The Creative Wikis Wiki is a reception wiki focusing on good wikis and users; it is the sister wiki to Tiresome Wikis Wiki.

History[edit | edit source]

On August 23, 2022, a user named Money12123 (then known as FatBurn0000) created a thread on Miraheze's stewards' noticeboard about reviving a wiki named Incredible Wikis and Users Wiki. After some discussion, FatBurn decided that the wiki's name was going to be Creative Wikis Wiki. However, when he submitted the wiki request for Creative Wikis Wiki, it was declined because a wiki creator thought it would cause problems.

While that discussion was going on, a user named Tali64^2 created a page about creating a sister wiki for Tiresome Wikis Wiki, which he is an administrator on. He decided that the best course of action was to wait for ShoutWiki to upgrade to 1.35 and its wiki creator to be fixed so that the wiki (which he decided was going to be named Incredible Wikis Wiki, with no relation to the aforementioned Incredible Wikis and Users Wiki) could be on ShoutWiki, like Tiresome Wikis Wiki is.

On October 11, 2022, Money12123 created another thread concerning the wiki request. After some more discussion, he submitted another wiki request for Creative Wikis Wiki, which was also declined because it would violate provision 5 of the then-recently amended Content Policy: "Miraheze does not host wikis where the community has developed in such a way as to be characterised as toxic."

On December 3, 2022, Tali64^2 created Creative Wikis Wiki on an obscure wiki farm named EditThis.info, with plans to move it to ShoutWiki when its wiki creator is fixed. He did this because the creation of new reception wikis was prohibited on Miraheze per a successful RfC and the release of MediaWiki 1.39 would possibly delay the fixing of ShoutWiki's wiki creator.

On February 7, 2023, the EditThis.info version of Creative Wikis Wiki was locked from editing to prepare for a move to a free web host, which was completed the next day. On April 1st, the wiki changed domains within ByetHost, as its old one had become a parking site. The old domain had come back up a few days later, but Tali64^2 decided to keep CWW at the new domain to prevent confusion on which domain was the current one.

On August 30, 2023, Creative Wikis Wiki moved to Fandom due to exceeding ByetHost's daily hit limit and being taken down there. On October 7, 2024, Creative Wikis Wiki was shut down on Fandom and moved to x10hosting, using a subdomain provided by FreeDNS.
