Hi! I saw your blog at random, despite not being into RAIN CODE myself. Even though I left when the game came out, since I wasn't planning on playing it, I was the person who created the Miraheze Wiki! So I'm really thankful to see it mentioned in your pinned post. It's a little bit funny to see you mention it being "in its starting stages" because I feel like I wrote that on the main page many months ago when I created it-- it probably should no longer be that way, right? OTL I'm hoping the Wiki can stay active, since I created it to help future fans of the game, so if you have information that isn't on the Wiki yet, I'm sure it's admins and visitors would be super thankful if you contributed them.
As a note, do you know that generally, when people say "Fandom Wiki", it's because there's a common Wiki farm called "Fandom"? There's no particular reason to call the Wiki hosted on Miraheze a "fandom wiki" haha. (I'm genuinely curious if you know!)
Anywaayyy from a fandom girlie (gender neutral) to another, good luck with your blog!!
Hello! Thank you so much for making the Miraheze Wiki in the first place! It truly means alot for us and I'm grateful for your hard work even when you're not a fan ^w^
There has been some improvements on the wiki now since I've first made my pinned post. So technically it's not on its starting stages any longer considering that Rain Code has a small fandom.
As for the Fandom controversy, I didn't know that!
Well, I knew of the controversy which led to the migration to other wiki platforms but I didn't think that "fandom wiki" means a wiki in Fandom and not a wiki made by the fandom. I'll be sure to correct that, so thank you for the information ^w^
I do wish to give the information I've already compiled here to the wiki itself for my fellow fans. However, I find it difficult getting into contact with the admins and currently I'm not confident enough to edit the wiki itself on my own. (If you have any idea how to get into contact with them, I'll appreciate it since I don't understand how Miraheze works)
It's one of the reasons why I chose to make this blog in the first place so it can be easily accessed by my fellow fans while I currently can't give it to the wiki since I saw in the Danganronpa wiki that some information came from a tumblr blog as well.
Thank you for your kind words! I hope you well on your endeavors too! ^w^
