==Dovepedia==

~~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~~.

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.

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 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.

* ~~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.

* Dovepedia reaches general audiences and English learners through its straightforward writing style which matches the reading level of ''The Guardian'' or ''The Times''.

* ~~Focuses on~~ mobile readability and ~~user~~-~~friendly~~ formatting~~, making~~ it ~~ideal~~ for handheld browsing. Many wiki sites aren't truly mobile-optimised—Dovepedia is.

* The platform offers mobile-friendly readability and easy-to-navigate formatting which makes it perfect for handheld browsing.

* ~~Prioritises original~~ human ~~writing—no~~ AI ~~content, no~~ Wikidata ~~dependencies, no excessive templates~~.

* Many wiki sites aren't truly mobile-optimised—Dovepedia is.

* ~~Welcomes~~ niche topics that ~~would be rejected on~~ Wikipedia. Hobby articles, local interest pages, lesser-known creatives and businesses ~~all have a place here~~.

* Dovepedia focuses exclusively on human-generated content while avoiding AI-produced text and dependencies on Wikidata along with template overuse.

* ~~Operates under~~ a radically open philosophy~~, with fewer~~ gatekeeping policies and a ~~friendlier~~ editor environment for hobbyists and ~~casual~~ contributors.

* Our platform accepts niche topics that Wikipedia typically rejects.

* ~~Rather than competing with~~ Wikipedia~~, Dovepedia complements it~~ by ~~restoring~~ the ~~original~~ wiki ~~spirit—fast~~, ~~human-readable~~, and ~~personal~~.

* Hobby articles along with local interest pages and lesser-known creatives and businesses find their home on this platform.

* ~~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.

* The platform follows a radically open philosophy by implementing minimal gatekeeping policies and creating a welcoming editor environment for hobbyists and informal contributors.

* 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.

~~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!

I am willing to adjust the Dovepedia listing to align with this ethos if you approve. Let me know what you'd suggest!

Warm wishes,

Need help with importing Module:Documentation/styles.css and Module:Message box/ambox.css

There is an error saying: Import failed:

The content model 'sanitized-css' is not registered on this wiki.

See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Content_handlers to find out which extensions handle this content model.

When I create the module manually it says: Lua error at line 1: unexpected symbol near '/'. --'''[[User:LeicesterLass|Leic]][[User talk:LeicesterLass|Lass]]''' 03:15, 8 August 2025 (UTC)

== 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)
