Just to clarify, I do not call the honest assessment of something "bashing", nor do we have a policy against "bashing" anything but other users. Therefore, even if people were bashing fanfiction wiki, I could only ask them to stop as a personal courtesy, not on the basis of any rules. As a result, I opted to ask Darknesslover5000, who does have a habit of bringing up the fanfiction wiki needlessly, to not bring it up.

The majority of the people here, do not visit the fanfiction wiki. As a result they don't think about it and don't have any strong feelings about it. However, every time Darknesslover5000 mentions it and tells users to go look something-up, they do, are then horrified with what they find and come here and express their sense of outrage.

In short, the problem isn't the anti-fanfiction wiki sentiment, sure people have them but they aren't going out of their way to express it. The problem is the fanfiction wiki continuing to get brought-up, which creates opening for people to vent their anti-fanfiction wiki sentiment. I thought I made myself perfectly clear on that point, even going on to explain why fanfiction wiki is loathed even by users of this wiki who are known to write fanfiction but clearly I was misunderstood.

So let me be clear, there is absolutely no need for anyone to bring-up the fanfiction wiki on this wiki. I actively discourage you to do so as the two do not mix. However, if you do bring it up, be prepared for it to be criticised in the harshest of languages as most users on this site have extremely negative, which are mostly justified, opinion of that wiki.
