00:04, March 25, 2015 (UTC)

In response to Auror's comment... we discussed that at length on the IRC channel. I tend to agree, but I feel it may be difficult to get that to happen. For one, their issue is that creating CC articles on our fanon namespace diminishes their legitimacy or marginalizes them, in their eyes. They probably aren't happy with simply creating fanon pages, otherwise they'd have already done that. Right now the Notability Policy expressly forbids articles about custom creations in the main namespace on TSW, so we'd either have to amend the rule, force them to use the fanon space, or create a brand new namespace for them. Ultimately creating a separate wiki may be the most straightforward solution, especially since any other solution would need to be planned and discussed extensively on TSW beforehand. Ultimately, I'm not opposed to making some changes here to accommodate them, but I'm not sure that any accommodation we'd be able to make would suit their needs or wishes. -- LostInRiverview talk • blog • contribs 00:19, March 25, 2015 (UTC)
