Fandom - anyone can write a page, leading to a lot of bad pages that get taken down quickly and a community mostly composed of young children, creativity is a lot easier because of the loose lore and rules. The mods aren't particularly abusive for an online community.
Wikidot - Writers must be verified, so the writing quality is generally higher. The mods kinda suck though, so a lot of the best writers in 2021 moved to Liminal Archives leaving the Wikidot with ok at best recent levels. This by far has the most lore out of any wiki since Fandom pages contradict each other leading there to not really be an official canon.
Liminal Archives - Newest Wiki, generally great writing quality, pages take a ton of verification to get published so there aren't as many pages as Wikidot/Fandom, drastically different lore
Oh yeah also a lot of Wikidot users blindly hate the fandom because they've got literally nothing left going for them besides a community of teenagers that lash out at anyone having fun, "I hate the Old Wiki" is just a meme started by Mr. Ferrante where he made a parody rap about the downfall of Wikidot
Wikidot is the Walgreens of backrooms wikis. I'm not elaborating
Wikidot has better levels but it's harder to get a level published, Fandom has worse levels but anyone can get it published
TBH as someone who used to exclusively read Wikidot, I think we are even with Wikidot at this point in writing quality. There are some seriously bad levels on Wikidot nowadays, and the Wikidot community is downvoting levels that fit The Backrooms lore like level 15 because they are too simple. The only levels that really get published on Wikidot now are stupid format screws that don't fit the lore and just feel like a writers excuse to write in their favorite genre instead of one that makes sense for The Backrooms
Nah th3 Sh4dy Gr3y is a good level, im talking about really stupid format screws like Rot in Hell Jane and Sensory Deprivation
Format Screws are inherently bad, some of them really work like 404, 53, and Sh4dy Gr4y, but GOD DAMN bad format screw levels are the worst
What do you think?
