List of Barney Bunch Wikis: Difference between revisions

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 up with StraightFusion trying 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.

=== Drew Pickles and the BB Wiki (2017) ===

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 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 An archived version is accessible via the WaybackMachine, though many of its pages are now lost.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 is extracting a few of its pages.

 

With the fate of the Miraheze wiki uncertain before its shutdown, IronYoshi (under the username RonaldMcMotherF***ingDonald) decided to start up 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, 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 along with the Nega-Barney Bunch Wiki.

 

===The Real Barney Bunch Wiki (Wikidot version) (2023-)===

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.
