Forums: Index → Watercooler → SWF still links to Wikia
So apparently smashboards still links to Smash Wikia. I've made a post in it's forum support but no replies so far. Can somebody inform them so to link it here? T.testLP (talk) 08:14, 21 November 2010 (EST)
- I've sent two PMs to two different admins, no response. I think Miles has done the same as well. Toomai Glittershine

- Yep. They're impossible to contact, it would seem. Heck, I even asked nealdt and he had no idea. Miles (talk) 12:55, 21 November 2010 (EST)
- Maybe we should start using stronger language, like "You're now linking to a piece-of-crap wiki that we plan to let dissolve into a pile of mush". Toomai Glittershine 14:07, 21 November 2010 (EST)
- The terminology won't matter if they don't check their messages. :/ Miles (talk) 17:25, 21 November 2010 (EST)

Got a response from an admin from SWF
Hi Omega,
We have had some brief discussions about the future of the wiki links within the senate. The reality is we are exploring redoing the entire main page and where the wiki stuff fits in is something we are going to have to consider.
Frankly I am not so sure we are going to continue to have any links what so ever to the wiki. The reality is it is an external site in which we have zero control over.
That said we are going to have to talk about it more and then potentially discuss things with you and the other admin over there.
For now though, we might just take the whole thing down.
Regardless thanks for the pm about the switch.
