I run two semi-popular wikis. You can have various opinions on AI scraping wikis, but the part I'm talking about here is that these scrapers are visiting pages that very few humans do, and are frankly not useful to scrape. Mostly things like page histories, old revisions, maintenance reports...

Aldous listening to Seymore preform 🥺
Also the way Armie describes violins as "not cool, heck it's lame" feels spoken like how people write on reception wikis.

I'm not saying we need to return to the era of callout posts, or create lolcow wikis. But if we're going to follow-police and make accusations, there needs to be something more substantial than a whisper network.

regrettably most fan wikis use fandom these days which doesn’t have enough gradients to be frutiger aero and instead falls into some other more sinister category

one thing that really upsets me about how fandom wikis often catalogue information is that info will be lumped together regardless of how it came about, or frequently only listed in "in-universe" order, with very little given on how the subject was added onto and expanded on irl over time

the AI game guides/wikis situation is bad. it's so bad. just so much pointless garbage that makes zero sense but can be vomited out a hundred pages a minute to intercept traffic

I mean it, Wikis with a sense of humor who aren’t afraid of adding funny captions under their pictures and such are glorious.
TFWiki is basically the heroic counterpart of the CWCki, a satirical site that ISN’T filled with bigotry, stalking, Nazi imagery, and CSAM.
And it’s actually funny too

soon more will need to be air gapped from online for basic safety, and more projects like wikis will be given up on because the costs of crawling becomes so much that you can't keep shit up for the few real eyeballs that might read them. it's an arms race in automation's favor
