Recently I just discovered what the Wiki feature was for. And upon searching, most seem to not know what its purpose is and therefore don't care about it. Never fear, I'm here. It's been approximately never since I wrote an informative 기사 so 당신 are all in for quite the treat!
"It's a glorified article."
I've seen several 코멘트 that Wikis are a "glorified article", insinuating that what 당신 can and would put in a Wiki, 당신 can and would put in an article. That is simply not true. See below for example.
Above is what 당신 can do with an article. That is noticeably missing when 당신 go to create a Wiki for a very simple reason. Wikis are strictly informational.
For arguments' sake, I have tried to put the information I would put in a Wiki in an actual 기사 to show the difference. The result is below.
Okay Heather, 당신 make an excellent point as always. But what DO I put in a Wiki?
Thank you. And as I've said before, make Wikis informational. Think of Wikipedia + Wikia (a fandom spinoff of Wikipedia which ultimately is what 팬팝 is going for here.) This would especially be easy (or difficult depending on your POV) for tv show clubs. I have already made a total of 5 Wikis for 2 different tv shows, and I've only just begun. There is a wealth of knowledge out there to inform current and potential 팬 of.
I can't tell 당신 how many times I have found a club on here for a character, tv show, movie, 또는 celebrity and wanted to learn 더 많이 about them only to have to open up another tab and 구글 it for 더 많이 information myself. Think of how much foot traffic that has 로스트 Fanpop, when it could all be easily accessed right here!
Here are some ideas of Wikis 당신 could make for clubs 당신 are in:
TV Shows - A page for each season, episode, and character
Movie - A page for each character, and spinoffs/sequels
Actor/Actress - A page for characters they have played, tv and 영화 they appeared in
Musician - A page for each album
Awesome! What's to stop people from copy/pasting from Wikipedia/Wikia?
Nothing. But it doesn't mean you should. Not entirely anyway. I copy/pasted summaries for tv episodes for my Wikis but I also didn't take the easy way out and just c/p everything into a Wiki and call it a day. I went the route of Wikia and took screencaps to accompany my words. Take a look at the world's leading Wikia page link. Where I got my inspiration.
We at 팬팝 like images. I think anyway. There's nothing that says Wikis have to be a pile of informative words. Make it fun for the fan! Here are some 링그 to Wikis I have already made so 당신 can see first hand for yourself. I have only just begun tweaking with this and I can think of so much I could add just to one season page. One annoying thing about Wikis is that if 당신 업로드 an image, it uploads automatically to the club sans keywords/credit. Hopefully this gets fixed.

Thanks Heather! This was very helpful. I'm off to watch John Wick now.
You're welcome ;)
TL;DR version Make your Wikis informational, opinion pieces and lists don't belong there!

yellow lighting marks on his arms quills for head
long HEDGE-NAGA tail
