Anti-Wikia Alliance

''Warning: This page may be outdated. See this page on Wikia (here) for the latest update.''

Please remember to add your new wiki link to our New Wiki Database, so we can keep track of all new wikis to later on make a wiki database site.

''This page is backed up as there is a high risk this page will be deleted by staff. In the event of this pages deletion, the full conversation will be moved to ShoutWiki.''

''Please note: this page is not a petition. This is just a list of users/wikis to keep track, and possibly to give the Wikia staff a different perspective.''

Disclaimer: This page is not a petition. This forum page is for a group of Wikian editors who call themselves the "Anti-Wikia Alliance," (AWA), hoping to give the Wikia staff a different perspective.

The other half of this page, the List of Wikis Moving, is here for informational purposes only, to keep track of a list of wikis planning to switch to a Wikia alternative due to the switch to The New Look, Wikia, or Oasis skin (whatever the staff prefers to call it).

The users that contribute to this page are not liable for its content or any disturbances it may cause. Comments are welcome.

How do I move my Wiki to a new host?

 * A:
 * Download a database dump from Special:Statistics on your wiki (towards the bottom).
 * Contact the new host and they will explain how they want you to upload the database dump (you can usually use Special:Import).
 * If moving to ShoutWiki, you will have to either e-mail them at technical@shoutwiki.com with the link to your wiki and the link to the new wiki or file a bug report at BugZilla.shoutwiki under imports with the same links.


 * B:
 * If you're moving to your own server, I have a tool that makes much better dumps than Special:Statistics (preserves all diff links, logs, images, deleted edits etc.). I'll publish it next week (need some time to prepare the code). Contact me if you need more info. 19:28, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

 * BulldozerD11 - The Forced adoption of the new skin is just the latest in a number of changes that effect small wikis that include been sidelined by the new Portal hubs, The inability to add license info in the 'improved' gallery upload, The shift to social site, Blogs etc. I joined to create an encyclopaedia based sited.

 * Lookerisawesome - I think it's BS and stupid. MAJORITY RULES, last time I checked >:@
 * Kyle123197 - Hated the skin from the second I saw it.
 * TulipVorlax - Not because of the skin though. It's sad because i was in the process of becomming a french helper and now that won't happen. Sorry Wikia.
 * Mrepic - It's time we make a stand. I have two wikis. I'm bringing my new one off wikia, but my other one, the one I hate, I'm cluttering up to give wikia a piece of my mind! Stop Oasis! bring down the wikia empire!
 * Biggest GTA Fan Ever

 * PK2PK2 - The worstest skin ever Wikia.
 * Chill57181 - Well, the wiki I edit on, the Club Penguin Wiki, is moving, so I guess I'm moving with it.
 * Edward_Chernenko - Because of the new TOS and for thousands of other reasons (Wikia knows all of them from my bugreports).
 * Creatureboy11 - Au revoir Wikia on et six novembre! I actually speak english as my primary language :P -
 * Staffan15
 * Hehe5 - GONE!
 * Michael von Preußen
 * Thalbrook - What's the point of having an encyclopedic site that's focused on crushing information to make room to advertise other wikis that will be crushed?
 * UxieLover1994 - If they ignore us, then I'm gone with my wikis
 * A_F_K_When_Needed is pro-AWA!
 * Megatron1- 2 wikis I am on are planning to move just because they even started this.

 * Airhogs777 - Co-Founder
 * GameGear360
 * LeonStrife95
 * 24.18.1.150
 * TVthePunisher - I'm up in the air about this, as is Bleach Wiki on the matter. We may or may not be moving, we'll update with a final decision after we go through a proper, full discussion on the matter.
 * User:Goodwood
 * 600613
 * Unregistered Contributor~aka~X~ I don't know if I'm leaving. I think I'll just see how it pans out. I would like to sing a song respecting the wonderful staff for listening to us, so here's the link.
 * Legoace342 - I' half leaving. MLN Wiki is leaving but other wikis I'm on aren't.
 * User:Matthew2602
 * Godisme- I will be doing whatever Bleach wiki does. If we move, I am leaving wikia, if not I will stay with it
 * TheDevilHand888 - Same as other Bleach Wiki members.
 * Chimpso
 * Thebrains222 - Wikia are throwing so much away with the new skin.
 * GTAAAF - I will protect Monaco, until his death :'(
 * Ciencia Al Poder - Still not sure what to do.
 * Courtney~Duncan~TDA - I'm definetely not abandoning wiki for a motive like this, but I want the monaco skin to be at least a choice.
 * Misstditylerfan - Agreed with Courtney~Duncan~TDA.
 * Kingcjc - depends on the wiki. If some I work on vote to stay, and some leave, I work on them leaving.
 * TDobsessed88- I agree with Courtney~Duncan~TDA
 * Lssj4 - I l agree with courtney.I just cant take this anymore the look isnt here yet but once it is there will be A ALLAINCE!
 * DecL2010
 * Misiek95 – I'm not sure, so now here.
 * AlexShepherd
 * Mackmoron11 - I might be leaving, but for now I'm staying at Wikia...
 * JacktheBlack- right now I'm seeing what my fellow admins think and fell on this issue
 * Chessmaster - What is there to like about Oasis? 18:27, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * TheSlicer - I'm usually not one to participate in petitions, but I'm so infuriated by the new skin that I hardly care anymore.
 * Some Color Mage: Whether or not I completely leave Wikia is dependent on the decision of the Final Fantasy Wiki.
 * nh.jg - When the Monaco skin came out back in 2008, there used to be negative comments surrounding the change. I, for one, happened to appreciate the transition to Monaco ever since, but now that Wikia has decided to adopt another skin to replace Monaco, the same trend of feedback has happened again only this time I am part of those people opposing such transition to the new skin.
 * SubAqua I don't understand why the staff isn't listening to those who keep the community running. It's like they're trying to force us to accept this, even though that should be impossible, since we are herre of our own free will.
 * Crotocall
 * TurtleShroom - I'd only take fleeing as a last resort, but I despise the stupidity of the Staff and will gladly leave if I MUST.
 * Blackworm - Why couldn't this have been simply optional? I just don't get it. Why do the other skins need to be deleted? Utterly humiliating and utterly pointless...
 * Scarbrow - Still considering the final flee, but decidedly hate both Oasis's design and forcedness.
 * Iamred1 - I just can go.
 * DelNorte - Oasis is crap.
 * Fight with me brothers and sisters of the wiking world! If The Vault and Resistance go, then I go.
 * Tails 6000  11:51, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not going to leave, because my home wiki of Zeldapedia is not moving, but I seriously hate the skin and doubt I will continue to edit anyhow. Wikia, you are MORONS. -Stars talk  16:14, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Starman125 - Pending until the Kirby Wiki agrees to move.
 * You're mixing your truths with your theories 21:19, October 6, 2010 (UTC) It's just terrible. And stupid. I hate it. Period
 * Put what you did behind you, for science,you monster. 21:25, October 6, 2010 (UTC) IT.MUST.DIE. IT.MUST.FREAKING.DIE.
 * SPARTAN-118 - RIP Monaco. You deserve more then this.
 * Athena32 -Also, sign here ;)
 * Dubiel - Can't in good conscience say I'm a fan of this crappy new skin. Not only does it seem our wiki will need to revamp 95% of our graphics and templates, it also means we're going to have to rewrite every single article just to deal with the crazy, pointless new layout and aesthetics. Not to mention the whole bloody thing will surely be abandoned for something else two years from now.
 * Landyvin - This new layout is horrible, Get rid of it or I will leave.
 * 67.183.72.199 - Just absolutely AWFUL
 * MickeyHikaruMouse - I'm pro-AWA and I am joining the fight! Oasis is nothing but a miserable pile of shit! Send this layout back to the dark, burning depths of hell!!!
 * Frostheart - Yer...
 * Piplupower
 * Yallow Thank goodness we can still use monobook on non Q&A wikis. But who knows how long they'll keep that up? Let the beaurocratic fatheads go to hell, we don't need them.

Wikis

 * Ghostbusters Wiki will support original editors, and therefore if we link to you at wikia, and you move, the link changes. Like Transformers Wiki.
 * Roleplaying Adventures Wiki: we have decided to stay at Wikia at least for the time being. We hate the Oasis skin, and may reconsider if/when Oasis is implemented and if we find it unbearable. We fully support those who are walking.
 * Bakugan Wiki We took a vote and stwaying won 15-5 but we still support those wikis who leave.

Users

 * Devilmanozzy-I don't want to move and don't hate the skin, but I DO support wikis that leave.
 * GTAAAF: Good luck with the exodus.
 * Enodoc (Nice logo btw)
 * Ten Tailed Fox
 * Drago99 Drago99 says   down with   the new skin!!!!!
 * SPRAK IS ON YOUR SIDE FOLKS

Users who don't mind it but still see problems.

 * I don't really mind it but there are a few problems, you can't view history pages on userpages, the page width thing is REALLY annoying and the wikia bar at the top gets in the way at best. Smuff [The cake is a lie. ] 12:34, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

Users who enjoy the new layout

 * BTW, this page looks very nice on the new layout. :) --Callofduty4 18:30, October 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe try something like min-width:800px on the blue bg divs?  Nayayen &mdash; TALK  00:42, October 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not that bad, you get used to it. After using it for around a month, I find it hard to go back to Monaco whenever I need to get on my Bot account for some reason or another.  Z a m o r a k  02:59, October 4, 2010 (UTC)
