| Thank you for your concerns and I would like to explain why Dovepedia stands out from Wikipedia as well as its special role in the wiki world.
| | I appreciate your concerns and would love to clarify how Dovepedia is distinct from Wikipedia and why it offers a unique contribution to the wiki ecosystem. |
|
| |
|
| Dovepedia stands apart from traditional encyclopedias by advancing the principles of simplicity and inclusivity while prioritising mobile-first design. Dovepedia avoids the complexity and policy-focused nature that characterises Wikipedia. | | Dovepedia is not just a general-purpose encyclopedia—it’s a movement towards simplicity, inclusivity, and mobile-first design. Unlike Wikipedia, which is increasingly complex and heavy on policy and formatting, Dovepedia: |
| * Dovepedia reaches general audiences and English learners through its straightforward writing style which matches the reading level of ''The Guardian'' or ''The Times''. | | * Targets general readers and non-native English speakers by writing in clear, plain English, similar to the reading level of The Guardian or The Times. |
| * The platform offers mobile-friendly readability and easy-to-navigate formatting which makes it perfect for handheld browsing. | | * Focuses on mobile readability and user-friendly formatting, making it ideal for handheld browsing. Many wiki sites aren't truly mobile-optimised—Dovepedia is. |
| * Many wiki sites aren't truly mobile-optimised—Dovepedia is.
| | * Prioritises original human writing—no AI content, no Wikidata dependencies, no excessive templates. |
| * Dovepedia focuses exclusively on human-generated content while avoiding AI-produced text and dependencies on Wikidata along with template overuse. | | * Welcomes niche topics that would be rejected on Wikipedia. Hobby articles, local interest pages, lesser-known creatives and businesses all have a place here. |
| * Our platform accepts niche topics that Wikipedia typically rejects. | | * Operates under a radically open philosophy, with fewer gatekeeping policies and a friendlier editor environment for hobbyists and casual contributors. |
| * Hobby articles along with local interest pages and lesser-known creatives and businesses find their home on this platform.
| | * Rather than competing with Wikipedia, Dovepedia complements it by restoring the original wiki spirit—fast, human-readable, and personal. |
| * The platform follows a radically open philosophy by implementing minimal gatekeeping policies and creating a welcoming editor environment for hobbyists and informal contributors. | | * Our aim is to build a curated yet open space where the joy of writing and reading comes first—not bureaucracy, deletionism, or over-engineering. |
| * Dovepedia serves as a complement to Wikipedia by bringing back the initial wiki principles of speed, personal readability, and authenticity. | |
| * We aim to create a curated open environment where the enjoyment of writing and reading has priority over bureaucracy, deletionism, or over-engineering. | |

|
| I am willing to adjust the Dovepedia listing to align with this ethos if you approve. Let me know what you'd suggest!
| | If you’re open to it, I’d be happy to revise the Dovepedia listing to better reflect this ethos. Let me know what you'd suggest! |

| == Problems with Count Duckula Wiki ==
| |
|
| |
| I originally posted this on the [[Community portal#Problems with Count Duckula Wiki|community portal]]. I can't seem to do anything other than viewing on [[wo:countduckula:|Count Duckula Wiki]]. I am logged in and have the permissions to change the wiki's settings, yet the Administration links aren't showing up. These issues could be why I can't access [[wo:countduckula:Special:Import|Special:Import]] nor [[wo:countduckula:Special:RequestImport|Special:RequestImport]]. Should I create a task on Phorge, and if so, what should I report this issue as? —[[User:PinkPugPrincess|PinkPugPrincess]] ([[User talk:PinkPugPrincess|talk]]) 17:56, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
| |
| :Please could you confirm that you are looking into this? These technical issues are also present on three other wikis, including [[wo:rogerrabbit:|Roger Rabbit Wiki]]. Edit: Zippy confirmed that this is being looked into, and I have created a task on Phorge. —[[User:PinkPugPrincess|PinkPugPrincess]] ([[User talk:PinkPugPrincess|talk]]) 11:44, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
