Unregistered Editing Disabled
Unfortunately, due to likely a bug/glitch in Fandom’s system, our wiki currently has unregistered (or anonymous) editing disabled and there is no way for me to re-enable it at this time.
I’ve been in contact with Fandom Staff about this issue, and the representative I spoke with has no idea why that option in my Admin Dashboard is disabled and has sent my report on to Fandom’s tech people. They mentioned that another wiki has had a similar problem last month that they sent a bug report in about it to be investigated which doesn’t instill much faith in me that this will be solved anytime soon.
Thankfully, we do not received many unregistered edits, but that doesn’t stop this issue from being annoying. xD;
So until this hopefully gets fixed, yo…
Official Wiki Banner
Happy June everyone. :)
I’m happy to announce that the wiki finally has an official banner/logo! Resinbitz and I have been meaning to get this put together for a while, but it got pushed onto the backburner for one reason or another. It’s finally finished though and live on the wiki! We hope you love it as much as we do. :D
We got a Discord now!
Happy 2023 everyone! Just wanted to make a quick announcement that the BJD Wiki now has a Discord server! This should make it easier to seek help with formatting, research, and so on. You’re even free to drop by and just chit-chat for when you’re taking a break from infodumping the wiki. :)
I got widgets set up on the main page as well as our sidebar, so just click on the join us button to drop in! If you’re having any issues with javascript, then you’re also free to message myself or Resinbitz for an invite link.
Hello 2022 & Off-topic dolls
Hello everyone, and a very belated happy 2022 to you all.
I know things have been pretty inactive here the last year. Unfortunately, last year as well as this one haven’t been so kind to my personal life and overall mental health, so I haven’t been nearly as active on the wiki as I wish I could be. I’d like to return to working on and off on this place, as well as getting word out more that it exists so we can hopefully attract more users interested in editing and adding to the wiki.
I truly do want to make this place a hub of information for those just getting into the hobby as well as those that have been around for years. Considering how many doll companies and artists come and go too, I also feel it’s important to archive whatever inform…
FandomDesktop
A happy July to you all! I hope everyone’s summer has been treating them well so far and that you’ve all been staying cool and hydrated!
For those of you with accounts on Fandom, you likely already know that the website is planning on a big layout/skin update for all wikis. Right now it’s opt-in so you can either use Oasis or the new FandomDesktop, but it is going to be a permanent layout change in the future (though I haven’t been able to find info yet about when the change will be set in stone).
Part of the changes to the layout is that Fandom will be using a different Wiki code than they did previously, and one of the big changes I noted was that Galleries (which, up until now, we’ve used to showcase a company’s sculpts within specific do…
A word about EXIF data
Hello everyone, dropping in again to bring awareness to a bit of information I only just now realized myself while making a few uploads of personal photos of mine.
I have just realized that when you upload a photo to Fandom, it will display the metadata of a photo on it’s page below the image (if there is any data available). While that’s all well and good in regards to finding out about camera models and all that, it will also, unfortunately, fully display the exact coordinates (latitude/longitude) a photo was taken. This is obviously not so great news for doll collectors that primarily take photos at home!
Thankfully, it doesn’t appear that too many photos we’ve uploaded at this point have this data attached to them (and the handful that do…
A Belated Happy 2021
Greetings fellow hobbyists! Popping in to say hi and that we’re all still trucking along on the wiki! :) I’m very happy to say that I have seen new faces pop in now and then to try their hand at editing; it’s so nice to know it isn’t just me and Resinbitz toiling away on here. xD
I wanted to bring up a project I’ve just begun working on to let others know why there might be a big pile of fairly incomplete pages showing up for doll companies (and doll lines as well down the line). I decided to start mass posting pre-formatted pages for as many companies as I can think of to hopefully make jumping into editing less work for those of you out there that might not be too savvy with wiki coding. :) I plan to do the same with doll line pages as we…
happy july!
Hello again everyone, I know it's been a while, but boy, has 2020 been one heck of a year and then some. Just wanted to check in and let everyone know that the wiki isn't dead, just not quite as active at the moment with edits.
I don't know about everyone else, but I do try to drop by and kick around some of the dust and add what I can, but my focus this year has unfortunately gone down the drain due to all the events that have transpired (so far) this year. It's a lot to take in and editing the wiki has taken a backseat this year while I bury myself in gaming and my own doll collection.
That said, I'm still always super psyched to see new usernames pop up in the recent activity page and see that people are still finding their way to this wi…
regarding doll nudity
It has come to our attention that some images of doll bodies had been deleted by FANDOMbot recently for violating Fandom's ToS. I went about contacting Fandom Staff about the deletion and, as I had expected, it was due to the nudity, unfortunately. While Fandom allows some forms of nudity to a limited extent, our dolls are not included under that umbrella.
Fandom Staff informed me that any doll images we have already uploaded and will upload in the future that depict dolls with genitalia and nipples will need to be censored so as to avoid future deletions (dolls with no sculpted genitals or nipples are fine to post as is). Censors can include black bars, dots, pixalation, or anything that otherwise blocks out the view to genitals and nipple…
still here still editing
Hi everyone and happy new year! We're still around editing the wiki and adding to it, just had a bit of a slow down due to all the holidays. xD
Resinbitz and I have managed to clean out a whole pile of unneeded pages and added pertinent info to their proper pages. It's been tedious work, but oh-so-satisfying once completed. c:
Anyway, Resinbitz made a post on the Discussions page, but I figured I'd make a blog post as well about it. We both ask that those that wish to add to the wiki to please avoid copy&pasting information from other sources (such as DoA's wiki, for instance). Not only would we like to avoid giving others the opening to give us problems regarding plagiarizism, but also info at other places may not be up-to-date and will re…
Bureaucrat privileges get!
WELP! Not long after I made my last blog post, I was notified that my adoption request was accepted and I am now the new bureaucrat/admin of this wiki! :D HOORAY! Feel my wrath, useless pages and duplicate images! You're going down!
I've already began deleting items that were previously marked for deletion and fixed up our navigation bar so it's a bit more useful for the average visitor. I'm still working on learning how all the admin tools work, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it over it all over time. I've also put in a request to have a Discussions page and a Community page added to our wiki so visitors and editors have some nice spaces to mingle and organize at on the site.
I'm so excited to properly get this ball rolling, guys!
request sent!
Hello again, friendos. I officially put in my adoption request last Friday and am waiting on a response. Crossing my fingers that it'll be good news and I'll have admin/bureaucrat priviledges! It says that it takes about a week to get a response, so hopefully I'll know something by the weekend. We'll see!
As for the wiki itself, I've been slowly working on fixing up formatting on company pages that are already here, as well as adding new companies in my downtime. I've also started beefing up the Terms category since those I can usually spit out quickly without needing to open up a thousand tabs for research. XD The amount of times I've had to look up a website on Archive.org for old company info is ridiculous, y'all.
Anyway, the wiki is pret…
Sweepy sweep
Hi again friendos! Resinbitz and I have been slowly beating the cobwebs out of this poor wiki over the weekend (and getting dizzy from learning about all the things we can do with it lmao).
I'm currently in the process of clearing out categories that need not exist and marking them and other useless articles for deletion so if I DO manage to eventually get admin priviledges, they'll all be nicely listed and ready for me to snap out of existance.
I haven't yet put in a request since I need to apparently be an active editor for at least a week (as well as give y'all time to be like, "hold up I no want you as admin" if you're against it) to have the best chance of taking over and ruling with an iron fist. I'm planning on getting a request put in…
Enter XSingull!
Hi to whoever might be reading this! I'm XSingull here on Fandom, but I usually go by Singull online (someone beat me to the username here apparently).
I got inspired to make an account and start working on this here wiki with hopes of possibly bringing it to life properly since it just never seemed to get off the ground during previous attempts. We'll see if it works out this time, because this could definitely be an excellent source of information for other doll hobbyists, if given the proper attention it needs! :)
I've started working on organizing categories here and there, as well ascleaning up pages as I go along, on top of just figuring out what all the tools do and how best to use them. x 3x;
Anyway, my hope is to possibly adopt this …
Ball-Jointed Doll Wiki - craneberry
let me start by introuducing who i am. i'm craneberry, a fellow bjd enthusiast. even though i'm involved in the bjd hobby, there are still tons of things that i don't know, which brings me right to this site and why i'm here.
i want to help make this wiki bigger, expand it with loads of information on differetn doll companies and sculpts. just imagine, this wiki could become the next DoA if we try hard enough.
during my time here i will work hard to add tons of new information about different dolls and expand the wiki. if you are interested in helping, please let me know.
thank you!
