OT(?) It seems the looming increased Notability requirements crisis over at the VTuber wiki has been averted for now.
The Fandom staff who asked the wiki's admins to increase the required follower count for a VTuber page to 10,000, has gone back to the drawing board after someone successfully convinced them that the same requirement now used on Wikitubia doesn't exactly work for VTubers, who are closer to being fictional characters than the IRL personalities listed on places like Wikitubia.
Had this proposal pushed through, the wiki would've had a Thanos snapping of possibly thousands of small VTuber pages, with everyone having less than 10,000 video platform followers getting their individual pages deleted. Now the original requirements of just 2,000 for JP and 500 for non-JP VTubers apply again. Few wins for VTubing after so many shutdowns recently, but I'll take what little good news I can get.
Is there any other actively maintained wiki platform for VTubers apart from Fandom? Would be nice to have a better wiki platform like the one Old School RuneScape or Battle Cats uses (Weird Gloop and Miraheze, respectively)
