[Wikia-l] 203 new wikis

[DanTMan]

It was an external forum community, I ran into the topic one day when 
searching.
The request was rejected, twice... Once when they did it on their own, 
and at another point in time when I was helping out with it.
The only content that came out of it is the Articles on the Animepedia, 
I already contacted the founder of that wiki.

Really, it's just that Wikia appears to have gotten looser with the 
process of creating a new wiki. Now it's more of a "Grant first, think 
later... Unless there is something horridly and obviously wrong".
In the past more requests without as much background to them were 
normally rejected. Small series weren't considered large enough for a 
wiki of their own as one point.

Though, whatever the case, it is an unfortunate fact that a lot of the 
Animanga wiki fail. I've seen a lot requested, however they normally end 
up as inactive wiki. That's sorta why I started Wikia ACG. Though, I 
need to get back to working on some of the templates and systems. There 
are a number of things to build, however I'm currently focused on 
creating my Profile/Portfolio software... ;) Templates don't help create 
an online portfolio of code that you can show to local businesses to get 
a small job to pay for the extra essentials during schooling.

Though, for the Negima wiki... I think the wiki should be moved to 
simply negima.wikia.com over the redirect. MahouSenseiNegima is the 
Japanese romanization, and it's hard to read. The two series are quite 
often seen referred to as Negima! and Negima!? (Negima!? is the spin-off).
