Wikipedia article for TMW

Post by samuraiii »

I came across a mean of propagating TMW which our community neglected.
We do not have any wikipedia article concerning this great game.
I do not feel really to do it alone so I ask YOU my fellow players to add some insights which I should not omit in that article.
I'll first post i here for review (when I have something to post) - right now I have just idea.
Any help would be appreciated

Ps: if this is in wrong forum I apologise and kindly ask for moving in right place.

We used to have a page, but it was deleted for being "not notable". I haven't been following the deletionist-vs-inclusionist war lately, so I don't know how likely it would be to be accepted.

A snapshot of the wikipedia page at some point was https://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Wikipedia

However, I think the best approach would probably be to start from scratch. TMW suffers when it reuses old taglines ...

I think there were at least two attempts to start a wikipedia article about TMW. Each time it got deleted for not fulfilling the notability criteria of Wikipedia. I don't think the situation has changed since then.

Well, at least we got an article on TVTropes. Which could need some inbound links, by the way.

  • former TMW Pixel artist
  • NOT a game master

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.


You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

Yes, wikipedia certainly have their own set of biases, and this is one of them. I like wikipedia generally speaking, but at the same time, there are brainless individuals who don't explain to help a person, but go into autopilot and carry on with their own blinkered vision of the world.

Without swearing, I don't intend to use wikipedia any more for adding or editing articles.
