Clone Wiki

There are like, 6 similar wikis that use the Tiering System.

This is nothing new, and we can't (And likely shouldn't) do anything, since our tiering system is based off the one of Anime Character Fights.
 
And everyone use the same system, for once I would like they use something different. I would create my own system, but I'm too lazy and old to due that by my own.
 
There's a lot of them and they aren't against any rules.
 
Daba@ What would they gain? Nothing. Just like us, we gain nothing.

And I can say with no doutb that those wikis will turn dead at some point.
 
Also, I don't know if this changes anything, but the guy straight up copy and pasted what's on this onto his.

I bet the clone wikis feel real stupid now that we changed our tiering system.
Also, most of their pages are plagiarized from our wiki.
Yup. I noticed it when I saw the Darkseid page had the same intro as ours.

Well, according to the Fandom rules they technically have to give credit to us in all directly copied pages, but I agree that they do not seem to cause any harm.
 
From what I've seen Ant, the guy who made it has completely copied this wiki and is passing it off as his own.
 
Well, in that case I would appreciate if one or more of our staff members talk with him and tell him that he must give visible credit to this wiki on his front page and other important pages, as it is required by the Fandom rules if he does not want his wiki shut down.

I am an admin of that wiki. I joined sometime after it was created. I have just uploaded an disclaimer. Hopefully that helps, if there is anything we need to do then please let me know.
 
Thank you. That is probably fine then.
 
I suppose so, although you should leave a link to this wiki as well.
