User blog:ElvixPro7/The Wiki is insignificant

I am just a user who is hardly known on the wiki's discord server for a past ban, and here on the wiki almost no one should know me.

''This is my first and last blog, just 600 hours from September 7, which is poetically the same day as my birthday, as if fandom wanted to give me the end of the community where I was for at least 2 years as a birthday gift. I want to give you the same message that I gave to the wiki in Spanish (Sorry for the grammar mistakes, I'm using a translator):''

The wiki is insignificant, those of us who are here, and those who still edit, do so because they feel that it is something with which they can waste their time or whatever reason they have. I am an outsider here, but being part of a sister wiki in another language, I sympathize with what is happening despite my stumbles in the past.

Inevitably a community has formed around an encyclopedia of country balls, something that sounds as stupid as it is surreal, but even so, beyond that, it is still a community.

During the months that had been passing, March, April, May, June, July ... I resigned myself to finally withdrawing from this place, from fandom; a part of me kept me coming back from time to time to see how the wikis followed.

In the midst of these ups and downs I came across what I feared but also saw as something imminent: The End of the Wiki, the end of polandball in Fandom. Some time ago I had a dream related to this final day, in February 2020, and it would count as a prophecy, but it would be wasting my time talking to you about it, because what can be done to save what we can from our wiki is worth more, to be surprised by it.

It's sad, many old talks, messages, blogs, things that led to big events or interesting little moments, will be lost. We will only be able to save the articles and images, at least in their vast majority, but we will never be able to save (beyond the captures) what this wiki was in the almost 9 years that it has been, and that will end on September 7 unless a miracle change things.

But the legacy that concerns us, the laughs we had, the discussions that were started, the perhaps friendships that were formed, will never be forgotten.

When we grow up and have connected for the last time, there will only be memories of that page and those users with whom we spoke at our 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 or until 18 years, and maybe more.

Now it is up to us to decide if we want the history of the community to end here or not, since as a subgroup of the polandball community, it is the editors and contributors to the wiki who make it up. For many, the story will end on September 7, because some may not want to undergo a transfer, for others it will not be the same, and for others it will simply be a minor matter, a stop along the way.

A small feeling of melancholy of the future event of the final day suspended all the discussions and any other type of topic of primary talk, but we cannot wait for the remaining 600 hours to end, we must act.

The wiki is insignificant, weird teenagers spending their time on country balls. These same teenagers will be the ones who will spend our time transferring the insignificant information from the insignificant encyclopedia of country balls, until the last we can, united. And in the end it will still be an insignificant digital act, but it will be something that we like.

I motivate you to help this insignificant encyclopedia to survive, let's collaborate and organize the salvation of the maximum possible in webarchive, to preserve a part of what is the original Wiki before losing it. And let's make this insignificant community remain insignificant, somewhere else, but not get lost.

It seems a demotivation, but it is the truth, and under the truth we will act.

I am an insignificant user who does not even edit nor am I from here and who could not even help with anything because I am already busy with what happens on my wiki, but as part of the sister communities of Polandball wiki around languages, I invite you to save the community and stick together, trust that the administrators will be able to handle the situation and never lose the essence of this place.

I am an insignificant user in a digital sea, and I invite you to save polandball wiki.

Thanks, and bye polandball wiki.
