Why Drillimation Systems Will Never Run Another Fanon Wiki

From 2015 until 2019, Drillimation Systems was the owner of both the Dream Logos and Fiction Wikis. They were both fanon wikis, with the Dream Logos Wiki being a fanon Logopedia and Dream Fiction Wiki being a fanon Wikipedia. Speaking of which, the latter could end up being described as a “semi-anarchy” wiki, a type of fanon wiki that has very few or no rules on content. Wiki admins rarely intervene on the site meaning users can do almost anything they want without the fear of getting punished. If permitted, vandalism is allowed on these sites, creating a lawless and chaotic environment. As such, you would need strong survival skills and constant vigilance if you want to create content on these sites.

Among all of the chaos and disorder, anarchy wikis often have long-standing histories and rich cultures, with users joining together to form groups and alliances. The owners of these wikis rarely reset the wiki, meaning the whole history of all the pages and destruction is there for everyone to explore. New users should be prepared to defend their pages against the malicious.

Dream Fiction Wiki was not the first “anarchy wiki”. Creation Wiki was a similar site that existed before Dream Fiction Wiki. Unfortunately, these wikis have become notorious for their chaotic and toxic environments. A general anarchy wiki allows users to freely engage in vandalism and cheating (including hacking) without fear of facing a permanent ban.

Here’s a detailed anatomy of a site of this nature:

• A typical site operates without any resets since creation.
• Wikis generally have little to no rules on what players can do, and users cannot face bans of any length, making it a haven for users seeking a chaotic and unrestricted experience.
• These sites are infamous for their toxic userbase with common occurrences of cheating, vandalism, violence, and racism, the lattermost two of which would typically violate a hosting provider’s terms of service.
• Pages are often vandalized, referencing their chaotic nature and lack of rules.
• Users can often use hacks and exploits to take their game to the absolute limits.
• These sites have seen thousands of groups and bases rise and fall throughout their history.

As the Dream Fiction Wiki’s golden age progressed, I started growing concerned about some of the content people were creating on the site. This also includes those whose content would go against FANDOM’s Terms of Service. Indeed, the media would eventually consider the site one of the worst fanon wikis in history, partly due to its toxic user base and culture. Out of all the content users have placed on the site, there has been spam, trolling, and trash-talking, as well as content contrary to FANDOM’s user agreement.

Despite all that, the site did have a profound influence on the Drillimation Danmaku Universe games. Several characters started on the Dream Fiction Wiki before they became canon to the series.
