User talk:Startle Stars

Just coming to wish you luck with the wiki. It was tricky just keeping up my own list, I can hardly imagine juggling several other people's smut lists on top of that. Anyway, if you need help just give me a holler on my talk page. --AA (talk) 05:01, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

I added as many tags from the tagging page that matched my story. If you haven't thought about it, might I suggest adding something relating to personality types? Something to catalog tags like Yandere, Tsundere, and Deredere for those who might actively search for it? Cynical Writefag (talk) 05:39, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Something has already been tagged with Category:Yandere so it's definitely something I will add. Startle Stars (talk) 11:38, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Well...
I hate to say it, but it seems my hunch when this was made proved to be right: Nobody cares enough to contribute to this wiki at an even remotely fast enough rate to justify its existence. Perhaps this might come in handy in the distant future, but right now I advise you just save what's on for now and shut the whole thing down. --AA (talk) 18:31, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

There's no particular reason for this wiki to shut down. --Startle Stars (talk) 20:59, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Maybe I'm just being too pessimistic, but I can't help but notice that there's only four registered users on the wiki who've made virtually every edit, including both of us. That hardly bodes well for its future. I guess I could try to drum up more support for it, but there's only so much I can do there. --AA (talk) 15:37, 13 April 2017 (UTC)


 * The main reason for there being zero reason to shut the wiki down is because Miraheze. I do check every single edit made by other users because I have it set up to a RSS feed. If you are going to try drumming up support at /efg/, I can try drumming up support in some other fic locations. --Startle Stars (talk) 20:07, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I'll try, but I've found that they're rather slow to adopt this sort of thing even when I do ask them to do so. Still, I guess it couldn't hurt. --AA (talk) 20:52, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

A brief request
Would you mind deleting the category for Belgianon and all his fics? He's taken the links down and would prefer that they not be kept here for personal reasons. --AA (talk) 05:00, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
 * It's been done. --Startle Stars (talk) 14:25, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Forum possibility
Would it be possible to create a forum that can be linked to the wiki? /efg/'s days are numbered due to mod interference, and it may be possible in the future we need to permanently move off of 4chan. In that event, we'll need a place to meet and discuss fics at, and I figure a forum of some kind would be our best bet. --AA (talk) 01:59, 25 June 2017 (UTC)


 * There are extensions that can add forums, but it might take time (if avaliable at all) for the miraheze staff to set that up if nobody has done a miraheze wiki with such an extension before. We could also add a separate forum which would need separate hosting in some form because Miraheze only does mediawiki. If we did get a URL we can connect this wiki to that URL, i'm fairly certain. I'm not willing to pay the financial costs for such a thing as I have another website I have to spend money hosting. I don't know what the optimal choice is. Perhaps consult /efg/. --Startle Stars (talk) 02:14, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Wiki complaint
I've been hearing complaints that the tagging system simply doesn't work here- the stories need proper summaries like Literotica has because the tags are meaningless to people who want to know the actual plot.

We also need more editors, period. Can we do some kind of recruitment drive? It couldn't hurt- it seems we're hopelessly out of touch with the /trash/ thread at the least. --AA (talk) 01:32, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
