List of Barney Bunch Wikis: Difference between revisions

Throughout is 17 year history, the [[The Barney Bunch|Barney Bunch]] and [[The Speakonia Community|Speakonia Community]] have attempted to station themselves onto various wikis in the past, with varying degrees of success. Many of them unfortunately close down due to a number of factors. Below is a comprehensive list containing '''all the known Barney Bunch Wikis''' over the year prior to the creation of this one.

While not truly a Barney Bunch Wiki, the Evil Barney Wiki did contain a page about the [[The Barney Bunch (fictional)|Barney Bunch]] and [[Drew Pickles]], though it was mostly a general wiki discussing various forms of Anti-Barney Humor. Sometime in 2015, it was rebranded into a Barney Bunch Wiki, though no members of the community were associated with it, and it was filled to the brim with hundreds and hundreds of pages of utter nonsense. Many within the community has completely disregarded the wiki as little more than a cheap interpretation of the Barney Bunch, with [[IronYoshi1212 Productions|IronYoshi1212]] going as far as to calling it a "glorified Pooh's Adventures Wiki knockoff" in a video where Drew Pickles goes to the wiki. It would eventually lock edits for a brief time in 2022 before being shut down completely by early 2023 in the wake of them purging any Barney Bunch-related wikis.

The Nega Barney Bunch Wiki was launched on June 14, 2012 by user SuperBarneyBunch as a wiki dedicated to the [[The Nega Barney Bunch|alternate universe version of the Barney Bunch]]. While a lot of it is filled with nonsense like the Barney Bunch Wiki (formerly the Evil Barney Wiki), it does contain a few notable pages, one in particular about the early Speakonia group known as the Garfield Gang, and a few community members have contributed to the wiki, mainly BarneyBunchWoodchuck and StraightFusion. It mostly remains abandoned outside a few edits here and there until StraightFusion tried to adopt it, though it was in vain when it was shut down by Fandom in 2023, part of their purge on Barney Bunch content.

=== Barney Bunch Swellest Wiki ===

It was related to the Barney Bunch though nothing is known about it other than the fact it was taken down by a targeted report of Anti-Barney Bunch users on Fandom.

This wiki was the brainchild of [[Skewt]] and MCB1209 following the Wiki Saga, being created on June 23, 2017. It was yet another attempt at creating a more factual based Barney Bunch wiki, complete with lore and information about characters and community members alike, serving as the template for the next two Speakonia Community wikis (and this one by extent). Sadly it would not last very long, as Fandom closed the wiki less than 6 months after its creation on December 8 following reports of it being "homophobic".

Following the closure of the Drew Pickles and the BB Wiki, Skewt teamed up with [[SavageBoy69|SavageBoy]] to create the Speakonia Community Wiki on Miraheze, the same engine used for Wikipedia, on March 24 and 25, 2019. Much of what could be salvaged from the previous wiki was brought forth to the one on Miraheze, and to this day, it remained as one of the most clear and complete picture of the community during the 2010s, with pages about community members, characters, events, and even certain videos. Miraheze's rules and regulations were also not as strict as they were on Fandom, allowing more leeway as far as what content could be posted. The wiki was maintained on a semi-regular basis until November 2020, when SavageBoy announced his retirement. Following this, updates to the wiki would stop, resulting in it becoming inactive. Miraheze would soon lock the wiki from edits and put it up for adoption, with the threat of closure if it wasn't adopted soon, but it was too little, too late, and the wiki would finally close in August 2021. An archived version is accessible via the WaybackMachine, though many of its pages are now lost. However, SavageBoy did manage to find an archived backup of the wiki in 2022, and all the pages were extracted into an xml file.

With the fate of the Miraheze wiki uncertain before its shutdown, IronYoshi (under the username RonaldMcMotherF***ingDonald) decided to start a new wiki back up on Fandom on May 20, 2021. As with the previous wiki, he salvaged as many pages as he could before the Miraheze wiki shut down, while also expanding on certain articles and creating new ones on characters and users who weren't on the Miraheze wiki. He would add a few rules to the Wiki to maintain quality over quantity, mostly in adding in pages about characters and users who have left a major impact on the community or had plenty of information on them, though this would be challenged after StraightFusion and some others like Michael of Random started adding in elements from their own takes or lore on the BB canon (alongside the copious amount of Sandbox pages they created), in addition to inserting themselves into several articles and adding several pages where there is little to no information on the particular subject. It would also serve as the basis for this wiki, with IronYoshi ultimately deciding that two wikis would be beneficial, should something happen to one or the other. Unfortunately, following Fandom's recent string of purging wikis relating to the Barney Bunch, the fate of the Speakonia Community Wiki was ultimately sealed, and was shut down on April 5, 2023.

Yes, you heard it right, Fandom doesn’t allow “Barney Bunch” in the names of wiki communities anymore, hence why the title was censored. This wiki is recently made by community member StraightFusion. It remained mostly abandoned until around 2023, when StraightFusion decided to bring most of his Sandbox pages over to that wiki from The Speakonia Community Wiki in order to better organize the latter and to comply with the new rules IronYoshi made to it. However, this would all be in vain as it would shut down less than a day after he was doing this, with Famdom seeming to crack down on anything with the Barney Bunch on it.

After the Fandom Speakonia Community Wiki shut down, StraightFusion recreated his Real Barney B*nch Wiki as "The Real Barney Bunch Wiki" on Wikidot, now uncensored. It mostly remains in it’s early stage of development.
