User:Naleksuh/Miraheze VS. Fandom

Creating a new wiki or choosing whether to jump an existing one?

Advantages to Miraheze

 * 1) Miraheze is non-profit
 * 2) Miraheze uses more up to date software (Miraheze uses 1.34, FANDOM uses 1.19 which stopped being supported in 2015)
 * 3) Miraheze allows you to select your own skin (FANDOM forces one specific skin)
 * 4) Miraheze lets you choose which extensions you should and should not use
 * 5) Miraheze lets you have private wikis/privately editable wikis.
 * 6) Miraheze does not have ads
 * 7) Miraheze allows admins to change more aspects of the wiki without asking staff (interface pages, javascript pages, css pages, group permissions, and new namespaces)

Advantages to FANDOM

 * 1) FANDOM allows you to sign in with OAuth of already existing accounts (Miraheze requires a new password to remember)
 * 2) FANDOM allows you to directly create wikis (on Miraheze you must request a wiki)
 * 3) FANDOM is more populated, and you're more likely to find the community you want from there

Which site should you choose for your new wiki, depends mostly on your goal. But in my opinion I greatly prefer Miraheze.
