Speedy deletion of Wikidot
A tag has been placed on Wikidot requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Wikidot, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised.

If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add  to the top of Wikidot.

Software and features
(Software is available free of charge to everyone at wikidot.org) Wikidot uses its own software and wiki syntax, both of which are under continuing development. It recently deleted the limit of members for "private" (closed shop) wikis. Users can create free wikis, or pay for a premium wiki to avoid ads. Wikis can be public or private and only viewable by those who know either the the wiki -site password or are definetly members. If owners of wiki-sites want to "monetizing" their site Wikidot uses Google's AdSense program to run ads)

Pros: One of the advantages of the Wikidot is its support of password protected private wiki. ( now more than 40 % of the sites  are private) and the easy to install and use of a site specific forum. The software is quite easy to use. Also, there is no restriction on the number of users, number of pages, or revisions.

Cons

A little drawback of theWikidot platform is its limited space offered  for files ( images, pdf, doc, xls a.s.o -300 MB) for  free. Not limited are all txt-pages and their revisions. But with the possiblity to embedd Videos, Images from other services this is not e a real problem. Also, the Wikidot syntax is easy to use for beginners and non-technic starters, but if the beginners get more and more knowledge, they are often over roled by the lot of features and the  sophisticated functionality. The permissions are different to set for user-attributes, but in current release there is no possibility to "hide" a page or category.

History
The site was launched on 1. August 2006 under Rel 1.0, an today (10. March 2008) there are  more than 93.000 user with over a million pages of user-created  content. Every day the wiki farm gets  about 500 new users.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Helmuti pdorf. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Helmuti pdorf~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:19, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
