Wikipedia:WikiQuizzes


This wasn't necessarily a bad idea, but is now a decade old and has clearly not caught on—other than the two demo quizzes created in 2010, nobody has every actually used this to create a quiz. (Wikitext isn't and never well be a particularly good format for this kind of thing, and given that there are so many alternatives on the net that are easier to use and infinitely more customisable, I can't imagine this is ever actually going to catch on as a Wikipedia thing.) I suggest that this either be deleted outright, or it be marked as historical and all incoming links broken; at the moment all it's doing is wasting the time of people who see the link and think "what's this?", and potentially frustrating and upsetting good-faith new editors who stumble across the link, sign up to it and then wonder why their submissions go ignored. (If this is deleted rather than just marked as historical, its assorted subpages also need to be included.) &#8209; Iridescent 12:47, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep or mark historical. Do not delete.  This does appear to have been quite a decent idea.  I don't see why Wikipedia should not have some kind of quiz system;  it seems a naturally good fit for what we do.  Certainly keep this around to allow for future programmers / quiz gurus to adapt from or improve upon. Why is this even at MFD? --Doncram (talk) 05:16, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep - It is dusty, but I do not hear any sneezing. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:32, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Feel free to archive, if you concern is that someone will be damaged by believing that this is active.  Do not delete Wikipedia history.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:54, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
